Clickback Project!

what is this? this is a an on-going project of mine that i'm conducting on pokefarm. over the course of what will probably be a couple months i will be collecting data on clicks and what makes people return them, in simple terms i am trying to figure out the best way to get clickbacks.

please contact me on pokefarm or discord if i'm not presenting my data clearly or if you have any questions/suggestions, very open to improving! c:


after a couple experiments and just general patterns ive noticed in the time i've been playing, i've determined that activity surges on the weekends and progressively gets slower during the weekdays until friday. likely due to the userbase conforming of children and young adults who either have school or work in the middle of the week. but more importantly is the ratios... the sad truth is that only 45-55% of people return clicks on a daily basis, meaning that nearly half the energy being put into clicking users is being wasted. leaving me (and you?) the question of "how do i fix this?"

anyway, enough yapping... onwards?


table key:


tests 1 and 2 were preformed to discover potential patterns and perhaps support later experiments. right now they don't yeild enough information to prove things such as what bonuses make people return clicks or best times of day to click. NOTE: Both tests had guideline to stop clicking more users 2 hours before reset, allowing people time to return clicks.

test 1, 30/sept/17-4/oct/17, massclick weekend + first 3 days of an interaction point tournament.
