I stopped playing while drunk because it was just stupid and wasn't even that fun. I love to play when I'm high though.

Playing drunk is awesome when you're still beating down b.net pubbers and nub friends to a pulp while you can't even sit straight...heh.

I used to take adderall so I could read faster, I read somewhere around a thousand words a minute (in a book , not computer screen) regularly after my speeding reading classes and lots of practice (compre around 80%) Well I almost closed in on 2 thousand words per minute for a 3 hour and a half period. I read over 35 books that month. I became grossly addicted and now 4 years later, I still have to drink between 2 and 8 cups of coffee a day to feel almost as awake as normal people. Burning out is a bad thing, fuck the retard who takes it one farther and uses speed aka adderal to play better broodwar ... wtf?

hehe. I have to agree. Unless one has a starleague grand final on the line, I would definitely think it unwise to take any kind of prescription med so trivially. Long term use has been shown to cause dependency, so...yeah.

I posed the question out of a hypothetical curiosity. As much as I love SC, both the competitive pro scene and playing it myself, I really don't think it would be worth going through the hassle and pain in the wallet to continue to continually acquire some. It's not worth it when all I have on the line on iccup is my pride.

Adderall + SC is fun. I've taken Adderall and played SC a few times. It's pretty intense, you really get into the game and try like a mofo. APM is usually in my upper ranger if not +20 extra.

People with ADD or ADHD sometimes cut down on their dosages and sell some of their stuff is what i've heard. There are probably lots of other ways to get it too.

Oh yea, I beat one pro gamer, 1 international gamer and won 40 games in a row in 1 day on adderal.

Okay, so I am missing the whole "drugs are bad" lesson from this. hmm, TL definitely doesn't belong on any of the Truth commercials.
Edit: To those wondering where to get it, have a younger sibling with ADD. Personally, my girlfriend has ADD and takes Aderal as a prescription, I would never fuck around with it but thats just me. If you go to college you can probably find it relatively easily. Just ask around a little bit and I am sure you can find someone who is selling them.

I believe this has already been discussed several times..I do know everyone reacts differently to speed but in my case I can't sit behind a pc while "high" unless im high off pain/anxiety pills or THC...I really don't think it's much cheating b/c either way it comes back to the other player and the skills they have IMO. Well thats my .2 cents.

Got 2 friends with scripts that usually gives me em for free or for like a bit of weed. So pretty much free but i havnt done the stuff in like 7-8 months or so, great drug if not abused. Mix of coke and E, can get pretty intense and cause your eyes to shake if you take a little to much. You also wont sleep or eat that day.

To everyone who asked how to get it...I will be brief and ambiguous, as I don't know what TL's policies are concerning information on actually acquiring things illegally...

The only way in the US to legally acquire prescription meds such as Adderall or Ritalin is to get a prescription from a certified psychiatrist.

To obtain it any other way is illegal, and so would have to be acquired by the same means you would acquire any other controlled substance. I'll let you fill in the rest yourselves.

Just to clarify...there is no longer such a thing as ADD. Some time ago (I think it's been nearly ten years now), they combined ADD and ADHD into one disorder: ADHD. The acronym remains Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but they have developed different variations of ADHD that you can be diagnosed with.

ADD no longer exists.

adderal would almost certainly make you play better

doing it to improve your play unless you happen to already be like a progamer would be pretty ridiculous tho, there _are_ side effects. ;p

I played SC on acid once. I started the game just fine, it felt like everything was coming together perfectly and I was going to win. Then all of the sudden he attacks me and I notice I have gone 3 gate goon against a Zerg... I also like to play Terran when i am really really stoned, I just wall in and build wraiths or some cheesy shit.

This raises an interesting question, do KeSPA have rules against Adderall and even caffeine? Sometimes after drinking coca cola I can play a bit faster and react quicker (mainly for counter strike before a clan war) lol. anyone got any ideas?

Find a friend that has ADD and ask him. Or go to a doctor and convince him you have really bad ADD.

I don't think it's clever to use drugs for Starcraft. Even if it helps you can't use it forever!

I've taken a bit of adderall over these last 2 and a 1/2 weeks to do papers and while I really only played once while on it (cuz i was writing papers for like 12 hours straight the other times ;p) and everything was much easier to manage. Base macro was better and my brain would plan things out in advance in greater detail.

A couple of the better players I know have used ritalin, adderall, or some other sort of speed to go from C+ level to B+ level permanently.

I don't believe this.
I seriously don't.

First off, you would either have to improve your build orders, timing, and so many other things to make that large a shift. Your hand speed and micro doesn't increase by popping a pill or two.
