Nope, all of my great-granparents were from the Netherlands, and my grandparents were born in the US. Sadly, my father knows no Dutch. |

While at first I too felt a bit out of place for being significantly (from my perspective only) older than many of the Comrades who have taken the census thus far, I certainly don't want to encourage a false notion that a player must be at or below a certain age, lest they feel somehow embarrassed for that fact or any less a part of the DSA than they were before. There's no need or reason for one's age to be perceived as a barrier of any kind to participation. NS is a shared community experience, and in our DSA in particular, it is a place to learn and to grow as a person on many levels beyond mere entertainment. Keep in mind that we propagate intellectual discussion of all kinds, the free flow of RL information that is interesting and relevant to players from all over the planet, and real connections to individuals while transcending conventional (and may I say, anachronistic) social barriers of normal person-to-person communication using this relatively anonymous interface which allows like-minded people to find and relate to each other based upon shared ideologies, interests, passions, talents and abilities. Similar gaming constructs (just talking socially here; not so much the learning and growing bit ) that comes to mind are the 'fantasy football leagues' that are ubiquitous throughout North America of which include millions of people of all ages and walks of life. I have yet to meet anyone who plays fantasy football who thinks their age should affect their ability to play or enjoy the games, or make them feel any more or less at home among other players (well, unless they are fans of an inferior team that is ). Frankly, I'd much rather spend time and effort building friendships and connections with people based upon those things we value in the DSA than upon the shared interest of professional sports/athletes (not passing judgment, just my own preference since I'm not into sports all that much).Just something to think about for those of the relatively older set of NS players here who may share this age concern; which will hopefully ease your minds a bit and allow you to continue enjoying NS today and tomorrow just as much as you did before you learned of a fraction of the DSA's demographic makeup. |
