I just started playing last night, and I'm 32. This game looks like a winner, can't wait to get some quality time in online.

Thank god.
I suspect having one foot in the past is the best way to understand the present.

This sounded a bit harsh isn't Wesnoth for all age brackets :lol: .

I think it would be a very nice thing if a younger audience would start playing Free Software games in general and Wesnoth in particular.

17. It's like being 16, except I get to be tried as an adult. I hated people going "oh, congradulations." Yeah! I can be excecuted just like an adult, even though I'm still not considered one legally, and you brain doesn't stop developing for about seven years after you are considered one!

AWESOME!

Go go logic rangers of the logic vortex!

I agree with Noy. I actually feel most 12 and thirteen year old shouldn't be allowed on the internet.
Oh no look out its a ray gun.
You should move to avoid the rays
the rays are coming out of the gun
if you are hit by the rays
you will be shot by the rays
the rays are fast so you should be fast to
can you win against the fast rays from the gun?

Interesting. If Turin is sixteen now and joined the project in Jan 2004 then that would have made him about thirteen or so (dependent on birthday). Without Turin there would be no Eastern Invasion, Sceptre of Fire, Saving Elensefar, Imperial Era, etc... I personally believe this would be a bad thing....

(Out of a weird curiosity I just checked what Turin's first post was. It appears to have been to ask for help beating Muff Malal's Peninsula on easy :wink: . The other slightly disturbing (and completely useless) thing I learned is that when you go to his profile and 'Find all posts by Turin' the result has 686 pages :shock: .)

I was 14 at the time, IIRC. I'm almost 17 now. Then I'll have unsung's problem of being tried as an adult... if I want to murder anyone, I'd better do it now.

If I'm supposed to fight creeping biggerism, then why is it a game feature?

It's just a good idea to realise that the age of others for instance on the MP server isn't necessarily the same as yours. :wink:

Different age groups have different wants and needs - take this entirely biased, subjective view with a pinch of salt though... :P

The youngsters have a lot of free time, but their parents could tell them to have lunch or clean up their room any minute. :lol: So they tend to be rather impatient or on edge even if they hang around the server all day. They also have the urge to prove their skills and to get recognition for everything they did (like asking every observer how they like the map they made, and not taking criticism too well).

Us older guys may hang around the server (being afk), but we actually have very little time to play due to real-life constraints. We're less likely to just jump into a game, being a little bit more choosy (or just slow to respond?). We like to waste our time more in the lobby than in games :o. We tend not to take things personally as much. Our internet connections are perhaps a bit more stable because our little brother isn't abusing the computer at the same time, but we might have to answer the phone, walk the dog, care for our relationships, or tell the kids to clean their room. :lol: Our misclicks are more likely due to arthritis rather than hyper-excitement (okay, okay... I'm exaggerating... :lol:)

The devs though have very little time to be on the MP server due to complicated embalming procedures they constantly have to undergo, as I understand.
