Paradox players, who are you ? (was Off topic)

[Yellowjacket]

I've been on this forum for a couple of years now, and played almost everything released in that time. One thing that I'm always amazed at is the high caliber of discussion on these forums. Most arguments are logical, and even when people get pissed they usually refrain from the kind of screeching matches typical of an internet forum.

My conclusion is that PI simply MUST have the smartest fanbase around. It would almost have to be to appreciate these levels of learning curve in a game.

I'm just taking a curious survey... if you're a real fan of PI games, give a bit of info about yourself. Age, job, location would probably do. Oh, and why not your favorite PI game? I'd ask for income level but thats getting a bit nosy.

I'm betting that we're going to see an audience that is older and more educated than your typical World of Warcraft fan. I'll even speculate we'll have a disproportionate number in the hard sciences or engineering fields... if enough people answer I'll compile the stats and share what I find!
