Another useless thread...

OK.

I know that geofelt is 60 or 61 years old, Adam Smith ca 42 or 43 and Ming just below 40 (you figure Rah's age out

).

There's a lot of new members now so let's do this again. How old are you?

I'm 29.

Good Lord - 33! But it was only yesterday I was bopping to Frankie Goes to Hollywood ... oh - I see what you mean

Paul · August 21, 1999, 08:56

I'll be 27 on monday.

Sten Sture · August 22, 1999, 02:21

34, but I had to stop and do the math. BTW the Ming/rah collective is north of 40. c45?

Carolus Rex · August 22, 1999, 08:57

I must be the real baby - only 21 (and about 3 months)!

Jean Paul · August 22, 1999, 14:15

I'm Sixteen. Am I a baby or what.

John-SJ · August 23, 1999, 00:48

OK, I'm 46, so how come I'm still a "Junior" Civer? ;-)

Happy birthday, Paul!

25. Didn't realise everyone else was so old!

Carolus Rex · August 24, 1999, 00:52

16?!

Jean Paul, I guess your parents have installed a net nanny on your machine

What is a net nanny. Is it one of the stupid stuff that supposedly limit what children can see on the net when they can see it either on tv or elsewhere. By the way I consider it an offence to say that one of 16 is a child. I smoke, drink go to parties and discos (the government is trying to discourage me not to). I don't see these bluff because i've seen them when I was 13 on tv.

Sieve Too · August 24, 1999, 13:32

If you can see on TV all the sick and disgusting kinds of things that you can find on the net then... I want the name of your cable provider!

Carolus Rex · August 24, 1999, 14:29

Jean Paul, I was only kidding. That's what the two

are for.

And now (with my best morale voice), quit smoking! In 50 years you'll thank me

Well, I'm glad to see so many peers! I'm 36 but the real MASTER Civer in my house is my nine year-old son! (to the tune of Pinball Wizard) "...never reads the manual, ignors the High Council, no worries with the Vikings he's got the Great Wall, always gets the Goodies, never seen him fail, that bad boy o'mine sure plays a mean CIV 2!!"

33 here.
I thought I was the oldest after ming/rah. Now I feel almost young again!
I haven't introduced my kid, age 8, to Civ2. My next project might be to translate the game files for her? And install it on one of her own two PCs (one desktop, one laptop).

mzilikazi · August 25, 1999, 05:10

Good idea to ask... I though you were all students; otherwise how can you have the time for Civ???

I'm 25, and sadly not a student.

Carolus Rex · August 25, 1999, 05:34

MacUser,

Buy MP to your son, I need to pick up a few tricks!!!

Carolus

MacUser · August 25, 1999, 07:35

Actually, we bought MPG for Mac a month or two ago (my son begged me into it for the scenarios) ! Now that the Mac patch is available, hopefully you'll see both of us playing on the net!

I'm think living much more than 70 is no use. What fun living in a wheel-chair does it give (perhaps playing civ20 or what number will it be at that time !) I have plenty of time to play civ2 as I'm unemployed. How much do you play civ2 per day

DieHardGamer · August 25, 1999, 21:29

I'm a young civer in my prime - 32.

My three-year-old son asked me to buy Worms2 for him today. Of course I directed him to the backyard where he can get all the worms he wants for free.

John Paul, thank you for your refreshing perspective. It reminds me of when I was sixteen and I believed that parting, drinking and smoking were the hallmarks of maturity.

Sten Sture · August 26, 1999, 18:52

jimm - Go Cal!

I work down by Lake Merritt. (feeding pigeons)

My knees aren't much better. Maybe 125 yrs.

jimm · August 26, 1999, 19:41

Once the knees break 100, it's all pretty much the same. Ack! time to go back to work.

DARTH KRAFTER · August 26, 1999, 20:46

I am 26 years old. I personally cannot wait for retirement, so my civII sessions are no longer interrupted by annoyances such as work.

Carolus Rex · August 26, 1999, 21:41

So far the average age of the Apolytoner lies between 31 and 32.

Going up or down?

Carolus

Mark von Wagner · August 27, 1999, 01:20

Down. I'm 19
