I think I'm pretty okay with this whole midwestern white male thing. It's worked out pretty well thus far.

Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.

There seems to be a demand for this product. If the supplier doesn't increase the supply, a knock off brand will surely see the opportunity and fill that void.

Hmm. I want people to ponder the fates of others, so I don't want to just vomit them all out at once. How about an increase to four?

I'm still pondering that Brazilian beach.

It was indeed very nice. Perhaps in your next life MisplacedChiefsFan will import you to it to be his servant.

But actually, I was surprised at that beach. I didn't know what that part of Brazil looked like, and kind of assumed that it would be relatively undeveloped and/or poor. It instead looked like a nice and unusual place to vacation.

Well, shit. That's beautiful as ****.

As a descendant of Gan Ning (General of Wu during the Three Kingdoms) I've found myself well off financially, and therefore socially and with the woman as I'm fairly normal looking, and speaking. I like spending my weekends on the Bai River, and casually shopping at the Dannisi Underground Shopping Mall where I continue to add to my collection of sunglasses, and picking up loose women.

I frequent the Yes Bar and the Romance Bar at night because who doesn't like a lot of yes when it comes to romance? Whenever the mood to gamble strikes, you'll find me at Club 88 before it's go time on the roulette. I like to gamble and ****, and drink! All. Night. Long.

I try not to let it interfere with my job as the general manager of the tobacco factory. It's a rather large factory, and being the overseer of such a large operation I've found ways to delegate most of my responsibilities to underlings who are too afraid of my presence to question me.

Being in the top 10 percentile of income has allowed me to live a life of privilege and I've abused that power in every sense of the term. There are the haves, and the have nots, and I remind people of that to fulfill my every whim. It's not an amazing life, but it's one that suits me very well and I'm grateful I've been the rapor instead of the rapee in this existence.

I went to central India once and did a "sunrise boat ride on the Ganges" where we were rowed around on a small dinghy in incredibly polluted water by a child laborer. A human body floated up and bumped a similar boat that was near us, much to the excitement of all.

I wonder if it was someone I knew.

That's not too bad at all. I can probably buy a boat and go island hopping.

In either event, this has to be the worst draw yet, right? At least it's some schmuck I've never heard of. And she might be ugly enough to merely get beheaded rather than raped daily. So yeah, Pointer will probably be dead real soon and get another crack at this shortly.

Yeah that's just what I was thinking. The looks alone could go a long ways and with that intelligence it just takes one oppurtunity to turn ot all around. She could also manipulate anyone she wants most likely if needed to try to get ahead.

I don't know. She's definitely got some huge assets, but in India she might be an untouchable, which means she'll never get an opportunity. But I'm rooting for her, and society would be better off if she thrived.

Yeah, I've got to say that pointer has the worst draw notably. There's nothing in there that points toward any opportunity.

Nightfyre looks to be the female Will Hunting of India.

Yeah, no lie, but in that country there is no chance of anyone ever noticing. She might be more ****ed than Pointer19. Pointer is ugly and poor, but so dumb it hardly matters.

Nightfyre is a legit genius with above average looks who could be teaching quantum mechanics at MIT, but is stuck in the slums of India, and knows it. Pretty f'n horrible really.

Hey RainMan, question re: methodology. I assume your system doesn't just randomly generate a number from 1-100? In theory, it should be more of a bell shaped curve for the three indicators (wealth, looks, brains), yes?

Gee, this is one of those that I have no idea how to interpret. She's probably in the ruling class given the relative wealth, but this is kind of a rural place in Uzbekistan. Definitely a bigger fish in a smaller pond.

How are women treated here? I have no idea. It may be the best situation we've seen today, but ... I'm not sure. I can't even figure out what a residential neighborhood looks like.

Apparently there's nice fruit there:

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7166/6...c8669b63_b.jpg

I pondered doing a bell curve distribution, but the truth is that it's kind of built in to just a random 1-100 draw with equal probability. You just have to read it like it's on a bell curve. The way I interpret it, there's probably much less difference between a 50 intelligence and a 55 intelligence than there is between a 92 and a 97.

Question: Is the wealth rating a global rating or relative to where they landed? So is an 87 in America better than an 87 in Uzbekistan?

I believe he confirmed that it's relative.

So if you're a 5 in egypt, you pretty much have a dead sand rat and a loin cloth to your name (and really, you're probably only half owner of the dead sand rat...and not the good half; though it's hard to determine which half is the good half).

Shit's not good for Pointer...

I imagine a 5 anywhere is pretty bad.

But a 20 in Overland Park, KS, you still have means to move to KCK and become an 82.

Yeah, it's local. So I suspect DJ is right. A 5 in Giza probably means you're picking the corn kernels out of donkey feces, or maybe slightly one step above that.

I considered even doing some sort of different draw based purely on number of regions, because I didn't want it to get boring if we had too many Chinese and Indians. I've got a pure random draw by region set up as well, but I thought accuracy would be interesting.

I'm still surprised by how many inland Chinese we've had. I kind of envision that country as being really crowded on the coasts, but there are enormous inland regions in terms of population. That's been a learning event for me.

Yeah, well, if you cloned EVERY man, woman and child in teh United States, and then cloned ALL of them (including the new clones just made) again, you'd still have fewer people here in China, so...

(which is a convoluted way of saying they have 4x more people than we do, which is a f'n lot!)
