You all may be familiar with the (rather innacurate) "if the world was one village of 100 people?" chain emails that were going around a few years back.  Well, what if the worldgen was one village?

What if the worldgen was one village of 100 sentients?

There would be 8 goblins
There would be 7 humans
There would be 9 dwarves
There would be 74 elves
There would only be one megabeast...

There would be 12 men and 13 women
There would be 74 androgenous
There would be one tentacle creature who's gender is too horrific to imagine

There would be 14 children...
...12 of them would be in abject poverty
...12 of them would have no parents
...7 of them would look like a fearsome warrior
...1 of them would be "rescued" from goblin captivity and have over 13 kills

6 people would live in houses
8 people would live in a giant under ground cube
85 people would live in a dark fortress
1 person would stubbornly live in a forest retreat along with a vast collection of trophies

6 people would worship the dwarven pantheon
5 would worship the human pantheon
33 would worship the megabeast
56 would have forgotten which god they worship during worldgen

2 people would be miners
4 would be craftspeople
12 would carry things around for a living
90 would be warriors but only 10 of them would have weapons and only 3 of them would have armor
3 people would be bedridden with toe related injuries.
One would be a noble
Only one person would be an adventurer and she would own 95% of the world's wealth while 95 people would have no money and five of them would have no clothes

95 people would have never left home
Only two people would know how to swim
Only one would know how to throw rocks

So if you are an adventurer, and you were not kidnaped as a child and you have money and clothes and weapons and armor and you know how to swim and throw rocks and you are not an elf, be thankful for you are one of a very lucky few.

Awesome thread

I was fairly amused up until "12 people would carry things around for a living," at which point I snorted. Bravo.

14=12+12+7+1


well, wait, i guess those conditionals aren't mutually exclusive, so okay, makes some sense

still, cool thread

...1 of them would be "rescued" from goblin captivity and have over 13 kills

You've got to respect a kid whose killcount is 1/8 of the world's population.

This made me, and my mother, laugh.

All I can say is wow, but how did you figure this out?

[mainiac]

All I can say is wow, but how did you figure this out?

Via an exhaustive method of pulling numbers out my ass until I couldn't think of anything more.

So, in short, with the same statistical methods of the original chain mail?

We're going to need a lord for those flies while were at it. I assume a child would do well for the role.

All we need now is a mountain.

By the way, the humans on that save are playable, so...
