I went into the game as a cocky young boy and left as a humbled, defeated man. That game will test the knowledge of even the most seasoned Office fans.

Actually I was trying to reference Hokie07ME's post in the D. J. Crossed sets Commitment Date thread about papa Mook, but lack the technical know how to link it. He describes how to to run the numbers for anyone with the time/ability/passion to do so. My money is on a kicker to be in the lead now.

Yeah, Mook's dad and Shane are probably right at the top. But Mook's dad drunk-posting is a gorram national treasure. The run-up to the Battle at Bristol was glorious.

And yes, I think Kick17 wins this outright with 26.4
Alum07 has 6.4
VTGuitarman has 7.0
hokie07ME has 7.6
so there you have it. Unless you are a alumnus player with a storied NFL career, turkey legs is more about quantity of posts rather than quality.

Need to judge this the same way we do citations in academia: h-index. Your h-index is n when you have n posts with at least n legs. E.g. if you have at least 10 posts where each has 10 legs, then your h-index is 10. It's an elegant way to quantify a good blend of quality and quantity.
And yes, I did a math major before going to grad school so I get way too interested in all things math.

Yep. I just saw that I'd busted 10K, and without ever posting a gif. But, like the man just said, oh so many posts with 0 or one leg, so it's maybe more an indication of how much free time I have than how much I've contributed to the site. Hopefully, I'll do better in the future. 20K is a long way off.

Territories have value and you can purchase them as you please. Once monthly, everyone puts in bids. Their legs are the total amount they can bid. Winner each month can legally form a sovereign nation out of their owned land.
Want Blacksburg? Be ready to pony up some fat legs. Don't care where your territory is? Form an empire in the frozen north and march on Kings Landing.

Everyone... Totally not supposed to tell you this. But a secret perk to The Key Players Club is an automatic boost of 20,000 turkey legs when you sign up. They will probably take my membership ring for telling you this, but think about it....

When you pay for TKPC, you an unlock a loot box that contains either: automatic 2.75x turkey leg earning rate, 3 auto-plaid posts, or a yearly subscription to a pre-hype and post-letdown signing day experience.

Yep, another long-time lurker here with minimal double digit legs.... trying to keep my legs < fans at uva spring game (though some may claim i have already passed that count)

Actually, VTGM has now reclaimed the throne and leads rival Alum by 106 legs. Major power play by the VTGM faction today to reclaim control of our TKP feudal society.

It is a little-known fact that the Alum07 account began as an alt, programming by some crappy AI code that I came up with one day after getting extremely drunk (codename: project A07). I failed to account for the "if (becomes_selfaware)" condition and did not code in an escape clause. An account set up to automatically up-leg my own posts and serve as a slightly more cantankerous version of myself was thus on a path to unseat me. And there was nothing I could do. The alt had already changed the login password, set up its own email account, and somehow purchased large quantities of bourbon on my credit card (respect).
In all seriousness, congrats, buddy. Turkey legs are a fun way to show positive engagement in the community, and their accumulation reflects longevity on the site, important contributions, or both. I knew as soon as I accepted my new job that my reign of terror benevolent, exemplary leadership would soon come to an end.

I wondered the same thing they other day, once I found TKP haven't been back. I assumed it was still up since Jander's doesn't seem to pop up here all that often. I forgot all about you having the Alum account over there as well.

I tried the link a little while ago, but it looks like they switched it so you have to login through FB. Welp, FB is blocked for me at work, so as far as I can see, I can't get there anymore. Oh well

Guitarman going to downvote you twice to retake the lead isn't he?
It wont be Guitarman, it has to be the officials because we all know how terrible they are and have it in for Alum07.
It is Ted Valentine's day, after all!
Oh its true
I'm king of the sub 50k plebs.
Alum took down the GOAT, Fencer took down a Horse.
Oh nice someone got footage of the Eagles Super Bowl riots
I thought they only eat horse crap?
MONGO!
I thought I was doing OK at 4K+... sheesh
Gotta go find some guitarman posts to upvote!
Good grief, I have been a member for a couple months longer than alum, and about a year shorter than guitarman, and I'm sittin pretty at 6k
That's probably because of your Avatar.
*changes avatar to Emma Watson gif*
We all know in a couple years im gonna go be the king
Shameless self promotion!
Good for you!
I was once up to like 15th. Then I graduated, and don't have the opportunity to TKP at work.
It's 4:55 pm right now. Get back to work!
We generally work till 4. Except when you're duty officer, when you're there 7am-midnight if you're lucky.
Its tough to do while pulling Gs...
I'm a ground guy at a helo squadron. No Gs for me anymore.
Yeah, getting a job really cut down on my TKP posting.
Oddly enough, it hasn't cut down on my TKP reading...
VT_Warthog - if only I had've read this post before Office Trivia... Smh.
You guys doing office trivia without me? Your mistake...
I went into the game as a cocky young boy and left as a humbled, defeated man. That game will test the knowledge of even the most seasoned Office fans.
We also played it during the end of the VT/UVA game Saturday night so we kind of have an excuse.
That's fair. I'm going to go with that as my excuse.

The "That's What She Said" throw card. Brilliant.
Helped write it...
That's what she said.
I'm going to need you and Guitar to take a few months off. I need my free turkey at 100,000 legs.
Wait, there is a turkey leg big board? I didn't even notice
Just checked, I am around 12K legs over four years and four months membership. So at that rate I will need 17.5 years to catch where they are today...
I need to start posting more Emma gifs.
Marisa Tomei
FTFY
*Natalie Portman
JLaw & Gal Gadot can't hurt either.
Just going to leave this here for you over 50k guys.....
Of course I kid. TKPing as hard as you do is a skill that should be celebrated
LMAO!
Into It
Love it!
Also, when did I break 1k? o.O
Kombucha brewing?
Just imagine if you hadn't gotten all those down votes? /s
Yeah, but what is your leg to post ratio? That's a better judge of quality. /s
Exactly. Paging Joel Smith. We need a "by the (advanced) numbers" post on Guitarman v. Alum
Actually I was trying to reference Hokie07ME's post in the D. J. Crossed sets Commitment Date thread about papa Mook, but lack the technical know how to link it. He describes how to to run the numbers for anyone with the time/ability/passion to do so. My money is on a kicker to be in the lead now.

I'm at 6.59 as of now. But your formula doesn't account for legs given to the authors of newly created posts. Still a good metric though
Right. I totally forgot about legs for post rather than comments. I can't think of a good way to account for those...so they don't count.
Works for me
To preface my next statement, I got about 3 hrs of sleep last night and I'm already on redbull #2 for the day.
Following your directions and figuring out that my legs/post ratio is 6.33 pushed me to my limits, both physically and mentally.
I need a nap
3.85. Booo

Don't Alum and Bud both get a pass every now and then?
As long as he (Alum07) continues to bring in 4-5* TKPC members.
So does this mean all Mod powers now transfer to Alum? I kind of like the idea of TKP being an eternal power struggle.
Can we find some way to make an imperialism map for TKP, but instead involving turkey legs?
Territories have value and you can purchase them as you please. Once monthly, everyone puts in bids. Their legs are the total amount they can bid. Winner each month can legally form a sovereign nation out of their owned land.

Ill take Finland and trade you for all your lions
2014 was a pretty strong TKP draft class.
Yeah but what was the breakdown of contributors vs busts?
2015 draft class is looking strong too. Skutt is making a push to be the 4th '15er in the top 25.
2014 would be the year I quit using facebook. Don't regret it one bit, but I clearly haven't actually gotten better at time management since then...
Everyone... Totally not supposed to tell you this. But a secret perk to The Key Players Club is an automatic boost of 20,000 turkey legs when you sign up. They will probably take my membership ring for telling you this, but think about it....
...I've been downvoted a lot.
Shhhh...they only show up on the double secret TKPC Turkey Legs Big Board
When you pay for TKPC, you an unlock a loot box that contains either: automatic 2.75x turkey leg earning rate, 3 auto-plaid posts, or a yearly subscription to a pre-hype and post-letdown signing day experience.
My loot boxes have been rigged.
And here I am lurking with my small number of legs.... lurkers unite.... anonymously
I'm giving you a leg, in support of your apathy for legs.
Yep, another long-time lurker here with minimal double digit legs.... trying to keep my legs < fans at uva spring game (though some may claim i have already passed that count)
Arnie's going to catch up when he gets released from the penalty box.
Speaking of which, did he ever check in and see if he could get out? I'm ready for the dam truth.
You can't handle the truth.
via GIPHY
That's the damn truth.
But seriously, congratulations on your new title of king of the dung heap.
Looked at my legs. You average 10x more legs than me, per day.
Actually, VTGM has now reclaimed the throne and leads rival Alum by 106 legs. Major power play by the VTGM faction today to reclaim control of our TKP feudal society.
Clearly Guitarman is using his position as a professor to get his students to give him legs.
Also, it's a good thing guitar's a professor and not a high school teacher. Otherwise, crime.
Time to get Guitarman some more upvotes.
Lmao, I fucking love this community.
If I keep up the #sauses I will be there soon enough. Watch out Alum!!
Oh is THAT what that logo stands for. Christ, I saw that thing on that other conference thread the other day and couldn't figure it out at all. It's a BAG.
It's exactly why I stole it. It's all I could see
Wow did people go back and vote for Guitar mans stuff? He's got a nice lead restablished
Guitarman back in the lead. Alum07 right now.
I was shocked to find myself at 889 of 2400+. Actually surprised there are so many pages of negatives
TKP does not suffer troll accounts for long.
Guitarman still has the -10 legs hammer right? Alum might start sinking quick!
You were drinking anyway, right?
Maybe... this is what you get when you don't refresh the tablet while watching Shaun White shred the half pipe
The top 100 posters should have a Hokie plaid border around their picture (just saying)
Pshhhhh, top 25.
I WANNA FEEL SPECIAL
Mean Gene Okerlund doesn't care.

How about top Checks rankings top 4?
Nah, let's just keep it to the podium...top 3.

My first thought after reading this thread was "So what":
then it was:
and then I went back to:
wow i aint even get a h/t for pointing it out /s
That's cool and all, but how many pussy touchdowns do you have?
Be sure and count this thread.
Buy yourself a new miata to celebrate
This.
Bitch, you know me, pink Miata 4lyfe!
It's shit like this that lost you the leg lead.
Its a joke that goes back to about 2010
I guess miatas must have been funnier back then.
Its a joke that goes way back to the old espn boards before we all got kicked off of them and then made them facespace required...
Is the baconleague site still up and running? Haven't been on there in probably a year or so
I wondered the same thing they other day, once I found TKP haven't been back. I assumed it was still up since Jander's doesn't seem to pop up here all that often. I forgot all about you having the Alum account over there as well.
