Another grizzled veteran at 48....

[Tarkus]

Jesus...at 46, am I really in the 97th percentile in this group??!!??

So many of you on this board, probably having never experienced the combination of sheer joy and anguish of you and your buddies moving stacks of die-cut cardboard squads, commanders and support units across a hexagonal grid on a card table in your basement, surrounded by reams of unit stats cards, piles of multi-colored dice, and dictionary-sized rulebooks...we've come a long, long way...

But I love the fact that I can use this forum to learn so much about classical history from folks who are my kids' age!! Glad to be a part of it...

[Strategos Alexandros]

Dammit, I'm still only one of two people my age
I ain't posting mine until the other person does

[Primative1]

Tarkus - ah, the good old days.

[Hax]

...why have two people voted "over 90"?

[Centurio Nixalsverdrus]

...why have two people voted "over 90"?

It is the hidden "Gah!"-option.

[brymht]

30 even. recalc

All you have to do is flip those votes! Under 10 it is!

44

Dang, I was fixing computer bugs before many of you were born. What a depressing feeling.

[Reverend Joe]

I'm reaching the age where I have to take a second to think about how old I am.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

22.

Either I'm getting old already, or I have brain damage from drinking far too much hard liquor.

[azzbaz]

..16..

[chenkai11]

why does the poll have the option of "over 90" in the first place?

[LusitanianWolf]

Latin numbers are easy. i dare you to post it in ancient Greek numbers.

Hehehe, no I dont understand nothing about greek numbers but google is our friend...

For those too lazy to go look for it: 19

[Caveira]

17! Though I started playing EB when I was 15 or 16

[Jolt]

It is the hidden "Gah!"-option.

Shouldn't it had been the "Self-Auto-BANZ!!!1" Option?

[Spartan198]

I'm 24 at the moment of this posting.

Haha, three people actually voted over 90!!!

Why is that depressing???????

[russia almighty]

Did you just post the sign for an imaginary number, and an angle measurement?

[Starforge]

I think those polls should not be misinterpreted; people of 40-60 don't have the habit of playing computer games (indeed most of them don't know how to use computers...).

Probably, in the future much more people of 30-60 will play computer games (and EB is a very serious game, which means historians, archaeologist and philologist would enjoy it). Now only the new generations (ok, let's include people under 35) have the habit of playing them.

44 in a few days and I beg to differ. Been playing computer games (as well as making it my career) since I had my Apple 2e at 13 or so. Ultima and 5 1/4 floppies ftw! :)

Another Squad Leader or Avalon Hill fan in general I presume? :)

[Reno Melitensis]

is Maltese for old similar to Qadeem in arabic? no just kidding, you're not.

but what is maltaese for that? (too curious)
I hope that didn't come out wrong

'Qadim' in maltese is used to describe old thinqs, for example, an old chair = siggu qadim. For people we use 'xih', an old man, or we say 'ghandu hafna zmien', ghandu=he has, hafna=many, zmien=years.

Cheers.

Alexander had conquered the world by the time he was my age. I haven't even conquered my own house: "A man's house is his castle" - HA!

A word of advice to the young men: drink and fight and get laid and smoke ... cigarettes and generally have as much fun as you possibly can - while you're in your teens and early- and mid-20's.

Sometime around age 26-28, you'll sense that something has changed. Then - and only then - should you settle down with a good woman (or man, if that's your thing), and act responsibly.

Be comforted Count Belisarius. I'm 24 and well on way for not even having my own house by that age ;).

[Mediteran]

That sounds funny. I always thought Maltese was a romance language. But it sounds rather semitic now.
