Hot Air Program - 1 Year On

Day 5,173, 09:52 • Published in Canada Canada • by Canadian Civil Defence


Hot Air Program has just completed it's 52nd week, which means the Hot Air Program has officially become 1 year old.

To mark this momentous occasion, we will look at some wonderful stats of the program, as we head into a second year, with just as much success as we have had in the past year, if not more!

Hot Air Program, by the numbers:

19,322,960 - The amount of cc handed out through the program!
2,178,144 - The total number of air kills made by participants!
8.9516 - The average payment per kill throughout the year!
63 - The number of unique citizens that enrolled at one point in the year!

Other Fun Information:
The 5 millionth dollar was paid in Week 17.
The payment system was changed in Week 25, from 5 cc per kill to the current 200 cc per square root of kills.
The 10 millionth dollar was paid in Week 35.
Our First Air Epic was hosted during Week 38.
The 15 millionth dollar was paid in Week 45.

By the graph:



Throughout the year, the average pay per week has more than doubled from when the program first began.



Throughout the year, the average number of kills per week has approximately doubled from when the program first began.

Going Forward

Going Forward, the Hot Air Program continues to be a staple of the eCanadian identity and community. It is the main source of subsidy to citizens, the biggest expense on the government's ledger, and it has proved to be effective in encouraging eCanadians to fight in the air and increase their rank.

At the beginning of the Hot Air Program, most citizens were ranked Chief Master Sergeant or lower. Now the majority of eCanadians have reached the rank of Wing Commander.

It is expected that the 20 millionth dollar will be paid out for the Hot Air Program during Week 54.

The rate of pay has increased over time, with it taking 17 weeks to spend the first 5 million, 18 weeks to spend the next 5 million, then only 10 weeks to spend the next 5 million, and potentially only 8 or 9 weeks to spend up to the 20 millionth dollar.

By getting stronger, eCanada has been able to more easily manage our Training Wars, allowing us to add more training wars than we've ever had before. At the same time, citizens are able to compete more easily for sky hero medals and with more options, eCanadians are able to farm more gold today than they were a year ago.

Here's to another year!
