MoneyShot's post inspired me to post this poll. I am curious to find out the youngest and oldest member at the Pit.

How old are you?

You updated the poll right after I voted didn't you? I've lost all my faith in democracy.

I voted for option 2 15-19 and I find that my vote has went to another age group.

19 for me here. And yeah, mapping is ageless, besides that I still have to see the first 100+ mapper... :razz:

I'm learning my 10 years old brother mapping for HL now, so good to see an under 12 option... :wink:

(If only he would test some more so I don't have to try to fix the most
obscure errors like allocblock:full and bad surface extends...)

My Pit

17, 18 in a month.

btw is there some birthday function here at the pit? Was just thinking
there might be as you can enter your birthday in your profile.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

so if your more than 25, that's it, your old?

If you're over 25 and still here, you're officially old even if not technically, since you get the old-guy insurance discount

Sorry, I accidentally pressed [Enter] before I finished editing the poll, and you voted within seconds after I posted.

You're just too fast for this old geezer.

I think I started at 11. And even earlier than that for Starcraft
stuff. I heard about this game called "Counter-Strike" that you could
make maps for.

has it caught on cj? :heee:

Doc B... :dodgy:

14. That counts me as the youngest to have posted here thus far.

16 so far, started mapping when i was about 8 in red alert i believe. I created maps for 2 hours in a row and then my bro played them, we could spend a whole day behind the computer.

You know, I've actually got nothing to say

I know its only 6 slots but I don't think anyone would have minded expanding the age brackets a bit. When a demographic poll stops at 25 its time to ask, "Why are we here again?"

i still need to get hl so i can map

ive got every other game

Based on the fact that not many people usually agree with me and that the stats are distributed like so:

[1, 11]:    0
 [12, 15]:    4
 [16, 18]:    12
 [19, 21]:    13
 [22, 25]:    1
[26, Inf]:    5

Which group do you think I voted under?

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

12-15?

I honestly don't know if Frenchy was being sarcastic there or not :biggrin:

Considering how you always intimate that no one ever pays any attention to you I'd venture a guess at #1. A big fat zero would be about right. :heee:

Firstly, not paying attention is a very good sign of disagreement.
Secondly because being you, you would view the vote in such a manner as to see your one vote counting as a zero in the eyes of those who do not pay attention.
Thirdly, because you, whether you see yourself in such a light, are definition #1 through and through. You have an insatiable appetite to fill everyones ears with your droning on. Specifically in this ever so public a venue.

Lastly. It was in lightblue because its funny.

Finally, in your own words: [quote]It's not an assumption, but an interpretation. [/quote]

Lucky for you, I can have an epiphany once in a while as well. (2) : an intuitive grasp of reality through something (as an event) usually simple and striking)

If you are working with absolutes, nope. If you are talking about possibilities, You bet.
Replying obtusely to a thread post is a good sign of being an asshole, but having an asshole doesn't mean you are obtuse.

I think so too, but I've never seen a poll to tally up the
groups. It's more difficult to picture the demographics in your
head when you're just going through the thread.

I just turned 33. Is Dr Brasso the only one who is older than me?

Too bad Orph is gone, otherwise he would've claimed the oldest crown.

And I didn't extend the [Over 25] range because the poll at SnarkPit
only allows six options. I wanted to concentrate on the teens,
because it'll give us a better idea about the age distribution.

Looking at the poll result, it's obvious that most people stop mapping
after college. A few exceptions are the older members who are
working but still want a piece of their childhood.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -- Toulouse-Lautre, Moulin Rouge

I have the distinct impression that I am either the oldest, or nearly so. Considering the way the poll is going I do not know if its safe to say exactly how old I am either. I will say, I was alive when Kennedy was, I remember the moon landings and remember just how often they shaved under those tiny skirts they wore back then. :dodgy:

I am slightly older than the 25 mentioned for "Old age"

---

There is no history until something happens, then there is.

Okay, last post on this, I don't want to jack satch's thread.

If someone "ignored" what I said, as in they didn't read it ... how the hell could they disagree? They wouldn't know what I had to say.

I'm not going to dignify your second point with a proper response.

You assume so much about me ... it's really weird what you assume as well. It's like ... you're not reading what I'm saying or something :rolleyes:

Don't quote me out of context. Quoting doesn't work that way.

In any case, you all would fail any logic class EVER! :razz:

Except fishy, apparently. Because that's actually a good argument. Something similar to the "All Crows are Black, this piece of chalk is white, so there's your proof". (Although, I think that there's a good chance you can be sick if you sneeze, it just might not effect you. This type of stuff really shows in isolated societies. Where there's just little to no disease)

Anyway.
Cease derailment.

i had the exact same thing :smile: i made deathmatch maps for duke nukem 3d and then spent hours playing in them against my bro. It was via a null-modem connection or something.

23 now

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

extracted from a recent similar post.... :heee:

actually i believe that even since Orph left (again) that i am STILL the oldest that frequents this joint.... :rolleyes: hell, i have since ive been here. im at the "18th anniversary of my 29th birthday... :heee:

to clarify, i am still older than jon dammit...life is good.

Doc b... :dodgy:

You know Underdog's name is Jon, too. And i dunno if he is older than you or not.

yes, another perfecty good example of what i was saying to you. if you don't want that being pointed out too often, try and apply the same logic when coming to conclusions based on what people say.

Whats funny is, when I do it its perceived as being a prick, when you guys do it its perceived as being highly observant. How long am I supposed to be here before I join this other group of non-pricks?

I find it odd, yet funny that this is so apparent yet so overlooked.

Anyway. the only good reply I have seen today is:

Cease derailment.

I take this to mean everyone or only the pricks?
I think I liked it better when you all hinted that I was being a sissy. I am not to sure about this prick thing you got going.
