#percentages

Hi, anon!

Lol, i was waiting for someone to ask about this.

A disclaimer - if i ever see even the slightest sign of them changing PR strategies/narratives due to this, i'll get paranoid and stop. I do not want to make things difficult for them.

This was my take on the 24th of feb and my theories:

----------‐---

Now i'm like theory no 1 (10%) and theory no 2 (90%). So that one's changed a lot. Mostly it's about K. Hudson could still be bi and not gay, but i'm leaning more and more towards gay.

Between 2.1 and 2.2 i'm now 40% for 2.1 and 60% for 2.2.

I've always recognised the sexual attraction between them, but i'm not sold completely on the romantic attraction and that they've acted on their attraction. I can't figure out if they've been together almost since the beginning, if they're in the process of figuring things out, or if they're in the crushing phase where they're hesitating to jeopardise the friendship between them and are feeling each other out.

It must be so hard for them having all this happening in front of an audience. Especially if they're trying to figure out where they stand and what they want, and if it's worth the risk. They're going to have to act together for years to come, and navigate the public interest in their relationship while trying to individually establish themselves as actors. They can't be "Hudson Williams, half of Hudcon" or "Hudson Williams' boyfriend, Connor Storrie". I really get that. If they need K there to control fan reactions that could lead to a branding that won't serve them, then so be it tbh.

I don't undrstand how people say red is the "logical" option, because it doesn't seem to be, in my opinion.

Depending on what outcome you desire of course, if you want to make sure YOU survive then of course the red button (unless you trust blue will win), but everyone is trying to make sure that most people can survive, and in that case the blue button is the most logical.

In a case where discussion isn't available the best to do is vote blue, because not everyone will vote red, that's just a fact, and so we can expect that most people will vote blue, because humans care for eachother like that.

And in a case where discussion IS available the best option is STILL to vote blue, because again, not everyone will vote red, and now with the certainty that the majority will vote blue we have even MORE of a percentage going to blue, meaning definitely more than 50%, meaning a 100% survival rate.

So.

People WILL die if red wins, and people WILL survive if blue wins.

I think it's very simple.

Thank you so much for this ask! What an interesting data set this one is! Lots of unexpected information.

So first off, if you just want to visualize the author breakdown, ta-dahhhh!

Seward was staunchly in the lead, talking his head off and burning through those wax recording drums like no ones business. Poor Mina for having to transcribe it all. In total his words made up 39.3% of Dracula. Nearly 40%!

Seward unsurprisingly had the most individual entries overall at 47, and had the longest streak for being the narrator in an entry at 10 days (09/02 - 09/11) with Mina following right behind at 9 days (08/10 - 08/19)

Mina surprisingly was 3rd overall both in word count and number of entries. She wasn't even in the top 3 for most words in a day which is as follows.

1 - Seward October 3rd - 9942 words

2 - Seward September 29th - 7206 words

3 - Jonathan October 3rd - 5944 words

Van Helsing only had 9 entries total but still came in number 4 for word count, in front of Lucy. It's interesting to note that the amount a person writes doesn't correlate to the amount of time they are being written about/appear. Which is why Arthur and Quincey don't even beat out the newspaper clippings for words, lol.

There are lots of authors we only hear from a single time, like Sister Agatha. So I've decided to make a small fry pie as well. (Authors under ~500 words)

The captain of the Demeter and Van Helsing both had more days written than Lucy! Though I didn't break up number of entries, like when the log of the Demeter had 3 or 4 on one day or Lucy wrote a letter and in her diary.
