BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: The problem with dominance

I really suck at math, but a negative quadratic would mean both the smallest and largest flights get a bonus, evening them out to a middle term?
Shadow may have 86k users, and Earth may have 18k, but that doesn't mean shadow also has 4 times as much active dom users

that's part of the problem, each flight has a diff proportion of active players. i think bigger flights may have more inactive players and casual players.

Inactives already don't count. It's the casual and the profit above all else types that sell out of flight that make calculations strange. (I refuse to be the dick that calls folks who play different a problem.)

SA

inactives dont count for dom but im referring to when people say "shadow has 86k members" when looking at the world map. unless the inactive people dont show up in that count, but i dont think thats the case.

I meant a negative quadratic function where the mean is at zero. So only the positive side of the quadratic function would apply, since flighs only have positive numbers :)
