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.

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...

Are you in the SCA? (If you don't know what that is, then you aren't in it)

49 today. And still looking for the top of the hill. If I don't get there soon, I'll have to turn around and go back the way I came.

I was a member of the kingdom of Ynesfore. I was in it for awhile, mostly because a friend was in it. I was a bit insecure and shy back then and hung around my friend. ALthough I found the whole idea entertaining I didn't get on too well with the others. They had an overly romantic view of the middle ages I thought. I once mentioned the Crusades and Knights fighting Muslims, and their response was along the lines of "Oh we try avoid bits like that". I never did get into fighting (mostly because of the cost of armour), but I do have a shield, and some greaves.
