You know you're an EV fanatic when...

1. You go to church and pray for the conversion of the Rebels
2. You wonder why the President pays so much attention to the Mideast crisis when there's a much bigger Strand war going on
3. You win the $21 million Ed McMahon sweepstakes and then say into the camera: "I'm gonna by a Confederation Cruiser!"
4. When you see a map, you don't see cities and roads, but systems and hyperspace routes.
5. No matter now many (real) bars you go into, nobody wants to give you a mission.
6. You brag to your girlfriend about how you Monty Pythoned a Confederation Cruiser with a shuttle and when you whisper sweet nothings in her ear you make obscure references to the Rebel-Confederate war.
7. Even though they try to sympathize with you, the local right-wing militia extremists can't make sense of your "Free Populous!" banners
8. After playing MAGMA , you ask Meowx to revise your school picture
9. You go to NASA and fly up to the International Space Station, only to be disappointed at the fact that it does not have a bar, shipyard, outfit supply, commodity exchange, or even a mission computer- and your armor and shileds are not repaired either!
10. You get ticketed for speeing and you tell the officer things like, "I don't have to pay money to YOU- you have to pay tribute to ME! I dominate this world! I wiped out your defense fleet and I get (whatever) credits a DAY from you! huh!"
11. You make out extensive plans to upgrade the family car with a hyperdrive, shields, and some heavy missile launchers.
12. You sit down at your keyboard and your right hand automatically lands on the thrust (arrow) keys, and your left hand automatically touches down on the "target select" (tab)and "secondary weapon trigger" (shift) keys.

Feel free to add to this.

17. When you post another one of these topics.

Might I add that I've seen every one of those, only with minute wording changes.

(edit)Regarding number 16, I do this too, only my hands go straight for the controls for Deus Ex.(/edit)

These are from various people who posted in my old "YKYPEVTMW" topic:

19)Your house is shaped like an Argosy
20)You change your last name to "Evrules" and claim it's Russian.
21)You convince yourself you can "hold" your bathroom urge until you complete just one more mission -- then you realize you told yourself that three missions ago!
22)Food - Who needs it? Sleep - you already got two hours yesterday....
23)You believe yourself when you say, "It's just a game. I can quit any time I want."
24)You constantly use analogies to EV in daily speech.
25)Every time you look at a triangle, you instanly think of Mantas and Clippers.
26)You keep realising that there isn't a keyboard near your lap.
27)You invite neighbor kids over to be your crew.

I've done all but number one. The only reason I havn't done that is because I'm a Rebel.

Same here, except that my secondary fire is on 'Q'
I play MacOS the same way too, I just move my thumb between 'Space' and 'Command'

------------------
When in doubt, go fish.

i use num 8 to thrust. 4 num to turn left. 6 num to turn right. 5 num to fire. 0 num for secondary. enter num to talk. Ive changed everything for more relaxing controls.
