Ok well when I think of Nameks... I sort of relate them to Drow and Elves in the aging Process.
IE: A Drow grows to an adult in 20 or so years, and them lives for 500+
AmI to assume the same thing with Nameks?
I mean Guru was old as fuck, and so was Kami...
Reb: ya know
Reb: I think you're a fucking moron OOC
Reb: but I have to hand it to you
Reb: you've become a really great writer

Yeah, pretty much.
Humans get the shaft with their ~70-ish years. Even saiyans can live at least to 100 in good health and fitness. I think it's pretty heavily implied that namekians have an even more impressive lifespan.
Of course, Josh might come in, being the humongous nerd that he is, and bring up some niggling little detail that would enlighten even the creator of the series.
EDIT: Missed the point there. The niggling little detail would also prove me wrong.

Nope.
Namekians, at least the Chubbs variety since they are all warriors, age rapidly through adolescence into adulthood and then age slowly.
Pikkoro was not much older than Gohan during the Saiyajin saga.

Guru survived the "cataclysm" or whatever and repropagated the entire species, including the elders. Wasn't that over a span of several hundred years?
When in doubt: It was sarcasm.

Doesn't Chubbs age by our RL standards? So one year in our lives is one year in the RPG?

Fighting to the bitter end is an advantage when your opponent does not wish to perish.

That's mostly just up to interpretation and isn't a hard set rule. I don't think people care if its been a month for a six month period as long as you aren't suddenly going "Five years later" and trying to turn your character into the parent of a five year old training kid. Do like the cool kids and create a billionth time dimension for the kid to be stuck in instead! You can be unique just like everyone else!

Piccolo. Just the Japanese spelling, is all.
