It almost seems as if the housing thing is what's really causing the shutdown you describe. Guess there should have been a 'housing patch 2.39' or something so they could just expand housing and get it out of the way. Oh well, the milk has been spilled already. At least they are fixing it all with one fell swoop. Kinda nice, but that still means us players in the boonies will once again be the last online. >.>Quote:

12.7% of all births in 2013 took place in October* based off USA data.
Thus at 600k sub\\'s we can say that 76200 players account for about the number of people with a birthday in October. Now assuming a even breakdown over the course of the month (31 days) we get about 2458 people who would be born today.
Happy birthday, your not that special. -

also your statistics play on from 2013 meaning they are 1 year olds :P
not being mean but statistics mean nothing i mean hell theres a 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000063% chance of you being born relatively speaking there is a micro chance of us not even excisting, hell the chance of us DIEING is somehow higher then the chance of us living yet the chance of someone buying a game is higher then that XD
(i did a bunch of statistics as part of my major so i love when people pull it up XD)
also 96.45% of all statistics are made up :P
also to the OP
thank you for the blated birthday wish ^w^ i may not of got 2.4 but i did beat odin :D so i am happy that way :D -
10-28-2014, 05:34 AMKatsushiroSince you like numbers... Even though it's an estimate, if you took the amount in your final sample of about twenty-five hundred people in the context of the rest of the world (about seven billion), I'd say that's at least kind of special. I may be an English major, but I know at least that much about statistics. lol Thus, "your not that special" seems kinda groundless and unnecessary; especially since it is by b-day (and possibly 2458 others'). -.- And learn how to spell, it's you're.Quote:

Draco, are you arguing that the birth numbers of babies in October 2013 in the US are not at least a rough indicator of a tendency from year to year? I mean, do you think it was ~12% in 2013, but 40% in 1980? Do you think there are big variations from one western country to another?
Newsflash. Children born in October were conceived in January (as a general rule of thumb), one of the coldest months of the year. There is some correlation there which has been known about for a long time. Oh, and very late October could be linked to early February. You know. Valentine's day, wink wink nudge nudge. -
10-28-2014, 05:36 AMKatsushiroIt's true. XPQuote:

There's really only about a 76.4% chance of that though. -

Opps quoted wrong person... Hah
Well I am very sorry that I typed that wrong. My point still stands he/she not alone or special.
Then again maybe you think SE picked his birthday just because of him/her. -
10-28-2014, 05:49 AMDracotheDragonno not arguing that but when using statistics of just the USA without taking the EU and JP players plus different lands have different highest birthrates, going by 2 birth statistics one of the uk and one of the whole of the EU, the highest months were august and july meaning the people to have procreation, would of been in november to october, plus going by the guidelines of a rule of thumb using the statistics i found within a US paper it is very unlikely for 3 people to share a birthday within one family, my family is made of 5 people (only counting my parents and my siblings) 4 of which have there birthdays one after another in january :P,Quote:

i simply see his information as incorrect and also aimed in mean spirits with his message, so i wished to ruin his fun :3 by using statistics he used. also for the record births are unaffected by valentines day yes there may be more procreation but the numbers are much higher around september and december, meaning births would be aimed towards may and sepember :p,
also wink wink nudge nudge christmas present under the missile toe, eh, nudge nudge, say no more? say no more!
nahh man were just human we love to argue and find patterns :P to be fair i think were all just talking here while waiting for 2.4 :D i do hope all of you have fun in that patch by the by, also maybe the "he isn't special" is kinda a bit mean D: but its like saying your scared of zombies and you turn on the tv and its nothing but zombie films XD, you tend to blame powers above you :DQuote:
