Poisson Effect


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Poisson Effect

Why aren't there more fish in the shoals. I would expect a relatively even distribution independent of other encounters with fish. Instead it's angry turtles and some sort of weird half-fish men and women.

Speaking of which, why are merfolk "m" and not "H"? All the other beast-men are "H" so it's pretty clear there is a coordinated dev response against fish. "H"aters gonna hate the Mf.

Re: Poisson Effect

For a sufficiently large n, the Poisson distribution closely approximates the normal. Given that there are plenty more fish in the sea I would say that your observation is in line with what we would expect.

When I'm in Shoals, I listen to dubstep so I can drop the bass.

The nut shot at the end of that is choice.

Re: Poisson Effect

Yeah, that's the popular hit. Always relevant too.

I like that video because it shows how much things have changed. A guy running around Manhattan with an assault rifle today would likely be shot within fifteen minutes. In the vid, everyone is just laughing.

When I apply Fisher's Exact Test, I see that the pipi value shows no difference in Lair ponds vs Shoals. If there were Bayes in the Shoals, I might be able to assess the Big Fish posteriors.

Re: Poisson Effect

Being polymorphed into some sort of fish could be a perfectly legitimate effect if standing on water.

Re: Poisson Effect

The shoals are native merfolk territory, fish are in safe areas. The real question is why delicious snapper turtles are there.

So you can kill them and eat the chunks, of course.
