Real life questions to get to know each other

[Izipo]

And you cannot imagine how pleased I am by this

Welcome Diamondeye.

I had Civ1 too, does that makes me the man, too ?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

Wow... the dead are rising. Splime is back, and I caught a glimps of cvlowe in the FFH forums

 

[Diamondeye]

If the dead are rising, be sure to bring a Life II mage with your stack

15 and living in Northern Virginia (about 30 minute drive from DC). DC people claims that Northern Virginia is like, a different country, by the way.

I suck at being important people in NotW. I will get better though mwaha.

I am planning on a NOTW too.

 

[mythmonster2]

I already posted, but eh, I've changed a little. 14, still live in Sugar Land (Suburb of Houston), am 6 ft, goin to 10th grade. I can play Civ 3 on Noble and only play Civ 4 for Fall From Heaven, the normal game just sucks.

 

[oyzar]

I am surprised at how young most people here are. Younger than the general civ4 demographics at least.

 

[Pinman]

Well, ive moved up a demographic since I answered that poll if it helps.

Not sure if I've posted here before, and if I had it was a long time ago so here goes:

I'm 17, and I live in the Uk (That's a part of Europe for all you Americans out there ). I have no idea when or why or how I came to this forum as I didn't even play Civilisation (Yeah, that's a S!) at the time. Still, never left the place since. My first NOTW was NOTW 13 I think, the one that Nero's Fire ran all those years ago, in which I was a Doctor who I think was also some kind of Inquisitor or something. A short time after I ran my first (disastrous) NOTW, although you have to admit the name was pretty cool. Been in every NOTW since I came here.

I rarely, rarely play civilisation, and when I do I play RFC, or occassionally FFH although I've gone off that mod lately. Vaguely thinking about going back to the plain old game to see how hard I get thrashed at multiplayer. Other then that I don't really play video games of any sort, especially boring Call of Duty types.

I speak English, un petit peu de francais (that's probably not right, but I can ask for a cup of tea! Hah!), and I'm also trying to learn Esperanto - Mi estas bella hundon!

I best follow the crowd and post my info.

30, i have 2 children, wife, house etc. living very near to Stonehenge in England (UK), played civ for years since playing on the playstation after a rather messy weekend. Own all the Civ titles. I can beat settler easily. Work as a Project Engineer on various projects.

Found my way here via Renata and Niklas from the might Team Cavalieros forum.

Like KingMorgan, I'm 30 and live in England. Unlike KM, I don't have any kids and I'm not married, though I have lived with my gf for almost a decade now.

I used to be a full-time musician, but these days I work as a teaching assistant in a high school, which I plan to do for another year before becoming a teacher (ideally politics and philosophy, but more likely history). I still play a hell of a lot of music - mostly as a bassist - and have five bands on the go at present.

As for civ, I've been playing since the original came out on the trusty ol' Commodore Amiga some eighteen years ago, and I've played every incarnation since then. Civ4 was the first one I played with any degree of seriousness, and by the time I got tired of the intense micro, I could usually sneak a win on Immortal. Nowadays I tend to stick to Emperor, which is much easier on the brain.

I'd never participated in any forum games before CCRunner put me onto NotW, but I'm a massive Agatha Christie fan, and the basic elements of a NotW game struck me as similar to those found in a Poirot or Miss Marple story. When I get around to hosting my own NotW, you can be sure it'll borrow a few ideas from the Queen of Crime.

 

[Renata]

Woo! I should have an advantage then; I devoured those books. Of course, that was a long time ago ...

I'm in my 30s, married with a two year old son who is cuteness personified -- just ask his father. We live in the outer suburbs of New York City, with a cat and a small vegetable garden that is finally getting around to producing the odd vegetable after the awful spring/early summer we had. I used to be an analytical chemist, but have been home with my son since he was born, and as a result know more about Play-doh and the Backyardigans than I ever thought I would.

I've been playing CIV since the original version, same as several of you, but never went above the easiest level until I wound up here a couple of years after Civ 3 came out. I don't remember exactly what brought me to forum games -- random wandering, IIRC. But in any case, Niklas saw me lurking about, pointed me at NOTW, and that was all she wrote.

My time in forum games is most likely limited -- I'll have to go back to work eventually! But I intend to enjoy it while it lasts.

 

[Sprig]

I'm 25, and am a Kiwi. I work in Economic Development which means effectively means I don't do very much.

I grew up with all the civ games and am a huge X-Com (Ufo: Enemy Unknown) fan

Originally signed up to grab some civ 3 mods and then use to lurk around here now and then. I got caught by FFH mod and the stories thread. And dimondeyes siggy lured me here

 

[Izipo]

Awesome, my plan worked like a charm.
Thanks for introducing yourselves guys (and gal), really appreciate it.

What has changed since my first post ?
My time here is becoming limited because of different factors, mostly a heavier workload and a new life partner. I'm 36 now, still divorced and not ready to remarry, but we have to juggle with 4 kids aged from 2 to 8. It's fun, but a bit tiring at times. I'm really looking forward to the holidays, I can tell you.
I still have a NotW (named Armageddon) in my head somewhere, but realistically I don't think I'll ever have the time to run it efficiently. On the other hand, a quick diplo-strategy could be doable. My initial rules were also lost in the database crash (such a shame!), and for some reason I can't find them in my various computers. So, if anyone has the rules from Dip II (or III), feel free to send me a PM.

Cheers.

Looks like I voted in the poll but didn't post in the thread.
I'm still in the same age group.
Mostly I post in spam games; For a while Forum Games was the only reason I stuck around at CFC although I'm a bit more active in Civ3 currently. Still more of a lurker really.

 

[Ekolite]

On the other hand, a quick diplo-strategy could be doable.

That'd be awesome.

 

[Seon]

Detective stories?

My NotW will require YOU to be a detective

 

[Zack]

I lied about my age in the poll. I'm really only three. I still wear diapers.

 

[oyzar]

I am a young male with brown hair pale complexion and glasses..

I am a young male with brown hair pale complexion and glasses..

For some reason, I imagine this could fit most people here,especially the pale complexion part Except maybe the glasses, I don't imagine any of you with glasses really
