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

[DoubleCheck]

I'm 16, in high school, and i work below minimum wage a panera bread. a respectable $7.50 hour. I started with Civ 3 about 6 months ago and I got Civ 4 pretty recently. Love it.

 

[Cheeze]

I'm 17, starting at Oregon State University this fall term (I move in 9 days from now)! Going for a computer science degree.

I've been playing since Civ 3, so at least 5 years, off and on.

 

[MadmanAtW]

34, programmer and hobbyist game developer with a math degree. Met Civ I in college and fortunately did not flunk out because of it.

 

[Firewind]

18, unemployed, was a computing/psychology student till recently (odd mix, no?). Found Civ 3 aged 15, loved it, saved up specially to buy Civ 4, and it's one of the few games I haven't discarded at some point.

49 - and for most of the last 25 years I've been a worker chopping a settler.

ahaha, clever terminology.

I am 21, and a tutor.

[bestbrian]

20, studying economics.
I already played civ2 as a very young fellow cheating every game.
Than playing civ3 with quite a passion but not before civ4 I really got into the whole civ series.
But what I really hate is the fact that it seems to be impossible to find someone I personally know and who shares this passion. Is there anybody out there in Saxony? Get in touch know

That's what the forums are for.

Besides, Civ is a smart person's game and you're not going to find many of those in Saxony, you've got to move to Baden Wurtemberg for that (sorry, couldn't resist - I used to live in Stuttgart).

I'm 26 and I work in the Media/Finance.

Started playing Civ I in ~1993 when my dad bought us a spankass 25 Mhz 386 PC

26 - House Wives Favorite (Tree Surgeon in SE England)

Got in to civ with Civ2 but more with 3 and then (suprises) even more with 4. Come on 5!

Edit: Going to be 27 in less than a week so get my cake ready!

Back to work in a month!

 

[Shurdus]

27, working at a lawfirm as a legal consultant.

Played Civ II somewhat but could never get into for a lack of patience. With Civ IV's more smooth interface and more forgiving features I was hooked for good.

 

[Pim]

22, student in the fine arts of history and playing civ for to many years now(mostly civ2(the WW2 scenario) and civ4).

'Bout time.

That last sentence might just be the best thing I've read in a long time.

There's a writing section on the SATs? I think I can say I got a 1600, but I took the damn thing every year from 7th grade and got a 800 math one year and a 800 verbal another year. Least they reported the two 800s to all my colleges.

I'm 30, a venture capitalist you could say in China. Love the food, really love the food.

I played the first civ, then "bought" this one on the street a year ago in china for fifty cents to practice my Chinese. Was slow going until I got back to the US and bought the English version which I never should have done

The writing section was added a few years ago, in 2005 (I think).
