Ok so two days ago I went to check out my scoreboard and under 'Statistics -> Interesting statistics', I saw something like "7 out of 10 dolphins downloaded your The PROPELLAH!".

Who are the dolphins?

Then, yesterday, I saw at the same location: "4 out of 10 plants downloaded your The PROPELLAH!".

Who are the plants? O_o

And now, today, it reads: "3 out of 10 coelacanths downloaded your The PROPELLAH!".

Who or what are the coelacanths? O_O"?


I do find it rather funny, but I'm curious about who the dolphins, plants and coelacanths are.


Anyone has an idea? If so, please inform me. I'm very interested in this. :3

EDIT: If I refresh the scoreboard page, I get to see 'werewolves', and 'assassins' too.
Small list of what I get every time I refresh:
- "5 out of 10 glass swans downloaded your Modern Natura ~ ..."
- "6 out of 10 fraggles downloaded your Modern Natura ~ ..."
- "8 out of 10 pregnant sim males downloaded your The PROPELLAH!"
- "6 out of 10 pescadoes downloaded your The PROPELLAH!"
- "5 out of 10 elves downloaded your The PROPELLAH!"
- "6 out of 10 aliens downloaded your Modern Natura ~ ..."
- "6 out of 10 sims downloaded your The PROPELLAH!"
- "8 out of 10 dramallamas downloaded your The PROPELLAH!"
- "8 out of 10 mad scientists downloaded your The PROPELLAH!"
- "4 out of 10 flying pigs downloaded your The PROPELLAH!"
- "10 out of 10 lepid llamas downloaded your The PROPELLAH!"
- "3 out of 10 doozers downloaded your The PROPELLAH!"

So, we have:
- glass swans
- werewolves
- assassins
- pregnant sim males
- fraggles
- pescadoes
- elves
- aliens
- sims
- dramallamas
- mad scientists
- flying pigs
- lepid llamas
- doozers
- dolphins
- plants
- coelacanths

I guess now that these just come random, but do they have any meaning?

They're just... dolphins, plants, and coelacanths. Not special ones, just regular average everyday dolphins, plants, and coelacanths. We also keep stats on other creatures and their downloading habits.

Oh, I see. Interesting. Ö
So I just should ignore the amount of dramallamas, flying pigs, glass swans and such that download my uploads?
M'kay, will remember.

It's still interesting to see tho. I think I'll start a new hobby. Like keeping track of all the different creatures that visit MTS. Will make a graph chart later perhaps.

Well, you wouldn't really want to -ignore- them as they're important members of our community. Poor things are so undervalued as it is!

Keeping stat of them at this very moment.
And of course they're important! I believe that few members of the site actually know of their existence...

So I must change that. I still have questions on how moomins might look like.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to continue my investigation by using the F5-button for several times a minute. Will stop doing so in 5 minutes, just in case this isn't allowed.
(If it really isn't allowed, then notify me in time, I don't want to be banned because of my important investigation! This is science I'm doing here!)

Done investigating. From what I discovered, I can only make up these species, sorted by category:

Animals:
- Dolphins
- Cats
- Dogs
- Coelacanths (some sort of fish)
- Skunks
- Octopodes (anything that has eight legs)
- Penguins
- Womrats
- Flying pigs (very rare breed of pigs)
- African lions
- Cheetahs
- Elephants
- Dogs that dig for treasue
- Giant pandas
- Flaming dogs falling from the sky (I believe this has to do with some sort of prophecy)
- Orcas
- Fennec foxes
- Red-speckled blenny
- Furry mammals
- Black panthers
- Civet cats
- Tree-climbing goats
- Pygmy marmosets

Other living things, but not quite human-like creatures:
- Pregnant sim males
- Aliens
- Werewolves
- Assassins
- Ninjas
- Mad scientists (occasionally found on MTS)

Food (and also cuteness):
- Gingerbread women (do NOT add too much sugar when you make these)

Uncategorized:

- Wily little knitters (no idea what these are)
- Regular expressions

Dirty things:
- Glass swans (Why dirty? Read here.)


This now makes a total of 72, no 73 80 species listed.

If anyone else is interested in this scientific investigation, and wants to know whether or not there are more creatures, please feel free to provide this post with new information.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Wait, you're going by our titles.

OH I get it.

Lol this is cute.

oh, I know, a while ago none of the dolphins downloaded my waterplanes, I can imagine why.

It'd be interesting to know what the dolphins'/aliens'/zombies' overall favourite download is.

Well I tried keeping track to see how many out of 10 dolphins downloaded a house of mine, but it's always a random amount from 1 to 10 (I believe) so I can't really keep track of that. All I know is that they're out here, somewhere...

Just for clarification, Pescado belongs under the category: "Other living human-like creatures". He's the owner of MoreAwesomeThanYou.

Well, you got 36 of them... but thats not all.

Glass swans should not be under "cuteness": http://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...term=glass+swan




I'm pretty sure that point is open for debate...

Shouldn't that be, "Other living, not quite human-like creatures?"

Consider it changed! :3


EDIT: consider all the comments posted after the list of creatures: read and applied! :P

SECOND EDIT for Delphy: Consider that 37 now. I discovered bronze statues just a moment ago. ^^

There're also altmers apparently.

Apparently 4 out of 10 argonians downloaded my 5 Kitty Road - Starter house, no CC! and 7 out of 10 dogs that dig for treasure downloaded the same thing!

Dramallamas are also generally humanoid, as far as anyone can tell what with all the refraction from the glass swans.

As far as I know, this is a dramallama. :3 In what aspect are these humanoid? Ö

It talks, cries and has hissy fits!!
Mmm, could be my ex-wife!!

Such a charmer!

Today, I continued the investigation towards the different kinds of creatures that occasionally seem to visit MTS.
I discovered some new species, listed here:
- African lions
- Toasters
- Cheetahs
- Pewter swans
- Mome raths
- Fennec foxes
- Oompa loompas
- Ayleids
- Nords
- Wily little knitters
- Furry mammals
- Dunmer
- Orcas
- Soulless minions
- Nargles
- Redguards
- Chicken kickers
- Gingerbread women
- Acromantulas
- Altmer
- Wrackspurts
- Smurfs
- Blast-ended skrewts

- Blue tiger plushies
- Red-speckled blenny
- Dwemer
- Alpacas
- Imperials

Will update the complete list, but I'm considering to put it in spoiler alerts by now. :3

EDIT: consider the list now updated, but I still haven't put each category in a spoiler.

Could I possibly borrow some of your time, please?

Chicken Kickers isn't a food, it's a person. See: Fable series.

Also damn, you have too much time. :P

Dammit, Misa, STUDY FOR YOUR THINGIE.

I -will- temp ban your ass if I have to.

I didn't know you knew my ex-wife!!
