Day 46 -- Insomnia?


So it's technically Thursday. It's 4:31 AM at the moment, and I have slept maybe 6 hours total today, all of the hours being from little naps.

It's official: Laptop + Internet + Travian = No sleep.

I'm surprisingly not tired, though. Maybe it's all the caffeine I regularly consume, or the lack of movement (aka burning off energy) that has brought about a sense of alertness. I feel awake. Refreshed. I can sleep for an hour and wake up ready to do a whole day.

Could I be showing symptoms of being an insomniac? Probably not. But it's still something to keep in mind.

But Travian is taking up a whole bunch of my time. I'm on it so much, I'm thinking of making my own Travian blog, just so people can see how I play and better their game, or maybe even better my own. :D

I need to do my Composition homework... we actually got to write a little blurb on a messy room. I'll stick that on WF sometime soon... haven't been on that site for a while... Travian takes up most of my day... :(

Day 44 -- Travian Starts Again

So I started Travian again on the 29th of May. I am now in college, as everyone should know, and I have way too much free time on my hands. So I thought, what better way to pass the time than to play Travian? So here I am.

There were quite a few so's in that last paragraph, as my Comp. professor would say. But so what? :D

For those of you that don't know what Travian is, here's about as quick of a rundown as I can possibly do: It's a RTS, or Real-Time Strategy for non-nerds, and consists mainly of building up resources and buildings and troops and then attacking the crap out of everyone around you. You play with tens of thousands of other real human players, so the experience gets pretty wild. Emotion plays a big part, because if you make someone mad... watch out!

I decided to play Romans, the easier of the three tribes, in my opinion. I have a couple friends playing with me now, like Andrew, Nissen, and Jon. I also have my old ally from server 2, Karen, so we should be able to do a little domination.

Only problem is... this takes a lot of time to do, lol. I spend about 3/5 of my day online now, building, raiding, messaging. No time for anything else, lol. :D

Another thing... while I was checking out strategies and such for the new server, I found this website with a guy selling a book on strategy. So I think to myself, hey this has to be a scam or something... But he's willing to give 12 or so tips for free so we can see he's genuine. TRUST ME: He IS genuine. :D Not to mention funny... Anyway, without trying to sound like an advertisement whore, here's his website: http://tips4travian.com/

Anyway, the main website is Travian.com, and I am registered in server 9. If you want to join an alliance with me, just message Darkdyer! :D
