Thread: The oldest RTW player.
Who is the oldest RTW (online) player ?
I had known one polish player named Hactor that was 45 years old.

Quite a few of the clan leaders are middle-aged, I believe.

interesting Question Diego, though I can't think of an answer...I do know we have some older people here at the org. Though I don't know how old they come in MP.

I've had a faction leader that was 63. And several older cheiftains and generals. Oddly these sometimes have younger wives.. Like this guy. Granted he's not too old, but check out hi wife's age. I don't know if I approve of that.
Hey - why assume anybody over the age of 30 can't use a computer - some of us were playing games on the PC when some of you were sparkles in the milkman's eye!! I am 52 an avid MTW/VI fan who will get RTW when I am bored with MTW - probably 12 - 18 months time. I haven't played online yet, but have recently got broadband at home so I might have a go. Like many older MTW fans, I used to play with wargame figures about 20 years ago - in fact I had reached UK national championship level - but that petered out when other things came along - like getting married! - but things like MTW enable me to indulge again - and I can see me playing it in 20 years time. My next challenge is to get my 7 year old son interested, but getting him off Sonic the Hedgehog is difficult
Err, Im 13 and I'm always the youngest player wherever I go 
Playing TW games since I was 10 (I think), and getting BI for christmas.

You mean 42 years young. i'm 42 year old
I am 55 in 2 weeks. There are a few older than I. And we have registered members who are 10 years old. The last couple of surveys showed an average age of Org members being about 25-27 years old.

I remember one girl here (I want to say her name is Lisa) who's 10-11; she had requested help on how to beat her dad online because he always crushed her with hordes of Byz Infantry. So don't worry, you're definitely not the youngest here....you whippersnapper.
(I'm 29, by the way.)[EDIT]: Okay, so she plays Medieval, not Rome. But the principle still holds....
Many old players is in XXI Rapax - i know one who got 54 years and some a bit younger.

suprised in his traits it dosen't have rapist (-7 influence):san_angry
my grandad is 76 and has had 2 week snap at it (TW GAMES NOT RAPING)
48, 52 & 55??? So you mean I'm not the only overgrown kid playing in this sandbox?! ... Darn!!! 
There is no way to succesfully beat Byz infantry...They are unstoppable
But what bothers me is that theres noone of my age, with decent intelligence. Not to brag or anything, but most people think im 19-30 before I reveal my age. People my age that I met online are well....Mentally retarded basically. Saying "Your gay" every other sentence and curse words every other word.

And he is still younger than me. A while back I saw a new member introducing himself at the age of 65 and he´d just retired and I thought, what a nice retirement plan - counquer the world!

I know Gawain is active with MTW mp and he's in his 50s..
Me, I'm 33...

I remember playing the game of Risk quite a bit as a young teenager. Then when my friends and I finally got bored with it, I embarked on a huge project to build a bigger and better map. The end result was a map that was about 48" x 60" and had practically every country on it from the modern world. We used combined game pieces from 3 different game sets in order to have enough armies to fill the map. I remember it taking two to three weeks for us to finish just one game. And when we combined it with the ability to draw up written alliances and treaties with one another... well... the game could potentially last for weeks on end!
Aaaaah... those were the days. To be a kid again with so much free time on one's hands. But now I'm all grown up.

Hehe! Sounds like my and my highschool friends back in 1980-82. We got an old world map from school we could use that was some 4,5-3m. and we glued it to plywood and made eight legs to support it. Then we made lead-soldiers, with paint and all, incorporated a huge amount of new rules to the game - even naval warfare. Every land in the world had soldiers and two or more human players compete for world domination. Boy, thoose dices were running hot!I remember playing the game of Risk quite a bit as a young teenager.

Then why did you allow him to marry her? After all, she is part of your family while he wasn't until his marriage.I've had a faction leader that was 63. And several older cheiftains and generals.

At university we used to play Diplomacy of a lunch time - used to go on for weeks - people would be caught in a corner plotting and it would all go quiet when you came in - and if you stabbed somebody in the back, a grudge would be held for months - it wasn't unknown for people to fight their way across europe to get revenge. We then went on to a superb SPI game called a Mighty Fortress which was set during the reformation. Any game which involved military conflict, missonaries and burning at the stake has to be good fun!!!I remember playing the game of Risk quite a bit as a young teenager.

First post. 57 and new to the game. Been a politics-history-game addict all my life, but R:TW is about the best game I've come across.
Nonsense; Medieval is much better than Rome. 
Seriously, though, welcome to the Org, rpg48!

32 years or 24 years old depending on what age system you use.
When I joined I was about 2 or 3 years younger then average here... the medium age has decreased about the same pace as I have increase my age.

[activates sucking-up mode] Well since you're pretty much a god here on this site anyway, your age doesn't really matter, does it?
[de-activates sucking-up mode] So you're actually a few years older than me, Pap? Weird; for some reason I thought you were my age.
