Age Poll, February 2015

[Herrebrugh]

I'm nineteen since the first of August last year.

I'm nineteen since the first of August last year.

That's the thing with these threads. There is always someone who you think is older than they actually are.

What? How old did you think I was?

Ne'ermind.

[Herrebrugh]

What? How old did you think I was?

Ne'ermind.

Hmm, I'd already learnt this.

At least we both forgot, then

[Herrebrugh]

Are there seriously teenagers playing this?

Lol is that a rhetorical question?

Alright...

I was born in the 1990s, therefore I was a kid in the 90s. Therefore I am a 90s kid.

You people and your 1990s. Everyone knows that 1890s kids are much better.

Considering both Hanns Eisler and Bertolt Brecht were 1890s kids, I'll happily agree with this sentiment

[Hirota]

Too many damned kids in here.

35.

[Idzequitch]

Yo tengo veinte años.

I turned 31 in December. Think how I feel!

I'm twice your age and three times Huskar's. Wimps.

I'd have never guessed you were past your mid thirties.
I don't know if that's a complement or not. Take it as you will.

[Idzequitch]

Late 20s.
I remember the 90s. Apparently, the 90s are a thing now with the kiddies. '90s kids' can talk about 90s things. Like Vanilla Ice. Who ever would have guessed?
God I feel old.

Oh God. I'm sorry, but the 90's were nothing special enough to be worth remembering. The music was bad, and the movies were mostly subpar. Perhaps the best thing the 90's have going for them is the cartoons. They were stupid, yes, but pretty cool.

[Ifreann]

I am as ancient as the mountains, and as young as a newborn lamb.

Or 27, whatever.

[Ifreann]

I turned 17 last year in September. Turning 18 this year, cannot wait to finally be a legal adult.

Turning 18 isn't cool. Nothing changed in my life when I got 18.

How terrible for you.

[Ifreann]

What people mean with Constaniana is under 20 and Ifreann under 30?

I feel abnormally childish now...

I've been under 30 for a while now.

How terrible for you.

Is it terrible? Just saying that it sounds better than it is.

Indeed. You should have been out driving drunk to polling stations and what not when you turned 18.

[Ifreann]

Well mine is on the 11th so there is a nice little buffer between it and Christmas. Though i usually just ask for money on my birthday, it does me.

Hmm. I was probably wrong about that. Early January would be the worst time to have a birthday.

My mother's birthday is three days after Christmas Day. I do try to remember to get her two presents, I really do.

[Ifreann]

It's the thought that counts

I like to think so.

[Ifreann]

I turn 17 on the twentieth. And I've been on here for five years.

Is there a statute of limitations on being underage on the forums?

[Ifreann]

Oh wow, that is my bad then. Hadn't heard of that one. Most serious thing I'd though had happen on-site was the 1000 Cats incident.

That's the problem with such issues. It is almost never the one you suspect.

Best to simply be vigilant, and safe.

CONSTANT VIGILANCE

Still using that cover, are you?

And if I don't specify what period of time I'm 27 of, I'm technically correct!

[Ifreann]

I am no more likely to be under 41 than I was the last time we did this, and I still mildly resent the lack of additional options for those of us over 41.

Don't rule out the possibility of some mystical ancient artefact turning you back into a teenager.

[Ifreann]

I've never understood the obsession with the nineties. I like grunge as much as the next guy, but everything else I think kind of sucked.

There's a twenty year lag on stuff being nostalgic. Come the 2030s people will be all over Gangnam Style's shit again.

[Ifreann]

I remember my first memory. We lived in a shitty little run down farmhouse. A tornado ended up touching down and plowing through our property and I remember watching shit whiz by from the window in our storm cellar.

The next day we went out to survey the damage and found out the tornado had destroyed our barn. Worse yet it must have picked up our horse, because horse viscera and innards were draped across the wreckage.

My first memory was shit, is what I'm getting at.

Why do I find the horse viscera bit funny?

I am a horrible person.

Could have been worse, could have been cow viscera. Which probably looks the same, but there'd be more of it.

They say fashion is cyclical, I'm just waiting for leisure suits and leg warmers.

Start wearing them now and maybe you'll be a trendsetter.

[Ifreann]

It looks to me like some players are puppet voting in options #2 and #6.

Which of course renders the poll meaningless. I could ask a Mod to investigate, but I doubt they'd make the effort since puppet voting on a poll isn't a forum offense.

Really bloody annoying though.

we are winning

... and here's a suspect.

"I know, I'll use puppets to make this poll less accurate! Truly it shall be the most whimsical jape of the season!" - Someone, apparently.

[Imyoji]

18 years young.

[Jamjai]

Its a tie now

Somebody should break it

[Jamjai]

we are winning

Conspiracy against me

I'm 23.

Nonsense, 90's had awesome music!

I was born in 1997, which is in the 1990s. Therefore I am a 90s kid!

Yes, except no (see the argument above). It doesn't really matter (it's just a decade after all) but the term does need some consistency of usage and I maintain that describing myself (born in mid-1995) as a 90s kid is misleading. Therefore, describing someone younger than me as such is more misleading.

Indeed. I'd put being "90's kid", being born between c. '84 - '91, with earlier being "truer" in a sense.
