Longest time you have ever played?

I have to laugh at some of the replies here, as they are all very tame.

All the answers are talking about game days, some of which are far too long.

However, I was playing two games and I spent 96 hours or four days without sleep. It would have been 97 hours but I had an hours sleep during that time.

I have done 24 hours before that on a number of occasions, which is why I took a two year break from playing the game, five or six games at a time, someone always wants to invade when you want to go to sleep.

However, the 96 hours was when someone stabbed me in the back after I had given them a peace deal. I could have destroyed them days or more a week or so into the game, but I keep my peace deals. One night before I was due to go to sleep, Sweden decided to park his navy right up against the UK. Spain was his ally and I had been speaking to him, and he kept lying to me, which I really hate, but I knew that they was going to invade, so I destroyed Sweden's navy and then Spain said I would not be able to destroy his navy so easy.

I lost the whole of the UK due to their invasion, but I still had my navy, air force and troops to take land. In the end I destroyed both of them, I got another player his first solo win and I came second in the game despite losing everything. I beat third place by one point.

I have not done this since, stayed awake for that long, I might have done an all nighter since then, but I try not to care and I always put my troops as safe as I can so I still have something to fight with.

Please do not be stupid enough to do all nighters, or staying awake for days on end. It can seriously destroy your health and in some cases has actually killed people for playing to long.

My sleep pattern was messed up doing this for real life, and I now rely on sleeping tablets to get me to sleep every night, that and a few beers. When I was not on sleeping tablets, I used to self medicate with booze just to try and get me to sleep, but that would give me either a few hours of bad sleep in the evening, or a whole night of bad sleep, where you sleep for eight hours, but you wake up and you are still tired, semi drunk and need of another beer for hair of the dog.

Please take this as a health warning, as I say I took a two year break from the game, as it was taking over my life, a lot of people that I played with had been playing this for four or five years, a lot of them have gone now. I am on a new account because I could not remember my old account, otherwise my rank would be a lot higher. This game can be addictive and it can take over your life if you let it. Once you start going five or more games you are now having an addiction problem.

If you are spending money on gold, then please think. It does not make you good at the game, because you have a million pound in your bank account, and can buy everything. In the end, you are still rubbish at the game, but more important you are broke and addicted, just like fruit machines/slots or gambling.

Yeah sadly the research is very poor, you should be able to queue that the way that you can weapons. If you are not on membership though then you are at a disadvantage build queues are handy, even though I hated paying for it, but as I was playing it so much then I thought that I would try it and had spare cash.
It is a tad addictive, but sometimes it is more about pride than thinking that it is only a game. Yeah don't get me wrong, I do give up at times, but I have to be badly beaten first before I give up. If I think that I still have a chance then I don't give up.

The last game that I gave up on was some mouthy idiot who was Indonesia, and I was India, near enough start of the game, and he was spending gold, giving it all the mouth, I knew that I was beat as was about ten days, and I did not have the forces to combat his gold spending.

I don't mind losing, but when you get mouthy idiots, then I hate losing. When you get gold spenders I hate losing, if you lose to a better player, or a good coalition then I don't mind that, I have learnt from that experience and adapted my game because of it.

However, well done you are the first forum general that is not up his own backside lol you gave an adult reply

Usually it doesnt work like this.

When you encounter a golder first thing is evade air firce build to avoid defeat by sabotahed airfields.

Second is upgrading to SAM, theater defense and MRLs.

Navy usually is not the way to go...this is a melee unit that repairs to slow to make any significant long lasting effect...

When i encounteres a golder i couldnt hide my fleet cause he spend the 10k to reveal the position. Then he force marched and healed before and during the fight...

Get a life damn...
Correcting every bodies damn mistakes... if you would be nice with it like 'Hey, you know it's Hart not "Heart" right?'
But no... you not even just you... yall Forum elders always got to be undermining new players... like they're retarded.
Like ok... I'll fix it but, just don't be a jackass and go correcting peoples stuff. There's literally a wall comment you could use.

(Excuse my language)

Like some noob players might no more or have better strategies than you,,,

I don't want yall respect, all if want is common courtesy...

And what is with these ode words coming from the elders like, "The dog that got hit is barking"
Like... only you guys understand that is because ya'll are old hasbin... yall cant tell it how it is so you code word which makes it not understandable.

The post about "Burning of lockheed Martin" is for some things I said earlier, and I thought Lockheed Martin made most stealth units.
I learned something there...

CONTRARY to popular belief I learn something new at this forum like every day I'm here... I just don't express it.

"Keep the dogs out the cats den" OH god more code worded crap...

And knowing that you guys are most-likely over 25 I expect it.

Common Courtesy: noun. : politeness that people can usually be expected to show.
