quote: Originally posted by Theseus I was born in 1963, so I was a child in middle class America during Vietnam and the height of the Cold War. The closest thing we had to a geo-political teaching tool was the game Risk, which taught large-scale CHANCE.

I'm only a year older and grew up playing a variety of strategy boardgames (produced by Avalon Hill and SPI) as well as miniatures. Finding opponents wasn't easy so PC games were a godsend. My first computer strategy game was Empire back in the 70's. I played my first strategy boardgame in 1967 at the age of 5 (I still cannot remember how I first got introduced to it).

Well, you are correct of course, strategy games were around, for some reason we didn't play them. We moved when I was 12, and I got introduced by new friends to Diplomacy. Now THAT'S a great game.

* Theseus thinks, hmmm, reminds me of something around here...

Never played Diplomacy but always wanted to. My group banned it because of all the fights breaking out during the game.
I think one of my earliest boardgames was Tactics II, followed by the first edition of Third Reich.

My advice :-

Start reading . I mean , really , really reading . Then bug EVERYONE with questions about history . And don't forget , after the other person has answered , state your views in great , almost graphic , detail . And say this is just a withdrawal symptom , it'll pass , nothing to worry about . Keep it up for a month .

OK , so I'm not serious .

Hey, once upon a time we were all where you are now. being a kid is preperation for being an adult. sure we all (most of us) may have a car and money in our wallet, but we didn't get those things by playing computer games, we got them by working hard for them.

sure, you're parents seem to have gone a little strict with this newest restriction, so respond to it by proving that you are responsible enough to have your privledges, and maintain good grades at the same time.

dammit, i'm turning into my father. it's scaring me, so i'll stop now. lol

good luck

You have it good, don't worry. If you were my child and tried to question my ultimate authority, even in your sleep (I'm very good at sensing vibes, so I'd know if rebelling was even unconscious), you'd lose your HUMAN RIGHTS and be introduced to a place I like to call 'the pit'.
Food privilidges gone. Everything.. GONE *snaps fingers* like that. I expect and demand a lot, but then again I give a lot too. Would you like to be my son?
