RL Question: How old are you & What do you do

[Polish_13]

My dad introduced me to Civ 4 when I was 8, and I've been playing ever since (I'm 13). I have a copy of 5, but my computer can't handle it.

Since this thread started almost 9 years ago, some of those early voters might shift to later age brackets if they are still playing.
I didn't notice it 6 years ago.

52 next Tuesday. I'm a civil engineer, currently sitting in a pickup truck watching other guys work.

In my own defense, it is rather boring.

I'm now thinking about Sopranos...

Lol I'm 16 feel so young here. Parents bought me civ iv when i was like 10 and it was the most confusing thing i'd ever done, but now I'm getting the hang of it.

What bothers me the most is that I've jumped age ranges since I last posted on this thread and it's like a freaking time capsule, a glimpse back to when Civ IV S&T was super active and I was stringing out 3+ posted games a week here sometimes.

I can say I was playing Civ before you were born , and it's actually true. FFS, that's terrifying.

But whatever. To update this thread I'm 32 now and working full time rather than in college. I still have mixed feelings about that .

I can still APM spam people in simultaneous turns, though .

I'll be 44 by the end of the year. Judging by the poll I've been civing longer than half the forum members have been alive. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad. Been playing since the early days of civ2. Feels like a lifetime ago. When I look to the not too distant future I hope computers can still play this dinosaur of a game civ4.

Aye, aye. Some good old timers in this thread - budweiser, Lemon Merchant, RRRaskolnikov to name a few. I think Lemon Merchant's still active?

Old timer?!?! I'm not that old.

I'm still active, but I only post in modding related threads. I got tired of being beaten up.

45, Former psych nurse, now a behavioral psychologist.

It appears that I have voted on this poll at some point.. I do not have any idea when and poll doesn't tell me what I've chosen

Safe to say I think I've moved at least one(or most likely two) brackets up!

 

[Lennier]

Your vote will be itallicized above.
