About
| who are we ?
|
| The Elders are online gamers. We came together looking for an alternative to the petty childishness of Battlenet, when the only game we played was Starcraft. Looking for a place to enjoy the game without the incessant cheating, backstabbing, foul language, and general infantile behaviour that at the time was ruining Battlenet, we formed this group. |

Very few of you young dudes like to pal around with us 40-ish guys. Its the
same with us; we mostly prefer the company of our own age group.
About setting a fixed lower age limit of 25, that is just for practical
reasons. Sure, some people of 17 are more mature than some people of 27,
but there is no easy way to tell that when a person applies for membership.
How about one of you chaps starting a club for people from 17 through 24?
You can call it the pre-elders if you want. (But I'm sure you will think of
a better name.) You should be able to recruit 500 members.

Some of us older Starcraft players have formed a group called "The Starcraft
Elders". The main point of this is because there are so many youngsters
posting to this newgroup, and playing on battle.net. Like, we might bitch
and moan, but we don't whine.
|
And we don't cheat, or backstab, or
insult, or trash-talk. (well, not much anyway) We currently have 25
members, but we are seeking more. Our minimum age is 25, most members are
in the 30's, but some are well beyond that. We have a web site with a forum
and a mailing list. Some of us play regularly on battle.net. If you think
you want to be a "Starcraft Elder", reply to this message. --
Reality is that which you are experiencing, right here, right now.

How about some of us older guys keeping in touch? If this interests you
send me an e-mail and I will pass the addresses to the others who write.
Then we can exchange e-mail about Starcraft and complain about all the rude
kids, etc. We can also team up for battle.net games. (and/or compete
against each other)
I play regularly on battle.net. I would like to find a team-mate or two who
is past adolescence.

First off, this is a very cool thread as it hits close to home for me on a
few levels.
To Karl - I suppose the fact I am still single at 28 and a heavy SC player
may strangely be linked to your situation somehow
