I forgot the original list, so I'm starting to make up some new ones.
1. You plant shinobis in all of your neighbor's yards and homes.
2. If you go to visit for tea, you plant shinobis in the yards of your neighbor's neighbors as well, so they won't reinforce and surprise you.
3. You try to sneak up on someone wearing a lampshade.
4. Whenever you see a bunch of trees, you send someone else ahead to investigate them.
5. You will not go to work unless the weather is favorable.
6. But you're not always sure what would constitute favorable weather, unless you know what you and all your coworkers are wearing that day. -

Subconciously don't you....
-say "oh $hit...." when you see a geisha house in an enemy province?
Actually, I said "oh @#%$!" out loud when I merely saw a legendary tea house, knowing the Geisha house was soon to follow. I stomped the province flat like a crazy woman stepping on a roach. -

Actually listened to you advisor.
Found yourself having a dialog with the advisor in the throne room about long term strategy.
Put off lunch or dinner because "Oh, I'm hungry, but I *really* need to take care of this bridge attack first!"
Decide to put the game language in Japanese, even when your command of the language is limited to "Sumi-ma-sen", "dozo yorishku", and a few rote snippets from Macross videos and Malice Mizer records. --Oh wait: "bakka". I'm familiar with that one.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol -->

Get pissed because the game locks up just as the Dutch arrive, but then here the voice loop locked up in a sing-songy "villyum of oranj and qvee-villyum of oranj and qvee" and start laughing uncontrollably for several minutes.
Get pissed at Imagawa because he sent back your emmisary's head when you offered him peace after letting him take Shinano for pete's sake, and he keeps sending those damn ninjas which just killed one of your rank #2 generals, so you start gunning for him, working to take him out west and east even though this exposes you to Takeda and Oda.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :evil -->
