Right, so as for the actual presentation of Collected data thing, I'm just gonna go ahead and repost all the charts I have from Season 6, since I know a lot of you are interested.

If you have questions feel free to ask!

Firstly Season Six Episodes One & Two "The Crystalling

There were 260 respondents and the average rating was 5.98. The standard deviation was 2.09 and the "split" was 33.8%/66.2%

167KB, 1269x922px

Now, getting to the aggregate data for Season Six...

First off here's the average normalized response chart for Season Six. As it says on the graphic, this is essentially what you would get if you took all the data from each individual episode and mashed it all into one chart, as opposed to having twenty six different charts.

As it says here there were 5,373 responses in total and on average people rated episodes at 7.05. The standard deviation for the lot is 2.27 and the split is 20.7% to 79.3%

For those of you who are intrested in more exact figures, here's the breakdown of rating to the percent in numerical form.

1/10 = 4.40%
2/10 = 1.46%
3/10 = 2.80%
4/10 = 5.26%
5/10 = 6.80%
6/10 = 10.14%
7/10 = 18.22%
8/10 = 22.63%
9/10 = 17.64%
10/10 =10.65%

136KB, 1268x921px

Now, here are the response rates for each individual episode in order. That is to say, here's how many people responded to each strawpoll for comparison.

For the numberphiles here I'll repeat these numbers, though they are listed above.
E1&2 = 260
E3 = 287
E4 =191
E5 = 321
E6 = 484
E7 = 268
E8 = 376
E9 =208
E10 = 304
E11 = 281
E12 =130
E13 = 184
E14 = 150
E15 = 184
E16 = 258
E17 = 184
E18 = 144
E19 = 156
E20 = 173
E21 = 230
E22 = 192
E23 = 162
E24 = 120
E25&26 = 157

173KB, 1269x922px

And here's the average ratings of each episode in Season Six. Again, pretty self explanatory. Keep in mind the Y axis is zoomed.

I'll repeat the ratings here.
E1&2 = 5.98
E3 = 7.00
E4 = 6.56
E5 = 7.93
E6 = 8.02
E7 = 5.95
E8 = 7.26
E9 = 7.57
E10 = 5.65
E11 = 6.52
E12 = 6.99
E13 = 7.97
E14 = 5.05
E15 = 5.49
E16 = 6.58
E17 = 7.91
E18 = 7.79
E19 = 7.67
E20 = 7.98
E21 = 7.39
E22 = 7.06
E23 = 6.86
E24 = 8.09
E25&26 = 8.03

And again, the overall average would be 7.05

104KB, 1269x922px

One thing I wanted to briefly acknowledge is the big difference in response rates towards the beginning and end of the season.

As I'm sure some of you may have noticed the rate of responses consistently went down over the course of the season.

Some of you may be thinking the same thing I was thinking, and that would be does that have some sort of effect on the ratings? I.E. does a smaller pool appear to have a more significant bias than a larger pool or vice versa.

Well, I did this to check, and while it doesn't 100% disprove that hypothesis, it goes a long way to dismissing my fears there. Some of you probably know what this particular graphic represents, and I'm going to assume the rest of you don't care that much, so I won't go into detail unless someone is legitimatley curious.

Now, I'm gonna quickly throw together what I have for Season Seven so far, since I haven't done that yet and since I know some people are curious to see those graphics too.

Here's the stuff for Season Seven so far.

Season Seven Episodes One "Celestial Advice"

There were 359 respondents and the average rating was 7.30. The standard deviation was 2.29 and the "split" was 17.3%/82.7%

And to address the invisible elephant in the room. I don't have data for episode five yet. I know it already got leaked, but I have a policy of recording data from the official airdate for each episode. That being said, if you've already watched the episode I would very much appreciate it if you could quickly pop into the episode sticky next week to rate the episode there.

I'm a little salty about it, but it is what it is.

Ok, any questions, comments, concerns? Any recommendations to kill myself, or tongue in cheek reaction images?

Literally anything?

I'll admit this one was me being frustrated because the episode was a rehashed plot. I'm terribly sorry and the guilt got to me finally.

>>29990246
It is what it is. In the end it's kind of just a blip in light of everything else.

For obvious reasons I can't really change the results, but I can put an asterix on everything going forward.

I very much appreciate the people who have participated so far. Though I'm looking to try to get as many responses as possible, so I would appreciate it if anyone who hasn't taken the time to contribute could do so when they have the time.

As much as I really do hate consecutive bump posts from an OP who is incapable of generating interest in a thread, I must sleep now and I really don't want the thread to die this quickly.

I would like to ask that if I don't get back to the thread in time to bump it again that someone does. I don't really care how at this point but I really do want more responses for the poll and the alternitive to keeping the thread live is to post again and it takes a while to post all this shit.

Cheers lads

If Treehouse continues with their plan that might soon mean you will get that data a month after the episode aired there, sadly.

Also OP, how many responses have you got so far, and for how long do you want to keep this poll up?

Nice poll, OP. Really curious about results. But yeah I think you should get rid of the most of the text at the beginning, it will most certainly repell some people. Good luck with whatever the fuck are you trying to accomplish with it.

Alright. I'll try and watch this and keep it alive as much as I did for my episode ranking threads since this is pretty much what I was thinking of doing in the mid season hiatus to try out the "out of 10" polling method. Hopefully this turns out well in the two weeks you're giving it.

>>29989030
You are lucky there are people who like taking surveys. I wonder if that affects the data...

>>29997103
I can handle most of the bumping, no worries.

I also have a few ways to drum up interest and it's shorter than your thing, no offense obviously, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to scrounge up some responses.

Fingers crossed.

>>29997177
I'm sure there is some effect. Sometimes I feel like the same Anons are always around when threads like this come about. The big thing is how many other Anons are among that group, and there's no good way to tell for sure that I can think of.

>>29997189
None taken. Part of my curiosity was with something like this being a quarter of the length of the usual one and part of it was being off site with an ability to check IPs, keep results hidden, and keep everything organized a bit better. I'm always curious what the average opinion is, so the more data the better.

>>29997177
As someone who participates in all the surveys I can say it definitely affects it. You need to invest time and effort into these things. Post-episode strawpoll will take you a minute, even rating the whole show on a /10 scale will take around a half an hour if you're not half assing it. You'll get significantly less people checking out your thread in comparison to the sticky, and only a fragment of them will bother doing the poll. A major portion of the answers will just be the same group of anons who have enough enthusiasm and interest to do these things.

>>29997177
>You are lucky there are people who like taking surveys.
I wouldn't say lucky, but I'm glad for it.

>I wonder if that affects the data...
I'm assuming you're referring to the whole, "The people who will willingly respond to questionnaires, surveys, and polls aren't representative of the overall population" thing? It's a thing, but there really isn't anything to be done about it. Obviously it would be nice if we could get everyone on the board to sit down for a few minutes and click bubbles and type out a few lines, but that's simply not going to happen.

If nothing else I can at least take solace in the fact that the more responses I get the more likley that the results will constitute a representative sample.

>>29992082

the Crystaling is just kinda boring, Newbie Dash spends 22 minutes actively shitting on a character.

>>29997346
I'm sorry, I just don't see it that way. Dash isn't perfect, she has a very fragile ego, and now her childhood heroes are calling her childish names. She can't tell them to fuck off. So there's a big internal struggle going on.
I understand if you don't find the imitating part funny (neither did I), but some people act like the episode was some character assassination and personally I can't help but wonder if that's just butthurt dashfags.
One thing I hold against the episode is that joining the Bolts was supposed to be a grand moment, equal to the CMCs getting their marks, and it was played off like it's something completely insignificant.
Meanwhile Crystalling is a disaster in almost every aspect, the storytelling, the deus ex machina, the total uselessness of the most powerful characters in the show, the lack of either comedy or drama.

It's interesting to see how much more positive opinions seem in these polls than in post on random days, feels like the most active posters are the most relentlessly cynical.

>>29997410
That's understandable. People mainly voice their opinion when they want to complain, not when they want to praise, that's just human nature.
Stickies have more people who just tune in, watch the new pony and that's it for them. Afterwards the discussion is led by the people who want to complain, joined by people who enjoy the show and are enthused enough to still discuss it further.
And let's not forget all the shitposters.

>>29997410
Part of the problem is that there are some people who are convinced that I'm some sort of Hasbro shill and that all the polls are botted to make the show look better, so those people refuse to leave ratings at all.

After all, how else could The Cart Before The Ponies get an 8/10 ^:)

>>29997446

We do definitely have a fucking ARMY of shitposters.


>>29997474

Someone has to be some crazy level of paranoid to think some random dude who post polls on an internet board is a paid shill, so I don't think we have THAT many of those.

>>29997607
Well, we either have a poe or we have at least one because someone legitamatley accused me of such then had the gall to say The Cart Before The Ponies got an 8/10 when in reality it's the worst rated episode in season six according to my polls by a pretty wide margin at 5.05.

Needless to say they shut up really quickly when I posted >>29989163 at them and asked them where they got their numbers from.

>>29997474
You have to admit that any person trying this hard to show favorable ratings would look, sound and reason like a shill for any person who's unhappy with the current state of the show.

>>29989030
I'm never in the stickies or MLPG threads. You aren't related to the ranking thread, which is a nice thread.

I respect that wall of text. This is weird. I like data. I might do this.

>>29997842
It's partly on them that I committed to doing this anyway. People kept on telling me that everyone thought the show was shit now and that the people who still liked the show were a tiny minority here. That may still be true, but at least among the people who still watch the show it seems pretty popular.

I legitimatley expected the ratings to be way lower. Not becuase I personally think the show is bad, but just becuase I saw so many people saying it was shit over and over again, and by comparison there were an insignificant amount of people who said they still enjoyed the show.

>>29997865

I would be remiss if I didn't at least make a go at the get for the sake of drawing attention to the thread if I happen to actually get it. If nothing else it will be a bump before I go to bed. Despite the fact that history shows that I'm shit at get posting...

So, yea. I claim this get in the name of this thread and my waifu. And by rules of the un-written 4chan code of honor I dictate that should I get this get that everyone who regularly visits /mlp/ should take my poll!

There's my shot. Mods have mercy on my IP. Good night, lads.

>>30000028
Miles off lol, at least I wasn't early for it like last time.

>>30000028
It's really hard to get those big gets, because the board first slows down and then a massive amount of posts happen at once. You might be off by 28 but it could also be only 15 seconds off or less.

>>30000102
I was off by 27 seconds. I just waited too long before posting and my internet wasn't fast enough.

Ok, so I have 22 responses so far, but I would like quite a bit more. Thank you very much to those of you who have responded so far. It's appreciated.

Also, on that note I just want to check. About how long did it take you guys to go through everything? Is twenty minutes more or less accurate? That was just my best guess, having a lot of experience with this kind of stuff.

Finally, fun fact. We haven't got a single dashfag to respond yet. I don't know how to feel about that. I'm halfway tempted to go to the dash general and tell them, but I would rather not invite bias unless I have to. If anything it's a good proof that polls like this aren't always 100% representative, as I would be sincerely surprised if literally less than 5% of people on this board though Dash was the best member of the Mane Six.

>Zero responses since last bump

Feels bad mang. Though it's all good, I'm patient.

Just to make sure there is actual content here, I'll say another thing. So far the whole, "Would you say that you are sexually attracted to Ponies/Horses?" question returned about what I would expect. About 75% of the people who responded said yes with the other 25% saying no and some of those being unsure.

That matches up pretty nicely with things people have done before. So that's cool.

No shame either way on that by the way, it's just in there for the sake of academic curiosity. If it's your thing it's your thing, and if it's not then it's not.

>>30011544
It took me about 10-15 minutes

Bumping for results.

>>29989113
I think it make sense. People either rated the episode as simple experience with visuals and reference which was 8/10 or they rated as original story set in FiM universe which was 2/10 since there was no original depth and characterisation. It wa just a huge adaptation of the classic in pony form.

>>29989135
>>29989163
Here is the proof that there can'[t be a lower rating than 5/10 which mean this board is autistic. We should just cut the 1-4 places and set 5/10 as 1/6

Depressing to see that not even 300 anons rated the episodes. This entire planet can only muster around 280 anonymous pony fans?

>>29989314
it should have been around 5/10 at best

>>29989030
The Data collected for S1-S4 will be much lower than those collected by reaction thread polls. You used the polls of people who were hyped for more poni while responds for S1-S4 will include just people who has some kind of fondle memory about this episode giving them a much lower rate than if they were seeing it right after premiere.

>>29997404
It was a dissapointment of a episode that suppsoe to be a huge status quo change for Dash and finale of her story arc

>>30013204
Wonder how many people we would have on the polls when the fandom exploded during S1? From what i seen on the popularity chart from 2012 to 2017, we have dropped to 1/5 of the original hype.

>>30013149
Regardless, it's an asterisk result becuase of the weirdness and because of >>29990246

I'm not going to change it, but it will have an asterisk on it going forward.

>>30013155
I recommend you be careful about calling other people autistic.

>>30013163
>This entire planet can only muster around 280 anonymous pony fans?
It's more like we can muster that many people on an English imageboard with a bad reputation on average after half the season gets leaked early.

>>30013188
That's one hypothesis, we'll see if the data plays out that way. I think there might be more variables in play here than you might realize though. Though that's just my opinion of course.

>>30013204
Maybe after all this is settled and done with I'll look into how the use of the term Marry Sue has changed over the years. It's something that's intrigued me for a while now...

>>30013226
There are still a lot of pony fans out there, obviously we're not at the peek of popularity, but I wouldn't say it's at 1/5th of the absolute height. Maybe here on /mlp/ that's true, but one thing that time has done is push people into tighter and more distinct groups. Instead of just being the "MLP community" now we've got the /mlp/ community, the Derpibooru community, the Fimfiction community, the EQD community, the Youtube MLP community, and so on and so forth.

The same sort of thing happens in every fandom if it's around for long enough. It is what it is.

Do we have to take the poll after every new ep?

>>30013396
The google forum one I have linked at the top of the thread? No, god no. You take that poll once and then you don't have to take it ever again, unless I decide to make a new one that covers season seven, but I'll only do that once season eight is rolling, if I do it at all.

I repeat, do not try to take the survey/poll thing at the top of this thread more than once. It would kind of fuck with my data a bit. Please and thank you.

However, I would appreciate if after every new episode's official air date (I.E. this year not the Canadian release date) that you could try to pop into the episode sticky for that episode and look for the strawpoll there. If you rate the episode in the strawpoll within six hours of the episodes official release date I can use it for data in the future.

And bump

>>30018277
I'm not touching anything FIM related on a google medium. There's no such thing as paranoid with these people.

>>30019826
I understand that you may have a reason to be paranoid, but the survey is being conducted directly via google fourms. Since it's pretty much the only free service I can use to do data processing like this.

So short of contacting you directly and asking for your responses then filling them in myself, there isn't much to be done about that. If I were getting paid for this I might consider that, but this is just something that I'm doing in my spare time. Even if I were I doubt that you would be interested in that either.

So, yea. Sorry about that, senpai.

I really should get some sort of content together for these bumps. Feels bad just bumping without anything. There are a few things I'm thinking about to get more traffic here after we hit the one week mark of the poll being live.

One of the things I've been playing around with was publishing some green I've had sitting around for a while and have been plucking away at recently. It would almost certainly draw in a few people not saying I'm a great writer, just that it doesn't take much here though I'm concerned about bias.

What do you guys think? If I get that all typed and polished before everything here is said and done, do you think I should try throwing it up. It's Ponk/Anon lewds if that matters.

>>30020384
to be honest I don't think an episode rating thread is the right place to drop lewd greens, but more importantly I don't see how it's supposed to work with drawing people in. Then again I don't really read any of the greentexts on this board, so I'm probably not the right anon to ask.

>>30020605
It's just the one weird thing I've been kicking around. I'll probably toss that idea and just publish the thing independently. I just wanted to see if there were second opinions that seem holier than mine. If anything it's a conversation starter.

The native advertising on that scheme would be pretty simple though. Literally just me saying that I wrote thing, and I'm also doing other thing, so if you enjoy thing then do thing.

If I did it, then I would probably do it in it's own thread and just cross link. But fact that green will always cater to specific audiences just invites a lot of bias that I really don't think I can ignore. That is unless I'm particularly desperate for bigger numbers, which I don't think I will be.

Pick one, senpai

>>30026298
since you didnt include a "i havent seen this episode" option to separate the wheat from the chaff, im going to go with its already shit.

>>30026310
I explain this very clearly in on the general instructions page and also in the instructions before each individual section.

>If you haven't seen a specific episode, please do not rate it, just leave it blank and move onto the next one.

>If you haven't seen every episode for Season One, please skip the last question asking you to rate the season overall. Again, just leave it blank and move onto the next section.

>If you have not seen any episodes from Season One, just skip all the questions in this section and move onto the next one.

This is repeated multiple times throughout the survey for each individual section.

You ARE capable of reading and following basic instructions, right?

>>30026327
>included in your 2 page instructions page
>thinking anyone will read all that shit
>not using me in your statistics to see how many people you expect to actually read that shit, let alone follow the instructions honestly if they do

for someone so keen on studying human behavior and statistics you sure lack some fundamental knowledge on said behavior.

how about a poll at the end to see how many people read anything on the first 2 pages?

>>30026310
Also for reference, I have it stated here as well

>To accommodate all the people who haven’t seen every episode, or even every season, there are no “required questions” for this survey. So what do you do if you haven’t seen an episode? Just skip the question asking you to rate it and move onto the next question. Same goes for seasons, if you haven’t seen a specific season just skip the section related to that season entirely.

>Please note that in the instance that you have seen some, but not all, episodes in a particular season I would appreciate it if you could take the time to go through the related section and rate the specific episodes you have seen. However, in this case I would ask that you skip the question at the end asking you to rate the season overall. I want to only include responses for those particular questions from people who have seen the whole season.

I was exceptionally clear on what people should do if they haven't seen episodes and I repeated these instructions several times through the survey to make sure there was absolutely no room for confusion.

I'm going to go over this very slowly and use small words to make sure that you get what I'm saying.

I told everyone what to do both in the big scary block of text, and right before the actual questions. The stuff before the question asky thingies was five sentences long.

I can't help everyone, but I did my best to try to make sure that as many people as possible could get what they were needed to do. That said, there is a bar for things like this and if you can't read five sentences then I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you fall below that bar.

You can't save everyone.

I put a picture showing this, you might want to look at this picture. It shows you what I am talking about.

Also
>not using me in your statistics to see how many people you expect to actually read that shit, let alone follow the instructions honestly if they do
You say that like I didn't put in ways that I can see if people are able to follow directions. Do you think I'm stupid?

Pre early pony bump.

>>29989030
wew lad

you expect me to remember if I liked an ep based on the number and name?

At least add a 1 sentence summery of the plot so that I dont have to go between your page and wiki mlp to know which episode it is. Ill answer it anyway though

>>30027747
I recommend asking someone ITT or taking a peak at http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Friendship_is_Magic_animated_media#Episodes if you're having trouble remembering what an episode is. Just keep in mind wikia is pretty cancerous when it comes to ads, so I recommend leaving your adblocker on if that's something you do.

If I do this again, I'll probably include a couple of screencaps for each episode to help with that, because I know I had to look a couple things up. For now though, this should be fine.

I'm going to answer the poll wrong on purpose and there's nothing you can do about it.

>>30028286
Thanks, I really appreciate my hard work getting fucked for no reason ^:)

Also, keep in mind that the poll for Season 7 Episode 5 is live and available here and will be live for the next few hours. Please vote while you have the chance.

Alright, I got 100 responses for the S7 E5, and there's still time left for people to submit more.

Never really thought that I would be enthusiastic to get 100 response for a poll, but that seems to be what my life is coming to. Hopefully I can do better next week.

I'll try to get the chart up tomorrow...
