Future threads planned every seven months:

• October 2017 (this thread)
• May 2018
• December 2018
• July 2019
• February 2020
• etc

Usual terms:

• The poll will run for two weeks. If your birthday is in the range October 14 to October 27 (ie in that 2 weeks) then vote whichever option you prefer.
  
• If you post an age in the thread, make sure you also vote in the poll. If you post an age and DON'T vote, your entry will cancel out in the bar graph I make. But of course you can vote without posting an age (or posting at all) in the thread.
  
• I make bar graphs of the estimated number of posters of each year of age, and edit those into this post (the Original Post). The estimates are more accurate if many posters state their age in years. There is no need to state an exact birthday.
  
• Some time late in the poll period I will estimate median and average ages of posters.

With seven month timing instead of five months, posters will still complain they're the same age as last time. But now they can't complain twice.

I am 29 of your "Earth" years.

16

I'm the crusty and dusty age of 27 years old.

I have endured and survived 17 rotations of the planet we call Earth orbiting a star known to humanity as the ‘sun’, which is located in an insignificant part of the galaxy in an insignificant galaxy in an indifferent universe, the origin of which eludes humanity now and forever.

11

Hmm, there's no poll option, I would advise checking to see if your are below the age required to view the forums.

Anyway, my compositional form of carbon and other elements has lasted through 13 rotations of the third rock from Sol around my native star.

I am 22 right now. But two weeks from sunday I will be 23

I have 19 Christmasses under my belt.

Twenty-six in two weeks. Kind of makes me want to die.

Isn't there some kind of international shenanigan that requires you to be 13 or have parents' permission or supervision to have internet accounts? Or is that no longer a thing?

19, got my quarter-life crisis to look forward to in the next few years!

On this site you have to be 13 or above, no exceptions

Just turned 18 last August. Being major is kinda disappointing, honestly.

My ignorant ass has been on this fucked up planet for 18 years.

So how do 52 years on the planet feel for you?

I’m 6. JK (so I allege)

Why is it better to be older (in the poll it says 41 or better)

Oh wow Sir, you're decades older than me.. How did you find Nationstates? It's kinda cool..

Because 41 is 28 away from 69. 41 minus 1 is 40. 28 minus 1 is 27. 27 divided by 3 is 9. 9 plus 10 is 21.

LOGIC.

I am 33.
And my nation is 14.

I'm turning 23 on the 24th, so I'm just gonna say 23 now so I don't have to remember later.

I turned 16 about two months ago

The ripe young age of 13, 12 the first time i joined.

Can't ban me for age now mods.

I'm 20 years and seven months old, joined about eight years and a month ago (whoops, just self-incriminated). But yeah, looking at this thread made me realise how long I've been on NationStates and how much I have changed since I was "13" years old...
