Another useless thread...

EDITED TO: Everyone remember to send your "significant other" flowers, and take them out to dinner; call your mom, send granny a card; take your dog and a tennis ball down to the park! We spend a lot of time playing civ variants, and we need to shut down, take a step back, and look out at the blue blue sky!

It seems I forgot, "restraint of pen and tongue". I beg your pardon.

[Carolus Rex]

Never mind. Maybe I was out of line.

I sure was easy to irritate yesterday, though. Only got 1 hour of sleep due to the very addictive letter combination MP.

Cheers,

I'm 31. Kind of average.

[Robert]

I'm only 21,
though I don't drink,
don't smoke
don't use drugs.

All I do to ruin my life is playing civ till 4 am since all my evil enemies live in the states and I'm from Europe

Though I have to admit that I didn't play a game of civ since Tiberian Sun was released. (now don't kill me)

I just calculated the exact average age:
992 / 31 = 32 exactly.

Well, I did it without a calculator or a notepad since I didn't felt I like I want to get one, so I'm pretty sure it's a wrong calculation ;-)

[Robert]

Ok, since I didn't believe my lazy calculation was right I did it again, but this time I did it more accurate:

==================
              1040
total of 32 records

1040 / 32 = 32,5

Well, my by-heart calculation was 32, so....what's the difference huh ?
ok ok ok, I luckily got that by totally different number, but, result is result.

Anyway, I feel a littly boy.

That seems to make me exactly half as old as the average civer, since I'm 16,25.

[Bertrand du Guesclin]

Never mind

Nice work!

OK, this is very picky of me, but each of the top three on your list is about a year old. I didn't include them since they haven't posted this time.

I also excluded MacUser's son, sorry!

Carolus

[Makeo]

I'm 23.

Now who wants to calculate the average age of the posters who have replied to the exact same thread in the OT.

Might be interesting to compare the age of the OTers and the civ generals

[finbar]

49. Pop that into the calculator and watch the average soar.

Mono Rules!

[unic]

24 years old, student, and despite that, not as much time for civ as I would like.

[mindseye]

Okay let's push that average UP where it belongs! Clock me in at 39.9, kids!

Yes, I did play Pong when it was brand new! And no, that was not on ENIAC.

[Mark von Wagner]

I wrote Pong -- for the TI-86 graphing calculator

[valmont]

32 - does that affect the average at all?

don't smoke, drink or go to parties or discos. guess I'm not very grown up.

perpetual student with no future.

hope to reach 33; maybe have a real job someday. will never retire - will never be able to afford it.

Cam -- yeah, Frankie! Brings back a lot of dorm party memories.
