RL matters - Where do you live? (poll)

[Qwer]

Hi,

This board is Nanny-related, but still, I just take it as some gateway between rl and Nanny. Nanny is just that place you can telnet in, period. This is a real forum.

I was just wondering, perhaps you could post here a bit about yourselves, about your rl. Who you are, where you live, what you do. Perhaps this is not such a good idea as some people would like to keep their Nanny-identity here? I couldn't care less. Anyway I'm just being courious ... so I will just tell you a bit about myself, not that anyone would care.
I'm 27 years old (will be on 30th April). I am of hungarian nationalty, and a romanian citizen. I came to work to Budapest two months ago, too bad people isn't playing Nanny from here so I'm kinda alone.
I am working for some company named TCS as an Assistant System Engineer, this would be my official title I guess ... but I don't really know yet what I am doing there. A bit of everything ... (IT, of course). Writing dox, completing forms, things I've always hated. Oh well, actually it isn't all that bad. But it is very different that my old job, I'm having sometimes a hard time to get used to things. I am a very lazy person too, this might be a problem sometimes.
I think most Nanny players (at least the older ones) work in IT. We are the ones without a life, right?

Oh well, I just noticed we can start some polls (or can't we?) So I'll just test it.

Heh. I am 30. I live in Ohio in US. I grew up as a military brat with father in Army. I am about to finish an Associates degree in Computer Networking Systems. Don't know where Labyrinth and I will go after that or when we'll move, but we WILL move. I've lived in many different cities all over the US. I've been playing Nanny since 1993 and have a long memory. Might say more later

Hey - It's like Nanny Anonymous!

I'm game... kind of

Hi, My name is.... hang on, I know this one... wait, don't give me a hint... I had it on the tip of my tongue a second ago...  Oh wait, there it is next to logged in!

 Yavathol, that's me!

 

So, let's see.  I am a bit older than Snafu... As I like to put it I am old enough to know better but young enough to do it anyway.  I also live in the US, currenly near the west coast in the state known as Nevada; but, also like Snafu, I know I will be moving at some point (probably in about 1 year or so).  
I can tell you that even though I am an older player with no life, I am not in IT.  Actually, the no life thing is due to my job  

Hey, the choices we make.

I actually haven't been around Nanny as long as the likes of some here, but I guess I've been around longer than quite a few now, I believe it was 1999 to be specific.

Coincidentally, like Qwer, I am currently far from my home for work and have absolutely nothing on the outside to do other than Nanny.  Luckily for me I get to go home in about 1 month, an event I am looking forward to.  

Well, maybe there will be more to tell later...

I've always kept Nanny and RL VERY far apart Well, after the first period when some of my RL friends (Beowulf, Exidor, Fce, Baldrick et al) also played anyway. After that first period it's almost been my mark not 'coming forward' Instead, I know a lot of the admin and elder wizards, by looks and name, but they (with one exception) have no clue who I am!

Some of the 'old' players I at least know by look are Gwendolyn, Qqqq, Anvil, Profezzorn... Hmmm, this is more suited in the Nostalgia part, right? Ok, I'll just tell you ONE piece of information... I'm about one year younger than Brom in RL, making me quite some years older than Snafu! I'm also working in IT (ooops, that was two pieces!!!).

Over and out...

[Kherec]

Not big on spilling the goods, but I suppose I can tell that I'm 27 years old and where I live is obvious from my Location: tag to your left

[Morild]

I see I am not the only player born in the good year of 1976
I can tell you that I am from Norway ( I actually live there too), I am female, married, and I have a wonderful 5 year old son.
Part of my work is IT related web-administrator, computer graphics etc.
I can also tell you... hmm .. nah.. some other time perhaps  

oh.. and if you want to see what I look like visit the picture gallery

Hey, I think I told this hundreds of times to everybody asking, but anyway...
I'm Cristina, I play from Trieste, Italy (as you can see in my profile) and i'm not in IT either, being a math teacher (in my profile as well)
No, im not going to tell my age (You dont expect a lady do that without lying, do you?), but I'm not a teenager as you can guess from my job and my pictures in snafu's gallery. Also from pictures you can guess i like outdoor activities like hiking, biking, skyiing... a lot Too bad i dont have a portable computer to mud during hike rests *evil grin*. I also like painting/drawing and i think you can find my gallery URL in a million of different places (not last that tiny www tag).
What else? I love nanny, got addicted to it, maybe because i love to make friends from all over the world. (And also because my RL friends are getting busier and busier with work, family, babies and stuff).

So did you learn anything new? i doubt it  

[Qwer]

Woo woo woo, do we really have women in Nanny?! *boggle*
We surely need more anyway.

Enjoyed to read about ya fellas, I just didn't find Ladychris' pictures. And that makes me sad. Very sad. I am very pleased to hear that you play from Italy, so there's more than those cold-hearted vikings in Nanny. (talking of Europe ...)
Hmm, I just realised I don't have any pictures. Had a few, who knows where they all went... can't manage to keep 'em.

[Snafu]

Actually, her pics are under one of her other characters, Loreley. As for pics...if anyone has pics they want others to see, go ahead and send them in. The more the merrier

Hi all  

For all those interested (yes both of you! ) here is some information about me. I'm in my early 30s and live in the south east of the UK, about a 30 minutes drive from the capital city of London. I've been married now for about 3 and a half years. Unfortunately, I've been very busy of late helping out my other half set up an online business, so I haven't been able to play Nanny as much as I would like.

However, I've just bought a new wireless laptop, so playing Nanny outside in the sunshine in the garden is a very tempting possibility (yes we do get sunshine in the UK occasionally!!)

If you want to see some pics etc. checkout the link in my profile.

Hey.

Some of you already know this information but I will post it anyway:

Here goes...I am 26 to be 27 in about 2 months...I work as a sysadmin for a small start-up company in IT services (doing all that involves networks and some OSes). I live in Bucharest, Romania and currently I study Computer Science in Politechnics University of Bucharest, short time studies (3 years). I am expected to graduate sometimes next year (05).

Any other info available upon request
Oh, and soon to be webage at 82.208.173.101 (not available atm, also no domain name yet)

Hoi,

Alright, here goes, briefly: I'm 27 now, from 1976 as well, and I was 18 when I started playing Nanny. I'm Dutch, living in Hoorn which is about 35 km above Amsterdam. I can call myself an IT'er as well, but I also studied psychology. Aaand, you can find pictures under my wizard Mirage if you want

Valdor.

Hmm Snafu, now I understand you talkign about people with modems.
I just came home to my parents (new passport, requesting working visa etc) so I'm just having an about 2-weeks holiday. Take a wild guess, I just happen to use a modem right now, a P (MMX!!   ) @ 233, 64 Mb ram, 28.8kbps modem connection. Jeez, this suxx0rz. Oh well, at least I can read my mail & stuff. It's better than nothing I guess ... fear modems.
Anyway it's still great to have it as I can keep in touch with my parents from Hungary ... (my mom actually, dad just seems to hate all that's new and unknown, he wouldn't touch a pc   )
A friend, you know him aswell, Wolfy, keeps calling me with all kind of problems (we work for the same company). Hehe, he's alone now, as I were without him last week ... so tehnology is great unless they call you from job during holidays.

I too was born in that awesome year of 1976, which for us United States citizens was the bicentennial year. (I know most of you come from countries that are waaaaaaaaaaaaay older but I'm proud of being born in 76). I've lived in Colorado most of my life from age 8 to the present save for the time I went to college (and majored in NannyMUD) and a brief time spent in the Army. Hooah! As most of you know I'm very patriotic and I especially care about the military servicemembers (from other countries as well).
My son, Nick, was born in Nov of 1999. That whole think is a story in itself. He's 4.5 and in preschool now.
Starting in August I *hopefully* will be majoring in Applied Computing and Digital Media Studies. This October I'll celebrate 10 years of being on Nanny.
