Nice guide! I did exactly what you did back in grade 6 or 7 (skipped soccer practice and played like 8-9 hours a day) when I was addicted to SC and my dad hid my SC cd. Something that worked for me was alt tabbing to a word document with random garbage on it and hiding my task bar. and of course having the textbook nearby :D | ||

And once you're out of school they'll most likely remove your restictions or lessen them a lot, and you'll hopefully be mature enough to know when it's game time and when it's work time. Instead you have to deceive them because they're "dictators"???? Not to mention how little they'd trust you when they find out what you're up to. Starcraft isn't worth broken relationships with your parents. HAHAHA Really? I've actually met some draconian parents that want their kid to do NOTHING but study even though they make straight A's. There are actually people out there that put such ridiculous restrictions on their children and then fully expect them to never rebel against it. Let's be honest here. Most parents are fairly certain their teenager disobeys them on a routine basis. It's a fact of life you know? Not all parents are shining examples of parenting and while I know that teenagers can be incredibly whiny, don't take just one side of the story. | ||

Starcraft isn't worth broken relationships with your parents. my parents and i have a "decent" relationship up to my point, i've always done what i wanted because i know my limits, and whats best for myself. Never have i done anything that I can recall on the top of my head that i've regretted. I believe parents are there to give you suggestions on what you should do or not, its up to you to make the decision to listen to them or not, and for my case, i did not and i'm doing just fine.  | ||

You also need to read between the lines a little. No one gets to B on iccup without playing and analysing alot. I have a feeling that the OP plays too much for his parents liking and that's why they impose all the restrictions. Instead, of the OP had been more moderate in the amount of gaming (e.g. playing only on weekends or holidays), none of it would've happened. I would've had a moderate amount of respect if the OP stuck to his principles but was willing to work for it. Instead, he lived under his parents roof and deceived them. If he moved out and supported himself - then he can do the things he want because he is standing on his on two feet. In the end of the day, everyone makes their own choices in life. It's very easy to say "i'm fine" when experiencing a very sheltered and trouble free life. | ||

Draconian parents or whatnot, deceiving your parents is very poor. No parent is perfect but unless you are supporting yourself, you should abide by your parents rules. If you don't like it, you should move out and stand on your own two feet. It's very easy to be critical while living a sheltered life. | ||

Happily for me my dad was the one that kinda got me into "gaming" when i was like 6 or 7... tho he kinda sucks now and he doesn't play anymore due to... idk its like "old" ppl kinda forget what its nice to do in life, he used to go to LAN with his friends ( when internet was 1/4 a salary expensive here and non could afford it ) to play CS AOE...etc. It felt really good to beat him at AOE and mortal kimbat when i was 8 or 9 after 2 years of "practice". Also sneaking is something that you can do if you know your parents wouldn't allow you otherwise but you can try comforting them if they are reasonable ppl imo.I managed to do so 4 years ago when i was playing wow ( when the game was actually good ) to convince them to let me stay up til 1-2 to raid. | ||

Believe it or not parents generally have legit reasons for limiting or preventing gaming. You seem to forget that gaming is not a right, it's a priveledge. I know my parents limited my gaming time because if they didn't I'd play way too much and my life now would be much worse. If you have the self control to moderate your own gaming then it's not a problem but most kids don't have that self control, hence parental limitations. | ||

It's very easy to say "i'm fine" when experiencing a very sheltered and trouble free life. Has it occurred to you that just because you may have had reasonable parents not everyone else does? There are some situations where there is simply nothing you can do. No one grows up doing clandestine shit like this for kicks, it happens for a reason. Sure, I love my parents, I'll support them when they're old, and I understand why they are the way they are, but the simple truth is that every time I've tried to have a heart-to-heart conversation with them over the last decade I have regretted it. Every time. We simply do not speak the same language. I was about to rant a bit more but I decided against it. Let's just say that the single most important thing (I might even say the only thing) that I have learned in my household is when to give up and leave it at that. I can not recall a single time that I have regretted breaking my parents' rules, either for my sake or theirs. Being sheltered has nothing to do with it. | ||
