Too Old to play

[SmartJock2112]

I'm 18

I want to know who voted for the under 10 catagory and how many of them are 0

There were a couple of them earlier. But when I have kids (many years from now, as I am only 18), they'll start out at 0 ; I need to start corrupting the next generation as soon as possible. On the other hand, if I turn them onto Civ to early, I may never get them to do any chores

Edit: Isn't that the most beautiful bell curve you've ever seen?

There is no such thing as too old.

Unless you're 90 and wanting to skydive.

Why is 90 too old to skydive? If you think about it, when you jump out of a plane that's I-don't-know-how-many feet above the ground, it's kinda of scary (well, at least for me ). What are you afraid of? Well, it's because you're afraid something will go wrong and you will die, right? You're afraid you lose your life. If you're in your twenties, that's a lot of life left, but if you're 90, you really don't have that much to lose. That said, it's great to see such a varity of ages on this forum

I must be 5000 years old, I am in 1000AD!!

 

[Desertsnow]

LOL! I swear I feel 5000 years old sometimes.

definitely nice to see there's such a variety on the posters' age.

 

[Pounder]

A lot of people who voted in this pole are now two years older, which may skew the results a bit.

30 is cool, but 66!!!
damn, im 16 and I play prolly a couple times a week.
I just feel once you reach a certain age, that you should be devoting your free time to something moire important

It's fun to see a 16 yrs old boy lecturing grown up adults on how they should spend their free time

IMO, in Civ3 you're never too old. Strategy games force you into thinking, reasoning, calculating... this is generally good exercise for every mind, and expecially for the elders. The same could be said for the sudoku games, just to make a further example.

I just set my oldest grandson up with Civ3/PTW in an account on my computer (Conquests s experiencing problems on my PC, lately ). He has been watching me play, and now he wants to try, too.

(I looked at his first attempt at lunch, to day. Chieftain, Americans, Archipelego, MapSize=??. I would have built 6 - 8 cities on his starting island. He had, 2. Built another Settler, and put him on a galley, sailing around the other reachable islands (already filled with French & Ottoman cities). He had ONE Worker, busy Roading all the tiles of his island, including those he didn't control. Washington was building the Oracle, and New York the Pyramids. :shakehead)

 

[SmartJock2112]

That's kind of how I started playing Civ 1 all those years ago . There's no substitute for experience though, he'll figure it out.

Its consuming my life slowly and surely

What! You're telling me that 0 year olds are playing Civ3! You've got to be kidding me!

And yes, about the curve... I thought that too

I saw on the birthday lists, someone was turning 4! I looked in the profile and his birthyear was 2001 . Starting civ this early, he will one day be the master.

That's how I play; what's wrong with this ?

I just noticed that my vote (cast a couple of years ago) is now in the wrong cathegory (21-30) While I'm 31 ATM. There must be more of us around who voted early and upgraded their age since.

 

[Hygro]

Rik, I was 15 when I voted in this poll. But I was smart enough to vote the 16-20 option

I'm 18 now.

(actually the poll's name indicated me to vote for the group I believed mainly played civ, not the demographic that included me)

True, but it is nice to see that people are interested in thier fellow civ addicts

I don't play Civ III but I voted anyway. I first played Civilization (I) when I was thirteen. Now I'm twenty-six (twenty-seven in three days ).
