Title: Who are these guys?
Post by: BBQ_Bob on January 21, 2003, 07:02:20 PM: Hello there
I have been playing for a few months now and it seem to me that most of the other players are adults and not kids. What would you guys say is the average age?

P.S.
I love this game.

Post by: BNM on January 21, 2003, 07:20:03 PM: Good question. I'm 43. I would guess the average to be somewhere in the upper 30s. But that's only a guess... HT might know???

If Octavious is 82 then he has discovered the secret to stop the aging process. I've seen his picture and read about his recent football injuries....is that an "old-timers" football league?;)

A few years ago, we did an age survey in an Air Warrior-related Newsgroup, and the average age was 37..... I imagine it will be about the same now. :)

Post by: hogenbor on January 22, 2003, 08:26:43 AM: I'm 31 and project manager of a software test team which tests in car navigation systems.

In weekends I usually go to rock concerts and jump up and down together with people in the 16-25 age bracket :) I have a pierced eyebrow as well and sometimes dye my remaning hair blue. Although my colleagues tend to take my work seriously, the same doesn't apply to me AT ALL.

Never grow up!

Title: Who are these guys?
Post by: BBQ_Bob on January 22, 2003, 10:54:55 AM: It seems to me that one of the reasons the average age is 30 something is because this is a pay for play. And at about .50 cents aday its ok by me.
Title: Who are these guys?
Post by: TracerX on January 22, 2003, 11:10:17 AM: Age? Uh... I forget. My wife keeps track of that for me. I stoped counting at 32. She reminds me once a year however that I'm getting older by baking an edible memorial and putting candles on it and inviting all our friends over to mock me durring its unveiling. Last time there were 35 candles on the cake. It is good to know that I am still younger then at least half of the people in here.

Hey you oldtimers out there, are you supposed to get alsheimers in your 30's?

Post by: medicboy on January 22, 2003, 11:35:55 AM: Ok, my wife is giving me crap because I'm still playing "kids" games. I'm 28, and they wrote the Kids-r-us song after me. I have to be an adult and take charge at work, what's wrong with playing some games on my off time. (Work as a paramedic) I see way too much serious crap at work to not want to live a little.

On the youngest player, I think my son has you all beat. He will be 8 months on the 24th and loves to sit on my lap an push buttons, and yank and bank. Sure screws up my ranking though, so rember when you see "medicboy shot you down" I'm doing it 1 handed with a baby on my lap!!!!!!!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL.... well, allowing for the fact some older players may have stopped for various reasons, and younger players come along in the meantime, I would guess the average age could still be around 37; however, I suppose if the survey was 3 years ago, it could be more like 40 now. Would be interesting to find out. :)
