| == Crossroads, Part I ==
| |
|
| |
| As I noted on the page, there is a conflict in numbers. From "LDYB, Part II" we have 39,192 living in New Caprica City. "Crossroads" gives the number as 44,035. This is close to the ''total'' human population we calculated in the "Precipice" section and might be accurate if we don't take the "half-strength" comment too literally - which the page does. It's more of a turn of phrase than a true number.<br/>
| |
| But then the lawyer notes the number of escapees as 38,838. This is obviously lower than numbers given in all previous episodes and thus has to exclude the military personnel. It's possible to reconcile the data, but including the military in one and excluding it in another is a very weird way of counting. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 11:01, 19 March 2007 (CDT)
| |
| :You mixed up the numbers: 39,192 is the population of New Caprica City '''after a year''' of living there. The missing 4,843 people could very well have died in the intervening year because of medicine shortages, climate (it seemed like a pretty cold place in the winter, and those tents are probably not very well heated), bad working conditions or other causes. This leaves 'only' 354 deaths during the Cylon occupation, which makes sense as well since Baltar was quite shocked at having to sign a death list with 200 names on it. Such large-scale executions probably hadn't occurred before. Of course this doesn't mean Baltar isn't responsible for the full 5,197 since it was his idea to settle on New Caprica in the first place, despite its being barely habitable. --[[User:Catrope|Catrope]]<sup>([[User talk:Catrope|Talk to me]] or [[Special:Emailuser/Catrope|e-mail me]])</sup> 09:05, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

| ::Ok, I think I figured it out. I'll shortly add it to "[[Crossroads, Part I]]" and here. It actually fits pretty well with what has been established and what we calculated before. Curiously she is counting only the civilian population, and the "44305" also included the civilians in orbit despite her talking about "those who settled on New Caprica". --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 10:08, 21 March 2007 (CDT)
| |
|
| |
| After, some confusing calculations, I managed to make the numbers fit very well with what we had estimated before. But there is still one annoying glitch: the number of military personnel with 2,597. This roughly fits with our estimate of the combined crews who escaped New Caprica, each battlestar having roughly half its normal crew. However 2600 is just about the crew ''Galactica'' had at the beginning, which conflicts with the overcrowding depicted after the destruction of ''Pegasus''. The problematic thing is the "Crossroads" figure. If it really means only the civilians it should be lower to shift more to the military.
| |
|
| |
| Other options:<br/>
| |
| 1.) Taking the 4,835 as the death toll of the settlement is possible, but all that would do is decrease the death toll of the ''Cloud Nine'' explosion. The estimates of the population in orbit are still ca. 4,200. But it fixes the casualty figure of 5,197 Cassidy gives. <br/>
| |
| 2.) One could take the 44,035 as the survivors of ''Cloud Nine''. However that puts those deaths at 318, which is somewhat low for three or so ships. --[[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 12:00, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

| : Many of ''Galactica'''s personnel became civilians (Duck, Norah, Jammer, Seelix, et al.), so they were probably counted in as civvies. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 17:03, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

|
| |
| I'm not entirely sure how accurate we can really be. During that year, many of the military personnel had decided to leave military service and become back of the colonists on New Caprica. Thrace and the Tyrols are two good examples of the many military personnel that left. So that 2,597 might not be at all accurate either. Even in the beginning of the season, Lee Adama had argued with his father that BOTH the battlestars were less than half-staff and half strength, which would indicate to me that the # of military personnel is not accurate already.

| I now kinda wish RDM left the footage of Cassidy doing the full calculation of the fleet out. In the podcast he mentioned how the lawyer went from 50 trillion lives to the current survivor count with all these calculations and minuses, etc. They had to shorten it for time sake which is a shame as this debate about how she got her numbers would probably not exist right now. --[[User:LifeStar|LifeStar]] 23:51, 21 March 2007 (CDT)

| == Graph picture ==

| |
| We should probably get rid of that picture. It's kinda nice, but outdated, since we're below 40,000 now. Someone could probably whip up a new one, but the show doesn't allow any absolute dating of events anymore.
| |
|
| |
| Or how about a new one without a timescale? Instead of a timescale, it could be nice to directly name the events that lead to drastic increases and decreases in the population. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 18:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

| |
| I really don't think those deaths are considered in the count, as the episode was produced LONG before the webisodes would (see the commentary on the webisodes, mainly, where she mentions that this was shot concurrently with the movie and the destruction of the sets). I think it is really meant to count suicides.

| :: Exactly. Its a short version of the incredibly detailed one on the page. The reason I made this is so I could get the whole population picture at one glance.

| ::: Yeah, sorry if I didn't make myself clear. My question wasn't regarding the worthiness of the chart (I like it for the simplicity of it), but rather where would you place it on the page? Perhaps if you could create another sandbox page, copy the "Survivor count" page to that, and integrate your chart in there, we'd have a better idea of how the "Survivor count" page should be organized. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 13:02, 15 August 2011 (EDT)
