berbers Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Poll is private, so nobody get's useful intel out of it, I'm just curious to see the distribution. Edited June 6, 2012 by berbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omniscient1 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Less than 500,000,000 but I've never been above 10k NS so I'll skew the results. Edited June 6, 2012 by Omniscient1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berbers Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Omniscient1' timestamp='1338945535' post='2977989'] Less than 500,000,000 but I've never been above 10k NS so I'll skew the results. [/quote] My hypothesis is the data will trend 80-85% less than 500,000,000 with 15% taking the other categories, heavily weighted to the bottom. I wouldn't think more than 1% of voters will be in the top tier, but that's depending on honesty and the number of votes. I'd like to see 100 votes if possible, it will be pretty interesting results.

The Pansy Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've kept 4bn for a while, it peaks at about 5bn just before a war kicks off, don't need to keep any more than that tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbies0310 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 4 people currently have over 10bil warchest but only 3 have a peak of 10bil. Seems accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when I'm done I will estimate a margin for error if I don't think the data is to corrupt. I am a bit on the leery side with 4 claims of > 10,000,000,000 out of the few responses, regardless of the inconsistency.

Duncan King Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've never gotten above 10,0000 infra so I've never gotten to the stage where the money really rolls in. I was at 1 billion before the last two wars but I'm at 350 million now due to infra buys and being on day 17 of a sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopherbashi Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm wondering if this would've been better as days-of-bill-payments rather than just straight out money, though even then you'd want to adjust for NS. Current: $875m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coloradia Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Peaked at 3.8b (12k infra, 6.5k tech) just before the IRON-Polar war. Burned a lot of it rebuying to 12k infra and then buying 2.4k tech directly from the game. It's back to a decent amount though.

[/quote] It's a pretty meaningless concept actually at very low ns levels. Your collection plus a few dollars in rounding error depending on how closely you want to calculate your costs out ahead of time is all you need if 3million dollars is enough to double your NS. The relationship between NS and warchest needs is a very nonlinear function. This is one of the reasons that the results should skew high. Another is that larger nations that truly need enormous warchests are more likely to be posting here than newer nations. Another is that people will lie. There are a number of reasons they will lie, but they will lie. And no I am not going to tell you mine. I will say it is currently at its all time peak.

Drai Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Greater than 2,000,000,000,000 but less than 3,000,000,000 - should be $2 billion, not $2 trillion Greater than 5,000,000 but less than 10,000,000,000 - should be $5 billion, not $5 million That said, I'm currently at my peak. Actually I just bought a moon mine a few days ago but I'll be at my peak again when I collect in 2 days. It's in the 5-10 bil range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berbers Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm not sure if 10 people currently at 10B is realistic, I used that as the top number as I remember people thinking Vlad's 11B WC was something awe-inspiring that needed to be brought up constantly, therefore I didn't think we would have as many people >10B this early in the poll. Still inconsistencies in the current vs peak as well at that tier, so I'm guessing some people are messing with the results. Either way, keep voting and vote honest that way you can reduce the impact of the falsehoods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
