Here are the results from my location poll (http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=19724). The total number of respondents was 93. First, a pie chart showing the basic regions:

Next, a state-specific map for the USA:

Conclusions:
1) The community is kind of disappointingly, but not surprisingly, overwhelmingly American (yeah, that's right, I just stuffed three adverbs awkwardly into a sentence).
2) JESUS CHRIST CALIFORNIA HAS A LOT OF P99ERS.
3) Since when does Colorado have so many people in it???
4) Since when do New York and Massachusetts have so few? I'm disappointed in you, Massachusetts. I was really rooting for you.

The actual tally is attached.

I don't know where you got the "less than 25" idea. The number of respondents was 93. This was noted in the attached tally, but I've added it to the OP.

This is about 10% of the population at peak times (900+, not 700+), which all things considered is not too shabby IMO.

lots of CA players... now I understand why there is such a huge 420 culture in P99

if they had time.

would be interesting to see.

If they're spending time doing stuff with the forum I'd rather see them put up class forums, but I agree, it would be cool.

my mistake, i judged the numbers of people who voted by the state by state thing on the right hand side of the chart. your right im wrong.

Well that's not really fair, CA also has the largest pop so obviously it has the most p99 players. You should normalize by state population (plot fraction of state pop that plays)

CA = 37 mil, for 12 players that's .32 per million.
MA = 7 mil, for 3 players that's .43 per million. ha!

Interesting idea. I wasn't really looking for the highest per capita number of players, but it might be a fun thing to try. I'll get some numbers calculated later.

Edit: I take it back, I feel like the sample is too small to get much of interest out of that kind of analysis. And it's a nontrivial amount of work.
