Speaking of being around for some time, would someone be kind enough to rate me. Someone, I know who but I won�t name them, rated me a one over an argument we had and I would like to bring my average back up. Thanks

Thanks for the rating boost.

Ah, back to the original purpose of this thread...

I'm 16 years old, young by most standards. Currently in high school in a tiny town called Fort Fraser in British Columbia, Canada. Been playing SE in one form or another for about 4 years. (a long time) I'm pretty much a newbie to this forum, so bear with me

I'm pretty sure I posted in this thread before, but it would have been a while back and I'm pushing LC anyway.

I'm 27, been bouncing around the IT industry for the Last couple years, just happy to have a job. If anyone can hook my up with some steady IT employment or additional roommates (I have three empty rooms) in the Colorado Springs area I'd be much obliged.

Mid 40's, Electrical Engineer living in Thailand, working in Kazkhstan. Started playing wargames (figures / Boards) in the early 70's. What more can I say?

Darn, I thought I'd get a brownie point for making 500 Posts. How many Posts do I have to make now to get promoted to 1st lt?

I know I've mentioned this quite a few Posts ago, but I'm 41 and have been dabbling in wargames both on the computer & real-life for about 20 years (but mostly on the computer). Also have played AD&D (or whatever it's called nowadays) for about the same amount of time. I work for the State of Florida, although I was originally born & raised in Oklahoma. Joined the Air Force, and when I got out, my wife wanted to be close to her parents, and I got to tell you, Florida is a whole better place to be than Oklahoma, especially during the winter.

I am afraid you will be promoted First Lieutenant when you reach the 600 Posts mark. (Hmm, this post of mine wasn't exactly the most useful ever. *Shrugs*)

bump for the new folks that have been showing up here since the Last patch.

Welcome aboard. I have posted here a few times before, but might as well do so again. Im 25, a career 'geek', and have been playing this thing for about four years now. Im actually pretty friendly, even though I pretend not to be.
