Cantr Demographics

Hi, I don't know how easy (or difficult) getting this info would be, but I'd like to see some Cantr demographics...

e.g: The age distribution of the population,
life expectancy (do characters die of 'old age' in Cantr?)
male/female ratios

And from a social perspective, is it possible to get a list of all current projects that are being worked on? It'd be interesting to see how many are 'primary' - in that they are simply gathering raw materials, and how many are manufacturing something...

Some statistics:

Male 67.7 %
Female 32.2 %

20 - 29: 70.4 %
30 - 39: 18.2 %
40 - 49: 8.4 %
50 - 59: 2.4 %
60 - 69: 0.4 %

Nobody died yet of old age.

On projects I have no statistics. And I cannot think of other statistics that are not confidential

...

Like I Thought - you're lucky to live past 30...

Nothing like a nice set of statistics...

Not lucky...characters living past 30 is 'rare' because many players don't play long enough, so their little 'men in their 20's' drop over dead before 30. Having trouble surviving 10 years probably means you:
-spawned in one of the intermittant hell zones (governmental or animal)
-got hit by a random massacre
-IC or OOC did not behave 'reasonably' to stay alive

Note that that last rolls in thieves, pirates, people who insult certain groups, and people who join millitaries and wind up getting killed.

Just stumbled across the stats page for the Cantr II site, interesting to see where everyone's coming from...

*points at 'Leeds University' at 17:00*

That's me... That's me...

Oh...

No one here cares...

I wonder why so little people want female characters when there is no difference in their effectiveness. Well maybe the annoyance in the form of drooling men but you learn to live with that.

I don't know... I try to keep an equal number of male and female characters, although I only have one female character at the moment, due to my others being killed off... :cry:

Might be due to the fact that many men might feel unsure about RPing a female charcter, and vice versa...

I'd be keen to see what the Male/Female breakdown of players is too...

I prefer to role play the sex that I am. I haven't gotten bold enough yet to role play the opposite sex. Maybe someday but I think women can role play women a lot better than I can. Hell, I wouldn't even no where to start if I was role playing a woman.

"Hell, I wouldn't even no where to start if I was role playing a woman."

Oh man... that's just sexist joke bait...

I actually was going to say something until I read your post, boomhauer.

There are that many more men than women? Wow. I try to keep an even number myself, but now that I think about it I actually have two more guys than gals at the moment. Herm.

Could there be any chance of seeing when are the peaks for most people being online daily? With this screwed up day rythm of mine I get to see a different side of things but still it seems everybody logs in any time, I'm now playing with a person whom I normally see in the evening and now it's early morning in here. Same thing with Pirog, now I should figure if he's Swedish then how come he can be sometimes posting stuff on the forum when it's damn early in the morning there? Or are we all Cantring around the clock?

*sings" We're going to cantr - around - the clock tonight..."

Yes, I think most people do check it throughout the day.

And night? Well at least me nowadays, anything between early afternoon to early morning.
