Damn am I the youngest... I am 12 turning 13 next year and all my friends make fun of me because the dwarfs are smiles and the game is in ASCII graphics.

But I am a lot more mature then 12...

(still can't believe I am the youngest...)

12!!!1! I never thought anybody that young could understand DF.

are you saying I am stupid or 12 year old people (like myself) are stupid?

 You must understand that is the age boys turn into stupid teens. Generally, we get obsessed with trendy things and chatspeak, taking no consideration to common sense or consideration for others.

 We generally don't grow out of it 'till the mid-twenties or only a brief one-year stint of chatspeak+trendiness. That one year is around preteen to early teens.

Well, 12y old people are very and I mean VERY immature usually [you know what am I talking about..LOOOOOL ROFLLMAO!!! U SUX..etc]...but of course I am not talking about all of the kiddos.

PS. Some 18y+ old people are also acting like that, I have some experience with those..[World of Warcraft  ;D]

A conversation something like this went on in WSG about a week ago:

Someguy:  OMFG WE HAVE NO HEALERS
Someguy:  WTF WHY DO WE HAVE NO HEALERS THIS IS GAAAAAY
Muffles:  Shut up.
Otherguy: Stupid twelve year olds...
Someguy:  I AM FIFTY YEARS OLD
Someguy:  RAAGH THIS SUCKS
Muffles:  Then you need to stop playing WoW, get a job, and move out of your mom's basement.
Someguy:  [Continuing to Rant]

It was bad, and for some reason I believe him.

20 here. I tried to get a friend who I thought would enjoy DF to play, but he wanted nothing to do with it.

my friends dont wonder if i talk about DF but they don't try it becouse, it is hard to use/ugly and becouse if they do after it will fix them befor the computer even more ... maybe i am good at presanting DF :D but the fact that they are informatic students too should help also.
for other RL friends (not from the university) i don't tell about DF becouse i have more interesting subjects for that few days when i can see them.(studying really far away my home)

I think we should try to make a Hungarian fansite...perhaps more people would be interested in the game. The problem is, that basically no one knows about DF in Hungary.  ::)

I turn 16 this fall. I've been playing for two years I think. I have a friend at my age who also play. I don't think he's active here, though.
