I was wondering to myself recently, what kind of demographic plays dwarf fortress? 
I can hazard a guess, and say white males inbetween the ages of 18 and 35, mostly nerdy college students. (like me)
 We should post, though, to see just what kind of sick, twisted people play this game:
please post your:
gender:
age:
race:
profession: i.e. college student, unemployed, small animal dissector. . .
social class:
perferred sock color:
favorite way to kill a goblin:

I will begin, *Ahem*
gender: male
age: 21
race: white
profession: college student
social class: upper middle class nerd
prefered sock color: grey
favorite goblin killing technique: weapon traps with spiked balls

Thank you for your input.
