This week's payments have been sent. You can view the transaction here.

Because it's fun playing with data, I decided to see the stats of Merit for users in the campaign.
Some interesting facts:
- Average participant has earned 28.7 merit
- The total amount of earned merit is 1666 merit (at the time of this post - merit counts for most users should automatically update)
- Members in the campaign have received 2.7% of all merit given on the forum Shocked

- Range: 0 to 138

Just thought it was interesting, not doing anything else with it yet.

That is an absurdly high percentage of merit for how few participants there are in reference to how many people are squirming for merit. I'm actually baffled by these numbers and think it's really cool to just start keeping track of a few merit stats, even if you're not doing anything with them yet. The range is pretty absurd too, not that I would expect any different, but it gives us a very fair average. Would be interesting to see these numbers compared across the board with other campaigns. Might be a fun project if nothing else.

I know! I do plan on continuing to track them, as I wrote a few formulas to automatically scrape merit count, and earned merits (breaks if they have a Copper membership and for a few for reasons I don't know), so it's very little effort (updating the ~5 people that it breaks on manually).

Update: All automated... until someone does a rank up. But it's getting there.
