As opposed to marathon PBs?

I'm not sure I want to focus on the time of my marathons, just that I do them..
Thanks for the segue

Nice job, serial_thrilla

 

[ShaunDuggan]

So 30.9 AVG posts is the sweet spot regarding posting.

I hope you all got something out of this.

All praise ShaunDuggan!

Still haven't received my badge for finding the Qlitoris.

This is a farce.

(Season 32 Numbers HERE)
​

IN: omgfridge (Gumbies), SarahSmiles (Swamprats), Ligma (rookie), weltschmerz (rookie), Memphis (rookie).

OUT: ShaunDuggan (Swamprats), MC Bad Genius (Phoenix), Noobz0r (delisted), Danger In Texas (delisted), Dancing Potato (delisted).

ROOKIES
There were three new rookies at Gold City this season, with the highly rated Ligma (24.9 posts per week) the stand out as she made a name for herself across the league. Joining her was weltschmerz (7.5 ppw) and Memphis (3.6 ppw), who were slower burns, but will as fresh blood will be critical to the Royal's future.

GAINS
Whilst the acquisition of omgfridge (51.5 ppw) was massive for the Royals, surely there must be some disappointment at what they got out of the highly regarded SarahSmiles (5.3 ppw). With rumours of both leaving next season questions must be asked about the club culture.

LOSSES
The only loss of significance over the off-season was that of MC Bad Genius (55.4 ppw in S32).

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 8,988 6,582, 9th (27%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 479 295, 10th (38%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 13.82 17.94, 3rd (30%)​
• Total match thread participants: 25 22, 8th ()​
• Match thread share: 53.93% 47.17%, 10th ()​
• Top 5 participant reliance: 63.30% 51.40%,1st ()​
• Participants with >5% of MTP: 8 9, 3rd ()​
• Participants with 10+ ppw: 11 11, 7th (-)​
• Participants with 40+ ppw: 6 2, 10th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 15 9, 10th ()​

THE CORE
Whilst (now former) skipper PMBangers must have been happy with the level of engagement he got from his squad with such a high number of participants per week, there was a clear reduction in activity from their big name players. krakouers (86.8 to 36.9 ppw), PMBangers (83.8 to 26.7 ppw), The Filth Wizard (66.4 to 38.3 ppw), Marlowe (63.3 to 18.1 ppw), GreyCrow (49.4 to 29.5 ppw), CakeEater (36.9 to 25.4 ppw), spookism (30.3 to 15.8 ppw) and Smartys Power (20.8 to 3.4 ppw) all were much quieter this season, as the Royals continued their trend of only being up and about when their team is high up the Sweet ladder. nahnah (21.3 to 42.8 ppw) and Ulahoopski (2.4 to 29.3 ppw) were the only Royals to revel in their on-field mediocrity.

Overall it's not panic stations given the number of Royals showing up each week, but whatever leadership group forms in the absence of PMBangers will have their work cut out reinvigorating this squad and livening up their match threads.​

GRADE: C-

Where is Bangers going.

Where is Bangers going.

So far we have only had an offer of half a 4 week old booger…
His transfer is imminent

good deal for you guys!

serial_thrilla, have you considered providing data with a normalised level of posts for the #grandfinalrematch?
This may give a more accurate representation of league health activity relative to other seasons, I believe.

That thread was abnormal & has skewed the data dramatically

The graph displayed an uncharacteristic level of excitement as the season descended into its usual decline.

It gave the rest of the league aids, the natural decline in health afterward has to be expected with such a disease.

 

[nahnah]

Curious why the Royals only received a C- grade when the data looks more like a B to me. But I will wait and compare with the rest of the league. Cheers.

You were a B imo and the teams grade is fair.

(Season 32 Numbers HERE)
​

IN: DenieD (Warriors), Aristotle Pickett (Roys), Ned_Flanders (Furies), eDPS (returning), CatToTheFuture (rookie), Dayts (rookie), Supercheapgiants (rookie), Bulldogs85 (rookie), ossie_21 (rookie), Falconista (rookie).

OUT: omgfridge (Royals), Party Gull (Bears), TalkingFootyNow1223 (delisted), wherearemykeys (delisted), Jivlain (retired), peterss (delisted), Bulldogs85 (retired).

ROOKIES
The Gumbies invested heavily in rookies this season, with six of them joining them for S33. Quick out of the blocks was early Rising Star favourite Bulldogs85 (45.2 ppw) who unfortunately didn't go the distance, whereas the likes of CatToTheFuture (34.2 ppw) and Falconista (36.9 ppw) became mainstays of the Gumbies lineup. ossie_21 (3.8 ppw) posted nearly every week, but Supercheapgiants (0.4 ppw) wasn't sighted after Round 8 and Dayts (0.0 ppw) holds the prestigious honour of being one of three listed Sweet players never to have posted on the Sweet forum.

GAINS
Former Warrior DenieD was parachuted in as captain, and his 56.1 ppw was a team high as he led from the front. They also got good service from soon-to-be Old Boy Ned_Flanders (50.4 ppw), although his output declined markedly after the expansion bid was approved. Aristotle Pickett (8.1 ppw) was hot and cold across the season, whilst returning player eDPS (3.1 ppw) chipped in here and there.

LOSSES
The two big losses last off-season were Party Gull (27.1 ppw in S32) and omgfridge (59.8 ppw in S32). Beyond that they had a sorely needed cleanout.

TEAM TRENDS​

• Total MTP: 5,470 6,821, 8th (25%)​
• Sum of weekly median posts: 305 403, 10th (32%)​
• Match thread participants per week: 12.38 15.82, 8th (28%)​
• Total match thread participants: 18 23, 5th ()​
• Match thread share: 40.32% 47.60%, 8th ()​
• Top 5 participant reliance: 82.12% 57.44%, 3rd ()​
• Participants with >5% of MTP: 5 9, 3rd ()​
• Participants with 10+ ppw: 8 11, 7th ()​
• Participants with 40+ ppw: 4 5, 5th ()​
• Weeks with 300+ MTP: 9 11, 6th ()​

THE CORE
After seemingly being on death's door last season, the Gumbies outfit managed to turn things around in Season 33. Despite the loss of omgfridge and Party Gull, and big output reductions from Riviat (from 75.5 to 30.6 ppw), GWS Goose (from 64.9 to 44.8 ppw) and Barrybran (from 53.5 to 44.8 ppw) they still managed to increase their total match thread activity substantially - which is incredible given those five players virtually propped the club up by themselves last season. Where did it come from? In addition to their recruits, there was surges in activity from beez (from 12.8 to 34.5 ppw), Brick Loosener (from 12.3 to 21.1 ppw), whilst players such as bone2468 and WaLkEr_ThE_StAr were seen much more often.

It was a great recovery from the Gumbies, and although there is work still to be done, they'll be very happy with what they have achieved so far. 2+ more participants per week than any time in Gumbies history - a big tick. But the loss of Ned_Flanders will need to be addressed, in addition to the half dozen inactives at the bottom of their squad list.

GRADE: B

In what world is that worth a B while the royals were a C-. But I’ll hold my tongue until I see a few more. Cheers.

Outranked by the Gumbies. Oof. I sure wouldn't want to be a Royal right now.
