I'm not sure about your lucritive monopoly, but I know you'd never loosen your hold on your lucrative monopoly

It reminds me one story from www.rinkworks.com/stupid/

"I had a call from a user with a problem with his spell checker. I walked him through fixing the problem and later sent a follow up email, asking if the problem was gone.

I got this back:

Thanks for inquiring, the spell chicker works fine."

at everyone.

You should see me in the Suomithreadi. We have 23 threads, each at least 500 posts, and I have at least 20% of the posts

GeneralTacticus · February 28, 2003, 07:38

You know, according to my calculations I account for about 9% of all posts that have been made in the ACDG forum ever.

Kassiopeia · February 28, 2003, 08:13

Hmm...

Search -> ACDG -> show posts matching exact username "Kassiopeia" -> show results as posts -> 829* matches.

The ACDG forum has currently 19043* posts, so

(829/19043)*100 = 4.35%

Considering I've had a High Council position (DoSE) only for the first term, that's not too bad.

*This post added to calculations

Kassiopeia · February 28, 2003, 08:19

Good god. TKG has 2189 posts on the ACDGF. His percentage:

(2189/19044)*100 = 11.49%

Maniac · February 28, 2003, 08:23

1689/19045 * 100 = 8.86%

OK, everyone here who has any RL*, please raise your hand...

Do mine, do mine!

I bet i have less then 5%

Edit:
Oh, just above 1% with 220 posts....can that be right?

Kassiopeia · February 28, 2003, 09:30

You had the results shown as threads, not as individual posts. Your percentage is:

(559/19050)*100 = 2.93%

It's really recent, but I'm pretty sure I've encountered this "RL" thing... I think it came into existence due to the combination of a certain female, spiritual influence, and my emotions, but I've definately noticed a severe reduction in game-playing time... as in I haven't touched one (aside from loading the save from here) in like 3 or 4 weeks...

RL is a deep, mysterious, and daunting thing... it's pretty cool, though

edit - to drive the point home: Xenosaga arrived in the mail on Wednesday, but because of this RL thing I haven't even played it yet... and I don't even mind! This is *EXTREMELY* strange behavior for me

i have a life...kinda. i'm sure i can provide concrete proof after this weekend too

well no wonder i'm 11% kass. this is where i make all my posts. the opportunities for spam here are abundant

besides. i wouldn't be talking about spam if i were you, Mr 5.07 posts/day

DeathByTheSword · February 28, 2003, 18:13

kass try mine...i bet it is around 90%

DeathByTheSword · February 28, 2003, 18:14

oh no wait....read everything wrong....i guess it wont be that big

Kassiopeia · February 28, 2003, 20:03

DBTS:

(1775/19063)*100 = 9.3%

Pretty impressive! I was just wondering, that it's all well probable that over 70% of the posts here are made by 10% of the people who have posted or are posting here. An upper echelon of spam, so to speak.

Kinda like an income curve in a third world country, a small percentage of populace has almost all of the wealth...

TKG, you know, in my best days I had over 7 posts a day. Not to forget that one day when I made 37 posts in 24 hours

GeneralTacticus · February 28, 2003, 20:21

I have over 7 posts per day now, and I once made more than 70 posts in one day...

Cedayon · February 28, 2003, 20:31

*gestures nonchalantly to his 12.54+ posts per day, almost all made in this not-very-fast-moving forum*

GeneralTacticus · February 28, 2003, 20:33

Cedayon · February 28, 2003, 20:41

I *could* really ramp up that number if I took a trip to the moo3 forum... but nah, I have other things to do

Cedayon · February 28, 2003, 21:15

*bumps his p-p-d ever so slightly nearer to 13/day*

What do those "post stats" things stand for anyway?

GeneralTacticus · February 28, 2003, 21:18

There was a thread about it i the community forum, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Cedayon · February 28, 2003, 21:26

found it:

Quote:

A is a reference to the number of posts you have made. It fits into a logarithmic fornula rounded down to the nearest whole number.

HP is a reference to the percentage of the way you are to reaching the next level of A.

D and M are now percentages.
D shows how good your average posts per day is in comparison to an average of 5(changed from 3) posts per day

M shows (as before) how much you have posted in connection with how long you have been registered

edit- and here are mine as of now:

Total Posts: 600 (12.99 posts per day)
Posts Stats: A: 22 | D: 99 | M: 99 | HP: 44

GeneralTacticus · February 28, 2003, 21:30

Mine:
A: 44 | D: 99 | M: 27 | HP: 65

Method · February 28, 2003, 21:50

aha. a D of 99, but a M of only 27. you only started spamming recently then?

GeneralTacticus · February 28, 2003, 21:59

Yup, that's it. There was quite a while when most of my posts came from the AC-Fiction forum (before I joined this DG), and it was quite a while from then until I started posting a lot.

FlameFlash · March 1, 2003, 11:04

heh... to compare stats...

EDIT: A: 41/D: 99/M:24/HP: 0

MrWhereItsAt · March 1, 2003, 11:15

Oh God you're not back to post stats again are you? How childish.

A: 42 | D: 99 | M: 23 | HP: 5
