in reply to A Pope-ular decision?

Shouldn't it be possible to calculate the amount of XP Anonymous Monk would have based on the noderep of all of the AM posts? It wouldn't be 100% accurate because of the tweaks to the XP/noderep system over the years, but it would likely be close.

    Its much easier than that to estimate, just look at Saints in our Book, at the three "genuine" popes, combined xp 361927, combined writeups 46224, about 7.83 XP per node

    so 74943 * 7.82985029421945 =~ 586792, or about 5.86 times pope, or about 6 popes

    FWIW, that is treating all Anonymous Monks as one user that likes to spend all his votes :) OTOH if you count all the saints the average goes up 7116126/540347 = 13.169548456825, but of course this doesn't take into account monk level (: I don't do stats :)

    Me personally, I have about 15 thousand posts, which would make me the third pope ahead of corion

      You wanna be impresssed? Take a look at 75/post.

      That beats Abigail at their peak by nearly an order of magnitude. That's both selective and popular!
