    Addicted to caffeine already. I'm sorry to say so mate but that officially makes you old.

    Thats what I was trying to say. Some days I feel young and full of energy, and others (like today unfortunatly) I felt worn out and had a massive headache from the lack of coffee. Oh well, I'm too addicted to quit, besides, coffee tastes just marvelous.

And thank to all of your experts for helping me in this addicting little hobby!

    By the way -- my brother turned me on to RTW a couple of years ago...and he's now 56. Old farts can play games too...
    It's addicting i agree. My dad id 52 and he can't learn any of these games(ok he probaly could but he has no time)

    Well, I dont drink alcohol, so I think coffee is a great drug of choice instead. I know that If i tried, I could quit, (I went a week with no caffiene) its just that I really like the way coffee tastes.

    Of course it is the taste...

    @Grandpa Tarkus: Yes, that was I was getting from Atraphoenix too. What he says is just sad, really really sad.

    I think that the biggest change that comes with age is time! (Inverse relationship). The rest is either in one's head or simply 'up to you'.

    I simply hate that foul bitter taste that coffee has.

    And I also detest the taste of cheap alcohol, I only like the good stuff, so even if I wanted to drink enough to become addicted(which I don't think I ever would) I wouldn't be able to afford to

    Any who, back on topic, it seems that late teens, early 20's is the largest area so far.

    Only 56 take part on this so far. I think it is a bit early to speak about trends. And I'm 19, still very young in my opinion. Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

    Fifteen years old, in 11th grade. Absolutely no time for EB though. Since the end of Winter Break, I have played about 10 hours of EB. This whole summer I will be taking summer classes and Internet school for extra credits.

    P.S. Notice the impeccable bell curve

    Sixteen years of age, finishing up my 11th year, turning seventeen in July.

    I'm rather ashamed to say that despite taking numerous difficult classes (2 A.P. courses and a few other Honors classes), I still manage to play about 2 hours of EB every weekday. On weekends, I manage about 4 to 5 hours. Don't take this as a statement of arrogance, though. Rarely do I get more than 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night due to my habits.

    Umm, what grades do you have and what is the level of your school? I have community service, SAT, 2 AP, 2 DE classes (Dual-Enrolment, basically AP without the AP test, giving you a college credit upon passing of the class). And my GPA is 4.8 something. Which is going to rise after I take my summer school at the local college as well as after some Internet classes. Oh, and my school is a highly, selective, "A" school, which is public, but entirely privately funded. It is also a technical school, with numerous career fields to choose from.

    4.8 GPA? Strange, straight A's get only a 4.0 here. I have 4.07 (two A+) as a junior (11th grade) in high school. I also do some work for my local soccer association, along with getting paid as a referee on Saturdays (excellent money to be gotten here). I decided to skip on the dual-enrollment since although I can drive, my mother doesn't want me going anywhere by myself just yet. Plus, I'm not sure the university I plan on enrolling in would allow me to transfer those credits.

    My school is simply a public school, though it can boast being the second largest (in terms of size, not students) in the state. The teachers are well-qualified, but the switch to a trimester schedule this year drove most of us insane. Idiotic administration...

    If you take extra honours, AP, or DE classes, Frontline1944, then the .025 GPA will be added from each class to your overall GPA. I have met students with 5.1 GPA. Nothing special.

    I have 2 AP classes and 1 Honors. Only 4.07, and that's because I have a few A+ currently. My school doesn't compensate for more rigorous classes, apparently.

    Okay, perhaps you can tell me how my GPA should be in reality?

    AP Chemistry - 96%
    AP Gov - 96%
    Spanish III - 97%
    Honors Precalculus - 100%
    Literature and Society - 103%

    4.75?

    Our school is a little different. We only offer AP/Honors, none of that other stuff you described. And the grades are weighted so A=5 points B=4 C=3 D/F don't get a weight. Meaning that if you took 6 AP classes for 4 years, and got A's in all of them you would have a 5.0. Also we don't weight based on + or -, it's just letter grade. That would explain why your GPA appears so high to me lol, because our Valedictorian has a 4.35. I have like a 4.01 or .02

    Also our school is now implementing the idiotic idea of taking the AP test as a requirement for the inflated GPA, meaning that the students are basically paying 85$ for their grade (which is more ridiculous now as most UCs require a GPA of over 4 to get in)

    I'm at university in Britain and we have a completely different system to your GPA. Each uni (and department generally) can choose how the marking is done (exams, coursework/essays etc) and at the end you get a degree. This is classified either as an ordinary (very few people get this - in fact my uni would chuck me out if I got this grade in my upcoming frst year exams) or with honours (3rd class is bottom, then you have 2:2 lower second, 2:1 upper second and the best is a first class). They are talking about changing this as it is a bit illiogical at times (I mean why on earth do you need an upper second and lower second?).

    Man with no name, looks like your on your own in the youngest category there. I got RTW a couple of months after release and I was older than that then (although only just)...
