To old, with not enough time to play the damn game! I have more time to read the board than play the game.

Dracus · #3 March 30th, 2001, 02:38 AM

I do computer support for a major tech company. I work 12 hours a day. Read the Boards at work, play the game at home.
let's just say I am older then you are.

I'm 36 years old, sales manager, grognard wargamer since 1980 (Avalon Hill's Squad Leader and Tobruk), me too without enough time to play.

I am in that 30s range (started wargaming w/ Avalon Hill and Victory Games - still play Ambush!), also work too much (50-60 a week), and also read Boards at work, mod/play at home when my wife permits

Like many so far:

Late 30's
Systems Engineer / Network Analyst
Read Boards at work / play at home when family / wife permits
Mostly play turn-based games : SE4, SMAC

I'm 36 and I'm a network administrator for a federal contracting company (work in DC). I don't normally post here, just lurk. Informative bunch you all are. I've just started with SEIV Gold, though I've had it for a while. Work keeps getting in the way of my PC gaming, dang it!!

Hello, welcome to the forum.

Wizarc · #9 March 25th, 2005, 04:07 AM

Yeah, just turned 36, have been away from SEIV for a couple of years. Just lurking usually. Believe my first post was in this thread a millenium ago.

SEIV has always been my favorite game. I am going to start playing again.

Looking at the number of posts I do I dont post enough. I am going to have to follow narf poit chez BOOM lead...he is a great poster...

I'm almost 36 (this coming June). I'm currently an out of work IT guy (ie: non-corp, or company), who does IT work on the side as much as I can. This 'free' time allows me to help out my mother (62), who previously had a triple bypass almost 2 years ago (June), and on Dec 24th, she slipped on some ice on the front walkway of the house(of the one day we get snow and ice and such in El Paso for the year), and ended up cracking her knee-cap in half. They wired it back together, so I have to currently drive her too and from rehab 3-4 days a week. This is a very similar routine after her bypass surgery, plus due to bad joints, and bones and such it also makes it difficult for her to drive on a regular basis...so I am the chauffeur of choice. Anyway enough dribble...this of course leave me plenty of time to check email, websurf, play a few games here and there, get hit with sticks in armor, and build wood furniture...

So what does all this mean...I am rip roaring ready to be on the SEV beta test team...
