Hello All!

I have yet again recently acquired some goods that I would like to get rid of.

Instead of just destroying them, I think it would be fun to have contest to give people a chance to win the mystery items.

So for this contest, just post your age. Real age or clone age, I don't care. Just pick one. The oldest age wins!

There are four prizes, so there will be a grand prize and first to third place runner up prizes.

Winners will be selected 8.8 at 00:00.

Good luck to all contestants and thank you!

I, Claudia Amelia Testarossa Wingate Lillithella Osyn MDCXXXIV, Goddess of the IGS, was here for the founding of the Universe. I am older then time itself, or I could only be 28, you'll never know. My clone is about 2 days old though.

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

I don't believe in free stuff.
My age is private information.

I don't know what you mean by real age. Like, the age we were born in vs the age of the current clone we are in? I would just call it my age, though the more I think about it the less I'm sure that is appropriate. Doesn't matter, still would say that is my age. My clone is about a day old....

Microsoft says my picture makes me look 38.

I once tried to convince a judge at 21 was the new 16. That didn't work well.

I'm the same age as my tongue but older than my teeth.

I maturity age is 17, but in bed I act like I'm 5.

If you mean my date of birth:
  • Born: 9.22.93 (YC)
  • Age: 24 anni, New Eden Standard

  • (If you're talking about my pilot license issuance date, that one's 3.29.115 Smile)
    ((OOC, and awesomely enough, http://how-old.net/ also thinks I look 24, which means I did pretty well with all of this Blink)

    I have performed a basic descriptive statistical analysis of this data set and I present some interesting conclusions regarding Capsuleer age:

    1) The mean age of a typical Capsuleer is 987.5 billion years.
    2) The data set has a skewness value of 2.12 which is why the median age is slightly lower than the mean age at only 30.5 years.
    3) The skewness value is reflected in the quartiles which are Q1=28, Q2=30.5, and Q3=33.5.
    4) I do not provide a graph but the data set has a kurtosis of 5.375. (Imagine a straight line just above zero running for seven data points and then a sharp ascent of the line to just shy of 8 trillion for the eighth data point; Warning, this graph has very sharp edges).

    I have concluded that it would probably be beneficial to collect more data on the matter. Until such time, I recommend that adolescence be redefined as ending at ~400 billion years old, midlife as beginning at ~1 trillion years old, and the Golden Years to be decided (the more immediate problem in our upper years will be dealing with decreasing numbers of main sequence stars in the Cluster and probably difficulties with funding pensions).

    (EDIT: Original analysis was improved upon by using all data points and not just some data points.

    Wait, 987.5 billion years... that's older than the universe! Which means...

    Oh my god...

    GOD'S A CAPSULEER. Now it all makes sense! The property damage, the constant and inescapable deaths of baseliners (I mean, they all die!), the way everything out there is so unbelievably massive...

    THE BASTARD'S IN PANDEMIC LEGION!

    I mean, really, who else flies ships so large they can be called 'omnipresent'...
