Current Population of Mega City One...?

[vzzbux]

Walter the wobot was given citizenship, and there must have been more, though not written into the prog as he couldnt have been unique, so you could throw that one into the equasion.

I thought walter was given Citezenship as a reward for the aid he gave Dredd during the robot rebellion. I don't rember any other robots doing that. Are you suggesting the less popular Judges, who don't have a weekly comic strip, recieved similar aid from droids with 'humourous' speech impediments?

Put the keyboard down and step AWAY from the thread.

Another tea-coated keyboard moment.

I hope Spurrier realises that we want this all cleared up in his next story.

I sent off the script in question (including a one-line dialogue balloon containing the number "40-million") approximately half an hour after the thread began.

What happened to the other approx 360 million cits? Is this Judgement Day 2 you're writing?

So...when's Domino coming back?

Gah - obviously I meant 400 million.

Spurrier - there's a lesson to be learned here.

DO NOT FEED THE GEEKS.

Dunno how I've missed it, but I've only just found this thread.

Anyway, yer maths and "per block" calculations fail to take into account those living in mopads. From memory, most of MC1s traffic is made up of mopads.

[TordelBack]

Oooh, good one, Dr. X!

Poor Spurrier, when will you realise that your initial post was but a grain of sand in the moist oyster of geekdom, and this thread is the pearl.

(Note:  I am aware that the grain-of-sand bit is an old wives tale)  

[Proudhuff]

Undercity? does that count?

[SamuelAWilkinson]

So what we need is an estimate of how much traffic there is knocking about, say, the average sector, and then someone can do some extrapolative space-maths.

[Cthulouis]

Many Mo-pads may in fact be empty, as tis well known that if you hit one, kill its inhabitants, then nick all their stuff, you can set the Mo-pad on automatic and your crime will go unnoticed for years.

"What percentage of the ape/monkey population are wearing hats"

None as I thought that Monkey town had been massively irradiated during the Apocalypse War and all its inhabitants including the gangster apes had been mutated in to savages and then put down by Dredd (an annual. year unknown. drawn by Gibson) and any others would have died off due to the rad count by now any way
