So it took another 8 months since I started this thread for me to truly get out. I came back quietly after a couple of months. Checked the forums to see what was happening.  Then it started again. Waking up early to make sure I had time to play before my family got up and caught me. Playing in the bathroom. Getting made fun of. Planning around it. All kinds of justifications. All sorts of shit a grown man should be embarrassed about. Wow. Never again.

Slowly I got sucked back in. Thanks to @optimuspig to revive my own words. Thanks to @pcguru for the real “business strategy” of rovio and exient. And thanks to two real game hackers (@lemongrab and @datguygamer). The evidence of cheating SO evident. Never answering questions that are unanswerable. Screenshots carefully cropped but still somehow with levels like 1364 amd accessories with levels over 300. Or new characters at level 25 within hours after release. Whatever. We know that the game, no matter how many gems you have, even if you were the benefactor of the gem glitch years ago, could explain. Some things are time locked or connected to competition token exchanges or just simply not possible, Sure, its frustrating. Seeing impossible things… Actually, i will say to the true game hacks, good work. You helped push me out. I will never compete. Truly. On any of the three levels i intend in that statement.

It doesnt matter. It is unregulated gambling. With my TIME. The most valuable thing i have. So fist time shame on you and second time shame on me. This is shame on me.

This time I burned it all out. No gems left. That was the “condition of my reentry” last time. When my gems were gone so would I be. Then i changed strategies. Preserving my precious winnings. Built up over 3.5 years.

Burned them all tonight. Tonight was the last and final straw. I will look back and call these the Angry Birds years. My kids will too. And that folks makes me happy. It will be a look back. Not a current source of making fun of me.

It was fun from time to time. Now its time to do something with those 2 hours a day.

My best to all. Be wary. Watch for addiction behavior. If you are wondering, then yeah, that qualifies. @angrlee out.
