[Byzantine Prince]

[Byzantine Prince]

Of course you've seen it. Every forum on the net has one of these. They are somewhat interesting statistically.

True - sad thing is, I seem to have to add a year each time I answer in one of these threads...

The last time I replied to an identical thread, I was 29. That's bound to become outdated in 7 months.

[Hetman_Koronny]

I am 25 and unlike dessa14 I don't think girls smell ~;)

~:cheers:

[Byzantine Prince]

Girls usually smell good. Well... better then men anyways. ~:handball:

[King Edward]

23, however the punishment i put my body through by playing contact sports then getting drunk (or somethime the other way round!) i look more like 43 ~:eek:

[Lazul]

21, and i dont want to be any older! YOU HEAR THAT GOD! I dont want to be Any Older!!!

aw, what am I on about, I dont even believe in god.... :bow:

[The Tuffen]

I'm 21 and will be 22 in march.

edit:
lazul: i know how you feel, I don't want to be any older.

[Byzantine Prince]

I was so depressed my 18th birthday I couldn't even have a party. I just didn't want one. Celebrating gettign old? WTF? I hate getting old. It f$cking sucks. I'm gonna start eating ultra healthy from now on and sleep less. I heard sleeping less makes you age slower. Is that true or am I wasting my energy?

What do you guys think??

[The Tuffen]

Why would you want to sleep less???

I'm always trying to stay asleep and try very hard not to get up before 12 - looks at watch damn not even 12 yet.

I know how you feel about getting older. At least on my 18th i could drink legally - was great knowing i didn't have to worry bout going up to the bar and getting refused service cos of my age

[Byzantine Prince]

I said because I suspect it makes you age slower.

[Mount Suribachi]

18. Mount Suribachi I though you were at least 45.

LOL ~D

I'm curious as to why you thought I was at least 45... :book:

[discovery1]

I associate you with the likes of Dave and Gawain, who are that old.

[Redleg]

39 years young

[frogbeastegg]

21, 22 in less than a month, and finally beginning to feel my age instead of a decade older.

[Beirut]

I was so depressed my 18th birthday I couldn't even have a party. I just didn't want one. Celebrating gettign old? WTF? I hate getting old. It f$cking sucks.


That's not entirely true.

Having lived a mentally promiscuous youth, I can attest to the glories of multi-day parties, astrological acid trips, live concerts, lazing about, and the endless, joyful, and often destructive quest for knowledge of new things. It really was great.

But there are benefits to getting older, the best, perhaps, being appreciation. There are many things you are simply not equipped to appreciate at 18 that blossom in great delight when you are a bit older. You still have a lot of fun, it's simply different fun. And your level of individuality and self-responsibility grow as well. You become... more you. And it's nice to be able to talk to someone you've known for twenty five years and still trust completely.

And of course there are the women. :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: When I was 24 I had a 35 year old girlfriend. When I was 36 I had a 19 year old girlfriend. Now I'm 41 and I have a 35 year old girlfriend again. It's great!

And when an 18 year old kid walks into our log yard asking for work, believe me, he's looking at all the guys in their 30s and 40s wondering if he'll be able to keep up. You get older, you get tougher. Trust me, it ain't so bad. ~;)

[Gawain of Orkeny]

I associate you with the likes of Dave and Gawain, who are that old.

I dont think Dave is that old and as for me oh to be 45 again Im 57.

[nokhor]

30.

and beginning to wait for the other recurring threads of 'what do you look like?' and 'where do you live?''

and i just wanna know how many others share my birthday of mar 18th? there's gotta be at least a couple others at the org.

[Mount Suribachi]

I associate you with the likes of Dave and Gawain, who are that old.

LOL, I think Dave is still in his 20s and gawain is MUCH older than me ~D

Now I'm wondering why you associate me with a USAF guy and a Vietnam vet - both yanks :help:

[Byzantine Prince]

"Having lived a mentally promiscuous youth, I can attest to the glories of multi-day parties, astrological acid trips, live concerts, lazing about, and the endless, joyful, and often destructive quest for knowledge of new things. It really was great."

Well things always seem better when you look back at them. But if you had to relive them you'de realize that they are not so great. Plus i hardely think acid trips are good.

"But there are benefits to getting older, the best, perhaps, being appreciation. There are many things you are simply not equipped to appreciate at 18 that blossom in great delight when you are a bit older. You still have a lot of fun, it's simply different fun. And your level of individuality and self-responsibility grow as well. You become... more you. "

What are you not equiped with? I am very mature and therefore "appreciative". Getting older in age doesn't mean you get more mature. I've seen 80 year olds who still act and talk like 15 year olds about women.

"And it's nice to be able to talk to someone you've known for twenty five years and still trust completely."

You can never trust anyone completely.

"And of course there are the women. When I was 24 I had a 35 year old girlfriend. When I was 36 I had a 19 year old girlfriend. Now I'm 41 and I have a 35 year old girlfriend again. It's great!"

Well I am very different. I only want one girl that I love and then im getting married. I guess I just have very different views from you.

[LittleGrizzly]

I was so depressed my 18th birthday I couldn't even have a party. I just didn't want one. Celebrating gettign old? WTF? I hate getting old. It f$cking sucks.

couldn't agree more, bar alcohol being legal but i drink less now its legal for me.

and i just wanna know how many others share my birthday of mar 18th? there's gotta be at least a couple others at the org.

pretty close march 30th..

[Tricky Lady]

28. Feeling old between all these youngsters. :baby:

Luckily enough ppl. seem to be older than me. :grin2:

[Templar Knight]

im 18 :bow:

[Beirut]

You can never trust anyone completely.

Well I am very different. I only want one girl that I love and then im getting married. I guess I just have very different views from you.

On the first part, I am delighted to say you are completely wrong. I know several people I would not only trust with my life, but with the lives of my family. And they would trust me with theirs. That's another good thing that with time and age.

For the second part, if you have the intestinal fortitude to pull that off, all the power to you brother. ~:cheers:

[King Edward]

intestinal fortitude

Not a Mick Foley fan are you Beirut? or just a coincidence??

As far as the never trusting someone, i disagree whole heartedly, i have friends id tell anything too and would trust with my life. A real friend can be even closer than any family you have because you chose your friends but you cant pick your family. If you dont have that BP then you are missing out on a lot in life. admittedly you risk getting stung but the pros far out wey the cons.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

You can never trust anyone completely.


If you live your life by that, you must be a very unfullfilled person. Total and complete trust is one of the most important parts of a relationship with anyone, be it friend or family.

[Gregoshi]

The math says I'm 45, but I don't believe it.~:)

[discovery1]

Now I'm wondering why you associate me with a USAF guy and a Vietnam vet - both yanks :help:

Maybe you and Gawain argued on the same side of an issue once when I was new here which would be a year and a half ago. That's what i'm thinking anyway.

[Byzantine Prince]

For the second part, if you have the intestinal fortitude to pull that off, all the power to you brother. ~:cheers:

I hope so. I'm looking hard to find the perfect person. I'm going to college next year. I hope i have some great luck.

About the trust thing, I actually trust some people but what i really meant was you cannot trust people to be who you want them to be. People change with time.

[LittleGrizzly]

If you live your life by that, you must be a very unfullfilled person. Total and complete trust is one of the most important parts of a relationship with anyone, be it friend or family.

In experience ive learnt i can trust certain people with certain things but theres other areas they cant be trusted. So theres no-one i completely trust and it doesn't leave me unfullfilled, just wary.

[Divine Wind]

22 here.

[Tachikaze]

I am 25 and unlike dessa14 I don't think girls smell ~;)

~:cheers:
Most girls smell unless they have inhaled too much cocaine.

I am about midway between Redleg and Gregoshi in age.

[Mikeus Caesar]

13 going on 30. Or at least that's what my friends say, because i read the broadsheet newspapers, and the first thing i do when i get home from school is watch the news.

[Medieval Assassin]

15 today! I started playing when Shogun first came out... How many years ago was that...5?

[LittleGrizzly]

happy Birthday, 4 years ago shogun came out, i think.

I think you'd better join us in the backroom then...if you don't mind talking to some very potentially partisan people there. I'm a bit like you except I don't watch the new, I dislike most of what's on TV these days., I read the economist and www.bbc.co.uk instead

[Lemur]

I also read the Economist, but I've sort of given up on the backroom. Everybody seems pretty well entrenched in their partisanship; not a whole lot of what anybody could call "dialogue" with a straight face.

Thirty-six here. Married with children and all of that.

[ShaiHulud]

55. Would've answered sooner but deriving such calculations from my sundial is laborius. No, I don't know who put Stonehenge up. Yes, Moses really had three stone tablets, just as Mel Brooks portrayed it. ~D

[Ser Clegane]

Welcome back to the Tavern, Shai ~:wave:

You haven't been around here for quite some time...

[Colovion]

today is my 21st birthday

[Blodrast]

woo, then Happy Birthday, Colovion !
~:cheers:

[Togakure]

I'm 25.

Plus 16; 17 in a few days.

Cool thing is, I don't look (so I am told) or feel to be as old as I am. Youth is a state of mind anyway. I know teenagers who are much more venerable than I am.

Only age thing that's been on my nerves of late are the increasing strands of gray in my hair. There was a time when I was "they guy with the cool long hair" to all the ladies on the job and in the 'hood. But that was a while ago. Lately I've been keeping it fairly short, and today I had a tizzy fit, took my beard trimmer and SHAVED IT ALL OFF!! Now I look like a cross between the Black Flag guy with his squarish glasses and an Asian monk (or cancer victim). I like it, it's a nice change, and reduces primping time by 50%. Now my e-mail monicker fits me (funkymonk).

Tis a bit cold tho ... need to find me a cool hat for the winter now.

~:cheers: Cheers Beirut! We are born in the same year. Capricorn and Year of the Tiger here!

[Colovion]

woo, then Happy Birthday, Colovion !

Thankyou, Blodrast.

[LittleGrizzly]

Happy 21st, the age i properly consider adult.

[Tachikaze]

Happy 21st, the age i properly consider adult.
I don't think I became an adult until the age of 50, and I am still not there yet.

By the way, Grizzly, RC and Pepsi are better.

[Sigurd]

32 and in my prime.
Never been wiser, stonger or *cough* healthier.

well physically anyway, good to keep a bit of child in you as you get older, helps keep you young.

Coca cola just about beats pepsi for me, if pepsis a little bit cheaper ill usually go for it instead. RC ? haven't heard of it, might not be in the UK

[Shadow]

I am 17 turning 18 next April :charge:

Can't wait for 29th April to arrive so I don't really understand why people will be depressed on their 18th birthday at least alcohol is legal and you can watch M18 movies in the cinemas (Alexander :furious3: )

[Fragony]

El Fragony is 27. Haven't played in a while though, MTW is getting old and my computer is coughing up blood so no Rome for now. But in a few months I will buy a nuclair powered ubercomputer that should be able to handle everything for at least a year or two (yeah right). Untill then PRAISE THE GAMECUBE!

[YAKOBU]

37 and wondering if I will be playing Total War when I am in an old peoples home :charge: .

[spmetla]

I'm 20 right now.

Dang it, I leave for a few months and everyone's using my avatar. Now I need to find a new one.

[Sensei Warrior]

30 soon to be 31. Which reminds me... must apply arthritic ointment to major joints. BRB

[Don Corleone]

I'm 34, will be 35 on May 2nd. For all the real old timers on here, I was actually born in the midst of the Kent State Riots. My grandparents thought my mom was just upset about all of that for the first hour or two. ~:)

Getting old has it's ups and downs. I wouldn't mind 'being' bald, but getting there sucks (with little wispy tufts here and there). I don't mind grey at all, but I don't have too much of it yet.

The only thing I really dislike about my age is that I'm now starting to experience the law of diminishing returns in exercising at the gym. I work out more now than I ever did, and while I'm actually at higher maximums then I was when I played rugby in college, I just can't seem to get stuff to tone up, and the belly is just too proud to retreat!

[Ayachuco]

I'm 15 but in TW years I'm 7

[TonyJ]

34 years young and born on a most auspicious date: 23.55 Samhain Eve

Blood Roses anyone ~;)

[Goofball]

I dont think Dave is that old and as for me oh to be 45 again Im 57.
Gawain = Old Fart

Hehe...

~D

I'm 34.

[_Martyr_]

18 here, will be 19 on 17th March. ~:)

[KafirChobee]

Gah! Am Gawain's age. Gah! But, I am much wiser, we both had similar experiences, but I grew, while he stagnated back in the USMC ideas of the '60's. J/K of course.

I miss the comradery of STW, over MTW - and the advent of RTW has pretty much killed the continuance of maintaining old rivalries and friendships. Clans worth a hoot are dying. In STW we all respected one another - maybe it was the attitude of the game - honor first. Or, maybe it was a matter of earning respect - and that there were those willing to drop their knowledge (some of it) on newbs. Or, maybe we always see the good old days as being the best. For me, STW days were great days. Win or lose, we all remained friends. Some of us still do.
~:cheers:

[Byzantine Prince]

Yes it's very true how we romantisize older times in our lives when in reality it wasn't that great.

I'm only 18 but i already have times which were the best for me. Like the ime between the ages of 3-5 years old.

[Mikeus Caesar]

I'm 15 but in TW years I'm 7

I'm 13 but in TW years i'm 4 months old. I started playing MTW at the end of the summer, when a friend introduced me to it. It was damn good!!! The shortly afterwards came RTW, and just seeing the demo made me determined to get it. 4 months of perpetual bliss..... :smug:

[zelda12]

My daugthers and my son says I am 41 old ?? Can't believe it.

[the Count of Flanders]

25, first grey hairs are starting to show...

[OlafTheBrave]

36 And I just want to point out something to Byazantine Prince. You say you cannot trust anyone totaly and want to marry a one woman and have her for life. Trust me dude that is a major conflict. If you cannot trust your spouse tottaly you will not be married long.

And yes as you get older you appreciate things you did not in your youth.

[hundurinn]

18 next March

[Kaiser of Arabia]

14 years of age.
Although I've gotten served beer on several occasions, by accident, sad thing is I don't like beer.
And in real life I've been told I'm very mature, although I can be a total ass sometimes. Especially when I pay the tab at restaurants and such, I never tip. Unless they're REALLY nice of course. Then they get a good 25-30%.
And I've been playing totalwar for 2 or 3 years, who remembers anyway?

[MrWhipple]

Older than dirt, I had a dinasaur for a pet, When I was a kid everything was in black and white, and I mean everything!
I am 54, got my first seinor citizen discount last week. I am self unemployed (disabled), so RTW and MTW is a part time job for me.

[Ser Clegane]

Gah! Am Gawain's age. Gah! But, I am much wiser, we both had similar experiences, but I grew, while he stagnated back in the USMC ideas of the '60's. J/K of course.

OMG - I think KafirChobee and Gawain are Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!!

(I leave it to everybody's imagination who might be who ~D )
