	SMAC Forum Age Survey Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I've heard that Civilization players are considerably older than those who primarily play SMAC. I think it would be interesting to find out the average age of SMACer. Hope this hasn't been done anytime soon.

Apolyton Administration is running an age survey at Apolyton/Community:Apolyton AGE Survey

So far the results are:

Under 11 0 0%
11-17 19 12.84%
18-24 63 42.57%
25-34 37 25.00%
35-49 25 16.89%
Over 50 4 2.70%

total 148

I somehow missed hitting the poll option and I can't even delete the post because I'm supposedly not logged in even though I am

Make another thread, no matter how annoying it can be, at least gives you a bigger post count!

We could just go for a manual poll. I'm 34.

But that would disclose information some people would like to keep private! I for instance would like to see how many people are there in each group WITHOUT actually disclosing my age. It may seem a lot to ask but privacy is privacy!

C'mon, Cybergod. What does it matter if people know your age? Maybe we should post pictures of ourselves as we would like people to think that we look.

I'm 33.

Why is it that only those in their early 30's are willing to disclose?

OK. I scewed up the poll . But what do you expect from Chieftain?

I guess we can go manual then. And you can "see how many people are there in each group WITHOUT actually disclosing my age" Cybergod. Just don't say it. Although some people might feel that you're just a drone for not telling us your age

I'm 18...and I feel young in here! Have to love this forum...

The average is (after 6 posts) 33 years. I knew Civ genre was for mature gamers, but I had no idea . No wonder why is this such a civilized place to discuss, no adolescent influence...except Shai-Hulud

Yes, we are! I'm 37, and my wife says I'm still immature!

Anyways, I saw the age poll skewing in the wrong direction from me, so I thought I'd bump it back in my direction a little bit....

Yeah. There are about 15 Finns here according to thread I saw few months ago, that's about 0.088 percent of the Apolyton population . We're definitely taking this place over!

Seeing my age doesn't end with a 'teen' does that put me in the exclusive mature gamer club?

And, I'm happy to say that I bring the average below 30, to 29.6666667

Ooohh... this 29.6666667 is actually my somewhat exact age (29.6328767 to be precise). But whe Cyber"god" came in, I was thrown over the average

Now it is 20. And there are two unconfirmed cases and two Honourary Finns.

Yeah, the annoying thing is, I was born in 9th of December. Two of my friends are already 16.

Unconfirmed cases? They don't want to admit they're Finns? What is a Honourary Finn? Can you actually accomplish more in life than just plain finnishness!?
