28 - work in manufacturing operations for a major corporation in Greenville, SC. Do a lot of database mining and even some programming. Unlike Kevdog - I got tired of physics before my PhD, I left w/ my masters and got a job. Just didn't feel like being an RA and making Jack for that long. Mariied w/ one kid and one on the way. Former navy guy - surface warfare. Enjoy flyfishing, backpacking, gaming of course, and amatuer robotics.

I'm a 30yr-old sysadmin at a mid-size college (~8k Users) in upstate NY. It's been difficult at work lately, having to swat frosh compsci students' errant final projects off my minis while pondering the optimum BC config to fight off a recent Phong incursion

I haven't played any of the previous Versions of SE, but I'm hooked on this game. It's unlike so many of the other games out today, in that it's not *when* you'll beat the computer, but *if* you'll beat it.

I'm 16. Just busy with school. I can't help feeling pretty young when reading this thread.

42, married, 1 kid & another "in the Build Que".

Retired USNR Chief Petty Officer, 8 years active (in submarines), 12 years reserves.

Currently an electrical engineer working in industrial controls.

Been playing wargames & reading science fiction since I was about 12 (or 7, if you count toy soldiers and "Space Cat" books), computer games since the C-64 was the premier gaming platform. I mostly prefer 4X and other "grand strategic" games where I can live out my fantasies of absolute monarchy (anybody who is married can tell you what a fantasy that is

)
