My best friend's dad had three of his four sons, a cousin and myself
playing when I was age 11. (Yes, I know that's only six people - the
youngest one would get England and Austria) - we never played the
recommended 6 person rules.

Well, at least I'm not the youngest, though at 23 I'm not that much older.
Irritatingly, I've not managed to get anyone to play me on a real board
(game length...) so I've been playing email-based Diplomacy for the last 7
years. 16 has to be a pretty young start, right?

Guilty as charged - of all my variants, SAS needs the most work. It
was one of my very first stabs at variant design, that rolled off the
press back around 2000-2001.

On the other hand, my masterpiece is recruiting for players right now!
The latest revision of Sengoku (version 6.0, with the DP system) is
on the DC website. (Compare that to SAS, which never made it past
version 1.1)

I'm allowed to be upset at Paraguay's starting position-- I haven't seen
lack of sea access since Ukraine in Modern! I recently build a fleet
just
to see how it felt, the people of Ascunsion were not impressed.

Anyway to answer the question yes I have played on a real board, even
though
it was only once. In my defense though it was at the World Boardgaming
Championships. I've never played the PC game though--too modern for me
(I
still listen to my vinyl)

I've met a few people in college which put them at the same age as me,
but
I"m sure a few are still in high school.

be nice Mike - Scott is one of my regular variant groupies (though
he's not a fan of Balkans1860). So no pissing him off

If you like, I can send you a list of people who turn their nose up at
my variants, and you can be mean to them all day long. Such people
deserve abuse.

I believe Bruce Ray is the oldest player in dc, if not the world.

We dont track or ask for birthdate upon signup, tho it might be
interesting
to. Might be too personal. Also kinda fun to find out what age of ppl
you're working w as you get to know them and not have that all
disclosed
up
front.

I can remember back to when Greg (in this game) was telling me he'd
just
finished high school and was going into Brown Univ...
That was a few years back tho.
