Vilhelm von Benkern - The Dolphin-...Count
:: Formerly just "benkern"
:: Rook Sentry of the Order of the Vorpal Blade
:: Count of Mar Sara IIRC
:: Former Baron of Absentia AFAIK, before that Baron of Vorpmadal TBH; also Former Duke of Yardistan IMHO
:: Dux Emeritus of the Order of Mischievous Intent

It takes moo to mango!

Can you make one with Batavia and Shireroth? :document

The last couple of months were pretty nuts. I rather prefer the current level of activity where there aren't thirty new mangos every time I check the forum...

I am amazed at the extremely high level of involvement by nearly all of our citizens. Great work, and we have had interesting discussions, and not just posting for the sake of posting.

Jonas, I made the graph making program which created the above graph :P

I could quite easily get it to make a graph with shireroth and batavie, the inputs are easy to configure...

*gets all the data*
*moves batavie's data ID on by 1*
*changes batavie lines and dots to red*
*changes shireroth's dot style to "Capital"*
*merges the data*
*checks*

oh... an error...

*adds some blank data to correct it*
*checks*

there we go

It is a lot easier to relate to the levels of activity if you can actually see it on the graph. Thanks, dr-spangle. This is a very nice, extremely clear graph.

You can see the periods I wasn't (very) active in Batavia. :D

I wish there was a way to track my activity against the Shireroth activity... I have a theory... The more active it gets here.. the less active I become. and the less active it becomes here.. the more active I become...

That is a startling close correlation between yours and Shireroth's activity levels. I wonder how true this would be for, say, the random active citizen. Yours is a dramatic case, Erik, but I think when individual activity rises and falls with interest in various topics, the activity level of the citizenship at large would tend to mirror that interest.

I just went back and looked more closely at the dates of Shirerithian malaise, and found that they were an almost perfect one-to-one correspondence with those periods when Erik was inactive or absent.

Note the list of poster IDs I think were Erik, there might be significant omissions:

Code: Select all

mysql> SELECT CONCAT("[url=http://shireroth.kuroshiro.net/forum/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=",%20user_id,%20"]", username, "[/url]") AS profile_link FROM phpbb_users WHERE user_id IN (55, 339, 9, 222, 244, 113, 220, 221, 249, 47, 62, 212, 65, 15, 235, 560, 564, 658, 672);

Ari--Was Wolvin really a papel of Erik's? I had the feeling he was a much younger person. If he really pulled this off, that is quite a coup.
