The senior forum batting average...what is yours?

We need a big cheer for the big bosses here who run such a wonderful virtual game for us.

The reaction score only counts likes and loves, so if you get a lot of laughs or hugs, that will hurt your batting average.

Sorry, I didn't mean to ruin the game. Sometimes I'm too analytical.

No, on the contrary, it adds to the intrigue. I remember how fun it was to play Little League, but once the coaches started getting SERIOUS about winning, they gathered all kinds of stats...and they played a significant role on whether you could play in the game. I really didn't like how competitive it got and lost interest when I was a 12th grade. It was work not fun.

Batting takes strategy also. Some say to wait on your pitch... ( sometimes it best not to post anything ), what about a bunt, ( just a little/well placed comment ), hit it into the gap ( post something that is surprising )....and no matter how you try, sometimes you just ground out. :)
 
On a board I used to frequent, there was a huge amount of prestige assigned to the number of posts that you had done. Apparently, the more posts you had, the more of an expert you were or the smarter you were or the sooner you were going to heaven, or....

So, there was one woman who had something like 200,000 posts. Out of curiosity, I checked some of posts and she was averaging between 200-300 posts a day. What???? She'd post mostly in the games forum and She'd start a new thread with a title like "Post a Letter". Then she'd post A, followed by a post that just said B, and so on. Then there'd be "Post a Number"..... that thread was good for a thousand postings.

The powers-that-be decided to eliminate the post count. What a chorus of scalded cats followed.

This is strictly for fun not serious.

When you click on a members avatar it shows your # of messages and your reactions score. Divide your reactions score by your # of messages and it will give your batting average. For you baseball fans an average of around 250 is reliable, above that and your hitting good. If it is over 300 you probably are batting in the first four in the line up. :ROFLMAO:

Divide your reactions score (8407)by your # of messages(2983) and it will give your batting average...

If this was baseball they wouldn't let me even be the batboy! :unsure:

Actually I'm wrong. I forgot you can get numerous reactions to one post, unlike baseball where you can't get more than one hit per at bat, so you're reactionb score of 2.81 is otherworldly and could not be achieved in baseball by a perfect player. You da man.
To be more like baseball you'd have to just use your posts divided by the number of posts that got any reaction at all be it one or 100.
