Distant Worlds - How many will make it through ?

Those that make it to Beagle is just the start, we have to get back, or go on to the Andromeda galaxy, now that would require some Jumponium.
 
My vote? 1 person makes it back, an inarticulate scream his only warning of the indescribable horror he's witnessed, newly woken, rushing hungrily towards the bubble.
Colours and fangs and the smell of pure evil clawing through the fabric of space itself...
Gotta love Lovecraft.

And we all know what that means...

This. This man speaks truth.


LOL.
On thing you forgot: Those who die are the ones that are back first. :D
My guess: 400 will reach SagA, maybe more, as it is the most famous spot in space (and maybe the most worthwile). But after that we will see a lot of dropoffs. I will be surprised if we are more than 150 at Beagle. Especially if FD is quick with the next extension.
 
Made it to beagle the designed day: 50
Made it to beagle point in the following months: 300
Beeing the keeper of the 65k club I expect cmdr asking club membership untill late summer.

IA! IA! PH'NGLUI MGLW'NAFH CTHULHU R'LYEH WGAH'NAGL FHTAGN

(or something)
Mglw'nafh is incorrect. You are advised not to say it out luod near water worlds with a big island r'lyeh.
Also a tribute to shub niggurath is advised now and then.
 
I want to know how many will die to this????

Answer to question about 38.4% will make it.

Being in a ship that has a jumprange of 23.7 ly, for me -and I guess for most of those in a similar situation- the biggest challenge will be to collect enough jumponium. Now I have about enough to make it one way, but I want to have a return ticket as well. :)
 
I can see a DW Graveyard thread coming... eventually haha, you saw it here first folks :D

Hello commanders !

As we all know, Distant Worlds will be a war of attrition - against careless flying and landing, against boredom, against the random dangers the 'verse likes to throw at us (close binaries, anyone ?). As such, we all know not everyone will make it to Beagle Point..
But how many will make it so far ? Well, now you can bet on how many you think will make it, in a simple Google Form : http://goo.gl/forms/WnxAnan95G !
There's no price, but the satisfaction in 3 months to know you were right all along...
Fly safe !
Commander Jiriakel.

how are we going to know?

is there going to be a thread for cmdrs to post proof?

400 to sag a
150 to bp

Maybe Galnet will have an official obituary section. Might make that thing worth reading. Could be one way to get your name in the newsletter.
 
I consider myself a pessimist:
Sag A* - 314
Beagle Point - 47

But then I also hope that more people than this humble prediction will make it ;)
