Me too (except I am already 25 since April). Good thing I forced Lorgan to play this game. I remembered the ironic laughing, at first, but now I am the one who has the last laugh!
Just saw this topic when I was browsing a bit through the forum, to see what I've missed in my 'cold turkey' years. You guys all started so old. I'm pretty sure I was 12 when I first started playing BM, 23 now though. And I only added "Ibladesh" to my vocabulary a lot later I guess...sorry Fleugs!
