16, but cynical as ****, and always waay to overconcerned. (Well, not always. When I stopped that teacher from walking under a bus in Rome it might've been usefull).

what about 21? it doesn't exactly open any more doors, except possibility to get drivers license for rigs and such.

Are you kidding me? How many hobbies can geezers like us enjoy where we get to just sit on our asses (and frequently add our opinions - oops - I mean VAST stores of WISE life experience). PLUS we get to blow lots of stuff up (and the state won't press charges!)

ROFLMAO!!!

Good for you :D I'm pretty much the same, I can live like a grown up, but I utterly refuse to stop having fun simply because other people think I'm too old for it, I mean, there are men of 50+ doing CG stuff in films, so why not ;)

20 here.

You can NEVER get too old for FreeSpace. To say such things is heresy punishable by immediate spacing. Alternatively we could just drown wrongdoers in Bosch Beer......

21st = massive party here - pretty much the biggest birthday you're going to have til at least 40 or 50. I assumed it was universal, but apparently not.

21 Is the last 'Upwards' Birthday in the UK, the next one is 30, which is sort of like a Goodbye party for your youth ;)

40+ Parties really just mean 'Yay! I'm still alive!' ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

LOL Would it just happen to contain a large number of people who were 13-15 when Freespace 2 came out.

Except me and Gevetter and 2 unknown others, who were about 27-29 :nervous:

But hey, I played Text-based star-trek, when it was a brand new concept!
