Why are Humans the Most Popular Race?

I'm sure that's all hilarious to you, but it's a lot less funny when you're in the middle of it.

I wonder where magickers fall in Nak, number wise.
Isn't it like, 1% of the total population?

No, you're thinking of the Hell's Angels.

Anyway, keep in mind they probably capture a few in the wild, bribe Kurac for the names of rogues, etc. etc.

Some possibly flee persecution in Tuluk and become slightly more bitter and resentful to the their old city-state than themselves.

Well. I meant just in Nak. The gemmed.

1% still seems like a lot. That's seven thousand magickers in all. Counting in persecution and work-related accidents, that seems a lot.

Enough for a full quarter of the city.

Rooms aren't scaled to size. Nobles are less than 1% of Allanak, too. The gemmer quarter exists less because there are so many than because people would freak out if they weren't all the way over there keeping to themselves, imo.

I always had the impression the magicker population in Nak was around 1-2%. Least from my interactions with staff when I was leading the council of mages.
The sound of a thunderous explosion tears through the air and blasts waves of pressure ripple through the ground.

Looking northward, the rugged, stubble-bearded templar asks you, in sirihish:
     "Well... I think it worked...?"

If Nak has so many mages, you think you'd see more echoes in the North about mages being murdered by Templars or something.

I don't think anything from the time that was a thing is a good guideline for gameworld realities.

So because you didn't like the relatively high-magick era, staff census data is inaccurate?

I think he's going more for the 'things have changed so often then opinions could differ from what they were now'.
Or he just really hated the period.
Anywho.
It'd make sense for their to be a large portion of the city being magickers, large meaning the 1% thing.
Though I think it refers to them as the 'minority' population in history. But what 'minority' translates to is meh.

I wasn't around for it, so I've no opinion either way. Jihelu is right in saying that opinions change, and the view on magick has beenshifted rather dramatically.

If us players are allowed to play one of the like sixty hale and hearty members of the Soh Lanah Kah, I'm sure we're allowed to over-represent the teeny tiny fraction of the population born with elements in their souls.

Where exactly did you get the numbers of how many Soh there are? I've never seen any postings (at least not anything recent) that gives the population of any of the clanned tribes elves or humans.

I wish people would stop pulling numbers from nowhere. If you're going to give numbers as far as population at least cite where you get those numbers from. When you don't cite this it can be quite confusing.

Zoan's numbers are pretty much spot on. It's not his fault if you haven't played in that part of the gameworld recently.

What is worse is people calling people out who don't actually know anything about the subject.

I can't get past my in-game prejudice against elves enough to try playing an elf.

Ah well you should just kill those PCs. They're not worth the time of plotting creatively against.

I found it liberating to be blood bonded to elves and witches. Like wearing a dress.

Well if he's going on IG thoughts... Sorry, but how does he know how many VNPC's are in the camp at any given time? Just because there are 60 PCs and NPCs doesn't mean that's all there are. So please don't assume I don't know what I'm talking about. As pointed out in a previous post in this topic people ALWAYS seem to forget VNPCs when doing things. Without accurate count from staff you don't know how many VNPCs there are in a given area.

So you're absolutely right, it is even worse when people call out people that don't actually know anything about the subject.

Edited before I get rekt. But Zoan wins.

Maybe in my next character. Having too much fun with my current one to give it up.

I don't want to be that guy but the population numbers of things like desert elf tribes are something that I've been told in the past should be left IC.
All the world will be your enemy. When they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.

Yeah, I was thinking that. If it needs to be moderated I'd understand.

Going to moderate it for now because Havok is right, that is IC info. I'll bring it up on the Moderator forums to see what staff think on the subject.
