NW-XFac First Saturdays

Statistics

How the First Saturday has grown, and how the two factions have balanced across it. Every figure is computed from the committee's own stat sheets — totals for the day, never anyone's lifetime score.

Agents per event, by year

The site's best story: a recovery after two years of decline.

Covers 2023 to 2026. Each point is that year's attendances divided by its events.

Faction balance over time

Two series on one scale. Both are shares of the same total, so they are directly comparable.

Share of attendances — an agent counts once for each event they attended, not once overall.

Share is of attendances. Counted by distinct agents instead, the Resistance share moves the other way for 2023–2025 — which is why the denominator is stated rather than left to be inferred.

Figures are what each agent added on the day — a delta, never a lifetime total. Agents who have asked for a hidden profile are excluded from named listings, and still counted in the totals.
