Are You a Poster or a Player?
« on: July 15, 2003, 04:34:03 PM »
I enjoy the Aces High bulletin board so much that it makes me wonder why I spend almost as much time here as I do playing the game.  

Is it because I'm at best an average stick and a better reader/writer?  

Is it because I must have a new flavor (plane) of the week to keep me in the arena and off the bulletin board?

Is it because the board gives me more insight into the many fascinating/weird/brilliant/questionable minds of Aces High?

Is it because here the play is just as challenging but the scores are more grammatical than numerical?  

Some BBers' posts number in the thousands.  Others in the hundreds.  And some players post not at all.  

For you math wizards (and I know you ARE keeping score), what is the correlation between number of posts/views/responses and number of kills/deaths in the arenas?

Who has posted the most posts?
Who has evoked the most views?
Who has evoked the most responses?

Include Aces High staff as well as players.

And for the truly academically challenged:
What is the correlation between posts and IQ?

Admit it, that's the best straight line you've had in the last 10 minutes.

It's because the BBS runs in every browser - that inclues non-windows OSs. AH doesn't...

I hit the boards more than I fly. Fly around twenty hours a month but prolly have 4 times that on the boards.

Between 2 names here I have prolly 900 posts, 2800 over at AGW.

I'm a post potato. Really enjoy the writing and the dizzzzcussion..

I'm hoping for some sort of plaque..

But I'll probably just end up throwing a piece of it and be found face down on the den floor..

It's ALL about the fight..
