Wow. I'd never have dreamed that Dom Hofran would've grown so much! It was only one person for like 40-50 years or something!

_1            78.8724 = 2.6 months
_2            44.8391 = 1.5 month
_3            61.6385 = 2.1 months

126.4726      Killed by a character
190.6022      Killed by PD
146.3367      Unsubbing
_83.3554      Animal attack
_39.0928      Account timed out
_96.1091      Starvation



This wasn't asked but I think the above statistics may have raised some questions about how frequently things happened, so here's the breakdown.

Code: Select all

Count      Death cause
---------------------------------
_10967     Killed by a character
  1566     Killed by PD
_14124     Unsubbing
  4659     Animal attack
117449     Account timed out
_54719     Starvation


c) The oldest body that hasn't been placed in a burial project is a Hienrik Barlabo, died of starvation on day 2797. But this body is just about to expire, so the answer would be different each day.

As for bodies in burial projects, those do not expire, so the oldest burial project was started day 614. That's before I even started playing the game, woah! The poor fella is Rick Wout, Dutch, last date 589. Cause of death or death date weren't recorded back then.

About a month ago, one of my characters buried a body whose project had begun sometime around 1484.

I'd hate to see what you would do if some of my characters that have gone or go by multiple names wound up in this thread.

Thanks so much, Seko! So, it seems that just like in the real world, Swedes are long-lived. Must be their ability to avoid confrontation. :-)

I also note with interest that people who let their account time out lose interest in the game very quickly, it seems, whereas it takes almost ten cantr years to tick off the PD enough to have them can you....

Still unburied after 130 years? Yowch! There must be some deadly pestilences incubating in that town.

No, the least! Only 1566 chars. Timing out killed the most.

:shock: I didn't know this could happen! What exactly do you have to do to get killed? (So I know not to do it.)

Either major CRB or in some cases just providing a good reason as to why you should get a character/characters culled and starvation or suicide would be out of the question. I've gotten three characters killed by asking nicely but they don't usually do that.

Would it be possible to search out something in physical descriptions? Like how many people have blonde hair, or red eyes? I seem to see a lot of them...
When people tell me that great minds think alike, all I can do is look at them and think "oh you dirty, dirty bastard"

I've tried that in the past but free text search is a bit problematic because it can lead to false positives.

There are 348 that have blond(e) or fair hair, I don't know if anyone actually used fair hair but I was taught in school that that means light color. This might include also dead people.

There are 567 people with black/raven or dark hair.

572 with brown or chestnut hair.

Only 195 with red or auburn hair or being a redhead/red head.

470 with blue eyes.

360 with green eyes.

290 with brown eyes.

85 with hazel eyes.

48 with dark eyes.

34 with black eyes.

27 with red eyes.

9 with yellow or golden eyes.

81 with piercing something. When it's Cantr, it's more likely to be gaze or eyes rather than a physical piercing.

Only 217 with a mention of beard or m(o)ustache.

Thank goodness English is such a simple language.
