Easy for me. I've never played online.

I was too sleepy to do the math when I posted that, but Darvin has the right approach.  First we need to guestimate how many total games have ever been played on ICO.  (This reminds me of one of those silly high school physics exercises where you're supposed to guestimate how many total bandaids are in your city or something silly like that.)

So, if when 100 people are playing there are 25 games up, and if the average number of players on ICO is 80, then the average number of games at any one time is 20 (0.25 games/player * 80).  If each game takes an average of 2 hours, then there would be 12 gaming sessions * 20 games/session = 240 games per day.  So, if I play an average of 2 games per day, that's 2/240 = 0.83%.

I bet JJ would be over 1%.

Estimating about 200000 total games played ever, you'd need 2000 games just to hit 1% of total games played.  I'm not sure even JJ has that.  I myself would have less than a tenth of a percent... and to get a measly hundredth of a percent you'd need to play 20 games.

It's easy to say you only need to maintain an "average" of 2 games per day, but I don't think anyone is that consistant.

Do you think an average of 80 players online, 20 games going at one time is about accurate? We could figure out the number of days since the game's release and then calculate the total number of games played.

365 + 366 (2008 was a leap year) - 17 days (until Feb 4) = 714 days since release. At 240 games per day * 714 = 171,360 games played on ICO. If you had played 1000 games, you would have played in 0.584% of all games ever played.

I'm guessing that I've done about 1500 games total, so that puts me at 0.875%.

I think JJ would definitely hit the 1% mark. What's kind of scary is that it's quite possible that 10% of all ICO activity can be accounted for by a handful of players, perhaps 15 people.

Ubers right.

I am thinking the smurfers such as BlackHawk, Siddy, quar, and tyr etc have about 1%, i am thinking jj has about 2.5%
