Useful to find out what chance you have of pulling at the bc bop.
I scored 58%....

by Simon - Fri 30th Aug 2002, 8:59am

49%. Too shy for my own good...

by RTT - Fri 30th Aug 2002, 10:01am

Can we come up with an estimate of the accuracy of this system? At what percentage of bops have people pulled, and how does it relate to their score? I'll let you know my results when I've found a machine which is capable of displaying the quiz.....

by It pays to clean your teeth - Fri 30th Aug 2002, 10:22am

76%. But I've never pulled at a boat club bop...

79% on the test, 0% at bops (very much spoken for)

by Peck - Fri 30th Aug 2002, 10:42am

59%

by Dubya - Fri 30th Aug 2002, 4:35pm

72%. I can't recall if I've pulled anyone at bops apart from Sarah. I think perhaps a better method would be to go update the incest chart, then plot score versus number of links. I suspect an inverse relationship would apply (helped by Simon and Peckster), which would clearly be interesting, informative, and worthwhile to know.

by Sarah - Fri 30th Aug 2002, 5:20pm

I think number of alcohol units consumed before or at the bop should be looked at as well.

by Anything to do with being short - Fri 30th Aug 2002, 8:07pm

Definately inversely proportional.....
Out by 57%......

by Mike - Sat 31st Aug 2002, 1:27am

Anything to do with being short said: Out by 57%......

So you scored 43% on the pull-o-meter test?

by Chris - Sun 1st Sep 2002, 12:30am

Out by 57%......

Reckon I can beat this with a mere 44% error, based upon 52% scored in the test and an approximate 8% success rate in reality (approximation arising from uncertainty in number of bops attended rather than the reverse...)

PS has anyone tried to get a minimum score?!

by RTT - Sun 1st Sep 2002, 8:46am

Scored 76% which seems rather high, especially when compared to my 10% record.

When is Knight going to have a go at this?

by The Kerrrrrrnigggit - Sun 1st Sep 2002, 9:14am

My 62% shows just how badly you are doing Mr Rose. Nevermind you still have at least 9 more bops to go.

Is that your score in the test or your actual success rate? If the latter, then I think you should be chained up in order to save the terrorised female population of Trinity. But then again maybe they like it......?

by jpd - Sun 1st Sep 2002, 5:34pm

73% in the test.

73% error.

btw, I have the incest chart - please inform me of any gossip in the last 16 months, and maybe I can plot that graph...

RTT said: Is that your score in the test or your actual success rate?

In the test my actual success rate is more like 25% - although nearly all of that was when I was much younger (well a year or two).

by mjb - Tue 3rd Sep 2002, 9:12am

Hmmm.... I got a 48% error.
Can anyone work out how accurate the model is compared to a real boat club bop ?

Anomolies will not be counted.

As for the incest chart, it has become necessary to define some (well, two) guidelines:

1) That records be kept of all incest, ever.
2) That a chart be produced to include:
..a) all current members
..b) recent members who just won't go away
..c) ex-club members who are linked to either a) or b)

So, for example, an ex-club member who is still well known in the club and has links to current members would be included, but any links from him/her to other past members who have no links to current members wouldn't be included.

To give you an idea of the scale of the chart this would produce, I think 30 to 50% larger than the "current" (11th May 2001) one (based on dincest/dtime for the past 4ish years), as I have added several (links, not people - you (ex)-1st years are far too sensible), deleted a few (people) and will be able to delete a few more once certain older members have left (no names mentioned ;-).

I think that the rules should be adjusted such that high profile club personalities (Blackburn, for example) retain their full compliment of links. Any reduction would severely compromise the chart's ability to demonstrate the full horrors/potential of boatyism.

by ????? - Thu 5th Sep 2002, 10:34pm

i think only 'pulling' that you appreiciate and that you meant to happen should count. all other drunken pulling that never should have happened should not.

Vice versa, surely?

Nah, what would the point of that be? And besides, Jonathon would have to go round and interview everyone, and then he'd have to decide on exact meanings of the phrases meant to happen and appreciate - which, I suggest, in the context of having had a few too many at formal hall would be, ummmm, debatable, to say the least.

The Chart is all-knowing, all-seeing. You cannot hide even your darkest misjudged deeds from it.

Which sounds concerning, perhaps. Can you confirm that, being an incest chart, it will continue to be confined to members of FaT?

The Chart will always show The Truth. It will only ever show links between FaT club members, although it will hide their names to protect the most guilty.

Why, what are you worried about?

by Ice Maiden - Fri 6th Sep 2002, 3:00pm

61% Ice Maiden.

A true reflection of myself: discuss.....

Cheeky!

As I think I've said before, we need some sort of 3-D chart, with "people who refuse to go away" on a different plane to everyone else... thus showing current and historical incest in one chart.

Simon said: As I think I've said before, we need some sort of 3-D chart, with "people who refuse to go away" on a different plane to everyone else... thus showing current and historical incest in one chart.

But that would only show age and not time, surely? I think to REALLY get a full impression of the development, as well as the extent of club incest we need some sort of a timeline built into the whole three-dimensional thing. That way, the perennial club members will have their extensive links preserved, but in a way that demonstates their longevity as well. It seems the only way to give 'historical incest' it's proper meaning to me (although I'd be quite interested to hear an exact definition - does it mean incest that is truely historical, i.e. monsterously, memorably, massively incestuous; or cross-generational incest, suggesting that we should include figures like the Dean in the chart; or, more mundanely, is it just incest in the past?). Otherwise, the 3D thing just won't cut this club's mustard...
