Re: Canonization Without Representation

Ray: "E-excuse me ... uh, I don't think there's anything wrong with the action in this piano."

Trust me, it's quite possible to have one's name recorded in The Book with some alacrity.

But, as the 'Ranking the Saints by XP Efficiency' script shows, many of the greybeards continue to visit the monastery, which not only places them in the top 25 ("by efficiency") even when it is limited to those here in the last week (-r 1), but also continues to extend their total XP simply thanks to attendance, and possibly, extend it more by voting.

I don't know much about statistics but I reckon if we just keep posting and voting, us young'uns will make the list soon enough :-)

Hope this amuses!

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

We have three popes already? Should I be worried?	[reply]
Re^3: Canonization Without Representation by hdb (Monsignor) on Mar 22, 2017 at 11:32 UTC
Three is no reason to worry yet. In the Vatican, they have 4.5 (per square kilometer).	[reply]
Re^4: Canonization Without Representation by AppleFritter (Vicar) on Mar 22, 2017 at 19:10 UTC
The Vatican (i.e. the actual city) has an area of ~0.44 square kilometers according to Wikidata, so its pope density is actually 2.27 popes per square kilometer. Your point still stands, of course.	[reply]

Re^4: Canonization Without Representation by jdporter (Paladin) on Feb 12, 2018 at 22:17 UTC
imho the Popes list should not include vroom, because 1,000,000 of his 1,007,486 XP were honorary and unearned. His natural rank would be Parson. I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.	[reply]
