The Big Werewolf Turbo Database Project!

Operation Turbo is a go! That is, if you guys are willing to help out.

I now have access to all turbos ever. So that's the first part taken care of.

Now we "just" need to manually enter the data from all these turbos.

I don't know how many turbos there are. I know that there are 633 turbos from the archive server and I know that there are 660 pages (25 threads per page) on this server that needs combing through for turbos (I'll do this, don't worry). I don't know what would be a reasonable estimate, but let's say 1.5 turbos per page on average? This would bring the total to about 1600 turbos. A small percentage of these have already been recorded though as per the King of the Hill thread and TimeLady also recorded data for 2010 I believe, but this data is incomplete - hopefully we can just add to this though (please say this data has links?).

I just timed myself entering data and this is what I got:
- 20 minutes for 3 archive turbos
- 14 minutes for 3 non-archive turbos

That's around 211 hours for the archive turbos and 231 hours for the non-archive turbos = 442 hours in total (or 18½ days). Assuming of course that all my estimates are correct and that the pace will average out to the pace that I timed for myself here, plus this isn't weighing in the amount of time that we save by the work already done in compiling data for turbos.

In any case though, this will be a lot of work.

So clearly, you need my help? What can I do?

No matter what, this will take some time, so don't expect to see the turbo database anytime soon. Even if we had 50 people helping out, they would each on average need to spend a bit less than 9 hours on this project. This doesn't seem realistic.

What we need is a few no-lifers like me who are willing to really dedicate a lot of time to this, and then we need a big group of people who are willing to help out with smaller batches of turbos here and there.

So just let us know in this thread if/when you want to take on any of the following batches:

• The Green "Express" Batch: 5 turbos (25-30 minutes)
• The Purple "1337" Batch: 10 turbos (approximately 1 hour)
• The Blue "WIM" Batch: 20 turbos (approximately 2 hours)
• The Red "GOAT" Batch: 50 turbos (approximately 5 hours)

I imagine most people will want to start out with one of the smaller batches and then take it from there.

Sign up here in the thread and I will send you the links. You don't need to do any digging after turbos of your own. You will get a PM with the links that you need to manually enter data for.

Add me on Skype (thingyman) and I can have you ready to enter data in less than 5 minutes.

Bonus: Anyone who ends up having worked on 5+ hours of batches (as per the estimations above) will have a song sung by me dedicated to them. You may even choose the song that I should sing.

green batch for now plz

Sure, add me to your list. I'll do a WIM batch.

I don't get it is there a template in which we can enter the roles nX kills/lunches etc?

Yes. Just add me on Skype and all shall be explained

These guys have already been put to work! Their efforts are greatly appreciated! <3

You plan on having this done before the spring?

I'll take a blue batch from the archive server.

Thanks!

i wrote up all the turbos where iversonian was the OP earlier. this should be a lot easier for putting into ss format than rereading the games.

Thingy I've got stats on teh majority if turbos for this year. Don't have time/cause of death for the majority though.

Hit me up with a pm or on skype and I'll share you all the data soon. I'll be publishing turbo stats for this year within a few days I hope.

I haz TimeLady's data for 2010! I will convert it into the format needed for our database. And add seer peeks.

So 2010 is taken care of! Boom! And with Kaze's data we'll probably have 2013 mostly done, though we need to add time/cause of death to them.

I gotta head out for a few hours, but please keep signing up for batches!

bump

I'll do another blue batch from the old days

Thingy feel free to send me another green batch and ill work on it tomorrow

Hey Thingy... shoot me a green for now... I'll do bigger batches later though...

Thingy, you have some people organizing skills. You should find a way to use them in a career. It's useful and rare.

Man, it warms my heart to return to this! Thanks a lot guys - you have no idea how much it means, thanks! <3

You'll receive your batches shortly!

Haha, thanks Chipsy

I may become a tv or film producer for which such skills would come in handy.

On my way to hockey now Thingy, so I'll do it tomorrow.

Give me details in skype or pm, and I'll check it when I get home.

Some of these old games are pretty cool to reread. And others have flips at must-lynch because no one cast a vote.

And then the mod decides that the player who was lynched d1 was also lynched on d4 as the result of the flip.

Fun game to input!

BUMP

Also, soah has already qualified himself for the bonus - zomg

I'll take a green batch - ideally turbos played in 2013.

Thingy, whenever I finish a batch, you can autoship me a new one. Keep them green though please.

A huge thanks to remedys, Zayana and G0tGame? - the latest additions to Team Turbo
