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

With your encyclopædic knowledge of Latin, I just figured you were from Themyscira!

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

Oh, you kids and your fancy markup. In my day we made HTML 1.1 by hand. In Simpletext. And we loved it!

 

Spoiler

Or, believe it or not, HoTMetaL Pro. And thanks for the tip!

Funny you mention it...a few years ago I was webmaster for my sister and her husbands home based business...he asked what program I use to make website and my answer was (and still is) um..WordPad.  My brain is full to overflowing with obsolete coding languages like BASIC PASCAL HTML CSS and VRML.  It's hard learning new stuff like incarnates and set bonus info. 😝

[DoctorDitko]

Oh, ditch Wordpad and give Notepad++ a try!

 

Your fingers will thank you!

 

I was my state's Y2K webmaster, and that thing would have been a godsend!

Came out in 2003, darn it!

Is there a prize for the youngest? Because out of the people who have posted so far, I win, being only 27. 😛

 

I remember playing this game at the beginning of High School, so even still this game has been with me a while. 😄

I have another 20 or so months until I ding 50.  Really hoping I get the flashy graphical effects IRL.

I’m 46. Not the oldest. But some days I feel like 100. Lol 

the 2020 year effect is real.

[DoctorDitko]

Yeah. All the stuff I've done since I hit 50 and STILL no Alpha slot opening up. Starting to think RL has some serious bugs.

I mean, did you even get the "Entrusted With The Secret" badge? Have you even been to Ouroboros yet? 😄

You can open those without the special thing from whatshisname...RL is just fatally bugged.  And what kinda drops are y'all getting?  Mine seem to all be bills and messes to clean up.  Lots of salvage but RL seriously needs to improve the storage capacity of bases!

You know, I stand around at the bus stop and ask for someone to drop a portal, but all I get is strange looks.

[Lunchmoney]

97.

[Lines]

I think Lunchmoney just figured out a loophole in this contest...

[DoctorDitko]

Funny, Lunch doesn't look a day over 90!

20mm*(50-age) for the youngest player.  I'm hoping that 8 y/o shows up!

 

@DoctorDitkois responsible for "verifying" the winners in whatever time frame and manner he or she sees fit, then I'll send the check.

[DoctorDitko]

Scary to think that 8 year old might be driving now!

 

I think I'll just go by the honor system. After high school, I don't see many people lying about their age in the upward direction!

IKR?  I'm hoping I can start earning some real-life Incarnate XP.   

And man oh man, I want me some real-life Ouroborous.  How cool would it be to flashback to like, 2019 right about now?

When I watched that movie the first time I was alarmed at how old Han Solo was getting .. 

 

Now I am amazed at how young he looked in it.

 

[DoctorDitko]

I never thought I'd be be nostalgic for 2019.

Or wished I lived in South Korea (good COVID response, excellent Internet speed).

[Frostbiter]

I'll turn 42 ina few months. I want to make some joke about suddenly being gifted with the answers to life the universe and everything but well, that would be a fucking joke.,

I could totally see someone buying you a case of good beer. 

Or some really good coffee.

 

LOTS of people use one or the other as the answers to life, the universe, and everything.

Why not both?

 

First, drink a case of Fuller's Extra Special Bitter, then wake up with a pot of Sumatra Mandheling!

 

Share and Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to have some sort of mid-life crisis or something but I don't really like sportscar and I just bought a new truck. I did try hitting on this 20 year old but I can't interpret all those emoji's. :/

[DoctorDitko]

Yeah. I work at a college and there are very many beautiful girls, but I can't get past the language barrier.

Admire, not aspire.
