Missing Free Companies: 0.0015% (6/381,488)

Categories:

• Free Companies
  
• Free Company housing
  
• Free Company relocations (Nov-April)
  
• Plot distribution
• Ward distribution
  
• New FC houses since the previous census
  
• Misc

Need to deal with a couple of gremlins in the DB, but nothing too crazy.

I do not recommend viewing on a mobile device unless you are on wifi and have a large screen.

Do your charts for Free Company Houses account for all available plots or are they only plots owned by FCs? Looking at Atomos (my world), it looks like we've got an excess of FC plots with only 132 FCs at rank 6 or higher, with a min of 10 members, not owning a house. Am I reading that correctly?

It is impossible to track personal or vacant plots from the Lodestone. This report focuses solely on Free Companies and Free Company housing.

Regarding the second half of your post, that is indeed correct.

A look into what kind of characters are behind the EVIL SHELL FCs that are the bane of Jojoya or Albungus' existence. How surprising the Japanese are beating us... again... who would have thought?

I love this one! Is there a way to drill in and see what Large they are collecting?

Based on your own charts, if you adjust it to the bare minimum FC level which is 6, then adjust to only leaders with a lvl of at least 90 and take away all crafting classes that leaves us with a very different story. Spriggan is the number one shell FC producer with 395, followed by Kujata (130), Excalibur (125), Zeromus(115), and Louisoux(112). Japan is not the #1 producer of Shell FC's it seems to be Europe, based on the top 5 and the numbers alone. If we extend it to top 10, we include Chocobo, Midgardsormr, Twintania, Omega, and Typhon. Again Europe seems to be in the lead.

For funsies I lowered the leaders level to 50 and only allowed for the 6 starting classes to be used, which is almost a guaranteed way to tell if a FC is a shell or not. Gladiator, Pugilist, Conjurer, Maruader, Lancer, and Thaumaturge. Spriggan again is number 1 with a staggering 319, Kujata (88), Excalibur Loisoux, and Midgardsormr tied (75). Top 5 still Europe. With NA in second. Lets extend this to the top 10. Omega(74), Chocobo(71), Typhon(67), Ragnarok and Twintania tied (55). Looking like Europe with a strong lead so far. Based on top 10 Europe with a solid lead, Japan is second and NA is third.

I could go on, also by default Japan has more servers, so by default they probably do in fact have more shell fc's but I didn't bother to count past the top 10.

You can use the same filters: https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/re...e/p_qfvvjhpguc

Are you high?

Again, are you high? I fixed your second set of filters for you and drilled up because you didn't know how to do it obviously.

Now, let me ask you a few questions.

Why level 90 and not the GC status?

Why take away crafting classes?

6 starting jobs? Really? Then you have the audacity to speak of a guaranteed way! Do you play this game?

I know it might be difficult for you to accept it, but you must understand that the thing you despise is much more spread out on the JP servers and they clearly don't give a shLt

I could go on, also by default Japan has more servers, so by default they probably do in fact have more shell fc's but I didn't bother to count past the top 10.

I don't think you would like to go on since you, admittedly, didn't bother counting past a top 10 that didn't even meet your own requirements while also failing to drill up.

You don't want to talk about how, despite Japan's little interest in large FCs, barely beats NA in terms of total amount of Free Companies even though they have 33% more servers? Would you like to take it further and bring in world population too?

Having more servers doesn't justify anything in this case, but you didn't figure that out yet.

Thank you, as usual with your valuable dataset. That hard data's always interesting to me.

As always it puts a lot of conspiracy theories to bed. Not that the OF will ever change.
