Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
1% of the members apparently own 64% of the Tings, or at least that was the case a few weeks ago!
Anyway, I've taken Raylex's Ting account and Rayinator's myriad accounts. I've also added the "Tings = 5 * Posts" line for comparison. For the histograms, I did make the bins smaller, to get something that I think looks all right, and as suggested left out the 0-post accounts. I got even more persnickety with my titles.

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
Edit: PluM beat me to it (again ), but since I bothered to run the queries here's my message anyway.
Well, about 50.6% of all Tings are held by 23 accounts (I didn't merge data for Ting accounts), which is just over 1% of the 2112 users who have posted at least one message.
Your guess was surprisingly accurate, and it looks like this place is just like the real world.

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
The real world is shit then. We scavengers have earned those Tings from posting and partaking in events like quizzes, lotteries and record days. Contributing to the forum, basically. In the real world, the top 1% is disproportionately privileged as they doubtlessly haven't put in the same level of contribution to society (except through taxes, which comes from their income anyway)Hunchman801 wrote:Your guess was surprisingly accurate, and it looks like this place is just like the real world.
Nice charts though, gotta say. They do give the illusion this place is corrupt.

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
I don't really think so. The CDF of Ting distribution, now THAT looks corrupt. I plotted it when trying to answer Rub's question but didn't bother posting it.
Posts look like they're exponentially distributed, although I haven't looked into that too deeply.

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
So a bunch of crusty old timers are hogging all the tings and then they want mods with a "certain seniority" elected by the current staff itself. RaymanPC is a total oligarchy, we need topdown redistribution.

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
On the other hand, due to the correlation between Tings and post count, you can definitely argue that, in general, those with the most Tings worked harder for them.
Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
RaymanPC's currency never stops being printed either, making it less valuable along the way. The oligarchs will never admit it, but back in the day a Rayman 1 rank only took a 1000 tings!

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
Speaking of which what's the conversion rate? And how does it work, do we just PM hunch and he posts us a package full of cash?

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
It keeps being printed as more wealth is generated through posts and good deeds so it's cool, no inflation.
As for the exchange rate, it's nothing more than the amount people are ready to pay for it. It seems to be a rather illiquid asset as the last pseudo-transaction I'm aware of is in 2015 when lavengeanceduhap declined amounts in excess of 100€ and went for OCG's 222,223 Tings instead. At about 0.0004€ per Ting, I'm afraid you won't get much for yours.

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
Do I even want to know what happened there?

Wasn't that when OCG bought his Rayman medallion, or something to that effect?

Ah.

I should have known, the English have always loved doing the exact opposite of what everyone else does.PluMGMK wrote:Also as a citizen of an anglophone country that uses the Euro I'd like to point out that the € symbol goes before the number when writing English.

Maybe it's just that everyone does the exact opposite of us

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
I just assumed it came after, since everyone apparently does it the fuck wrong.
One thing I absolutely don't understand is why foreigners (especially the French) still choose to put a space before their punctuation, despite them obviously having had to take note of the fact that this never happens in English.

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
And then you have the ones using English conventions in French... even though they're French themselves.
Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
For some reason I read the space between punctuation as a weird insincerity or something, like it's meant to be sarcastic. Doesn't make any sense, but I brought it up to a friend a while back and he knew exactly what I was talking about.

Re: All you need to know about Pirate-Community
I get what you mean, like it delays the intonation or draws it out or something.
