Repopulate

Post by Austin »

The BSG game got me thinking, what if a bunch of humans survived the cylon invasion, but they were all male? That would be fairly useless. I am trying to think if there would be a fun ruleset where 2 people from different factions would need to survive. I am not sure if it could be done with 2 teams - A versus B, but one from each team is trying to win. Or a 3 team, where the third team needs to be eliminated but one from each of the other two teams needs to survive. I cannot really think of motivations for the 2 teams to be competitive with each other in the 3 team scenario. (A & B + C, where A&B versus C, and one A&B must survive to win, but where A has reason to eliminate B's and vice-versa)

The two team system would be a competition among the men and among the women to be the last man/woman standing with everyone else eliminated but still a mate alive. Lassr would enjoy writing that game.

Like I said, just a surface thought right now - but I'll probably forget about it by lunch.

If only two people survive the human race is done regardless. One woman can not breed quickly enough to repopulate and any regressive genes the pair carried would take over and cause enough issues to wipe us the rest of the way out.

One woman can have 20 kids in 20 years. Yeah, inbreeding will mean the writings on the wall, but they could still get a good sized settlement going before it all fell apart.

Inbreeding apparently also increases fertility rates.

So if you and your wife can't conceive, let her brother give it a try! ;)

Although, down the line, there will be zero difference between brother and husband.

I have not met your wife and or family but I'm still thinking I'm safe in believing there is a difference between her brother(s) and you. :P

I thought he meant as time progressed, neither you nor her brother would be getting any.

Is the brother married? If not then he might still be getting some.

You could probably move the entire thread into the random randomness thread without losing much.

I've always been told I've got good birthing hips. Guess that explains that.

I'd be less concerned with the cradle of life, and more about the point of egress.
