"clique strength"- calculated MLB style
« on: September 09, 2009, 06:18:32 PM »
This may sound nuts, but I decided to try something today. I started various fights between various pairs of students to get an "average" of how good certain students are against other particular students. (Don't ask me why I did this, just bored I guess)
  The way I did it is based on how MLB (Major League Baseball) keeps track of teem and player stats. First, I made teams: Nerds, Bullies, Preps, etc. so that each clique could have an average. The I made win/lose columns for each time an individual won or lost a fight. Keep in mind that not all players were involved in an equal amount of fights, and not each "team" played as many games as another may have. For now I have the results, some of which may be surprising. The averages will come later.

 Team:                                            
 Nerds:       Win: 19    Lose: 46  Games Played: 65
 Bullies:       Win: 48   Lose: 20   Games Played: 68
 Non-Clique: Win: 14   Lose: 36   Games Played: 50
 Preppies:    Win: 19   Lose: 22   Games Played: 41
 Jocks:       Win: 35    Lose: 13   Games Played: 48
 Greasers:   Win: 28    Lose: 21   Games Played: 49

Interesting Scientific Survey there, Mike....Seems to bear out the overwhelming visual evidence that the Bullies, Jocks, and Greasers are about the best fighters at the school...

Other than Jimmy, that is...............:p

Wait 'til I get the other, more personal stats up, basically some members of cliques are more MVP worthy than others, and I don't mean the obvious Russells and Damons, some characters have shockingly high or low "fighting averages".
