Just a quick thread to post this. I went through and attempted to find all of the living player slots in ongoing games. I counted them up by game type. I did include games in pregame.

This is interesting as I assumed there would be FAR more mini-theme player slots than any other games, but that turns out not to be even remotely true. I think mini-themes are usually designed to go a lot quicker than other games. Also, it can't help that there was a recent clog in the mini-theme circuit. Newbie games are notoriously slow, so it's not too much of a surprise that a lot play there. Large Themes are, well, large so it's not too surprising that it outnumbers other games.

By the way, I have a certain level of hate for moderators who don't post a "Living" list on the front page. I feel a smaller annoyance at moderators who don't number their alive lists or do that thing where each player is a number and then they just remove the number and the player from the alive list. A special part of my heart goes out to those who put at the top of their alive list "Alive (10/13)"
