1. You have ever actively searched for leaky multipolies and know that you won’t need a sponge.
2. You have any part of the Campaign Cartographer color palette memorized...108...110.
3. You regularly and routinely explode things without the slightest hesitation.
4. While planting flowers in your garden, you start from the back and move to the front so the petals overlap properly.
5. You own a family portrait done in Character Artist.
6. You have climbed the highest mountain (with your mouse) and swam the deepest ocean (with your mouse).
7. You moved mountains without breaking a sweat and still remain humble.
8. You know that 'sextant' isn't a dirty word.
9. Copy, Combine, And (Both), Color, Green, Do It! is a completely valid and proper sentence.
10. You have been mistaken for a parapsychologist while discussing entities in public.

I think I qualify!
11. You know the difference between a layer and a sheet AND can explain it.
12. Instead of "Turn on the lights!" you yell "Turn on the effects!"
Guilty of #4!
Have to admit, I am guilty of quite a few of those.
Buttons??? I thought those were just for emergency use in case you wore out the keys on your keyboard... ;-)
15. When rearranging rooms you first draw a map in Dungeon Designer, and add Orcs
16. You buy RPG Boxed Sets just to get the kewl maps
17. You bought your first computer just to run Campaign Cartographer DOS!
16. On eBay.
17. Wow! I still remember the nice adds in Dragon Magazine for CC DOS.
Bravo!
20. You love the "texture" of your wife's new dress.
21. You consider Ikea as an excellent source of new symbols.
22. You maniacally look for the delete entity and redraw buttons on your remote control when old, ugly politicians appear on television.
23. You've always dreamed of seeing your neighbour's wife naked and think that "hide sheet" is the solution.
26.When traveling down a street you can tell which buildings were created randomly and which were made with the 'House' tool.
27. When visitors to your home ask for directions you email them an .FCW and a link to download the CC viewer.
28. CC3 is always the top of the list of recently opened programs and never falls below second.
29. You have a hard time falling asleep because you worry if your 'sheets' are in the right order
30. You anxiously await the day when your name is in the most active users column on the forum home page.
32. You spend more then an hour a day on the Forums.
33. You happly go through any PF release looking for bugs to report them so that Ralf and Simon can fix them with out complaint about them
34. You start drooling at the thought of a version 3 release.
35. You've put your computer into cpu or memory lock simply by drawing a map as 'detailed' as possible.
36. You have built great cities.... then destroyed them in less then 2 hours.
ohh and of the existing:
1. yes, 2. yes, 3. yes 4. yes, 5. No, 6. yes, 7. yes, 8. yes, 9. yes, 10. no but i have had people look at me weird, 11. yes.. a sheet contains the drawing order from bottom to top and controls the effects of a CC3 project, layers group togeather like objects for easy manipulation and hiding, they may also store certain data types such as when used with CD., 12. No because I tend to use effects at the 'end' to prevent my puters having melt downs while i'm working on a map.. even the 2gig machine tends to 'chug' with some of my maps :P, 13. keys and Buttons yes
PS For those who haven't yet noticed, issue 22 of The Cartographer’s Annual is out ;-)
39. You wouldn't say that you have godlike powers but you would say that gods have cartographer (as well as game master) like powers.
So there really is a symbol sort command? I have some naughty pine trees I'll have to try that on!
