Virtue is its Own Reward 2.0 Discussion Thread

ok, a wonderfull tool if people want to calculate the average population of supers (hero or villian) in your general geographic area.

I know I'm using for the planning out my story bit.

http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=usp ... ion+of+usa

This will get you the population of the usa for 2008 (rough enough numbers for our work) as well as a drill down by state and county.

The numbers I'm working with:

Given the 3000 people online for the event.

that means ~70 supers around the greater metropolitan area where Clank will be operating.

Given a 60/40 split for heroes/villains, that means that there are 27 villains (besides Clank) in the area.

And 1/5 (assuming an even origin spread) of them should be Tech based.

So I'm looking at 5 other villains in the area that Clank would happily poach parts from if they drew attention to themselves (the other 22 might get
attacked just to lower the perceived threat of the area).

And, no I don't expect to have every one of those people making a fuss. This is just the numbers I'm using for next few bits, and wanted to lay out the
numbers so that others might benefit as well.
