Notes:

Junk posts ("whoops", "wrong thread", etc.) were identified and removed from the dataset before the calculation of statistics. This explains certain discrepancies, e.g. why the length of chapter 2 is given as 520 posts, even though it lasted from post #441 to #962.

When calculating the duration of each chapter, I have taken into account all hiatuses announced by the GM in the discussion thread. So for example, 37 days passed between the start and end of Chapter 6, but I've put down its length as 29 because there was an 8-day hiatus during it.

"Active players" is defined as: number of players (not counting the GM) who made at least one post during the chapter.

The word count data is different from my 2017 statistics. That's because I had a bug in my word-counting scripts back then.

Notes:

Junk posts not counted.

"Chapters active" is defined analogously as above.

Since some of a player's posts may feature two different PC's (when switching from one character to another), the above totals don't always precisely agree with the overall number of player's posts.

Longest/shortest posts

Top ten longest posts made by the players (not the GM):

#14431 (2,893 words) — Lewis calls Vivi on day 15. (Oceanstuck)
#8300 (2,525 words); #8325 (2,249 words); #8257 (2,176 words) — Jack Frost watches Rise of the Guardians. (Alleydodger)
