There were even global admins which are 14 years old, so that argument of age is not really true. It is true however that older people often stay longer in their position, which is probably normal because younger people have to leave their home, find a work etc. for the first time in their life.

BTW....what globals are over 40 besides the newly hired Bell? Where do you get your information from?
Or should I say, what globals are pretending to be over 40 (not sure what you are implying because of your wording)?

Bell is only 20, she is laughing at us all.

Nah only joking. I quizzed her like hell when I first found out her age a long time ago, I think I know her life story now haha.

The tradeoff is kids have nothing better to do after the homework's done, but have to go see Aunt Margret in the middle of a Graal Emergency. Contrariwise adults have the rent to pay and significant others to try and date, but they can choose when to visit family members. Little a column A, little a column B.

excaliber7388 02-18-2007 09:17 PM

And how many active users over 35 are not globals?
Age != maturity

Sam is over 40? Bwahahha, now I know why he is angry all the time. Life passed him by.

She administrates the forums. Not Graal online, which would be a global position. Oy.

There you go Rufus.

The poll where Sam voted that way.

Anyway, Sam being over 40 explains a lot. >_<

You quoted it when you closed a thread the other day...

Remember that Graal's userbase consists a lot of young teenagers, and such subjects should not be discussed here.

How is that statement incorrect? It doesn't say the majority are young teenagers, or even that most of the userbase are teenagers. It is just a reminder that a lot of young teenagers do play this game.

I was thinking the same thing. Sam hasn't done this poll as he is on vacation. I am confused as well. Maybe the other poll like this done a little while ago?

Yeah I'm sure on that other poll he said he was under 12 or something.

Oh well, it's not like it matters.

Also I really do think Graal should hold a poll...just for fun and for the sake of statistics.

Standard Deviation is evil :(

Don't care, I don't appreciate stuff getting uploaded over my head under Any circumstances, particularly not quest-vital items such as fullhearts, L3swords, and the nukeshot-or-equivalent. Nor boots that (despite angry insistence the wallcheck was perfect) let you walk through walls. Nor a trident that (despite even angrier claims that Stefan would fire me if I tried to edit the code) would place bush-stumps over walls and let people bypass entire quests. Nor the Totally Balanced Invincibility Boots. Nor a lot of things.

But it's quite beyond debate that he WAS 14.

I don't think we have that many...but a lot of people do come on every once in awhile.

Zorro 02-23-2007 10:13 PM

I will be 23 next month. I was I think 14 or 15 when I started graal though.

konidias 02-23-2007 10:20 PM

I'm glad this poll got a lot of voters. It proves at least somewhat that the majority of at least the forumgoers are 18 or older. (even if a handful of people lied)

Maybe we'll get lucky and the staff/administration who think that the majority of Graal are young teens will change their opinion. It's worth a shot anyway. (and yes Darlene, that's what was implied in that line from the rules, it was just worded poorly) Even if it was actually worded to say that "a lot" of Graal's userbase are young teenagers, I think the results of this poll at least bring up a valid argument to the contrary.

But you have no idea of the age group of people who view the forums, but do not post, or rarely post.

I have no idea? I have a better idea than someone who is taking a wild guess.

In fact, it's safe to assume that they fall in the same age range as the posters who voted. I mean logic will tell you that if the majority of the people who voted are 18 or over, then the majority of people who haven't voted are most likely also 18 or over.

Why do you think people get away with those "the american public" polls? They poll like 3000 people over the phone. I would hardly consider that everyone in North America. But they are allowed to poll so few people because you're getting a general idea with those numbers.

This is not like voting for the president where one state might be filled with democrats. This is a community of people interested in Graal. The majority of the community falls into a specific age group, and that age group is not "young teens".

I don't see how it can be made any more clear. Other than literally verifying everyone's age.

Actually it is.

You fail to comprehend what everybody else understands.

Just because Graal is aimed towards young teens doesn't mean just young teens play the game or frequent the forums. Most of the people I've met are 16 or older.
