I feel like I've got no life, for I missed Civ2 so much in my holidays...
(BTW, Lord Grey, LARA CROFT IS A DIRTY *****!
And, btw, at least 4 of my classmates are fellow civ2 addicts)

Let's ignore the fact that some of these figures are outdated.Building on CyberShy's solid work but adding 6 years for Ming, using 45 years for Rah and 40 for mindseye we currently have a total of 1424 years as reported by 44 Apolytoners. Average is approx 32 years and 4 months. Up or down? Carolus |

They can't be too outdated - the thread is less than a year old. At worst you can raise the average by 1 year for the pre-june entries. anyway, this 30 year old settler (30.7) has restarted civing on holidays, and remembers a day when people were impressed that he could hold his own on diety *wonders when he gets to graduate to chieftan* |

ROTFLMAO... so true, so true!But if you look at the age FAQ in the apolyton forum, you will see a much younger crowd. And I just find that interesting since most of us did come to this site because we are gamers. There really shouldn't be that much of a difference. |

Sorry guys, only just seen this thread - must admit that the title stopped me from opening it ... Let's wreck the average - I'm 52 and SG2 is 51 - if my horrible daughter climbs on-board as she keeps threatening she will correct the ballance with her 14.
  and yes - it is interesting that the average on this forum is so much (a factor 2?) higher than the overall as evidenced by the Age FAQ. and going back about 30 posts - I resent the implication that I'm an adult just cos I'm old, gray and knackered doesn't stop me being a big kid. ------------------

I'm new to this site (and feel like I'm new to the game when I read some of the amazing strategy tips) but have been playing for about 5 years. I'll be 30 in August...I'd rather play a game than hang out in bars like most of my friends. I figure I'll save $ in the long run...especially after my girlfriend moves out!!!!!
Nice to know I'm "about average".....
Always had my suspicions.

Hello!
Average up!
As of now (27. June, 23:13 o'clock ) I am 41 years, 5 months, 26 days, 17 hours and 3 minutes old.
That's easy, I was born on 01.01.1959 at 06:10 o'clock. Fidel Castro marched into Havanna at that day.
