Bucket Kicker 3 Posted September 11, 2020 I've worked up some data about the trends this year and want to post them in the right place, any suggestions? Today is Friday Sept 11 2020, this is day number 252 this (leap) year. The record deaths per year is 17, to beat this in 2020 the DL must reach 18. As of today, there are 12 successes. It has been 48 days since the last death on July 26 (this is the longest span between deaths this year). On July 26, DL had a success on average every 17.25 days. If a death occurs today, the average span will be 19.4 days. At this same rate, DL will reach 17.23 successes. In other words, we're facing a crisis here and every day we do not have a success we are less and less likely to reach our goal. Below, orange represents the count, gray the trend, and yellow the record to beat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Death List is compiled by the Committee, and us lowly forum members have no say in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a REAL crisis in the world outside of here, everything has gone fucking ape shit. The virus, the worst American President EVAH, and people taking to the streets to vent their spleens, to name just a few, have made the world unstable and directionless. This place isn't real, there are no medals or boasts, no taking things too seriously. It's a bit of fun, there can never be a crisis here. Oh, and welcome. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Cornholio 902 Posted September 12, 2020 Is this thread worth existing now? We could always create a new archive thread and call it 'Deathlist's Spam Folder' and merge all of these pointless newcomer threads with it, gives us something to laugh at from time to time...
