Oh, that could be fun. Each side gets randomly selected changeling spies who are only revealed on the last day, and all their accumulated points swap to the other side. Would lead to total chaos as a potentially massive point swing occurs.

Just a simple use of markdown editing (the syntax guide has more information) - nothing super fancy or anything like that.

I could make an exception for you and anyone else who stopped at 420 due to the belief that joke ranks earn special badges, which would be 9 of the following users:

join me on my adventure to plot
The top 100 ranked players’ points. Red is Solar Imperialists, and blue is Lunar Revolutionaries. I fitted a curve to it.
points = 50000/rank^0.9
This is a close fit, once again showing 1/f scaling (such as the Zipf’s law).

General statistics:
So the lighter green is the comments? Looks to me like after the initial spike posts levelled out whilst comments continued to increase.
I’m curious why that is, because comments awarded the fewest points. I expected posts to be the favoured approach by far (barring people’s ability to find images to upload)
Images were also a much smaller peak than expected. I would have thought they’d start high and then taper off as people run out of things to upload, but maybe AI images played a part in subverting that?

I had some stuff, then I started making of my todo list. Then the event ended and I realised I could have uploaded more photos from my Galacon trip last year.

I’m guessing you know this already, but in case you don’t, you’re red-green colorblind.
Posts is green and comments is orange.

What’s the chi^2 on that?

Also, I really want to see a histogram of the whole event (people vs. point bins) just so we can see how many sigma red flux was from the mean… if it roughly follows a Gaussian distribution.
