How young do people get here?

I'm in my 30's, a teacher in Thailand. I play Risk with some of my students (good for teaching geography as well as developing tactical thinking) and they enjoy it.

I told them about ConquerClub not really expecting any of them to join as: 1) they are Thai and don't know English all that well.
2) they're kids (aged 10 - 13).

A few weeks after, one of my students told me that he joined ConquerClub and has been playing. He told me his User Name. I checked and, sure enough, there he was. Completed 8 games... even won 1. Some dude out there got beat by an 11-year-old Thai kid. :lol:

If we got 11-year-old kids who don't even speak English winning games, just how young do the members here get?

Cheers,

Sir Titus

There should be an age field on the player profiles.

My 10 year old is a member ...My 6 yr. old wants one...but he is not quite ready.

funny story - 10 yr old assumed everyone has the basic membership with 4 games allowed. One day looking over my shoulder asks "why is your name on so many games? Is something wrong?" Wife speaks up and says in a wife voice about how Dad has a Premium membership

He know wants one for Christmas ..of 2006 - He doesnt want to wait until '07

Remember that time you lost to pedro and I?

ok, I lied, but 16 and 10 the only real difference is sex drive.

I'm not suggesting that any of us is specifically a predator, but isn't that a bit dangerous? Of course, the predators are usually lurkers...

(I hope my low double digit number of posts doesn't qualify ME as a lurker). :roll:

my 13 year old son is an avid player and has been as high as captain.

AAFitz, you've lost to him before in a 3 player game, should I get you a box of Kleenex?
