For some reason, I imagine this could fit most people here,especially the pale complexion partExcept maybe the glasses, I don't imagine any of you with glasses really
I'm blonde.
Guess you could say I'm pale, but it's only because I can't physically tan
. No glasses either.

I'm 21 years old, and a Dutchman. Studying Physics.
Comparing myself to the rest of the people here, I'm pretty new to the Civilization series as a whole. Civilization IV was my first though it managed to hook me in so well that I ended up registering here. I've been playing turn-based games long before though; I've also played a lot of chess, and still teach the kids at the local chess club.
How I got here? The Divine Intervention games are to blame. CCRunner has been recruiting a lot of people there.

I wear glasses... and a bit of a nerd in school. (jerk!)
Cornell! I completely failed at getting a PhD there back in the day. Nice place, though.
I'm a 20 year old Londoner studying Maths. I guess you could say GMT, since I live only a few miles from Greenwich!
I came to this site for the (unmodded) Civ4 content, succession games at first, and then the Hall of Fame and GOTMs, although I've been playing since civ 2.
How did I find Forum Games? I mistyped the address for the GOTM forum, and wound up stuck here.

Well. I've grown much older and more mature in the past years since I posted here the first time. (damn, has it really been that long?)
I'm now 18, a Member of my town's First aid squad, EMT in training (for about 1 more week... then i'm fully qualified to slap a bandaid, oxygen, and backboard on you and drive you to the hospital), and going to Mcgill university (which is in Montreak, QC) in September for History or Anthropology, depending.

I wanna get this going again.

I'm 15, have a couple of pics in the member photos thread, live in Texas, go to school, and I'm not really comfortable sharing my name with a bunch of strangers on the internet.

Not the greatest picture of me by any means, but it's the best I've got. This was taken about 6 months ago, I'm guessing.
I came to CFC when I was searching for a way to get my BtS disc to work with my downloaded version of Civ 4 (totally legal, from Gamestop). Somehow I made my way to the Forum Games and Night of the Werewolves (I probably clicked on a link in someone's signature). I watched the ending of NOTW XXV and eagerly signed up for NOTW XXVI, which was never finished and I got totally raped by Pinman (and relentlessly hounded by oyzar as well, but I didn't tell him nearly as much as I did Pinman). I thought I was so good making deals with Pinman, and I found out that I was hopelessly wrong. I signed up for the next game, but partway through I lost interest and asked to be replaced. I pretty much disappeared from NOTW/Mafia games (I played in ATPG's Chainsaw Gang mafia game sometime in there, but I don't know how I missed out on his awesome Monty Python game, since sign ups started the day after Chainsaw Gang ended. Funnily enough, I don't remember anything about a Monty Python mafia game until somebody mentioned it in the LotR game and I went back and read it... very entertaining). I made my glorious return when Camikaze invited me to play in the Lord of the Rings Mafia, and I'm glad he did. I also signed up for It's A Long Story and I've been a consistent Mafia/NOTW player since, even hosting my own mafia game - which has a sequel in development, by the way, it should be much more awesome than the first. I started the Mafia Information Thread when I was bored one Sunday afternoon, and I've started up another game and plan to participate in Imperium Offtopicum when a new one starts.

I was in the Civ4 Democracy Games (where I met Diamondeye) section before I tired of it and stopped visiting CivFanatics for maybe 3 to 5 months. Thankfully, I came back to the Democracy games and found a link in someone's signature promoting a NotW. There I lurked in CC's Amurite game and have played in every single mafia/NotW/mNotW game since.

I Have no clue how I started here 
But. I am on the NESing forum the most.. only reason I actually stayed on the site . I Think I joined because.. Of The Civ3 Scenario Age of Imperialism. I sometimes go on the Forum Games, Mostly for Iot and What Country is that from

Wow. A lot of young folks. The OT demographic is mostly uni students.
Well, I just turned 18 and am graduating high school in virginia. I will attend Gerogia tech for engineering in the fall and am a big math/science person. I lurked cfc for a while, maybe a year, before joining....my brother probably told me about the site as he lurked but I made an account. I started out playing actually playing civ4 at around monarch, then warlords at emperor, then I could scrounge immortal. I bought BtS when it came out and played it, and used to play all the GOTMs/WOTMs/first two BOTMs. Then I stopped playing. My true love is StarCraft.
So I went to OT and am active there. I mainly make what I think are clever or funny points, and am consistently liberal. I got brought to forum games by Earthling for his Those Darn States game. I have been active since.
I will be hosting SuperVillain-FragileJustice-HP-alidocious: A Mafia Adventure! in July, as I don't have a job and will have plenty of time before going to university. It will be the most awesome game ever. And it is very educational--or at least, every character is well thought through and is very consistent. Most of the characters derive from the literary world. It's nicknames include 20,000 awesomes under the CFC and Dr. Awesome Or: How I learned to stop worrying and Love Mr. Kennigit.
There is a lot of awesome stuff that will happen, and the game has many paths it can go follow: if player x does y, awesome event z will happen. But if he does a, awesome event b will happen. A lot of characters depend on each other, and certain events will happen to trigger certain other awesome events. And the game will use an HP system, unlike other games I have seen at this forum.
Love can vouch for the awesomeness of the upcoming game.
