I thought this was an interesting question, seeing how long some people have been playing this game as some range from last few months to all the way back in 2006.

I'll start it off, I've been playing this game around one year or one and a half years before the NC launched, so I played the OC barely understanding it's mechanics, so around 5 years I guess.

2~3 yrs now... still a noob in the making

First eras was a little more than 3 years ago but I take very long breaks in between playing so maybe my time should be reduced.

I started playing back in 09 I believe.. Getting better as time goes on..

My first round was in 2006. I am fairly sure it was The first round but I dont remember exactly. I was probably playing under Blink182 of All Killer No Filler but I dont remember that far back. I was just going into my Freshman year of High School.

Obviously I've taken several breaks (each lasting a year or more) but I still enjoy this game as much as I did on Day 1.

Good memories include the KIA glitch I had on my units that made them come back to my colony with 1hp rather than dying (had it an entire round before it was fixed), FOOD!!!!, and Activity being absolutely necessary unless you wanted a nuke to remove your army and the op it was on from existance. And the old boosting system was less addictive.

Obviously I made this account after one of my breaks so I dont need anyone saying "Oh well your account says you have only been playing since BLAH BLAH BLAH."
