it was outside of the rules.. so. which is predictable, regions is always kinda out of the box

Yeah, and they are allowed to give you things not specifically mentioned in the rules, as long as they're within the topics.

[sewforlife]

yep. it sucks. especially when u expect the proctors to know the rules or the info, and they dont know either

Survivorship curves! I just remembered. Is that what you were talking about?

There are 3 types of organisms by survivorship. Type I is like humans- low probability of death at a young age (because the parents raise the children), high probability of death of old age. Type II, age has no effect on the probability of death- they're just as likely to die when they're young as when they're old. Type III is like fish or something- high probability of death of the young (so they have a LOT of offspring, most of which die, but there's still a decent number), but lower probability as they get older.

Yes! See, I was paying attention! Now if this comes up on the event, I'm going to be all happy
