Lo and behold, the average human of 2070 can sprint the 100 meter in 12 seconds.

Yep, a running speed of 25 means you cross 100 meter in 4 rounds, or 12 seconds.

Try running a 100 meter folks, I bet overy 95% of you can't make the 12 seconds mark. Woman especially. No, I'm not being sexist. It's just that if you are a woman and can run the 100 meter in 12 seconds, start training seriously girl because you are maybe 0,7 seconds away from the current olympic standard for women. Just a bit more effort and you could compete in Beijing in 2008!

Be in awe of the couch potatoes of the future!

But wait! What if you actually train a bit?

5 strenght and 4 running skill? 3 success on average.

Ladies and gentlemen : 9,66 seconds for the 100 meter. Crushing the current world record by an astounding 0,12 second.

Woot!

But wait. Is this a big fat bird? Is this a cargo freighter plane? No, this is a sprinting troll!

Do you remember SR2 when the average troll would run 100 meter in 75 seconds (they were -1 quickness and QUIX2 back then) ?

Boy have these guy evolved. The average troll now sprint 100 meter in

*drum roll*

8,57 seconds!

And the crowd goes wild!

An athletic, non cybered troll with STR 10 and Running 5?

On average he'll tear the track in an amazing 6,66 second.

That's almost 34 m/ph in case you were wondering.


:rotfl:

What do I propose? Nothing, that's how it is now. No need to actually point out in game play that Trolls have increased their speed by 775% on average in the past 20 years, or that any human who trains a bit can run olympic standards, it'd be bad form.

It's just very funny think about.
