Clearly, those of us young people who play DF have been so infected by it we can't possibly place schoolwork/jobs ahead of (re)checking the DF forums.  :D

I'm 14, started playing DF 4-5 months ago.
Also, I am quite surprised that so many who are 17 and under plays this game.
I'm pretty sure none of my friends would like it.



Exactly. This is why I am so surprised about this poll. Weird..not to mention that only 6 people are older than 36 from the voters?  :o

Damn am I the youngest... I am 12 turning 13 next year and all my friends make fun of me because the dwarfs are smiles and the game is in ASCII graphics.
But Dwarf fortress is the best game ever

But I am a lot more mature then 12...

(still can't believe I am the youngest...)

I'm 22, but am usually mistaken for anything up to about 35 if I don't shave for a couple of weeks; If I wasn't 5' 11 I could probably find myself accidentally elected Mayor of Boatmurdered.
I'm actually surprised to see so many under-25s on the list; I'm the youngest person I know who can use the phrase, "Roguelike Dungeon Keeper-style game with heavy D&D influence" and understand what it means, let alone how awesome something like that would be. (I realise that summary doesn't come close to doing DF justice, but it's the best I've come up with so far.)

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

I'm 17, my friends also laugh at me for playing Dwarf fortress. Oh how little they know. I will be the one laughing at them when dwarf fortress becomes compulsory in 95% of the world and Toadyone is the ultimate leader of the know universe.

Most of my friends in my year detest DF and simply ignore me if I talk about it.
Strangely, my friends in the year above love it.
