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

[tboner23]

I am 22, currently installing professional audio equipment.
Startd with Civ2 not too long ago. I use a Mac and a friend had accidentally gotten Civ2 for Mac back in the day and gave it to me. I then bought Civ4 and Warlords because I thought I should play the current version. It rocks, but Aspyr keeps crashing my machine. The only thing that does it besides user error.

19, college student in CS
Been playing since Civ II, on and off. I really got back into it this summer since Im at parents house with dialup (aaaah), so I needed a game which does no require internet, hence a lot of CIV now.
I am a software tester/debugger at a biotech firm for the summer, which is pretty boring but pays well enough that I dont complain tooo much

[StuntedAzrael]

Engineer specialist.

I'm 27 and playing the role of a leading software developer in my company. Hence, 2 hammers per turn. Also, I'm pushing my friend to move his ass and start creating his computer game. That's +3 GPP/turn.

21, a PPE undergraduate student from October onwards.

I played Civ since Civ I, when I could hardly understand how to play the game. My favourite leader name was Charlemagne, a testament to my prophetic ability I could play Civ2 much more effectively, where I always called myself Lenin (Stalin was just too morbid for my tastes, and I believe Lenin was a default leader name for Russia) and delighted in making as many T-34s as possible to crush the rest of the world, and running Communism, of course. I also played Civ3, and that's when I started coming to CFC to learn effective strategies.

 

[Jnsen]

I'm 19 years old, and a student when I'm not playing Civ. I've been playing Civilization ever since the first one, although I only recently invested in Civ4, due to me being cheapish, and I have yet to buy Warlords.

 

[yena]

39, Computer Scientist. Playing Civ since 1991.

 

[Indibil]

33, Bookshop Worm. Playing Civ since 92 IIRC about the very same time in which I fell into my other gaming habit (that's ChampMan and lately FM due to the Eidos/SI games split).

 

[beck99an]

25, law student. Played since Civ I (came in a pack with Silent Hunter, Railroad Tycoon, and F117A. All great - civ greatest).

[Dirk1302]

I'm 42 years old and have been hooked on civ1-1V sofar but also on chess and bridge for almost my whole life. It's miraculous that i also have a girlfriend who seems to think i'm ok too. To eat i make progams and quarrel with the others in the office about how things should be done.

 

[The Flame]

I'm 14 and entering early-College (a program where you only have 2 years of highschool and 2 years of College courses with 2 years of College credit). This should be interesting - this program will probably look good on future resumés (hope I spelled that right). I hope to either work in international economics or politics, or something dealing with statistics and information.

I started out with CivIII (can't remember how long ago). I've really gotten into CivIV after it was released. I'm also having fun with python scripting and 3D modelling.
