Hypothetical: If you were aboard the Titanic.
Would you have lived or died? Find out here and I'll let you know.
Tell me if you want to be a man, or if you'll take on the role of either gender, and I'll roll the dice for you and assign you a real person who was on the ship.* (If you're a woman, let me know too and I can give you a female dice roll.) If you don't tell me, I'll assume you're a guy. I'll let you know the person's name, age, origin, embarkation point, destination, passenger class if they were a passenger, and their department and job if they were on the crew. In some cases we don't know so you'll get a blank, but the information is pretty good. Oh, and if you were a passenger your crew stuff will come back as unknown, and vice versa if you were crew. There was a small handful of people who were both passengers and crew. The ship's orchestra and the Guarantee Workers were the two groups listed in both classes. (Guarantee workers were the expert repair guys who were assigned to the maiden voyage to make repairs of anything new that was broken. They apparently didn't have expertise in major hull repairs.) You're then welcome to look up more detail about the person if you can find it. Some of them have interesting stories. So sign up in the thread and I'll let you know. * For some reason I'm missing a small number of people, but I've got about 98 percent of them in my database. If you died and your body was recovered, here are the ships that recovered you, based on your body ID number: MB – CS Mackay-Bennett (bodies 1–306) M – CS Minia (bodies 307–323) MM – CGS Montmagny (bodies 326–329) A – SS Algerine (body 330) O – RMS Oceanic (bodies 331–333) I – SS Ilford (body 334) OT – SS Ottawa [57] (body 335) If you survived, you can go here to see the story of your particular lifeboat. Hard lifeboats were labeled 1 through 16, and four collapsible lifeboats were labeled A through D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifebo..._the_lifeboats Last edited by Rain Man; 02-16-2019 at 09:00 PM.. |

Just an FYI. men should have only a 20% chance of surviving. So some of you may want to start breaking out your evening gowns and hoping Rainman doesn't check too close...

We're off to a rough start. Hopefully you got some of the rich people's bags placed on the lifeboats before you went down.

Who says that 13 is an unlucky number? And how did you get on board as an assistant cook? Very clever work.
