I actually started DROD when I was about 12... but nowadays I'm 14.

Ah, yes, but how old are you now? I'm 23, turning 24 in just over a couple months. You may send your birthday present donations to me by courier.

OK, I had joker down as about 20. Just goes to show that you never can tell...

On topic - I'm 17. That age of being too old to get kids' privileges and too young for adults'. I first played DROD at about 11, but that was the Webfoot demo and it took me a few months to complete... Oh the shame...

I had a poll on the General board asking how old people were: http://www.drod.net/forum/viewtopic.php?TopicID=1301&page=0#7594 . This was a long time ago, and there were only 5 options, a fact which was pretty limiting. So, if someone wants to start a new age poll with more options, please feel free.

Game on,

First, a little clarification. I got addicted at 10. Actually, I first played about 7 or so (the Webfoot version) but as I couldn't find out how to exit level one when I completed it I lost interest at the time.

Anyways, I don't like to give out personal information, so you'll never know how old I am.

That's scary; I do my best not to radiate an aura of maturity. I've got Hawk pegged either as an EXTREMELY intelligent 14-16 year old or in the 21-25 range.

I'm 18, and I'd be really pleased if people thought I was older.

Not much chance of that happening.

I quickly approach the big 20, but I'm not quite there yet. 3 weeks to be exact.

You know, you can delete the second post if you check the box that says "Delete message" when you're editing. And I'd like to say for the record that modding down an accidental double-poster is the height of forum elitism.


As for my age, I'm three and a half years older than the youngest confirmed age so far. I love this!

Um, for my age if you take the number of wraithwings in Dugans, divide it by the number of 'Neathers (assuming a new one in each room),add the number of foes on level 15, subtract the minimum amount of steps it takes to complete on Level 8 7s2e, multiply by the number of trapdoors on level 1, then add the number of floors in Dugan's you got my age.

You do realize that there are trapdoors on level 1, don't you? You can't see them outside of the editor, but they are there

Of course I realize that! You think in my centuries of existence in this sewerhole you call "earth" that I would not have gathered such wisdom as to be aware of facts like that... Now take your overly observant and all-too-present mouth elsewhere...
