Oldest player contest!

Recommended Posts

OK, there are a few threads that make me think I might not be the most ancient of days player on the Homecoming server.

 

Are you older than me? I just turned 58, which should mean I know better, but (to my surprise) that's not thing that actually happens. You don't get wiser, you just remember all the mistakes you made when you were younger. Then you pretend you are wiser to the youngsters.

 

Oops. Should have used the spoiler tag, but I can't figure out how to use it!

 

OK. so the oldest player wins 20 million inf from Yomo er, 1 million inf from me, and a promise to team up with you any time you want, as long as it's not too far past my bedtime.

Off topic, on live I once teamed up with a player who did very well on our team.

He was very quiet, though (and I'm a notorious banterer*) and after a few missions, he confessed he was 8 years old.

I really hope he's here, somewhere!

 

*Also, why can't banterers have a special tag? Roleplayers get one!

OF COURSE you get 20mm, no, 1mm for every year of your age, from me!

 

I won't win this, since I'm not as old as Ditko, the old git.

 

EDIT:  I changed my mind.  You get 20mm for every year of your age.  No ties; there can be only one!

 

RE-EDIT:  Adding a prize for the youngest player as well!  20mm*(50-age) for the youngest player.

Well, I'm definitely not the oldest. I turn 31 in November.

I am 61 years old, and I doubt I am the oldest player.

Hey, you're in luck, there's a PSA for that!

 

I had to link it, the irony of your comment was too good considering I posted right after you did in that thread.

Condolences!

I have knee troubles, too.

Everyone wants superpowers {usually something splashy like a Blaster or Tank set) but personally, I'd be happy with Hover.

I wrought matter from the Planck Era of the universe, blew my breath into the Expansion Era and have surfed the cosmic background radiation since before this galaxy began to coalesce from the minor fluctuations of gravity.     Or it feels like then when I get out of bed in the morning.

Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game...
