How often do NS hook-ups happen?

You know, two people create nations on NS, destiny drives them together and they meet, they hook up, and it's happily ever after (or not), Like Glitz and PM.

What I wanna know, is the mathematical average of such incidents, meaning how much time passes on average between one "fated meeting" and the next, and predictions as the when the next Great Hook-up may happen?

(So, for all you Math/Arithmetic nerds out there, here's your chance to shine! ;) :fluffle: :D )

Two words: not enough

And surely hooking up in the room with the blue but sometimes black with lights ceiling is superior?

Big Jim P and Roan is the most famous one. They actually got married. There's another one I can think of from years ago.. Possibly involving Hans? I can't remember though.


So thats 3 that I can think of in the 4 years of NS, although I'm pretty sure there are others. We might be due..

There's an ENORMOUS hook-up in that other thread. :eek:

It's probably the biggest polygamist group in t3h world!

Though seriously, I can't really help you predict when the next greatest hookup will happen. I'm bad at maths :(

I meant REAL hook-ups. That other thread doesn't count. At least, not until some actually gets lucky IRL because of it. (and i don't mean just The Dirty Stuff That Goes On Behind Closed Doors)

Hmm, if you allow a caveat on the "happily ever after" part, I'd say they happen way more often than you think. ;)

Well, then, I suggest we (as in everybody but me :p :D ) search every last nook and cranny, for accurate numbers.

Gameplay side...

1st couple just had a baby together, Canadian and Californian met via NS.
2nd couple, they've met, both are in college and conducting a long distance relationship. (We'll see how well that turns out).
3rd couple, one is across the Atlantic and one is in NY. I think she's planning to move to NY. (We'll see if she reads this) :p

I don't know of anyone else gameplay wise that met over NS and had a real relationship.

Edit: As one of the people Eras mentioned in her list, I can say that it is possible, and I never cease to be amazed at how lucky I was to meet someone like the lady I met through this game.
