If you were pinged to this thread: It's because I compiled a massive list of aggregate data on RP longevity & length under a set of conditions. One (or more--if they meet the conditions below) of your RP IC threads was used as part of the compiling. You may find the information below interesting. At the very least, I felt like I should at least alert everyone who's threads I used. :ferret:

But Why: Because I was interested in seeing longevity/length data aggregates. Decided to share them for anyone else who might be interested.
  • Creation Date: The date on which the IC thread started. (When factoring longevity: Includes end day.)
  • Total Posts: The total number of posts that a thread possesses.
  • Word Count: The total number of words that a thread possesses. (Aggregated via Thread Exporting into Libre Office. Threads with more than 1.4 Million words were broken up into multiple pieces to prevent Libre Office from crashing.)
  • WPP: Words Per Post. The total average number of words per post. You can gain this number by taking the total word count and dividing it by the total number of posts. If you have 100,000 total words and 100 total posts, then the group's average WPP is 1,000.

Data was collected at 6:00 PM Mountain Time, 07/13/2016. (Month/Day/Year.) Data was collected under the following conditions.
  • Non-Libertine Group IC Threads only.
  • Threads must have at least 5 pages of content. (81 Posts.)
  • Threads must have been active within the past 7 Days.

Please keep in mind that the following data is not an aggregate of skill. Art is inherently subjective and thus no amount of data can concretely declare superiority or inferiority. It is merely interesting to see and compare these things. If anything, consider this a comparison of various styles from a numerical expression.

  • Total Combined Longevity: 10,590 Days. (Or, 29 Years. Ish.) If all the RP's below were all combined as one long-running game, then the RP would have started on 07/16/1987.
    Total Word Count: 12,949,536. (Enough to fill 323 novels at just over 40,000 words a piece!)
    Average WPP: 552.1

    Arranged in alphabetical order.

Thread Merger may be to account for this, thus creation date may be skewered. Alternatively, these are just extremely active players. If so, my compliments to their devotion. :ferret:

I LOVE this. Thank you so much for your work. These kinds of statistics amaze me and I'm very grateful to have made it onto this list with my amazing group of roleplayers. What a great 2 years it's been :)

Well I wasn't expecting my naruto roleplay to be on any sort of list still thanks for compiling all this info. Must've taken some work.

I certainly didn't expect to be a part of any data collection, none the less, I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for letting me know about this info!

Sasuga, onii-chan.

Interesting stuff though. I feel enlightened somehow.

This is pretty cool, the kind of little statistical stuff I like seeing.
 
Yikes, 117 posts per day, even I'm surprised by that. No thread merging going on there, just a bunch of clinically insane RPers.

But anyway, this is really cool to see at a glance. It's a nice reminder of how active Iwaku is.
 
That's really neat! Pretty cool our roleplay made it onto the list too.

I can't believe an RP thread of mine was picked for one of these! This is so cool! Thank you for making it, I found this really interesting.

o3o Just wanted to point out as far as WBttG is concerned -- I've probably mentioned in other threads that it's a continuation of an RP from Roleplayer Guild. And when I say that, I mean that all we did was start a couple of threads here and then pick up exactly where we'd left off like nothing ever happened. We didn't really treat it like a reboot or restart in the slightest, nor did we add any new players. o_o So, its Iwaku start date is a bit arbitrary, and it's a bit older than that start date would imply. :P But, I'm not bringing this up just to nitpick. If you want, I can actually log back into my Guild account and find the original thread for you, so you can add that to the data and adjust accordingly. o.o

Granted, if you just want to deal strictly with the longevity of Iwaku threads, then I understand if you don't want to include that data. Just thought I'd toss it out there, if you want to make use of it.

Still, this is cool stuff! ^^

Strictly Iwaku threads. Monitoring local populations and numbers. If I start including outside influences, it will start to tamper with the intention. Local environment is largely self-regulating and self-operated (especially with site joining turning into invitations instead of public), meaning cases like this are the exception rather than the rule.

Besides, it's equally interesting to see how many role plays survive a site move and continue to perpetuate themselves in a new environment. Their style often clashes or differs with others surrounding them.

I'm curious now to wonder if it's player groups or GM's dictating pace and style more. It will require some thought before continuing.
 
I can't be more proud that the Multiverse Hotel and Reaper Squad are a part of this. Not to mention Among the Ruined and a few other awesome RPs I've seen around. Very cool! :D

Funny to see that every RP I'm in is on this list.
Sign me up lads


It's really interesting to see this, I've always wondered what the average length of a post is for the rps I'm in and such.

And Knowing is half the battle.

Note: WPP is an aggregate average of all posts, meaning that the posts of others (longer or shorter) also affect your own average. Group role plays involve group dynamics and style choices that can change how content is structured and released. Interesting for number crunching group choices, but individual dynamics get lost in the sea of voices.
