Gender Ratios~!
A thought randomly struck me a short while ago - what's my personal Sam gender ratio? I never even wondered that before. If there are roughly four mares for every stallion in ordinary Sam society, how far do I "deviate"?
68 total (soon to be 69, so I'll use that)
50 mares
19 stallions
50/19 = 2.63 mares for every stallion
So if 4:1 is normalish for average world NPC Sams, what's normal for user-owned PC Sams? (Kind of like the heroic average being 12 whereas Farmer Fred's average is 10 in DnD.) Where's your Sam population sitting, guys?

Re: Gender Ratios~!
Hmmm...good question. Let's see... I'm going to go ahead and count my mare-to-be from recent customs, and my little growing Mystic who is still too young to be in the database. That makes...
42 total Sams
15 stallions
27 mares (or fillies)
1.8 mares per stallion
*looks at results* Yeah...I need more mares... This is why I always, always put mare down for Frankens...I think the numbers overall are way off from the 1 to 4 ratio as well. *checks* Yup, 2.39 mares per stallion entered in the database. Though I think some Sams are still missing from there...
We like our stallions and their Songs apparently! *eyes Songless stallions as they stare at her*

Re: Gender Ratios~!
And here I thought I was doing so well with the gender ratio, guess I need to be sending more mares out there

Re: Gender Ratios~!
I'll fix the balance the other way a bit... XD
1 stallion
10 mares
So, yeah. Leaf's a little overwhelmed on my database page!

Re: Gender Ratios~!
Including a couple that aren't in the database yet, I believe I have...
Mares: 13
Stallions: 7
So just about a 2:1 ratio. Of course, I think I've been pretty lucky about getting stallions, and then there's the custom stallion I ordered (it sort of throws off the rates when you can order whatever gender you want). I can see how the ratio might get out-of-balance that way.
Maybe Sushi needs to have a "mares only" event some time XD

I'm actually right on target. 15 Sams in total, 3 stallions to 12 mares a 1:4 ratio

Almost equal... I do love my boys, I suppose. XD
Also, amazon, NICE. That is so randomly well done. :O

Re: Gender Ratios~!
*display Sams...tally, tally, tally*
Yep, that'd be 6 mares and 6 stallions! For a while after the Zodiac contests, I actually had 2 stallions per mare! XD
I've also taken to putting 'mare' in for every franken, but it'll work itself out, eh?
