We're a prolific bunch!

Whoohoo! I'm good! *struts*

[Jane]

Other things I've wanted to see if stuff like "how many crafters do we have of each craft"? Or "what is our breakdown of riders by color"? I love this sort of stuff.

If Suzee tells me what she can't get from the database I can do it by hand.

Apart from sheer geekishness I do this because I have a cat who likes to sleep in my arms, leaving only one hand free.  With one hand I can gather up all this data but can't really do anything much else.  So, all thanks to Ragdoll Sam (that's him as my userpic).

Thanks Sam! =D  ((And Jane! :P))  

317 posts? Thanks to all the people that coposted with  me =D It's all YOUUUUU... (okay, and a few solo posts that I wrote.)

I found these stats from 2003:

Stats as of 26th November 2003

    At present we have 45 members and 421 personas in the club, of which 101 are adoptable. That's an average of 7.11 personas per member.

    205 of those personas (48.69%) are female and 216 of those personas (51.31%) are male.

    156 (37.05%) are dragonriders.
    Colour percentages: 4.49% gold, 11.54% bronze, 17.31% brown, 19.87% blue, 46.79% green.

    140 (33.25%) are working crafters (i.e. crafters but not dragonriders).

    155 (36.82%) are neither crafters nor dragonriders.

    307 (72.92%) are 20 Turns or older.

Is this the sort of thing you're thinking of / remembering, Avery?  They certainly look like they popped off a database somewhere.

Yep, that's exactly the kind of thing I want one day! I might do it by hand if work ever calms down. I'm just curious what the most popular Craft that doesn't have a Crafthall is, or whether we have more blue riders than brown, etc.

[Heather]

Forum RPGs generally have what Avery is looking for. They call it a "census".




Examples:


Category | Male | Female | Totals
Greenrider | 13  | 34        | 47
Candidates | 22 | 27.        | 49
Harpers.     | 23 | 28


Etc

[Jane]

Ohh.  I especially like the one where it breaks down greenriders by gender ... though any sort of statistics / census appeals to me.  (Not a surprise by now, I suppose.)

That I CAN pull from the Database

The population data is interesting... I'm especially intreagued by the fact that our male/female split is statistically pretty close to real world populations, as is our dragon population by colour (theoretically?)

I'd love to know the mean/median ages too - we're heavilly skewed young, but how young? (for comparison's sake, our city report says that we're skewed younger and the average age is 32).

I am thinking that because of Thread and the fact that Pern is an agrarian society, it makes sense that the population is skewed to the younger. People work to hard and/or are put on harms way too often to make to old age.

Or because our writers prefer to write sexy young characters - or at the most sexy middle-aged characters.  :geek:

So here's one for you. I'll post more as I bend the data. Pretty much shows that we have too many bronzes!

Ohh, graphs!

gold = 9
bronze = 32
brown = 21
blue = 32
green = 54 (37 female riders)

I'm a bit surprised how popular blue is and how comparatively lean we are on browns.  Does Triad work to a particular 'ideal' colour ratio?

Thanks, Suzee.

And another one you asked for. This is a census of all personas by age:
