When you get picked as a contestant for that said game show, and decide not to go (even though you placed in the top 10 out of 100,000 auditions) becaue you wont have the free time to log in.
When all of the above applies even though you could buy some cents and use Evony vacation time.
When all of the above applies and you dont want to go wherever - even after you win 10,000 cents on the wheel.
When you are in the U.S. Armed forces, and your unit gets called up - but you decide to go AWOL - not because you object to going and fighting in a real war - but because that will take time out from your game (even though you won 10,000 cents on 10 lucky spins.)
When that arrest you for desertion in the real army and send you to Federal prison -- but hey its one of those "country club prisons" and you have permission to play the game from the prison library 12 hours a day (and you spend some of your game cents on truce the other 12 hours).
When your game cents run out - so you and your fellow inmates plan a real prison riot ...
When someone invents "real time travel" and tells you that you could go back in time and get out of this mess - but you would have to go back to the 13th century or so -- so you say why not!
When you arrive in the 13th century - thinking how great it would be to become a Lord over most of Europe -- but then get killed by a real Pikeman. But hey -- at least that avoids causing a time travel paradox, which of course would have put you into a different game altogether.
