PONTIMANIA!!!!!!

[Dreadnough]

42) ... when you have forgotten your age, but remembers how many different bridges you've built.

43) ... when you have catagorized every bridge by type and number.

44) ... whenever you see a bridge you say the bridge type and number.

33) You can tell the difference between suspension and cable-stayed bridges.

34) You can tell the difference between Andy24 and pulsejet5 ;-)

Regarding reason number 29.
Should be like this instead:
When your number of posts is less than 40.
(If you're posting here you ain't playing.)

I think that if you are actively involved with the community that should qualify you as a Pontimaniac. As long as the content of those posts are more than me too!

That is why I think post 37) is more appropriate than 29). However, they are both in support of the idea that being involved in an online community about bridge building indicates that you are a Pontimaniac.

Contest one is almost over and I don't feel very sane right now.

You know you're a Pontifanatic if:

1) You're scared to death of crossing bridges because you can't turn "Analyze Stress" on.

2) You keep saying 'That one is real ugly' or 'I could of built that one much cheaper' when looking at bridges.
3) You're afraid of travelling by train since you could pass a badly designed bridge on the way.
4) You keep looking for floating anchor points to hang your clothes.

5) You're afraid some supreme being decides to play Baseball with your car as you venture near anything that remotely looks like a bridge.

You know you're a Pontimaniac if...
6) ... you dream of having a date with "Miss Sweden", wake up, read this on the web (http://www.velorian.org/miss_sweden.htm)

Miss Sweden. ... Twenty students killed as school bus skids off Gloemstrom Bridge. The reigning Miss Sweden and the student's ski coach were among those killed .

and think: "If they'd let me build the bridge, she'd still live." before finding out it's a piece of fiction anyway.

7) You can do rapid pythagoras in THREE dimensions (from all those rapid budget calculations)

[mat-c]

8) You have a favourite bridge (Mine is the Golden Gate Bridge)
9) You structurally analyse anything that looks even vaguely bridge-like...
10) Isambard Kingdom Brunel is your hero (Clifton!)
11) You find yourself talking about the pros and cons of suspension versus cable stayed bridges to your family and (ex) friends...

12) You start trying to make bridges out of your food when you eat dinner
13) You daren't play that #### contest level any more in case you manage to shave another Ū off the cost

14) Your friends look at you shake their heads, and say "He used to get out more, I wonder what happened.", having never played Pontifex.

15) You find yourself typing First Post!!!!1 less, and No TT, 0 BL, Clean much more often.
