The Galatian Equation
Bodies + Event Length - Rain - Distance = Attendance chance (#*10=%)
B = GG + DAN + W((GM + K)/2) + (W-DO)
E = (LE+D-(T/GG)) * (HM*EF/100)
R = (((HR/100) * HH)/24) - ((100-LR)/100 * HL)/24) - (BF/24) + DR + (PR/10)
D = ((M/20 *CG)+L)
GG = Galatians confirmed going (not including Dan and Serban)
GM = Galatians who may be going (Serban is always considered a GM, even if he is confirmed)
DAN = If Dan buckled in a vehicle, then DAN = 1
DO = Number of Galatians definitely out
W = Number of Warlords expected to attend
K = See Kaliban Worksheet
GF = Number of girl friends going (I haven’t fit this in yet, but I know it is a factor)
M = How far away the event is in miles
L = See Location Worksheet
CG = Cost of Gas over $2.00
D = Number of days at event
LE = Number of complete weeks since last event, can not exceed 8.
T = Tents to set up and take down
HM = Hours of melee
EF = Estimated number of fighters
DR = If raining while driving to event, DR = 2 otherwise DR= 0
HR = Highest percentage of rain
HH = Hours at highest percentage of rain
LR = Lowest percentage of rain
HL = Hours at lowest percentage of rain
BF = Hours that the percentage of rain is less than 50%
PR = Percentage of rain when packing up tent. If T = 0, then PR = 0.
Kaliban Worksheet
K = Number of Galatians that need an armor repair minus all Galatians that have been knocked out by the hammer. If the whereabouts of Kaliban are unknown, then K = 0
Location Worksheet
L = 0
Is the event in New Jersey? If yes add 3.
Is the event in West Virginia, and is more than 10 miles from the border? If yes add 2.
Is the event in West Virginia, but is NOT more than 10 miles from the border? If yes add 1.
Is the Site Fee over $10? If yes add 1.
Do we know where the nearest hospital is? If yes add 1. (this is not a typo)
Is Clayson driving? If yes add .5.
Is this our first time at the event? If yes subtract 2.
Do the people running the event hook us up with booze? If yes subtract 2.
Is the event Pennsic? If yes subtract 3.
Is the event Fall War? If yes subtract 1.
Are we getting paid? If yes subtract .5.
Are we getting paid well? If yes subtract 1.
Is there a White Castle/Krystal Burger in walking distance? If yes subtract 2.
