I wonder if somehow you can calculate the average age of users, I bet there are very few 30+ people in here, at least compared to us youngins.

There is a few over 30s, I believe

Post by: Mad_Fred on August 26, 2009, 10:47:32
 :P

That's not the forum then, just this thread.

I think you'll be surprised at the actual average age. I bet it is a lot higher than you guys might think.

It's just that the older guys don't post as much nonesense  :evil:  ..or post as often at all..  ;D  ;D

I reckon the 'gamer' is much more active on the forum here, and the 'working/retired maritime professional' spends more time playing missions.  :)


oh. and I'm 32.  :P
Title: Re: how old are you?
Post by: The Ferry Man on August 26, 2009, 10:49:58
True

So the Average Age is now 18

I am 42 and have been playing naval and maritime games since Microprose released Silent Service way back on the Commodore 64... ouch that was 25 years ago!

It's nice to see that their are so many young players here, often it is said that the youth of today only want fast action games, and would not touch a simulation game with a barge pole, it's good to see you younger guys guys prove them wrong.

As Fred has said, you might be very surprised to know what the average age of forum members happens to be. It is just, as he says, that we "Crumblies" spend time playing missions, which is the purpose of the game, and not posting inane comments in order to get a big total of posts. One only has to look at the symbols for ranking to see this. If you add my age into your sums to get the average it will shoot up nearly off the chart. ::) A simple bit of research will give you my age. :-X

Post by: IRI5HJ4CK on August 26, 2009, 13:50:57
Speaking of Which..I'm doing a mission right now! :)

Also, I don't see how Missions are the whole point of the game. I always was an MP fanatic and that was the best experience I've ever had with Ship Simulator! :)

I view it differently...That MP Is the main point of the game. MP is what gave the community it's backbone originally, I believe.

Apologies for going off-topic, but I'll just explain. Firstly, anything I say here doesn't effect Nathan or Jack, just want to make that clear. They're nice guys, played with the two of you ages ago (briefly), and wanted to organise some tug stuff with you two, so this is nothing against you 2. :)

However, I always thought the main age on the forum was about 12 to be honest. Don't get me wrong, as it's obvious who the older members are (both in terms of age, and maturity), but I lost interest in trying to take part here when I saw that basically every thread was about a new 'shipping line' opening it's own forum. Also seeing other members just being plain a***'s to newer members (who might not necessarily know about the search feature for instance, might be new to the internet generally for instance), by coming across as an arrogant know-it-all, well I just stopped wanting to take part here.
Regarding the question of age, I'll be honest and say that for me, I don't feel comfortable writing my opinions on things like features I'd like to see in the future etc etc, because I know that only a handful of people replying are actually of the same age. I don't just mean the years I've been alive there, I'm also referring to 'basic maturity', and I know there's a lot here, but by the time I stopped posting here regularly, it was just awful to be honest.

I have to say though, none of this ruins my enjoyment of the game, and I can't wait for the next one. I'll hopefully get to know some of the more mature members online one day, but I'm really busy, and usually only get on after work (2am UK time!). So Jack/Nathan, if you organise a tug competition again soon, drop me a PM and I'll see if I'm free as I'd love to take part. :)

Then why post that nonsense here if the question is "How old are you?"

Anway, on all fansites & Youtube where you registered your age is displayed as 22.  Once some time ago on some fansite I saw your age was 13. I'm sure the later is the max. age that you could be.

With the average age of a bloke in Western Europe (and Britain) being 75... and you guessed a 5 year age range, you have a 1:15 chance of being right... But also a 14:15 chance of being wrong.

Your wit is only funny when it's said for the first time. 
Repetition of one & the same usually causes boredom & lack of attention...


The average life expectancy for a bloke in the Western world is 78... so whatever age you come up with has a 1.28% chance of being correct.

You have guessed a 10 year (11, really) margin so there is a 12.82% chance you are correct... But also a 77.18% chance you are wrong. Your call.
