(just a example - anyone failed hard @ almost all planets in disco)
We all know - disco is the on going of vanilla.
So please anyone find a good RP reason about this now!

Quote:As the capitol of the Liberty System with a population of 220 million people, Manhattan was the first human colony to be established in the year 1 A.S. Since its founding, Manhattan has served as an important hub for the conquest of Sirius as, little by little, Libertonian explorers took to the dangerous task of exploring and settling other planets and other systems in the name of Liberty's "manifest destiny." Today Manhattan is still the vital heart of Liberty, sitting at the center of a vast commercial network.
So anyone find a good RP reason how they managed to GET THAT MANY BABIES WITHIN 19 YEARS!
/serious mode on
those numbers are just ridiculous.
plz fix.
and sorry for brigin' up just now. already saw that months ago but was too lazy to say.
Obviously the rise in recreational use of fertility drugs has caused a bloom in child population growth, with families reaching an average of 10 kids by the year 810. Draconian birth control laws resulted in a plateau of population growth as the existing children began to mature, with many entering the workforce early. This also explains the prevalence of teenage catgirl admirals as, proportionally, the amount of teenage naval officers increased by the year 818 AS as the early births entered the workforce. I think it's AS. What's the acronym again?
edit: The catgirl part can be explained by prosthetic fashions, or something like that. I ain't no scientist.
edit2: Edited a date for more consistency.
edit3: Yes the numbers are bollocks.
edit4: You can't expect any inRP explanation to make sense in a reasonable way, pls don't kill me.:(

Where are these numbers from? I remember someone in the community tried to make up arbitrary numbers for populations on planets for disco a while ago, where I disagreed with all the numbers put forward on a statistical basis (800 years and you go from 50 000 to several billion people per starship? Implies quite the unnatural birth rate). But I don't think any of those numbers ever made it into mod infocards...

Herp derp.
There was no population boom. That's a retcon, seeing as the original population numbers were plain ridiculous. Manhattan is supposed to be a giant planet-spanning metropolis. See how much metropolis you can fill with 220 million people. 2 billion still isn't anywhere near enough, but it would make sense for a continent sized metropolis, maybe.
If you really want to get your knickers in a twist about high populations, go have a look at Leeds.
I think the only fails is the 220 million...it is just like a joke...Manhattan, capitol of Liberty "a still the vital heart of Liberty, sitting at the center of a vast commercial network." and only 220 million people...pche

Ehh... Large metropolises implies a number of them dotted around a surface, not the whole surface covered in them. It could just as well be like... 10? 220 million people would fill that up just fine, after all New York in the real world has a population of "just" 20 million.
