Kingdom of Knuffel

Okay, Candy Caravan has arrived and here is my first post:

17685 post count (prior to this one)
49 donuts (prior to this one)

Thanks Li Li!!

So our combined average is 0,177 donuts per post.
Or conversely that we need an average of 5,638 posts to earn a donut.


Considering that we only have the Caravan a sixth of the month (5 days) and the other 5 sixths (25 days) we would be working with said average... I would say that we can almost earn the same amount of donuts during the Caravan period as we earn during the whole non-Caravan period.
Interesting

So most of the difference would then come from the additional forum activity?

Wow, that's kind of telling....

It was definitely a good decision to introduce this mechanic and event!

I think so.
We all become more active because of the Caravan so we make more posts.
If we made this many posts during the rest of the time, we could earn pretty much the same amount.

0,177 * 5 = 0,885 is near enough to 1 to consider it may be actually 1 (and the difference is just an error due our little quantity of data)

Well, no, I don't quite consider that close enough to one to count it as such....

4 out of every 5 is not the same as every time.

But it's certainly enough to make me think!

And I'm super curious if those numbers will end up changing a lot once we gather a few more months' worth of data!

As I said, it could be an error. We have so little data.
But half of us are over 0,2...


Yeah, that can be interesting, finding some kind of patterns!

So these were my stats before the caravan:

Posts: 1793
Donuts: 8

Thanks!
I'll update as soon as I get home !

Alright -now that the Caravan is gone, here are my stats to start collecting for the next interval:

Posts: 17,778
Donuts: 162

Alight, let's do it again :D
I currently have 11295 posts and 217 donuts.
