Congrats Chap.

Since it's the off season I thought I'd take another look at some of the strategy charts for the 6 seasons I've done with it and examine it again.













If you take a look at the 6 winners, you'll see a few things in common.
-They have no more then two S3's (I know only one winner has 2, but Earl & Yul had at least one very borderline S3 episode in the merge that's listed as an S2)
-They have no more then 4 S0's.
-They are generally a mix of S1's and S2's, with a few S0's, and maybe 1 or 2 S3's.
-They're either neutral, or + overall, never too -.

Unfortunately though, that's about where the similarities end. Winners tend to have some very different strategy edits, I mean Parvati got four S0's, five S1's, and only one S3, while Todd got no S0's, only three S1's, and two S3's. That's about as different as you can get. These two aren't just anomalies either, Earl was almost as big of a player as Todd, and Danni had about the same amount of strategy talk as Parvati, though probably a little bit more then her based on the numbers on the chart.

It seems to me like it's very hard to eliminate people based on strategy ratings, unless they had zero strategy talk, or several -'s. But if you have a bunch of -'s then chances are you're getting an edit of the stupid villain and we already know you won't win. And if you have like six or more S0's chances are we already know that you're getting a too UTR/bland static neutral MOR edit and aren't winning.

When it comes to identifying an early winner strategy edit, that's also very difficult. I mean some had 3 S0's in the first 6 episodes, Parvati was just a mix of S1's and S0's, with just a single S2 in the first episode for the first 7 episodes. But Todd was four S2's an S3 (though in a very important episode in the midseason), and two S1's. It seems like there's almost no limit to how much strategy is too much strategy, unless you get three or more S3's. Too little strategy though can be defined as an S0 after the merge, or getting five or more S0's.

But basically, I don't know if I want to do strategy ratings for another season if there's only a little bit of information to be learned from it, and that information that can be learned is stuff that we should have already known.
