I can't believe how many of those items I haven't seen yet!

Me too.

I'm over 1000 votes since the cull, and there are still 23 listed I have not seen.

Yet I've seen one item (a bad one) 14 times. Another two items I've seen 12 times. One I've seen 11 times. Four I've seen 10 times. Eleven I have seen 9 times. And so on.

Of the +1000 votes, only 78 items have I seen 1 time.

PS, Do we know the Exact time of the cull? On Tuesday?

Voting will close 2 p.m. U.S. Pacific time on Tuesday.

Scarletrose, my eternal thanks for putting this together. I am late to notice this thread, but I appreciate it greatly.

Here I present to you a database to add all the items that you see and have survived the cull.

Please use it responsibly.
that means
  • Do not edit or erase entries made by other users
  • Only add items you will see from now on
  • be sure to not write in a cell where someone else is writing(also, you don't need to use the first free cell, you can write wherever you want in the first column)
  • Always use a free cell in the first column so that we can sort it in an alphabetical order
  • If the rows are finished add more rows (the button is at the end of the sheet)
  • Do not give indication about your item
  • Entry the item via copy and paste to make sure is spelled correctly

I hope everybody will use it correctly as a tool to discover the item that have survived and the actual number of survivors.

I saw my item five minutes after the cull, but seeing it on this list was still helpful.

I am amazed at the number of items on the list. I was honestly expecting more than that, but that is still a big number.

Why do I keep going back to this list to make sure my item is still there?

I wonder if Paizo is really a front for a secret government program to test the viability and utility of mind-control via the internet?

Given the obvious and tremendous success of this "competition", it's the only reasonable conclusion (just consider the Marathon Voter status in itself).

This may be my last post. If you never hear from me again, don't say I didn't warn you...

Can someone confirm that "Coin of Purchased Friendship" and "The Coin of Purchased Friendship" are two different items?

Ditto with "Cloak of Misplaced Fear" and "Coat of Misplaced Fear."

I know the coin is probably the same item as it has this as it title

The Coin of Purchased Friendship – 226 Words {Title}

Coin of Purchased Friendship {Body}

Will check the other

So there are no duplicates and no chance of transcription error, since these files are created by a program.

Your program suggests that there are two erroneous entries in the Google Drive database.

There is no item named "Coin of Purchased Friendship" (with no "The"), so that is a duplicate entry in the database. Likewise, there is no item named "Cloak of Misplaced Fear," likely a transcription error replacing "Coat" with "Cloak".

EDIT: I have removed the erroneous entries from the database.

Thanks

So it has been since Thursday and only 1 new item found. I'm currently at 541 of 551 items found personally.

This makes the case that 551 is the exact number of items in the database of submitted items post-cull.

The news that 20% was culled is somewhat consistent with the report that 666 items existed pre-cull. (80% of 666 is 532)

The only unknown is the exact time (hour/minutes) of the cull on Tuesday. If I knew the exact time, I could remove items from my database prior to that time.

RPG Superstar Season 9 Top 32 , Marathon Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Champion Voter Season 8, Marathon Voter Season 9 aka GM_Solspiral

bear in mind the cull was not counting DQed items which were somewhere in the 15-20 items range

If your curious PM the item name and I'll let you know if it's one of the 14 I haven't seen :)


If there are really 551 after a 20% cull, that seems oddly low compared to what we know about previous years.

Don't downplay your part--you had guts. I wouldn't have expected Sean's positive reaction to this project.

well, as I said, I have seen it done before, not in this fashion and collaborative way, rather dome by a big voter doing a list by his own and feeding it to the public.

Also .. if Sean or any other judge was not ok with that I would have simply put it down immediately.

Agreed :)
Thank you Scarletrose.
Yes that number seems lower than our guesses of previous years.

Help would be nice, is the number less or more.

I've not spent enough time to dissect how many of my 30+ contributions were in the 84 votes to my local on the day of the cull before the time of the post of the cull.

So in those 84 votes, I can (with effort) determine which I have not seen since the post time. But I don't know whether or not to void them because I don't know the exact time of the cull.

So if you wouldn't mind, either give us a hint of the exact time of the cull or whether or not the answer is more or less. ;-)

When I made the rules and said "Only add items you will see from now on" it was meant to avoid this.

You should have put the items as you saw them instead of adding from a list that was both pre and after cull.

Do you realize that even if you were right a lot of people that slept peacefully, knowing that their item passed the cull, will now have constant nightmares until January 21?

The likely hood that anything is in those 84 votes that matters is so slim that no one should ever consider it an issue. But if you are concerned, I'll audit it and provide day by day confirmation. I'll write the script to do so tonight. I've got over 2000 votes now recorded in raw tcp packets format. So making new reports is pretty simple.

Well, before the revelation that some items on this list are from pre-cull, I was pretty happy. I have yet to see my own item (and my BF has also not it)... And I've trolled the rambles and praises pages, and found nothing that I could link to my item (other than lots of rambles about really terrible items).

I've been voting since the beginning, seen a few items that I absolutely hate over a dozen times each, and still have not seen my item. Either it isn't there, or I'm just very unlucky...

What about 551 minus the number of items I have submitted for DQ after the cull?

I didn't copy down a list of item names (only a handful of items) and my memory is not the greatest, but I counted 22 items that did not survive the culll or that were DQed.

The Exchange Owner - D20 Hobbies , Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8

Ok, I've rewritten my script to print the latest view of each item.

I'll have my friend post it soon in a column in the sheet.

Edit: should be done

Anyway, I've audited it all. Added dates.
Created a column of "last seen suspected culled"

496 is the new total

I have seen 10 on that cull list today. (I should really keep track, but voting via phone sucks.)

The Exchange Owner - D20 Hobbies , Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8

If anyone can confirm a recent sighting of the culled list I made, please move it back to the left.

And make a right column thing with the date

Error in script was picking first date when server spammed me with dates. So I'm choosing last date.

This caused 4 to be more recent than expected.

Total now 503

Wait...so what does it mean if the date by your item is recent or earlier?

Woot! Mine made the cull.

Star Voter Season 6, Marathon Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Marathon Voter Season 9

I may not make Champion Voter, but at least I made a solid 3000+ run at it!

Today I added one more item that wasn't on the current list. Hopefully, that gives someone renewed hope.

Also, I'm pretty sure based on probability that a couple of the items in the list are either pre-Cull or an error and that the final list is (or is only slightly above) 502 items items. I had close to this number last week, but then we had a dump of pre-cull items that made things fun :)

Finally, just to verify the list, I've gathered the full text of each item since this weekend--well, at least 498 of them. Hopefully, I can get the last few before voting closes today or else I'll pick them up when they appear in the "Critique my Item" thread in a couple of weeks.

Thanks again to Scarletrose for getting the DB started and to everyone who put in their time to make it better.

Less than 7 hours to go!

The dates I put up in the right column is the most recent date I've seen the item.

Looks like 2 pre-cull or miss spelled items remain. So the total now seems to be 502. I don't suppose a programmer can come along and confirm?

I can't say if there are more than 502 items, but assuming that each item had an equal (or near equal) chance to appear since the cull, 502 is the minimum. I have independently validated the 502 list more than once from my own list of votes.
