Unofficial Race Census

[Faelin]

So... Another thread that is what it says on the tin.

Just to get a rough idea of which races are overrun with players, and which are in short supply.
I know this will not be exactly accurate, but usually forum-active people are more active in-game anyway, so everything is fine!

This will be open for one month, and I'll bump the thread at the end to clarify results.

Incidentally, I'm going to regularly bump this thread to keep it alive for a month...

Who needs theoretical probability when you can have the real thing?!

Yay for race censuses!

Yay for race censuses!

All's going well so far... Four people have voted, and all four are within the most common races!

 

[Seth_Jenkins]

5...
And when did Dwarves become common

 

[Faelin]

5...
And when did Dwarves become common

5 now.

And since they were made one of the core races in lots of RPGs...
EDIT: Also, I meant theoretically should be one of the most common...

We arn't as common here though!
Our beards are much longer and pristine see...

Elves currently have four out of seven votes... Interesting.

That's because they are one of the most common races, coupling with Humans

 

[Faelin]

I think I shall wait for a bit... And then take a look at how the votes are looking.

I find it funny how Elves and Humans are squared, when logically speaking there would be MANY MANY MANY more Humans than Elves. Why you might ask? Well the simple answer is Humans live shorter.

Elves have more time to *ahem* make little babby elves? >.>

There's a flaw in your reasoning. If humans live shorter, but reproduce at the same speed as Elves, there'd be many more Elves, because of the simple fact they live longer. So why are there more humans? Because they reproduce more, and that is caused by not getting too old.

Yet they need not spread as fast in order to stop their race from dying.

If you're of a different race, can ye possible explain it? (remember one needs permission from certain staff members to play a non-standard character)

As far as I know, it's pretty much some Demons, an Automaton (Baron) and a Phoenix (Inferno), but I could be wrong...

 

[Backstay]

Dwarves for the win.

 

[Seth_Jenkins]

Dwarves for the win.

There's only around 6 of us...although we are all forum active....

 

[Backstay]

We win.

 

[Faelin]

Humans now have a lead of five... Very interesting...
