I'm working on a card game, though I want to get the rules straight before I try making them.
I'm wondering if addicts (or oddicts, I like that) are proper fans. In medical terms, an "addict" is someone who cannot stop doing or using something. Sometimes this is because (in the case of smoking) your body settles into the condition where nicotine is present, and then cannot function properly without it. In the case of food, drugs and stuff, the body becomes used to, almost "immune" to the effect- so not eas much dopamine and endorphins (the reward and feel good hormones) are released, so you need more. The upshot of this is that an Oddworld Addict doesn't enjoy Oddworld as much as the rest of us, so has to play more in order to get the same thrill.
Oddiction, on the other hand, has no medical term, so stick with that to apply to hardcore fans. Be an Oddict, but steer clear of Addiction.
Hmm. I have just realised that I'm a total nerd.
