I'm 28 and just got married two months ago. I have a PhD in Physics and am working in the Silicon Valley doing R&D. I've always loved war and strategy based games but have never found a good group of folks to sit down and play with. Me and some buds are playing SEIV via PBEM (one turn a night)--it's been working great. Thanks Malfador for a great game! And thanks to all the Modders for their hard work--we've enjoyed using them in our PBEM games.

I am 35 and I am living in Austria. (you know where the Trapp family is coming from...

)
I am working in the advertising business. My favorite games are good 4x games and roleplay (runequest) if I get enough spare time.

28 - work in manufacturing operations for a major corporation in Greenville, SC. Do a lot of database mining and even some programming. Unlike Kevdog - I got tired of physics before my PhD, I left w/ my masters and got a job. Just didn't feel like being an RA and making Jack for that long. Mariied w/ one kid and one on the way. Former navy guy - surface warfare. Enjoy flyfishing, backpacking, gaming of course, and amatuer robotics.

I'm a 30yr-old sysadmin at a mid-size college (~8k Users) in upstate NY. It's been difficult at work lately, having to swat frosh compsci students' errant final projects off my minis while pondering the optimum BC config to fight off a recent Phong incursion

I haven't played any of the previous Versions of SE, but I'm hooked on this game. It's unlike so many of the other games out today, in that it's not *when* you'll beat the computer, but *if* you'll beat it.

I'm 16. Just busy with school. I can't help feeling pretty young when reading this thread.
