29, translator, used to be a lawyer, dabbled with webdesign (coded since age 13 anyway), taught languages for a while. Always been interested in the middle ages, practically grew up on legends and history. Have a soft spot for monarchy and chivalry.
This, is my true motive after CKII.And i like games where i have power since it allows me to compesensate for being powerless in real life.
As expected, 90% is from the middle class with college studies, most of them study economics and history, or work as accountants or IT.
This, is my true motive after CKII.
I'm a two-decade law student
I was 16 when I joined this forum. Internet makes me feel old...Huh, surprised at the age of most of the people here.
Well, I am 15 years old, currently in High School going for an Advanced Regents Degree. Much more mature for my age group, or so I feel.
It's a self-selecting sample. People with good jobs like to tell everybody, those who have crap jobs might hold back.
52, which I think makes me the second or third oldest person to have posted their age so far.
I doubt people are as embarrassed about their crap jobs as I think you're implying. I reckon the selection is more to do with the game. Paradox games require days of investment and a keen interest in both history and economics, or at least complex systems. They don't have quite so wide an appeal as "shoot the aliens."
Also, my mail room gig is a pretty crap, albeit easy. Stay tuned for next year when I'll be a prostitute.
The details of my life are quite inconsequential.
Where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my head. It's quite breathtaking; I suggest you try it.
