Pesterlog Statistics: Act 3

The person who says the most is Rose again, but John beats her if you count writing.

[Act 1] [Act 2]

There are 5599 words spoken/written by characters in Act 3, spread between 21 pesterlogs, 3 commands, 5 letters, and 1 GameFAQ entry. (plus 1243 words from repeated pesterlogs).

The average pesterlog length is 235.8 words, with the longest at 620 words and the shortest at 5 words.

The most developed relationship is John and Rose (big surprise), with 7 pesterlogs and 1150 words (+192 in John’s letter) between them.

The least developed relationship is Dave and John, with 2 pesterlog and only 15 words between them, all said by Dave.

The most unbalanced relationship is Dave and Jade, which doesn’t have a quantifiable ratio because it’s just Dave rambling at Jade for 283 words with no reply.

The most balanced relationship is John and Jade, with Jade only talking 3.2% more than John.

Graphs and breakdown under the cut!

Note: a conversation (as opposed to a pesterlog) lasts until at least one of the participants signs out of pesterchum.

Note the second: I only counted written words that were A) written to someone (even just ‘the internet’) and B) actually in the comic (no sbahj or character blogs for you)
