Everyone knows which ones you are posting due to my quote of your entire post. Might was well just get it over with

In any case, I is tired, and won't be playing this evening

5 hours of sleep and then 6 hours in the hot sun do not make for a energetic crazyrocket

Noise · Sep 1, 2010

surprised not many people did a last minute post with like 109427812904876129804 people dominated in each one o.o

This bounty is OVER! I'm in the process of whipping my trained calculator monkeys into creating graphs and blog posts for me. Updated with stats and payouts within the hour. Stay tuned! The Main page has been updated with the final point tallies and tokens.

Noise · Sep 1, 2010

i didnt autobalance myself enough.

Mr.SaJoRa · Sep 1, 2010

i dont think you even thought about it since your whole team was at my spawn for a good 15 min

Dreadmaker · Sep 1, 2010

Alright folks! Here are the stats you've been waiting for. I'll put the important ones first, and the interesting, but less "money" oriented afterwards

First: in Chart format: the work of my calculator monkeys.

Total money given away: 1564607

Crazyrockets: 342767
Frisky Dingo: 247767
Jawneh: 245767
Mr. Sajora: 192767
Noise964: 182767
K^^: 172767
Son007: 50000
Marine4God: 45000
PepperRabbit: 35000
Shadohunter: 40000
Modus Pwnens: 5000
SquidwardTenctacles: 5000

In graph form:

After all of the hard math had been done, it turns out that each king domination was worth 172767 CC. All the other money you see there comes from bonuses for specific kings, kickbacks for not getting dominated, and 5k tokens. CR, for instance, got a hefty bonus on one king that he dominated, was a king but didn't get dominated himself, and turned in a good chunk of 5k tokens. Hence his crazy payout. He, incidentally, would be the 'winner' of the bounty, as it were, with a solid 100k more than the next best. well done!

More interesting statistics:

Number of valid dominations turned in in this thread: 642

Percentage of my personal page views I've gotten as a direct result of this bounty: 40%

Percentage of friend requests on the website I've gotten as a direct result of this bounty: 47%

This thread makes up 0.02% of all of the threads ever created in the TF2 divisional forums, but has received 0.5% Of all of the replies in the TF2 divisional forums. Put another way, this thread accounts for 1 out of every 200 responses in the history of the division.

In accordance with the above, while I can't speak for XO's thread, this thread is the most popular thread in the history of the TF2 division, in both replies and views. It has 50% more posts than the next most popular thread, and 60% more views than the next most popular thread (at the time of this post). Also, as far as bounties go, this one has given out more money than any other post in the history of the division (including Mr.Adam's bounty on all eGO admin members, which gave out 1.2 million or so.)

Additionally, I've made some blog posts about this thread to keep this last post from going crazy. Check out This post to figure out what the heck all those poems actually meant, and This post to see why I picked the kings that I picked. Feel free to comment there about them. Shortly, I'll also be releasing a blog post about how I felt the bounty went; some behind the scenes stuff that you guys didn't see, some funny things, and what it was like. Stay tuned for that one later on.

As a final note, I just want to thank each and every one of you who participated; you made this thread awesome, not me. I merely provided the idea. I'm heading back to my second year of university at the start of next week, and so my site activity is going to drop through the floor. This may well be one of the last things I do with eGO, and I'm really happy with how it went. It was a ton of fun to run.

Thanks again folks, and your money is being parceled out as we speak

Noise · Sep 1, 2010

this has been the funnest 2 weeks of tf2 ever not counting updates.

Artinz · Sep 1, 2010

I feel that this is necessary.
/epic win thread

Jawneh · Sep 1, 2010

I am now the 14th richest member, sitting comfortably on +800k casino cash.

After the tokens came out to steal King doms, I was really considering on stealing one or two of those, but I had gotten into other things around that time, so I never really had the time to go dominate people. I only came on at random times until yesterday/today when I played a little bit longer.

I loved the whole bounty. Sadly I wasn't active with it towards the end.

RBrandon · Sep 1, 2010

<3 Marine4God

and Noise and Modus

It was really fun trying for the dominations and watching events unfold, even if I didn't get a payout. We should do it again sometime! We just need to find someone with 1.5 million casino cash...

ModusPwnens · Sep 1, 2010

That was epic, Dread!!!!!

By the way, I love how I won 0% on your graph </3

crazyrockets · Sep 1, 2010

Yayy!!! Now...time to hoard my monies until the next bounty

Thank you very much Dread!!! It was lots of fun!!!
Thanks also to everyone that helped (or hunted, I'm not partial) me out these last two weeks!!!!
I'm looking forward to next time!!!!!!!

Excel doesn't like fractions of percents... apparently 5k isn't a big enough part of 1.5 million to matter

But, at least you got on the graph... you're one of only a select few

Thanks so much for the encouragement and everything folks... like I said before, it wouldn't have been nearly as good were it not for all of you. I merely admin'd it and organized it.

ModusPwnens · Sep 1, 2010

lmao

Thanks for being a mentlegen, Rbrandon, thanks for hosting the most epic bounty, Dread, and thanks for whacking me with a bucket, crazyrockets!
