hey, i just wanna know everyones age, especially fat egg, sylvus, taluntain, rakinshu and septic yogurt, my age is 14 by the way.

Mr. Fat Egg has been MIA for some time, so good luck finding that out. Although I think he posted his age somewhere. You can turn up the Search feature of the boards and look through a few dozen of his posts to find it if you wish. ;)

As for me... I'm old enough to drive, drink, smoke and do a few other things potentially hazardous to my health. :cool:

that really doesnt tell us anything cuz the ages differ from country to country, i would assume you are about 40 though.

Ouch.
If you think I'm 40 you must think Sylvus is at least 60 then. Heheheh.

Actually I'm about half as old as you make me. Sylvus is a few years older, obviously. You think he'd have the time to hang around here as much if he couldn't do it while he's supposed to be working? *grin*

i'm 25.

I also am 14.

I'm 15...16 in 3 months.

Talutain 40 WOW! i would say more like 18 or so. i don't know too many 40 year olds that could maintain a website and moderate a forum.

back to the topic at hand. i myself am 27.

[This message has been edited by Wingfoot (edited December 01, 2000).]

I'm 17. what happened to fat egg?

Twenty-seven years of age and getting older.

Syl...

I'm also 27.

Depressing isn't it?

Syl...

Heh, heh... OK to make all you whipper snappers feel better, grampa will now weigh in... 33 in a few days :)

Now I don't feel so bad anymore. Thanks Blackthorne TA! :)

Syl...

I'm only 16. I drive a motorcycle. 50 cc. :)

OK, maybe it's more like a motorbike than a motorcycle. But it's cool. :cool:

Blackthorne made me feel better...I'm ONLY 31!

It's good to see there are a bounch of us in the over 25 club. Now I don't feel so bad. :)

Wingfoot, go read my post carefully again. I said he made me TWICE AS OLD as I am.
In fact I'll be 19 in a few weeks. ;)

Yes, thanks Blackthorne you've made us all feel better... but who's gonna make you feel better?? :)

erm, i think i know what will make him feel better, my dads 55 in two weeks!

I just LOVE being 15! I'm not the youngest and neither am i the oldest! Thank god! I'm not a newbie nor am i an old sage!

so your kinda in the middle, i think i am the youngest, but me no cares.

Hey! Who's feeling bad? If I was feeling down about it, I wouldn't have posted :)

But, thanks for the thought anyway...

its the thought that counts isnt it? it is the thought that counts isnt it? please tell me its the thought that counts, cuz if it isnt then i am gonna have to start buying people presents!!

27

What kinda presents?

the kind that cost money.

Ok...don't mind getting me a few then?

For the record, I'm 16. I don't think age is as important as intelligence; just as long as you act mature enough.

Agreed. It always impresses if you are able to cope with situations in a calm and sensible way.

Hah I beat you all at 13. But then again I lose don't I. Now I'm depressed.

Holy Cow some of you guys are really young!

I'm old enough to know that from now on I'll have to watch my words and attitude more carefully, and yet I'm young enough to still not "act with maturity" sometimes.

Who would've have guessed that I very nearly poisoned the minds of youngsters! :o

Bah! I wish I was 13 in today's day and age.

The 80's sucked ;)

Syl...

What do you mean? The eighties were "Awesome"! What I can remember, anyway... ;)

'And in second place...
In the race to the geriatric ward...
Lord Moeken tipping the scales at 30 years of age!

Second only to Blackthorne TA

So far...

Im 29 and dreading my 30th birthday in January.

Does that mean I'm third closest to old age and the grim reaper at 29 ?

Boon,

Cheer up. 30 isn't really so bad.
You're only as young as you feel or act.
Just think, you can show your kids all your break dance moves you picked up in the 80's.

Hmmm.. my wife keeps telling me I should grow up.

Actually, I think I'm second to Blackthorne...I'm 31! But I have no intention of growing up anytime soon! So I think it's kinda cool, that I'm hanging with the youngsters... ;)

And the 80's wasn't that bad...Well, except for all the florescent bandana's, coca cola t-shirts, and Wham! Okay, maybe they were that bad...

How about 35 and still getting younger..

I cannot be the oldest here or...

Whoohoo! :cool:

I feel much better now! LOL!

as i posted before i am only 27, soon to be 28 in about a month, but what gets me is all this damn grey hair that is sprouting up in my beard and hair. just dont get it. how many of you youngsters out there can say that have grey hair at such a young age. just cant figure it out, i have more grey than my parents.

and yeah the 80's did kinda suck.

I had no idea that you guys were so old. I thought that the wizard and sorcerer were in there 20s but I thought you other guys were teens. I didn't think guys your age played computer games. Hah, you learn something new everyday.

Is there anyone younger than I.(13)

[This message has been edited by Silver Dragon (edited December 21, 2000).]

I will be 20 in april.

It would seem there are more people on the forums here who are 20+ vs some other boards that seem to be littered with younger players.

Happens everywhere as those with the same mind set seem to flock to the same pond. Thankfully, the more mature and well rounded indivudials have kept this place a secret from all the "PALDINS UNITE!" posters found elsewhere.

Syl...

Yes, seems that the protective mythal and all those mantles I've set around & on top of it are still holding. (Thank God!).
From my experience, these forums have the most mature and well-learned user base on the net.
Makes you feel kinda warm and fuzzy inside to think that you've helped to create such an excellent community!
So, thanks to all of you who keep coming back. ;)

After reading this thread, and getting an idea of the age demographics on this board, I can honestly say that the 'younglings' who frequently post here also have some quality material in their posts.

Makes for some fun and interesting (if not a bit sarcastic) exchanges. Keep up the good work guys! :)

I'm 25, i've posted that on other parts of teh sites. wow, how could you think taluntain is 40! ( i read that tiny about me thing you wrote before you changed the graphics on the site ) oh, and wingfoot, i have a bit of gray hairs in my gote and near my ears.

[This message has been edited by The Fat Egg (edited December 21, 2000).]

Wow Egg, I didn't know you've been a fan for so long!
It's been, what, over half a year since I changed the site layout & design. When DID you come to Sorcerer's Place first? Just curios.
So, you're back to the boards now, eh? Finished BG2 yet?

[This message has been edited by Taluntain (edited December 21, 2000).]

ha ha Eggman sportin' the Gote. hey now i don't feel so bad.

I'm 18. Paladins unite!
woohoo

I´ll be 37 in januar, sich...! I was born in one of the best Year for "Brunello di Montalcino" the best italian Wine, and I think people from 1964 are something special!!!???

16

I came here before there were even 200 people i registered about 7 months ago. i even e-mailed you a couple times. yeah i've beaten BG2 but with great difficulty. (and with a strategy guide, i feel so ashamed :(

[This message has been edited by The Fat Egg (edited December 22, 2000).]

That was the trends in the 80's and 90's...but now in the 21st century to come, The new trend is becoming a greebo and/or a goth...NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Damn bastards! Stole my girlfriend they did!

What the hell is a Greebo?????

NO Egg you didn't. man i refuse do believe that The Eggman used a Strategy Guide.

I'm 26. Looks like average (for this forum), to me...

ye wingfoot, it's true. I'm SORRYYYY *sob*

A greebo is someone who listens to heavy metal and rock like mariyln manson, slipknot etc. and wears these bands names on black t-shirts, pull overs etc. These people also dye their hair black, wear black make up, lipstick and/or nailvarnesh...rather sick people with no life ...

heh sniper, you just described my roommate. although as soon as he starts wearing eye make-up, i'm going to begin to worry. anyways, i'm 19 .. will turn 20 in february.

-BHuntR

although the strategy guide i used was the one on this site.

Then you are forgiven, my son. :p

thank you, master taluntain.

All I gotta say is I'm gratefull. Here I was worried I was sitting around posting with kids a lot younger than me. Please take no offense by that. Everyone who posts here(with a couple of exceptions) posts quality material, young or old. Anyway, nice to know I fall below the median at 23. And by the way, exactly what's wrong with Slipknot. (Man, that might open a can of worms.) Incidently, before you go off on a tangent, I'm perefctly normal otherwise. Well, then again, define normal.

[This message has been edited by Crawl (edited December 25, 2000).]

[This message has been edited by Crawl (edited December 25, 2000).]

Yeah, Slipknot is pretty cool. Did you know they're actually from Des Moines, Iowa? They're pretty good guys, I got invited to one of their pre-tour bashes once. I hope I can catch em in concert next time they're back in town.

oh Egg i'm just given ya ****. i myself have had to use a guide or two in my gaming career, (not for BG2) and i certainly never would pay for one.

I dont know whats wrong with slipknot...just that everyone BUT the greebos say that it is ****! And heck! I dont like the greebos where i come from so i guess thats why i dont like slipknot...Not a fair judgement on them i know but i'm only 15! Oh yeah, to people who like Marilym manson...He is one sick pervert and so are you...Bet your names Bryan as well!

yeah i know you are wingfoot, and i'm assuming just about everyone has used a guide at some point in their lives, the real good gamers are the ones who write the guides, the ones who beat the game without a guide and became good enough to write them, they are the gaming gods, i'm merely a gaming diety :)

it seems that a lot of people have contracted fat egg syndrome ;)

Ok, I probably am at the top with my 38 years and maintaining a website. Dunno Wingfoot, but what has age got to do with maintaining a website?
And as far as gaming guides go, it's good that people use them otherwise all the work that these poor guys put into making them would all be a big waste :).

I'm 15, but I have a goatee that makes me look older

LOL! thats funny. i had one as well thru out high school. it was my "fake I.D."

Myrthos, what i am saying is most of the people i know above the age of 40 don't even have a P.C. that isn't true for everybody i know above that age, but the majority dont own one, or would even think of maintainig a site.

i suppose that comes from the industry i work in. i worked tech support for about 6 months (thank God thats over with) basicaly taking calls from older folks who could not logon to our website, which was usually a chore. as for helping other co-workers with problems i heard this alot "My P.C. is broken i need a new one"... usually in that case the Monitor was unplugged. that happened numerous times and i am dead serious when i say that.

[This message has been edited by Wingfoot (edited December 27, 2000).]

Lol, Wingfoot you've been in tech support! Oh man, that's indeed one job I never want to get into again. I can still hear the words "It doesn't work anymore and I haven't done anything", yeah right.

tell me about it, i have been out for about 5 months now. yeah i have heard that one before too.

when i first started work for my computer company that is where they stuck me for a couple months, kids would always call and say "the graphics are all wierd and stuff", then when i asked what they mean by "wierd" they would sy "like strange", that really happened! and as for older people, "my tv thingy doesn't show any pictures, i want one that works", this also happened, believe it or not!

man Egg that is funny, i am laughing my ass off as i type. "my T.V. thingy doesn't work...."

man, then it would usually turn out that they didn't even turn it on!

LOL! Now that is funny! You must love your job egg!

hey , first of all sniper there is nothing wrong with greebos or goths, that is like saying there is something worng with christians because they pry, i dont really give a **** what peoples preferences are, if i dont like the actual person then i wont be their mate, but if i do like them then i will be their friend no mater what type of person they are, it is not up to you to pass judgement on those who are not the same as you, you have no right whatsoever to call them strange or weird or ****ed up or whatever.
egg man- woooooohooooooo, you say that the people who write guides for the games are gaming gods? that would make me a gaming god of planescape torment, ;)
ther is nothing wrong with useing a guide, we have all done it at certain times...

(i my self am a minor goth, i am not biest towards or against any religious cults or any specific bands or people who do things that i dont do, i dont think that it is right that sniper has judged these people and i feel that he has judged them unfairly)

define normal- well there are a few ways to define normal, you could have the normal in the reflection of a mirror (physics), or you could have the poeples choice of normal, which are things that they see as outrageous, like snipers view of people who listen to slipknot (he says their weird), mostly people think that weirdness as things they themselves wouldnt do, like killing someone or someone reading a dictionay, we all have our own scruples (rules to live our life by) and we obey them but we all have to respect other peoples scruples as well.

Very well spoken and yes i know what you mean. But you did say that we have set our own rules and morals to live by, thus giving us the right to define what we find weird and what we do not. And i didn't mean to cause offence to you...unless you are in my school. Why, because those goths and greebos in my school have this habit of stealing girlfriends, breaking up friendships, trying to start fights and give threats. And because of this, this is how i stereotype goths and greebos. I know that this is a narrow minded way of thinking but to be honest i have not met any other goths and greebos in person and have not been able to obtain other impressions about them.

About the slipknot and marilyn manson thing, I do not like them because the greebos and goths in my school keep on talking about death concerning those bands. And as for manson, well i've heard afew of his songs and songs like "disposable teens" are just plain sick.

So please forgive me for offending you as it is all really down to those greebos and goths in my school

thank you

What's a Greebo? Like a mosher?
I hate townees though.

Getting back to the topic

I'm 15 in March

and by the way : Happy New Year everybody.

I like slpiknot, but not manson, personally, my experiences with goths, greebos, moshers and the type havn't been great, however herf, if you're one, you're certainly one of teh nicer ones i've met or talked with.

All of that sect of society (Goths, greebos etc etc) sit on the museum steps in Lancaster drinking cider and telling me to 'shut the f**k up Adam you scouse wanker.'

Whats a mosher?
And
Whats a townee?

Holy cow! Can anything really be worse than
the 90's?

Well, a mosher in my school is basically anyone who listens to music which has any sort of guitar. Apparently if you listen to the Stereophonics you're a "fookin' mosher", and are obssessed with death.

Townies (aka "scallies" in my school) are people who listen to dance, house etc music. and believe **** like what is above. Also commonly known as "smackheads". :)

Then i'm a mosher then...actually a fookin mosher but i dont hang about with death...never liked him...

I'm 38. I hope that makes someone happy.

Townee: So yeah, I f**kin shagged this bird, smoked about 7 f**kin grams of weed and drank about 10 f**kin pints, then this f**kin guy was after me bird wasn't he, so i f**kin gave him six wi' me right hand and put me f**kin boots to him. Well 'ard me.

GOD I HATE THOSE PEOPLE!

Candy Ravers. Ick.

Syl...

Oh in that case, i've beaten up a townee for licking my Offspring lyrics book. Bloody good book it was too!

offspring rocks!

my favorite line:

from the song pretty fly:

well he's getting a tattoo yeah
he's getting ink done
he asks for a 13 but they drew a 31
friends say he's trying too hard
and he's not quite hip

ahhh, that just rocks!

I am 14.

Us modern samurais don't get much respect..
hey start a new topic on this, would you sniper? on types of people...

Human for myself.

Syl...

Got it in one Hooligan :)!

U f**kin startin'?


:)

My fav Offspring line is from the song special delivery...

But you can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when GOD HELP ME!!

I don't know y but i just love that line!
Oh yeah i'm listening to them now...

And yeah i'll try to open the topic when i can find the time...i gotta go now u see...

You young fools make me feel old ;). I'll just say I am in my early 20's. I feel really old, considering my favorite offspring album was Smash.

Im 25 although the year of 26 is creaping up on me faster than I would like.

However, I don't look that old and I don't feel that old. People usually guess me to be around 20, I hope this is a trend that will continue as I get older!

This bloke told me i had a baby face making me look young but i had a deep voice making me sound old so he just about guessed my age right...15!

Despite what my handle suggests, I'll be a mere 21 in a matter of days. I have a lot of planning and drinking ahead of me, as well as the occasional drinking plan.

if you're at all interested I'm 18, but only for another few weeks :) you'll know when it's my birthday, i'll become even more annoying...i mean happy, lets hope it's better than last year, only 5 people at my party :(

I was 16.Already 17!And i can't stop spenking the monkey :)EH!


Dismissed!

I'm 16 on Wednesday 7th this month...please dont break upwith me girlfriend! :(

I'm 17. Huge dragonlace fan and Tolkien

Damn we broke up! Some birthday!

Sniper was cut out?!
I'm gonna kill this *****.


Dismissed!

Sorry to hear about that Sniper...Give it a little while to see if it takes...

If it does, don't worry. There are many, many, many more. I generally can't find them...But that's what I've heard anyway!
:D

See? Us greebos are superior! :D
Nah, just joking sniper. Better luck next time, eh?
If your bad experience was with greebos then mine was with the dogmatistic Christians. Guess that's why I hate paladins in gaming and christians in real life.

What breaks you only makes you stronger!

Syl...

I seem to grow weaker...i'm strong with the girl and weak without her...

something like that...

It's temporary. What Syl said is true...Cliche', but true...It makes you stronger in the long run.

Someday soon you'll wake up and remember that you were once happy before you met her too! Speaking from experience.

One last piece of advice (I learned this in college - DO NOT CALL HER FOR ANY REASON)

It can only make things worse. Hang in there!

If any of this works...Please send me $5.00. :D

Fraid i have to call her to apologise...

Y'see after the break up, i wrote a song about her and i let the 'wrong' person see it and well he took the piss out of her and she ran off crying...ruining what was left of the friendship and me feeling really bad. So after consulting afew people i've decided to call her and talk to her in the hope of mending what can be mended...Thing is, is that i still 'love' her and it hurts to see her cry...especially when i was the one who caused it...damn!

I'm confused, why did she break up with you? surely can't just be because it was your birthday. I think that maybe a note would be better than phoning because it is sometimes easier to write what you want to say and, speaking from experience here, a meaningful note melts a ladies heart and seeing it on paper seems more real...she may even phone you if you choose the right words. Here's hoping, good luck.

Experience, fair Duskai?

'Fraid I can't offer any advice, never been in this situation.

Aye, sometimes a single written phrase can say more then a thousand spoken words. Although of course, for some among us it might be wiser to forget about the pen and paper. After all, writing down that single phrase that can make you regain someone's heart is an art, not given to all.

Anyway, before we're getting too melodramatic, I don't think I've answered this poll-question yet, so I'll do it now : 19 (and a half :) )

Well i've done both of those types!
The phone call a disaster...and i'm just awaiting the letter reply.

She dumped me cos she just saw me as a 'good' friend...well not anymore

sorry man, can't really help you there.

Come on Sniper, chin up. Walk on.
At least you had the experience.

Yeah this experience will help me in further life...damn! i really liked her as well and still do!

I loved you; and I probably still do,
And for awhile the feeling may remain-
But let my love no longer trouble you:
I do not wish to cause you any pain.
I loved you; and the hopelessness I knew
The jealousy, the shyness - though in vain
Made up a love so tender and so true,
As may God grant you to be loved again.
Aleksander Pushkin
1828


Good luck Sniper :)

*This post was inspired by Egg's quote of Pushkin...in English ;)

Brings a tear to my eye...

Thankyou Lo
