I have uploaded the original plot as well as more recent versions for servers 1, 2, 3 as html, so you guys can open them in your browser and zoom in to your hearts' content: https://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/8Pu … ZWQDxSjyou

Births at the exact same tile are printed on top of one another, so I think it's impossible to identify how many there are exactly.

The pattern seems the same for all servers. Apparently Donkeytown can be in all four directions of NW, NE, SE, SW.
The shift on restart also looks similar I wonder, if the overlap was intentional or he confused radius with diameter.

Live data is not possible. Complete logs for a day are only available the day after. Also you would have to know on which server you played to find your own location. That said, finding yourself in the logs is actually pretty easy. Just search for your character's name in the names files of servers 1, 2, 3, ... on that day to find the server and character id. With that ID you can find your birth and death in the log file. Both of these contain coordinates. You can find all of these files here: http://onehouronelife.com/publicLifeLogData/

Here we go. I've calculated it for servers 1,2,3 from December 14 through 28.

The mean fertile mom ratio over all servers is 0.275, which is pretty close to your estimate of 25%!

         fertile_moms  ratio_fertile_moms  player_count
count  21601.000000        15521.000000  15521.000000
mean      36.186195            0.274950    141.778860
std        9.284623            0.039465     29.156598
min        0.000000            0.005760     59.600000
25%       29.000000            0.250730    121.625000
50%       36.000000            0.273504    145.500000
75%       43.000000            0.298354    164.083333
max       69.000000            0.511085    216.582051

Here is the plot:

I avoid calculating the player count, if data is missing from at least one server, which happens when a server is empty, but also when there are no births or deaths for a few minutes. So I just excluded these records, because it was the fastest solution. Hence the gaps. That could be improved, but I don't think it would change the results much.

I also tested it only with server 1 and get pretty much the same results:

         fertile_moms  ratio_fertile_moms  player_count
count  21601.000000        20966.000000  20966.000000
mean      14.521920            0.270206     54.213644
std        3.662977            0.058778      7.806979
min        0.000000            0.000000      1.000000
25%       12.000000            0.232278     50.285714
50%       15.000000            0.266667     57.857143
75%       17.000000            0.305085     59.800000
max       33.000000            0.831683     66.500000

Let me know, if this is what you needed. I'll be offline until tomorrow though. If my hangover will allow it, I can maybe find time on Jan 1st to work some more on this.

I don't have it as CSV yet. I will try to create it in the next few days and will publish it somewhere when ready.

Yes. I edited my mention of EVE NEZAT to clarify that the length of her lineage was over 35h.

I agree that in a proper analysis you'd have to differentiate a bit more. For the purpose of this plot, it doesn't make a difference though. Filtering all <1h just reduced the size of the data by >90% which makes the plot much quicker to generate and reduces the file size. Putting them in there does nothing except adding a blue bar et the bottom...

Thanks! Would it help you, if I put the data in a CSV, which you could import into Excel or whatever tool you like?

I'm currently wrestling with the life logs. Working on another plot right now, but I think I can give you that data pretty soon.

I found you!

I recently learned that there's such a thing as public life log data from this thread: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2529

So I took your misfortune as an inspiration to take a first look at that data.

Turns out you lived on server 2 from 20:26:39 to 21:26:39 (UTC).

From my own player count data (which is practically obsolete now that I found that the life logs also contain player counts by server) we see that the number of players on server 2 had been taking a dive right before you were born, not because of 'Nocturnal Infertility', but due to more players logging in so that server 2 had to share his population with server 3.

So during your lifetime there were around 40 players on that server, but the number of fertile mothers (age between 14 and 40) varied wildly. Unfortunately for you your fertility period (grey box) was during a time where many mothers were "competing" for a constant number of births per minute. If we sum the number of births during that time and divide it by the number of fertile mothers, your expected number of kids was 3.96.

So my guess is that some other mothers stayed warmer than you and were getting all the babies.

'Nocturnal Infertility' had nothing to do with it.

Hey guys, here's a new link to a more recent version of my plot. Not exactly sure what happened, but somehow plotly is redirecting my uploads to this.

Interesting idea, but keep in mind that different servers are different worlds. Families would never meet each other. Also there are currently too many servers available (15) for that to work, at least during low points (70-ish players at 11 UTC today).

I think a more viable option for the current amount of players might be to scale vertically instead of horizontally, i.e. bigger and fewer servers. The current estimated maximum number of players is 120 (server1) + 14*160 = 2360. 4 bigger servers with a capacity of 500 should be more than enough, heck, server1 could have held everybody during the last few days. The main downside of course would be that an outage would affect more people, but I'm not sure that an outage of one of the lower servers would currently be much better. 60-80 players would get shifted to a higher server only to get shifted back when the other one comes back. Who knows what the bouncing effect we observed would produce in such a scenario.

I would love to hear Jason's take on this.

PS: Holy crap. How have I missed THIS. There is public life log data? BY SERVER? I hope I can find some time over the holidays to tinker with that.

Are you sure about this? I'm playing around with tracking the number of players over time (sick at home...). This is fresh data from today. Timestamps are in UTC. Note how the rise of server 3 around 5pm correlates with a steep decline on server 2. I wonder how that felt for lineages on server 2 at that time.

PS: Sorry for the sloppy time labels. I'm too tired to fiddle around with that any more.
