Since the thread is already here, might as well continue with it

The dark union event has ended. Here's some data: highscore pp 444, rank 11065.

Holy shit, although very expected.

I'm really busy today to recollect data, but of course anyone that wants to share, is welcome

I'm interested to know if we can calculate the number of unions and players that rely on para-train to run their union rankings.

If we do have this information, calculating the cut off point for the demon clears and individual PP for non para-train users could really help in not resulting in a futile body abuse session every single union event.

There's two good ways to go about this:
1. Everyone strong just joins a few strong Unions. There is plenty of dead weight in Ixion for example, and seeing how Drama Club dropped to... 22 people before this event, I assume clean-up was the reason why. Anyway, this way, everyone automatically gets their best rankings with minimal amount of effort.
2. Co-operation. Sharing the same amount of kills results in you all getting the #1(-#5) awards. For example, if the entire community decides that Thou Shalt Only Do 100 Ult Kills, then you can have ALL the Unions get the full Dragon Eye Shards.

Realistically speaking, I've never seen #2 come into fruition in anything other than extremely small scale. Which is why people tend to flock to tactic#1. Power begets more power.

Damn, I never actually considered option 2 to be a thing...

The top level unions could certainly co-ordinate that if they're willing to though, it only becomes a problem if you're trying to control 9-10k players, or 500 (if I'm being optimistically realistic on the number of hardcore players?)
