Tell us about yourself!

I am Belgian, 38, married, 2 daughters (7 and 4). Lawyer and technical analyst in an Italian company. Basically I'm a WW2 wargamer (able to argue for hours about the real accuracy of the M1 Bazooka using a M6A3 rocket, or the exact number of HMG used on paper by a German Volksgrenadier Company). You see what I mean...
I mostly played Squad Leader, then the Steel Panthers serie. Played AD&D when I was student.
I was also hooked by Colonization in 1993 and played more and more 4X games since then (esp. EU and EU2). Wrapped up in dom1 since March 2002. Eventually I compiled on freewebz all informations I could find on usenet and other forums.

Im not suprised that all the 30-years-old Grognards are here...
Im suprised that there are some people here who are not 30-years-old Grognards...

Nothing bad about being about a 30-years-old Grognard, because i plan to be one too...
I'll be like Uncle-PDF when i grow up!

hi there

i'm 23, computer science student in switzerland. i am a dominions addict for more than a year now, but i only recently ordered the full game.

the first computer game i played was 'dark castle' for the good ol' mac plus (if i remember right). from there i switched to the strategy genre (civilization, dune, command & conquer, warcraft, master of orion 1 & 2). besides dominions, i'm currently playing "heroes of might & magic 3" and "sid meiers alpha centauri".

my favourite operating system is debian gnu/linux (www.debian.org); but now and then i prefer to boot into ETH Oberon (www.oberon.ethz.ch).

besides studying, coding and gaming i play trombone and enjoy a really good time with my girlfriend.

well, i guess that's it for the moment.

cheers

segfault.

Hello,

I am 40, live in Seattle, WA, USA.

I am an accountant but an avid climber and kayaker.

I love strategy/wargames (Uncommon Valor, JA2, Warlords), some RPG's (Gothic, Ultimas) and dabble in other genres occasionally (OOTP4, Sam & Max.)

My whole life philosophy is: maximize your pleasures in life, minimize your pains.

Looking forward to Dom2!

James.
