[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] Sadly enough, from a gene pool point of view. You'd actually *want* many more women than men since you can have more children quicker when you finally get out. Plus a range of ages since age affects a woman's ability to have children more than a man. The problem of course is that six people would be an absurdly small gene pool anyways (especially for the male Y chromosome no matter what the ratios are), so its kind of a moot point unless you assume that there are other shelters. Another thing is that after a nuclear attack, "high" technology skills such as physics and possibly grad school depending on her field are less useful than low end skills. So the rundown for me would be: 30yr. Hispanic female (healthy and female) 23yr. grad school student (female) 34yr. prostitute (hopefully she didn't contract anything) the couple (26, 24) (young and hopefully it's not serious or genetic) ...and yeah, me I guess. As for the rest, the violinist is too old and music s not a critical skill, the male architect is also kinda old (and you don't want someone adverse to procreating), the priest is way too old, the black activist would rock the boat (its a long wait in a Fallout shelter), physics probably won't be too useful, the doctor would rock the boat, low IQ is often genetic and not something you want in a drastically reduced gene pool, same with deafness. On big question is whether you think surviving in a fallout bunker for a long time is a difficult job. If you think it is, stay away from people that rock the boat. If you think it isn't, focus on the people that will be most useful after the fallout. [/QB][/QUOTE]
