Smart teachers and intelligent librarian exist : Turner_727 met some! Who once declared that video games were bad, all video games? That Sid's old magic (and why not to associate Briggs' RoN to it) should be used extensively as a fantastic pedagogical tool for History, Economics and many other topics. So this thread will get on for ever : you would begin to play from the first grade until your very end:die:Originally posted by Turner_727
He gets special treatment there from some of the teachers. The librarian, his teacher, and another one, I don't remember who, lets him do things that other fifth graders don't. He's a big history buff, and has been reading high school level history books for about two years now. RoN and Civ kinda tie into history, so instead of being jerks about it, they encourage it. I have seen him hold his own against a high school magnet honor roll student when talking history. So fortunately for him, his teachers see this and encourage it.

This thread has been going on for too long. I think it's because it's still being advertised on the homepage.

New folks might still want to tell us a little about themselves.

Age 54.

Absotively right Padma! This poll is relevent to all users, and since Civ Fanatics is still allowing new members, we latecomers should be allowed a chance to add our input.
Having said that, I started playing unnumbered Civ in 1991 -- the year after I got out of the military. Being female, I won't reveal my age (and don't bother looking at my profile, I declined to answer most of the questions). I've played all Civ versions and add-ons up to, but not including, PTW. No C3C ... yet. I did not add PTW because I heard (read) a lot of griping about its bugginess.
Another interesting thread might be "What do you do for a living?" or maybe "What are your days dedicated to?" to be fair to the school-aged and retired among us. Maybe I'll start that thread. I'd like to know what paths my fellow addicts have chosen (without having to click on every Profile button).

Could someone recreate this topic..?
Oh, the irony that here it is a year later in General Discussions. This is the second post in the thread.Originally posted by Shillen
This will probably get moved to off-topic.
