>We're closest to the boards that use words for game mechanics
Brilliant deduction, Sherlock.
Also, I remember threads being fastest during the summer, and slowing down as fall and winter came on. Could just be me.

>>50806897
Magic Power Players describes us very well.

Nah, threads would pretty commonly go for two or three days if they got a bump now and then. They still get dumped way down towards the bottom of the board as soon as bumps stop happening though. At the time of this post, this very thread is already halfway down the board after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Questfags is 3 .....2......

>>We're closest to the boards that use words for game mechanics

And yet we're also very similar to /m/ and /k/, and not very similar to /toy/.

Some things aren't as cut-and-dried as they seem.

>>50806897

Wasnt /tg/ always considered a slow board

Id say were medium

Let's give ourselves a hand for having a better collective vocabulary than both /sci/ and /pol/.

>>50807337
Clap-clap. I think tg may have the highest vocabulary score of all the boards.

>/p/ has the lowest

>>50807709
lit is tied with us

The average /tg/ poster is incredibly well spoken. Probably some of the most articulate people from any site in all honesty. Which is impressive since we harbor mtg players.

>>50807817
>since we harbor mtg players.
don't forget yugi-oh players, they bring down the average considerably

>>50806897

I need a frame of reference for that.

Low profanity for sure though.

High Vocabulary? Again, need a frame of reference to other boards.

> board slowing down?
Insufficient data.

Worry when it hits 4+4chan levels of slow. Do they still block mention of that chan? We seriously need to keep their /tg/ board propped up. The mod there is based and dedicated.

>>50807337
We're also happier. Almost as happy as the two of them combined.
Hurrah indeed.

>>50808031
Yep, just tested.

wheelschan is still considered "spam".
Unfortunate for us in particular, since we've got the best sister board over there.

>>50808031
>I need a frame of reference for that.

The reference point is the calculated average for all boards, obviously. Negative and positive most likely is a +- std dev.

>>50808058

Atechan /tg/ is like almost dead and barely gets posters half the time

It was a regular Holoquest.

>>50808085
Yeah because 4chan still tries to deny it's existence
But it's importance for misc boards is now very importance since 4chan sold.
If we cared to maintain it, we have a nice bunker.

Unfortunately, 4chan is fucking determined to make sure it dies.

I still visit 2x4chan but yeah, it's too damn slow to hold my attention.

It seems /int/ has the highest vocab rating. Time to perambulate over there.

Not only 4chan but atechans poor fucking leadership

Probably because it's the only board where multilingual posting is encouraged. They're basically cheating the system, it doesn't count.

I see your point, but cosmopolitanism should count for something, no?

The yugioh thread is in /vg/

>>50806897
>never used to see threads going for several days, and now it seems common.

No quests means less posters, and means less rapidly-filling general-style threads bumping slower ones off the board.

That's not a value judgement, by the way, just an observation.

Before we pat ourselves too much on our collective backs for that high vocabulary score, we kind of have to remember that it's going to be inflated by the fact that we use a lot of unique Fantasy/Sci-fi words, and a lot of game terminology.

>>50812503
I disagree, since quests would just bump around on page 1, which doesn't actually remove any other threads no matter how rapid they bump. The only thing that actually drops a thread off the board is a brand new thread being made.
Also, the amount of posters on the board hasn't gone down significantly, since quests were not alien to the board and they're all still here.

>>50808753

I can dig it.

>>50806897
Just so you know I'm now going to include the word nigger in every post,
by your reasoning soon we'll be related to /b/


nigger

>>50814261
Does it count total appearances per post or just once per post?

>>50813700
Sure.
Plus the fact that we don't just use the word "Elves", we use Eldar, Aelves, Mer, Quendi, Drow, Asur and that kind of thing. Just a lot of words that don't show up on others boards that much, but they get regular or semi-regular usage here.

>>50808184

Since /tg/ is the only good board on wheelschan the other boards are cancer incarnate compared to their 4chan counterparts

>tfw i'm playing MLPFEMTORPG, waiting for the official RPG to be released and shitposting about hyperspace hyperwars right the fuck now
The overlap is surprising. Like the time /mlp/ tried to make a homebrew based off 1pWHFB. A good amount of armies were "finished", but no one ever actually played it like a lot of 4chan homebrews.

>>50814476
Cost should be 3BG, ability cost should be BGT and end in a colon, deathtouch shouldn't be capitalized. Surprisingly enough, everything else checks out. It's even well costed.

>>50807337
I imagine the main reason we have a 'high vocabulary' is the sheer number of unique terms.
Every game universe has its own library of monsters, characters, nations, classes and such.
Any given post might be about Aboleth Skum or Badab War-era Carcharodons or Lamellar Cuirasses. That's a shit-ton of different words.

>>50814476
>http://4chan-trends.org/?board=mlp
According to the stats, they're closer to being /qst/ than we are. Also eerily close to us. Ain't that ironic?

>>50814852
/mlp/ has its own quests that are still quarantined by GR15, so it's not surprising at all that they're similar to the other board that has quests and the board that plays other games with similar terms and concepts.

>>50814871
The terminology is sort of different though. What we'd call quests, /mlp/ generally calls CYOAs. CYOAs in the /tg/ style don't really happen on /mlp/.

>>50814871
I actually wanted to run a horse quest in 5e back when I was in between groups. Woulda set it a thousand years before season one. If I could find the time I woulda been a decent DM for a bunch of horny spastic anons

>>50814929
Just the fact that they use the same acronym is enough for an algorithm to pick up similarities. Also connected terms, like Turn and Rolling (Although they would use post numbers, I guess). Potentially also Hasbro, although that's not a word used too often around here.

>>50814975
I don't think it's common to roll in /mlp/ quests, they're more narrative driven. And it there's rolling, it's pretty simple.

I also think the regular roleplayers, the ones playing an actual system with rules, have a dice roller script.

>>50807298

/k/ and /tg/ spend a lot of time discussing guns, weapons, and historical armor and futuristic military stuff.

Also /m/ and battletech stuff. And /toy/ and a general fear of intimacy in our close personal relationships.

>>50807333

Yeah, /tg/'s feels like its slowed down a bit over the course of the year, but it also sped up a disturbing amount during the summer this year so we're now at about the summer speed of a year or two ago.

The real thing that's happened more recently is that the current sub-nazi-mod-tier mod is not putting up with the off topic tangents that literally defined /tg/ for a good 5-6 years, which means that there's fewer of those super fast threads that are powered by people arguing about a weird tangent.

Which probably means that the only reason it has "slowed down" recently is because there's a substantial portion of /tg/'s posters constantly cycling on and off 24 hour bans - so 20% of posters are getting banned just as another 20% comes off their ban in a weird carnival of shitposting

>>50807337

Probably because of all that skub we love.

>>50814852
>>50814476
>>50814620

no one who's been on /tg/ long would argue with the notion that /tg/ is literally only ever a barneyfag or two away from becoming /mlp/, like some very weird game of call of cthulhu.
