It is with deep regret that I must inform you that the Annual Statistical Summary (ASS) report will be delayed a few days due to a real world business event that requires my attention.
I am well aware that the vast majority of your will be deeply disappointed by this news. It is not lost upon me the majority of the participants don't really like painting minis and only sign on to feel part of the statistical aspects of this sacred endeavor.
Rest assured that I am working when I can on the summary. Given the magnitude of Challenge VII's scale, I have had to look for alternative energy sources to power the calculation machines. It's surprisingly difficult obtain nuclear materials for a home reactor if your not "properly" licensed by the government. Difficult, but not impossible if one resorts to, ummm, non-traditional market sources.
There's a very slight chance that the security services of your respective countries may bring you in for questioning about these activities. Given the covert nature of these transactions, I've used a set of aliases to cover my tracks. It's kind of a funny story because I'm really not that creative so I just used the names of the other Challenge participants.
I do expect to be able to publish the stat by Saturday.
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

DeleteFake News!
DeleteThat's simply disgraceful - making us wait for the statistical analalalyses. Harrumph!
ReplyDeleteGot to go, despite the whumping sound of the hovering helicopter I can hear someone ringing my doorbell...
Wait! Whut!? Was THAT your house!?
DeleteI am devistated by this, I always love and look forward to the stats review! Even though i think that you WAY undervalue the average figure price and our time, I view it as a great baseline of what was done. I just think that average figure price per 28mm should be more in the $5 range, and that you should at least allow min wage for painting time which is between $11 and $15 an hour depending on where you live, and I seriously doubt that anyone in this hobby makes less than at least a 2 times that, as its not cheap ( assuming everyone is adult and not living at home, if still teens and at home, then its easy to afford hobbies on a lower income).
ReplyDeleteDelayed stats.... we need a new KPI for each challenge to see how long it takes to produce the stats and the mean and standard deviation from that!
ReplyDelete'Hmm, what are all these red dots floating on my chest? And what is that thwup, thwup, twup noise I'm hearing...?'
ReplyDeleteGamera is really neat!
ReplyDeleteI can neither confirm nor deny any helicopter transportation over the last few days...if that red hatchback auto belonged to anyone, I can neither confirm nor deny....
ReplyDeleteOh guys do let the man off easy, just having to compile all those stats must be punishment enough surely!
