Soon...

Hey, that thing sort of makes sense, and seems to reflect reality. Why do you disrupt our months-old traditions like this?! -
On the topic of alliances' tech dealing ratios, here's some further stats.
The sellermean and sellermedian columns measure the mean and median amount of outgoing tech slots per incoming money slot for sellers. The buyermean and buyermedian columns measure the mean and median amount of incoming tech slots per outgoing money slots.
The stats are only for sellers and buyers on the respective AAs. A seller is defined as a nation which has received money and sent out tech, while a buyer is defined as a nation which has sent out money and received tech.
Data are taken over the same period as my preceding graphs. -
Here are the graphs with anything above an apparent 9m/900T rate filtered out as an outlier:
-
Since I promised I would, here's some graphs I threw together on this stuff.
The data is for nations which have both sent tech and received money, partially because that seems like a reasonable filter to remove non-tech-deals, and partially because I don't want to have to deal with divisions by zero. The data are from between 16 days ago and 46 days ago.
A few alliances are afflicted with outliers, like the MI6 guy who apparently traded at a 6m/2200T rate during the period. I'll filter out these outliers from my data and post graphs for those AAs later, perhaps. Or I might get lazy. -
I think those numbers are rather misleading, since they don't seem to exclude aid not sent as part of tech deals.
I'll see if I can get some better data to post up soonish. -

Have fun, guys. -
Leaks from top secret NPO FA leadership channels incoming.
14:31 <&Necoho> yep
14:32 @ Hakora_Kiyanto needs coffee
Or perhaps I just completely faked these logs in order to get us rolled? Or in order to be one of the cool leaky kids?
The world may never know. -
I, for one, am happy to see this posted.

o/ NPOThis is where I'd downvote...
These forums really need a Dislike button, don't they?
It'd see a lot more use than a Like button. -
If we are not significant, why even condescend to make us the central target of every war?
Not even you could seriously believe that Polar have been beaten down in every single war ever, so stop pretending that you have. It doesn't make people pity you. -
I can't help but feel a vague suspicion that this "Universal Exports Inc." thing is some deceptive facade for a more nefarious organization.
What exactly is it you export? Is it tech? Please tell me it is tech. -
For those who are interested, here's some calculations on how much damage his nukes will do, as his nation currently stands: 170 infrastructure, 57 technology, and 170 land, for a total of just below 1050 NS destroyed.
Interpretation of this data is left as an exercise to the reader. -
I honestly thought it wouldn't be possible to divide it into symmetric-looking segments any more, since the amount of spokes wasn't divisible by the amount of AAs. Apparently, it was possible.

your sig is going to need more flags on it
Now look what you've done Baltus...
You killed the poor sig! -
I have watched far too few movies to be able to make a funny reference.
I suppose I'll just o/ anyway. -
I, for one, really like seeing this treaty.

I've been paying 9/100 for awhile to keep my sellers happy and gleeful and those are running short
Has it ever struck you that the reason you're short on sellers might be the rate you're offering them? -
Actually, on a search, it turns out that I do have all datas (some of which I actually got from you), it's just that I haven't structured them in a way that my program can access.
I suppose I should get around to figuring out how to fix that problem. -
Also, I decided to have a look at my (not 100% complete, but almost) aid stats for this year. Here's some fun numbers:
These numbers are for every aid package in my system. I hope all my abbreviations are comprehensible.
Here's something similar, but only for slots containing 100 tech:
And for slots containing more than or equal to 6m: -
4 (▶0) [310] (+0) New Pacific Order : 47.63 --> 47.74 (+0.11)
So close to doubling our score in a year... So close. -
I believe this more or less summarizes these threads in their entirety:
-
This has to be the weakest bait I've ever seen.
I even called my friend who's an expert on weak bait.
If I wanted to bait you, I'd point out in more detail how silly your entire argument was. However, it's not particularly worth my time to try. For some reason, I don't think you sound like the kind of person who'd understand. -
I'm pretty sure more than two people have posted in this thread, and this does not appear to be the general consensus. That being said: Hothead? A bit, perhaps. Idiot? Hardly. Enjoys racist jokes? I would like to point out that there is a difference between being insensitive and genuinely racist. Do I enjoy the occasional insensitive joke? Sure. In the proper context and around people I think have think enough skin to handle it. I didn't realize certain people at MI6 had such thin skin and I didn't appreciate the handling of the situation, which involved jumping straight to accusing me of racism over a joke without confronting me first (and then telling me that I did not deserve that consideration anyway when I voiced my concerns).
I would like to further drive home my point about there being a difference between insensitivity and racism by asking a simple question. Do you (and this question can be answered by anyone) watch Dave Chappelle's material? Are you offended by it? If you are not, but you are offended by the joke I made (in a relatively private setting, I might add) then you are a hypocrite and your ideas are based on some actually racist logic.
At its core, that is saying "It is ok for Dave Chappelle to use that word in a joke because he is black, but it is not ok for Shokkou to do the same because he is white." The logic here being "It is ok for [person 1] to [action] because they are [skin color/ethnicity/nationality 1], but it is not ok for [person 2] to do the same because they are [skin color/ethnicity/nationality 2]." This logic works equally well to say "It is ok for this person to use this water fountain because they are white, but it is not ok for this other person to do the same because they are black." That is actual racism.
Have a nice day.
Alright, at this point I think we can conclude that the assessment of "hot-headed possibly slightly racist if not just deluded/dumb" is rather accurate.

It's an interesting historical document, I suppose.
