Well there is many young players ,most of them are 20 or 30. I think this normal , if you add in that teenagers are probly doing homework or something crazy. *remembers his days as a freshman, being tired,less hungry and mixing pixy-sticks with his lemon tea* I didn't think my post would grow into this ,but i certainly appreciative of all the random people who came on and shouted how old they were.(After all ,its easy to find where they live if you find their IP, which is why you need to be careful on Minecraft free version) Most of the people I talked to were knowledgeable, or radicals , or smug on their power. Which do you think you are? Did I see a 16 year old player?

20, politics student, left-wing opinions. Stereotypical like a boss!

Young, American, liberal.

Thought you had to be 12 or 13 to join?

Middle-class, probably autistic teenage boys who know everything about politics.

And some bored university students with too much alcohol and no real life friends to share it with.

Idk, probably not a whole lot like my oxymoronic personality.

Well, I'm a 23 year old accountant fresh out of grad school. I joined NS at the tender age of 17.

I'm 28. I'm going to get married soon.

Well, if NS is used by schools, I'd assume that draw the average age down quite a bit.

Personally 21, social liberal, naturalist.

A dribbling fat nerd in his parents' basement, braiding his neckbeard while eating day old dominos pizza off the top of his computer. Guaranteed to be white, and American.

There are too many axes, and the sigmas are too wide, for an "average" to be an actually useful concept.

It's hard to say what the average NS player is. I really only hang out in General which isn't representative of all players. I get the impression that there are far more monarchists and military-dictatorship types in the roleplay forums, but what with the way they role-play and all it's hard to tell if that's their real preference.

General is left-of-center economically I think (though only in US terms, by European terms the median poster would be a centrist). On social issues, the median poster is more liberal (ie, would permit) than any country on earth. I'd also say that internet users as a whole are more liberal than most countries.

As to age, there have been "what's your age?" polls here in General.

I would suggest adding a poll to this thread, but ... I thought I could do it better so I made a new thread with poll.

14-28, left-leaning, socialist

Meh, most NSer's are younger than that. I'd say 20 is closer to the average age as a guess.

I'd also say we should try age polling further from the summer time.

by **Keronians** » Sat Dec 10, 2011 10:59 am

16, and quite interested in politics and economics.

I still remember your poll.

Yeah. I should have waited until the middle of September when all the bored teenagers decided they had homework to do instead of running around here.

I can be pretty much summed up as a 20yr old nutty Scotswoman who works as a hairdresser.

by **Genivaria** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 1:18 pm

20 considered the mature one by friends.

by **Umbra Ac Silentium** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 1:35 pm

The average NS player is somebody who will never amount to much.

This. Perhaps even less.

The most common age is probably in high school somewhere (16 perhaps?), but there are enough older players I figured I'd bump up my average a couple years.

So what is the average Nationstates player?
