20, and (oddly enough) very close to 90 days to being 21. July 12 for me.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

39, and getting ready to purchase lots of black candles and skulls for my 40th.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

You can *buy* the skulls?

*dogscoff guiltily tries to hide a bloody axe behind his back.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

That gave me a good chuckle!

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

37, as of two days ago. Bleh.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

The "mid-thirties" seem to be leading it uncontested.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Probably because all the hypercaffeinated teenagers are off playing RTSes, while we old codgers ruminate over a single turn for an hour http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

In another hobby area I paint miniatures, and I've found that most younger people don't have the patience for competitive painting... Some of the best results take many small steps, and I felt that what I lacked in raw talent I made up for in approach and determination.

I think that turn based games, especially complex ones, appeal to the more mature crowd for the same reason: Older folks are more patient and prefer to chew on things for a while.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Hey, I've been playing Turn Based strategy since... well, before Starcraft came out. Since my very first computer access, so call in 1995. When I was ten.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Not all of us http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I've been playing Turn Based Strategy's since I was 12 (I'm now 17). Not all teenagers are vacuous fools http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I was only referring to the twitchy, ADD-afflicted subset of teenagers, not teenagers as a whole. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Of course, when I was a teenager, there were no such things as RTSes (and games were loaded from cassettes! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif)

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Heh, since said subset accounts for about 90% of teenagers, I'd say you're right on the money! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Yes, interesting. I was wondering what the heck my generation was doing (well, ok, I really wasn't wondering, but,,,,,)? Playing turn based strategy games it seems. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Hey, I fell into the hyper-excited ADDH RTS / FPS crowd! I just like TBS too http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I play pretty much anything if it's interesting. (Although sports games and abstract strategy are rather low on that list)

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

<---- addicted to racing games like Dirt to Daytona, NASCAR-2005, Burnout-2, etc.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

18 years old, as of 12:45 this morning. Old enough to know how young I am.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I turned 50 lsast September.
I still do tech support.
Now I spend equal time among N scale trains, women and EDEE, (a 4x world conquest game and successor to Empire Deluxe).

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Bump for the new people, also would be nice to make this a sticky, a very informative thread

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I think that there are enough sticky topics already.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Hi, I'm a 17 years old student from Norway.. I discovered Space Empires IV a few months back, and I've been spending every waking hour 'playing it since that day. ( I've actually got the game running on my second monitor as we speak.. :0 )Hum, what else is there to say?.. Ah, yeah.. I'm currently playing my first game of PBW and loving every second of it.

Sticky? Now that would be a prime symbol.

Im 49 and looking forward to all my mid-life crisis gifts next year. Fast cars, young girls, and coupons to try dangerous sports.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Lets see, let me add up all the years. Hmmm??? I am 1,125 years old.

Actually Im 16, from what I am seeing I might be the youngest one here, but I am to lazy to read more then 3 pages back.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Happy B-Day tesco.

I'm 27 for a couple months yet. Had to think about it for a minute. Been playing SE since I found SEII on a demo disk in the late 90's. Also like RPG's and most other games that you can play in creative ways.

I guess I am 36 if my math is correct. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif On the fast down slop to the big 40 and the end of life.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I lost track at 25, and I think that was last year. let's see... 1979 take away, no um, 2005 minus 1979 plus 5 months...er...

now you know why i use spreadsheets.

Starting next week I'll be working in a financial aid office for a private college. My math skills will be much better by then, i hope.

Oh, and I'm newly married (I think that was back in 2004 as well).

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I'll be 28 in 6 days. Not that it matters after 21 though, but then I sat in bars since I was 18, so that was not too big a deal for me. I prefer to celebrate other peoples birthdays.

time to once again return this one to the front for all those new to the forum

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

I turned 19 three days ago.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Since some have been asking, I found this old post, maybe will help

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Wasn't there originally a poll results bar graph for ages on page one of this thread?

Nevermind. It's on the other thread. This one is much older.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

ya there was an old poll on this topic, I just never searched for it. But this one will show info on various members, its out of date somewhat as to ages, but it gives a fair idea

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

well turning 36 on the 19th http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Thats 6 posts on shrapnel about it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

Are you seeking attention to your 36th birthday? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I might as well update my age while I'm here...I turned 21 last month.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
 

We get older every day... If we're lucky.

32 this year (September).

I want to break 4 hours in the marathon before I turn 35.
