Planetarion: Feel The Fury!

Planetarion is more than an online game, it's a community.

Now, close your eyes and try to imagine what the average Planetarion player looks like. You might imagine that it would be a white male, about high school age, with a bad complexion (from staying inside all the time) He's probably a bit overweight (doesn't get much exercise) and wears glasses (ruined his eyes glaring at a computer monitor 22 hours a day).

Well, that's a bit of an over-simplification. There are a goodly number of women that play PA (like Lily) and there are people who far beyond the teen age bracket. I thought that at 42 I would be pretty close to the oldest PA player, but there is another Fury officer who is 47, and another who is a grandmother. There is someone in my galaxy who is in his 60s, and he's from Texas and he reminds me of Big Tom from last year's Survivor TV show.

And then there's this fellow, another Fury officer:

Another untapped Planetarion demographic - psychopathic British bikers!
