Help Forum Measuring monogamy (C3/DS)    Malkin    Manager     4/2/2012 How would you go about measuring monogamy in a population of norns? Thus far my idea is to have a run of 16 norns, 8 male 8 female, with the autonamer on, and export all their babies, until the original 16 die. Parentage of the exported babies could be recorded later. Not sure where to go from here - it's been a while since I experimented like this. Any ideas? My TCR Norns   Feddlefew   4/2/2012 I've noticed my CFE norns will tend to ignore strange norns when looking for a mate, so in one world where I was doing a longer version of the IQ test* norns who moved on to greener pastures later in their lives had far fewer children. *I dropped norns off at the splicing pods on the ark, and had the terrariums set up so that the farther they traveled the more hospitable their new home was.   Jagotka     4/2/2012 Microsoft excel is a key method to my madness when playing Creatures. I have Exodus but run undocked worlds 95% of the time. I set up my worlds depending on the type of study/scenario/experiment that I have planned (which usually gets tweaked/ completely redone thanks to a little thing called ADHD). I have dozens of folders with exported norns, genetic breeds and creatures files and it can get very overwhelming and stressful trying to focus my ideas, so the past few months I have been categorizing my non feral/wolfling populations as either "purebreds" or "hybrids" with various subcategories. (I also have an entire area devoted to IQ test results...lol) Alright, back to the topic of conversation.... I really don't know how to explain exactly how I systematically record every birth (as well as experiment results and other aspects) of a population, so here is an example of how I use Excel as a census tool: Creatures tumblr Blog:Methods of Creatures Madness
