#1113 Every time you log on the net and look at a picture that's coloured too dark to see much detail, you immediately start playing with your "+" and "-" keys...before you remember, "Oh yeah...that's only in the game." (That urge actually happened to me just tonight, I'm so used to adjusting Thief's display!)

#1114 You use your CD burner to burn yourself a backup copy of your new Thief Gold CD because you're just SOOO paranoid about the possibility of scuffing it up too much taking it in and out of that little cardboard sleeve it comes in.

#1115 You burn several more copies in case something should happen to the first copy you made.

#1116 You test each CD to make sure the whole game functions properly by playing the whole game through all the missions on EACH ONE.

#1117 You decide that's still not enough proof and that there might STILL have been something copied wrong, so you go back and replay all the CDs in both the "hard" and "expert" levels as well.

#1118 You later on decide the entire exercise wasn't necessary since you never take the Thief Gold disc out of your CD-ROM drive anyway.

#1119 You are near a swimming pool. Out of the corner of your eye, you notice in passing a pattern of dancing "wavy lights" reflecting from the sun off the top of the pool's water on to a nearby wall, and your first mental reaction is to think you're near one of Constantine's "sideways" pools of water.

#1120 You're so anxious to not accidentally repeat any of the previous 1119 clues that you re-read the ENTIRE HUUUUGE list on here before you add your latest ideas. Every time, just to be safe.

And now a set of "clues" guaranteed to be nominated for the "most warped" award:

#1122 You actually wear (get this) official "Thief" underwear! They are jet black with the white THIEF letters right across the butt. (I refuse to get any more elaborate in the possible ideas for such a pair of underwear, I'm not warped enough)

#1123 You have several pairs of these, actually, and never wear normal underwear.

#1124 You are strange enough to feel adventurous whenever you are and whatever you do as though you were living a "Thief" scenario just because you're wearing these ridiculous things under your real clothes.

#1125 You start raiding and thieving in real life just BECAUSE you're wearing these ridiculous things under your clothes.

#1126 You start raiding and thieving in real life while wearing nothing BUT these things!

And what sort of warped individual would be odd enough to design such a set of underwear in the first place? Well, that leads to...

#1127 You made them YOURSELF.

(Everybody gag now http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif )


Ok, now back to the normal listings.

#1128 You are convinced you have become allergic to light.

#1129 You get somebody to design a special "Thief model" of computer for you to play it on, decorated jet black with Thief illos, etc.

#1130 You go even further and get some computer repair genius at your local repair store to install a special secondary hard drive in it that has nothing on it but the entire Thief game so you can play it whenever you like without the CDs.

#1131 If you are a guy, you start dating any woman that looks like Viktoria. Or if you're a woman, you date any guy who looks like Garrett.

#1132 If you can't find anyone like the above in either case, then if you're a guy you MAKE your girlfriend look like Viktoria, or if you're a woman you MAKE your boyfriend look like Garrett.

#1133 If you're a guy, you get together with other guy fans of Viktoria and start a "Viktoriamania" craze that puts "Leomania" to shame. Ditto for women concerning Garrett, of course. http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

#1133 If you're a woman, you start practicing Viktoria's "Constantine mansion giggle" because you know how much it turns on your Thief-loving boyfriend. http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Or if you're a guy, you practice impersonating Garrett's voice because your Thief-loving girlfriend is crazy about it.

(Well, I'm trying to help keep the thread alive anyway. Hope it helped. http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif )

Ohh no you don't. Get back up here.

1135: You, having finished Thief more than once, are quite seriously considering buying the Gold edition.

# 1139 You have actually reached this area in the demo.

# 1140 You know of which texture the very alpha-ish rooms above here are.
