1. Is the number of NZmers you've met proportional to how popular you are, either positively or negatively?
Right now according to the top fives, the ranking is:
Noizyboy 21
Heather 20
Dust 12
aka 11
Teina 9
and from what I've gathered, they've all met a lot of people. But right after them and Prozaco (who is likewise loose with her meetingness) is Luci Sam - and I don't know anyone who's met him. So what's the secret? And is Heather only that popular because of her multiple troll logins who all vote for her?
2. How many people from NZm have you met, and how popular are you?
3. Bonus question:
Who is it who has a sister that worked at my old (horrible but she isn't) workplace? It's been bugging me for ages.

Really goddamn popular.

Actually, my troll logins have been voting for noizyboy. Noizyboy for God!
It's just exposure. All the people at the top of the list have been posting quite a lot, over a long time, so they're uppermost in people's minds. Also they're not stupid, and they're reasonably friendly.
And I reckon Lucifer_Sam is near the top for the same reason that the Belgian dude did so well in World Idol.

...and I'd probably try and avoid meeting people I don't like. So the number of people you meet is probably more a result of how popular you are (given you actually want to meet people, and you're not stuck in taihape/timaru/greymouth) - not the other way around.

ahh you'll all probably meet me very soon, im not as isolated as u think i am. for best results try bars between 4.30 and 6pm Fridays and/or saturdays.
This never came true. Sigh.

I wondered about that. I had a trawl around all the other regulars top 5s, and while I was in a couple, I was hardly the top of everyone's list.
// How many people from NZm have you met, and how popular are you?
until about this time last year, I hadn't met any of the nzm massif (except teina, joe & dust), but then I went through a mad meeting-nzmers-every-time-I-went-out phase, and the number jumped into the twenties, and has since (having met heather, a social lubricant if ever there was one), jumped up again. Considering I manage to go out about once a month (if that), I'm astounded at how many of the nzm posse I have managed to meet.
// It's just exposure.
Word. Before I started exercising my dextrous fingers on the sandy beaches of the nzm boards, I was a geeky 90 pound weakling with no friends. Now I'm ... um... well, I have some friends, anyway.

I noticed that for the most part, the people that vote for me vote for you. I checked the full select list and did the math...of all the people that have actually filled out the top 5, an astounding 40% have voted for us. That's quite nice.

I KNEW you'd post a link! I figured it was probably possibly worth having a new one, given that people have met new people and all.
Also, do only votes for someone in first place count or what? Or does it work on a STV system?

// I KNEW you'd post a link!
that was weird - I did it without even thinking...
current list, may be missing a few: blink, heather, joanna, stefan, onesquared, aka, niceguyeddie, meggacino, ralphie, pissmefish, stinkbuzz, xtian, devil_rider, gina_lash, danthetto, jon_jr, quad, limegreen, l*, prozaco, grimmybug, spilly, jay_h, trixie, carl, tomble, charlieuw, firewarden, caff, quad, zeman, samflux, dr gymkhana, trillion, la cavalera
quite a few of these people I met independently of nzm, and they either became members later (or in a few cases, I figured out a username was more then just a online personality I had occasional correspondence with, but was in fact someone I knew for real - dense as I am in spotting personal clues in online posts).
// Also, do only votes for someone in first place count or what?
Seems to be that placing doesn't matter. Any vote from 1-5 adds one to your total tally.

Question 1. I dont care neither popularity nor "number of" ... I prefer quality than quantity, anyway... popularity is proportional to the number of posts, I think so
