Never ask a lady her age

I had the nagging suspicion that you were a remarkably talented youth, Shovah, if you'll please forgive the term.

Nice to know I can still read people a bit. Not that you've ever acted in an "immature" way that I've noticed, or in a way that would point to your age-which is to your credit. It's just that you shine brightly, if you take my meaning, more brightly than someone who's been hammered by the world as much as I have expects from an older person, even one to whom the years have been gentle.

P.S. A good case of angsty adolescence will last until you're in your mid-20's.

26 over here (ooo lookie, I fit into KO's demographic!).

I'd also like to state a prediction that DOM fans tend to be more educated that average. What with the immense complexity of the nations and all and the mythology and history thrown in. It's a lot more in depth than just running around killing things.

I HOPE I'll be playing games and whooping it up with I'm in my fifties. That sounds awesome!

Well, if we're not that educated to begin with, we get that way fast. That's part of the game experience, there's so much to learn.

I have to disagree about the education. I've met a number of 4X gamers who know a lot who nevertheless didn't make it through college.

That is, assuming we're talking about a classical education.

I'm 42. It's the answer to life, the universe, and everything you know. So I should be unstoppable in all the MP games.

22 ftw! Planning to finally get my Computer Engineering Degree in a week and a half. Stupid semicoductors...

Sorry. I'm 42 also. I just lost my first MP game but it's not really fair as I lost it during initial empire placement.
*EVERYTHING* around me was forest or swamp--I simply couldn't field that large an army.

Being addicted to 4x games has a way of keeping you from graduating college
