Announcement Outplay Statistics

Ion2Atom · #1 Jul 26th, 2016, 05:29 PM

Wrap Up UpdateThe cards are in, and the coins have been counted. Together we've raised $144 for RPGX. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. A big thank you to everyone that participated.

As promised, I've added the newest statistic as chosen by you: Most Common Word. You will be seeing this along with the last few rounds of statistics popping up shortly. Since everyone has been so great, I've decided that you deserve a little extra. So not only have I given you what you asked for, but I've also subdivided by italics, bold, and plain text. So that you can see the differences between, presumably, your speech, thought, and narrative writing.

Again, thank you to all who participated, and kudos to all those hard working outplay contestants throughout all the rounds from round 1 to the grand finale.

Day 1 UpdateSo let me start out by saying how awesome you guys all are. Seriously.

I originally proposed this little fundraiser as a way to try and help out the powers that be a little. I had hoped to raise enough for the big man to have a decent lunch on us for all the hard work he puts in. Odds are he'd probably be all responsible and stuff and put it into keeping our servers going, but we could hope. As such, we set the stretch group goals to match that frame of mind. If everyone put in their $2, then we'd hit that first goal. Maybe if we had a really good run, and with a little extra we'd hit the 2nd. Nope.

Today we surpassed all of the listed group stretch goals.

We've already raised more than $80 so far for the site in the last 24 hours. That means game statistics for everyone in Outplay 2016 for all rounds. So yeah, that's going to be a thing.

I guess I'm going to have some work to do. As some of you may recall, the bonus for the third stretch goal was a new statistics added to the listing. Well you guys got that one too. So now the question is: What would you guys like to see in your stat blocks? Start listing out suggestions here in OOC, and we'll collate them up and make a poll. Be kind though, for I am but one man!

So here we are 24 hours in, and we're out of goals and incentives. That simple can't stand. I had intended to keep this little fundraiser of ours going up until the start of Round 3, but that means new goals and incentives too. So what would you folks like to see? I have an idea or two, but the powers that be say that I can't put "Send Ion to a private island in the tropics" as a stretch goal. Jerks.

Now you may be saying, Ion, are you ever going to shut up? Sorry! I have one last bit of news. GodRosen has been kind enough to agree to a donation matching incentive.

Donate Today!As of right now, any donation that you make to RPGX for this fundraiser will be matched Dollar for Dollar.

When I tricked the poor sucker into agreeing he mumbled something about "within reason" but I couldn't really hear him over the *Cha-Ching* sounds going off, and the sound of waves on that private island fans in that new fancy server.

So go ahead and keep on donating, and lets take the poor, generous, kind hearted, schmuck for all we can while we have the chance. It's not often we get this kind of opportunity so I say grab it with both hands. Plus, anything donated now will start going towards these new and inventive stretch goals you guys are going to start pitching.

Thank you again for all your support so far, and make sure to give yourselves, and Mr. GodRosen a pat on the back along the way. I'm off to start collating some stats!

Late Round InfomercialHello.

Ion here. I'm here with a special Outplay offer.

For a limited time only, I'm offering statistical services for all of your Outplay needs. I have written an RPGX post analysis program which reviews everyone's posts, and tallies up total words by player. It even separates out words within spoiler tags, fieldsets, bolds, and italics so that you can separate out OOC chatter, thought and speech text.

For the low low price of a $0.99 donation to RPGX you too can have your own personalized outplay statistics. At no additional charge you will also get personalized: Words / post, Flesch-Kincaid reading levels, SMOG index, and your total word count translated into novel page equivalent.

... BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

For a single easy donation of $1.99 to RPGX, you can get individualize statistics for not this last round, but Round 1 and all other rounds during the 2016 Outplay season. That's right folks, you heard correctly.

Don't wait! As a limited time BONUS, if you donate now within the current Outplay intermission, there will be special All individual donations count towards thesegroup stretch goals. If everyone can collectively come together and donate $25 or more, we'll unlock the statistics for the last round for everyone. So show love for your fellow players who may not be in the same place in their lives right now as you yourself are. At the cost of a single CS membership, you can share the joy of "Maths 'N' Numbers" with your fellow Outplay players (or DMs!). See below for additional terms and conditions.
