Madness and mayhem abound in this bestselling game of Lovecraftian horror
Hello everyone! As many of you know or have seen, forum Ancient One MCFlainez used to run a site where he'd collect user-submitted Arkham game results. Occasionally he would post summaries of these submissions in the form of Arkham stats reports.
Well, since MCFlainez was lost in time and space years ago, I've taken it upon myself to carry the torch.
You can submit your Arkham Horror sessions at this site:
Arkham Horror Statistics – Submission form
On the 1st of every month (computer access permitting), I will update this stats summary page:
Arkham Horror Statistics Reports
You can view all the player submissions in cell format here:
Submissions to date
or in html-table format here:
Submissions (old format)
You're welcome to ask questions and make suggestions about the stats form in this thread. Since I've created the new Stats Report page, you can now ask for corrections in this thread, or you can email me at tibs.chris@gmail.com.
Enjoy and happy gaming!
"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.

Has anyone won with "Join the Winning Team" yet?

Great work, man! Very fun and interesting to read!

FFG
Are you not entertained?
Wow, thanks a lot for taking over and keeping up the great work, Tibs! 
That's quite a bit of interesting figures to digest.

What, no love for Marie? Dread curse + a .45 and that multi-appendaged freak becomes a stone cold killing machine.
I'm also surpirised that Glaaki has such a bad rep. Haven't played him yet, but he never seemed that tough.
Also I'm very much a fan of Bast. I don't think most realise that the ability to corral monsters where you want them is so amazingly useful.
I'm an antiquarian, dammit!

• Undefeated combos
These are combinations of Ancient Ones and Heralds that have been attempted at least once, but have not been won by the investigators:
- Azathoth / Dark Pharaoh
Ah, man, I did Az + DP and did Join the Winning Team in that game 
!
Tibs said:
Number of reported games where the AO awoke a given way:
Call Ancient One spell 1
Darn, that's mine !
@ Criswell: I always use random investigators, so I can go long stretches without seeing a particular one.
A dirty mind is its own reward.
IIRC, there have been 3 "failures" by "Joining the Winning Team." The reason I have it as "failure" is thematic, and the Azathoth / Dark Pharaoh thing I guess is just a consequence of that. Still, the investigators did not defeat Azathoth / Dark Pharaoh! In fact, Dam just doomed the world!
There has been one victory by "For the Greater Good" mission.
Marie is low on the chart because I accidentally replaced everyone's entries of Marie on the first 850 sessions with Diana. This also explains why Diana is in 2nd place. I was curious why Marie only had 10 submissions when characters from Kingsport had in the 50s. When I get to work I'll post the revision of that list.
In case anyone didn't notice, I added a "devoured by 0 sanity and stamina simultaneously" checkbox to the "special events" section.

Great stuff !
Would you have a statistics of the use of extensions (none, DH, DH+KH, etc... all possible combinations) and their success rates ? Just to see which extensions (or their combinations) really make the game more challenging. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I cannot do that. Apparently when you use an array function in Excel, you cannot use wildcards in your search parameters.
So I can't, for example, find out how many times Daisy was involved in a Victory, or how many Defeats used any given expansion, etc. I may not even be able to find out how many people used how many expansions.
In fact, I have to completely sort the results and re-enter the field parameters manually in order to find out that information about the Dunwich Horror herald increasing the chances of the Horror awakening.
If anyone who's an expert at Excel wants to give me some pointers on this matter, that would be great. In the meantime, there's not much more I can do, sorry.

• Unattempted combos
These are combinations of Ancient Ones and Heralds that have not yet been attempted:
- Yog-Sothoth / Dark Pharaoh*
*Seriously, guys? I'm surprised!
The next couple of games I was going to use base game + CotDP + Pharaoh herald, so I'll definitely give this combo a try!
Tibs said:
• Undefeated combos
These are combinations of Ancient Ones and Heralds that have been attempted at least once, but have not been won by the investigators:
- Azathoth / Dark Pharaoh
That's another combo on my list (as is Ithaqua + Dark Pharaoh), since those are the two least often used GOOs for me so far.
Tibs said:
• Team size vs. Chance to win
Percent of games won by certain sized investigator teams:
Clearly we see a bell-curve pattern emerging here.
That fits my theory quite nicely! One of the players in my regular group firmly believes 'more players = easier game' - that'll show him 
Tibs said:
• Special events
The number of games in which a given special event occured
Dual-Color OW battle 29
I wonder how many of these have actually been won? So far we've had no luck there, though we've been incredibly close once.
Edit: Did I mention I hate this editor?! How can you multiquote messages properly? Breaking up the quote blocks doesn't seem to work

Well, I am myself a programmer, but I'd rather work with a Python script than with Excel macros. If you do not mind, is it possible to send me a copy of the table not only in Excel format, but also OpenDocument format (ODS) (Google should allow you to do this) ? I could write a parser in Python that would collect the stats and would then be reusable (I'll release them of course). I cannot do that this week-end unfortunately, but next week I can try it. Thanks.

Be nice if this post could be fixed permenantly on the front page.

The thread never got stickied on the old forums, so I don't expect it to be here. Plus I can understand if it's not in FFG's best interest to sticky a thread that reveals the true difficulty of some of its characters. I mean, the analysis of Final Combat successes alone is kind of revealing.
In case anyone didn't see, I added a new checkbox to track which rumors you passed/failed.
I'm writing this sentence as of July 13, 2010, a year and a half after this was originally posted. Not only has this thread been stickied (obviously), but I just now noticed that FFG's own The Spaniard actually remarked on this thread! Awesome!
