So today about 1000 submissions have been approved and the day is not over. Lets put this into perspective. on most days theirs about 90 submissions accepted a day and again today is not over yet.
Most people are around for about 4 hours (lets go extreme) out of those 4 hours lets say 2 hours are spent blaming and saving (thats half I'm being generous). So 2 hours out of 24 is 1/12th of the day. So 1/12th of 90 is about 7.5, lets be generous and round up to 8.
So someone could slave getting 8 saves a day and it'll take them 125 days to get 1000 saves.
Or you could spend half of clock day. If someone had been online so far today they could have made a brand new account and by now they have gone from Civilian to Town Watch to Scout To Safety Patrol to Portal Security to Police Office to Police Sergeant.
So lets look a little into the future, 1000 submissions in 18 hours, we have 6 hours to go today. Average that out too 1,333 submission by the end of the day. But then again 8pm EST seems to be NG hot time.
So lets go back to our stat of 8 saves a day, you can spend one full day during clock day or 167 other days and you'll get the same amount of saves.
