Activity is the key
•
by Etemenanki
Back many months ago just before I got into congress, someone, I honestly don’t remember who, published for two months the activity numbers of congress. I have always thought that was an interesting and unique way of taking a look at congress. I also believe it is quite an important method of looking at congress, because no matter what your congressman says, if he doesn’t bother to show up in congress then he won’t actually do anything for you. As such, I have taken the past couple hours and gone and looked at the number of posts of everyone in congress. To qualify, a post had to be first done on Oct 26th, and in either Open or Closed congress.

I have also taken the time to figure out a post/person for each party, such is presented below.
Alright, well, I dunno how to get the image to show up full size, it was working for a while. If anyone knows, feel free to comment on how to get it full size, otherwise just right click and view it.
Thanks.

didn't do any math, but on the surface, the UN seemed to have the best activity rate, per congressman.
Etemenanki is pretty awesome.
Good stuff, just in time.
Etem is good stuff.

Some people just have a lot to say, I'd personally be more interested in the voting attendance.
Damn good work there though.
Well done mate
voted,nice job.
That was actually me, punishing these rates... Man that was a lot of counting 😁
I love statistics like that. : )
Nice work, etemenanki.
Voted
People should really have this stats in mind when they go to the voting pool.
Thanks for only doing a post count and not a word count. I'd look like a real loser if you'd done that. I seriously need to get a job that requires me to do real work. Hmm, then again a 5-6 post per day average isn't really all that unreasonable, is it? Ok, maybe a little.
I guess that people who post a lot also take the time to vote on important matters. I really like those stats, I wish they would be released on a monthly basis.
Etem is a butt!
Okay I kid...well done, this sort of reporting should be done monthly...its very telling!
etemenanki: you're the best! Awesome stats!!
Is there a new way to do it or do you still have to count every post by hand?
This is an extremely valuable tool for the eCanadian voter
Appreciate the time you put into this. Now if congressional voters would ever take time to consider things like this, we might get things done as a country.
Very interesting
The NCEP/Norse guys in particular need to explain their activity levels - is that party dead other than the few obvious rogue players or were they boycotting congress?
Union Nationale is AWESOME!

Kilgore Trout's complete failure to identify and run a congress election resulted in only 1 candidate making it to congress under the former CEP
Popandlock was a DAL candidate and I of course have been unjustly banned form the congress forums
Such lists usually doesn't show who works hard but who doesn't at all.
So having more comment doesn't mean saying more.
This is a damn good list produced by a damn good man.
Where am I in this list?...
I guess Etemanki was bored. I MEAN REALLY BORED, to count the number of posts and percentage of posts made by each party member and every congressman. That is why we need people who are bored to be in power. They get stuff done.
DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THIS! VOTE BLAD ANYWAYS!
Good work, Etem!
As to the question of votes, I counted each and every post that was made in both open door congress, and open door voting as being in Open Door, likewise for the closed stuff.
And yes, it was all done by counting posts, which took about two hours. It wasn't a matter of being bored though, it was a matter of wanting it done. Ralph I believe it was actually reminded me of this a couple of weeks ago.
The best congressman are with the UN, DAL, EPIC and Aeriala with the CPF.
Good job guys
~hyuu~
I really admire your dedication to this game Etemenanki and your obvious desire to produce the best possible scenarios for eCan.

Great article and good research!
Also, next time, try counting the topics created too 🙂
Amazing job Etemenanki, kudos.
And its nice to see my activity levels were comparatively good for my term.
impressive activity, DAL
Impressive activity, UN
EXCELLENT! This is such a good post. 🙂
Thumbs up for the effort.
However, a lot of what is defined as activity was the back-and-forth sniping about "so-and-so is a poopypants, ban him from something-or-other", or the TCO/CAF firestorm.
Dell: Actually most of that took place outside of the open and closed congress forums and instead took place in the legislative branch page, so it was not counted.
We need one of these articles every election. VOTED!
I see the voters are rewarding Dade Pendwyn for his massive contribution last month in congress
Dade's contribution is about 1/3 of your entire party, you know
This is very insightful, I might add that i am also in US congress, with the exchange.
