Strange New Worlds

[Malenfant]

I just did. If that doesn't satisfy you then tough luck. You've got a long history of persistently and obsessively badgering me and not getting the hint to back off - frankly, you are stalking me (though of course you'd never admit it).

So I'll say it one last time - back the hell off, and stop derailing threads to pester me about this. I certainly do not have to explain or justify why I post here to anyone, least of all you. I also don't really care if you accept the answer I've given you - next time you attempt to do this I will be reporting you.

Now let's get back to the actual thread topic, please.

Agreed on both counts - as the rules stand, neither Pop 0 nor Pop 1 can equal 1-9. So, as I said, it's a question of interpretation.

If you want to take a step into MT, check out pg. 22 of the Ref's Manual. You'll see Pop Code 0 = 0-9 people there as well.

MT!? In a CT forum? I cry foul!

Dammit, now look what you've done, I'm getting all grognardy ...

That's just hilarious. You're the one stalking me, and then you've got the gall to report me for calling you on it and telling you to back off? What are you reporting me for, exactly - not answering your incessant questions? Or maybe for the crime of trying to keep the thread on-topic? Hell, all you've ever done is try to bait me on this board ever since you first showed up, apparently because you'd taken offence when I offered some advice on realism in a thread you posted on rpgnet.

But fine, if you want it that way then so be it.

Populations below the millions are probably quite variable over time...

...and I tend to sift through UWPs created, rather than just take them all as they are.

Pack it in, you two, or I'll slap the pair of you.

Chalk it up to yet another rules inconsistency, I guess?

Why the hell would you have a perfectly habitable garden world with only 3 people on it (then again, why the hell would you have a tiny airless rockball with 10 billion people on it right nextdoor)?

Why do all of those people crowd into Hong Kong and Japan when Cambodia and Laos have all that empty space?

There must be some social factors beyond the basic Size, Atmosphere, Hydrographics that affects their decision.

I always liked the simplicity of the Pop code being the exponent of 10 with Pop 0 = 10^0 = 1 of people (as in 1-9 people, since 10 = 10^1 = Pop 1).

Zero people is easier to determine from all of the other zeros in the Profile - like Gov, LL, TL, etc. Five people at TL 9 in a corporate government is easier to imagine than Five hunter-gatherers with a "family ties" government having an entire planet to themselves.

But to each his own.
