Do you want those statistics now or just before zine issue? All suggested statistics can be calculated (I have only one doubt - what "Most isolated" means?).

For that matter, tea and coffee? Never seen either in game, and the Wiki articles are stubs.
And bronze. Does anyone bother to make it?
Yeah, I'm picking at random too.

Maybe isolated means having met ( - renamed) the least amount of people, but it needs to be balanced by age somehow.

The deadline for the next issue is June 1st, so some time around then would probably be good in order to keep it current. HF, who does the articles, has been off my radar, but he's the one to talk to.
Thanks.

Isolated = Most locations by land away from another Cantrian? It would dissregard the whole "ocean" thing, but it's a thought. Least other people seen in the last five/ten years could work too.

I've winged an e-mail of to the very nice people of the ProgD with most of the requests here, and a couple of my own. Not all will be easy to pull-out, but they usually have a trick or two up their sleeves
And Seeks:

I did that in one of the first articles, on 'Cantr fashion' - bone jewelery came out tops, alongside hide-based clothes, if I rewmember rightly - it's the stats of the second edition (I think)

I do remember that, but it didn't give specifics for the rare items. I've never seen dress loafers in game, exept for that buggy project sitting on Reniov mountains so it would be cool to have a list of the most rare items, like we had the list of furniture. It was way cool finding out your town has the only bench in the world. Now there's probably more of them.

I'm just typing up the last of this issue, and have been going back through this thread.
I've realised there are a few requests I missed, quite a few actually.
Anyway, what I have got is more than enough to be getting on with. But, please, keep suggestions coming. I like it this way, it means I have to think less

how do you get a password to log in to the webzine? I haven't figured that out. (i've tryed my cantr password and number thing but that didn't work)

You don't need a password to read it. Just click on the link in the Issue 5 introduction for the contents of that issue, or "Contents" in the upper left corner to access all the back issues.
The password box used to work for signing in to the actual game. Pity that went away when the layout was changed.

A little bit of advice please.
I make a lot of references to many charts and pictures throughout my stats articles, which clearly are not text-to-speech accessible.
How do I go about compensating for this - more description in the discussion of the chart? Information in the ALT text (if so, what?)
Any suggested websites for more info would be much appreciated.

I think the alt attribute is normally used for that kind of thing, but as for what to put in it, as I'm not visually impaired I don't know what to suggest

I think it's got to be more description. There once was a program which claimed to convert graphs to some meaningful thing, but it obviously didn't work as it's no longer available. I can't think the alt.txt thingy can help much, but I'm no expert on that.
You could try looking at the web accessibility initiative site, www3.wai and see what that has to say, or
www.rnib.org.uk/digital
but don't be over optimistic.
Happy that you're thinking about it.
