I wonder if serial_thrilla will count those?

No, you removed them before I did the count a few weeks later.

Oh good. This one isn't a Bears-centric one for once. Here we have our second sim-poster in the list, with resident Asgardian Dingster. As you can see in blue above, Dingster still has quite the affinity with his old team the Wonders. Now as established in the OP, I discounted the first 15 posts from a sim poster in a thread where they were on duty. Until the end of Round 9, Dingster had posted sims in thirteen match threads, with seven of those coming in under 15 posts (therefore not counted in this data set).

So the first thing I did was check the six times he exceeded 15 posts to see whether the criteria was too strict. I'm glad to say that with only one exception Dingster Gatecrashed the thread every time. In the Round 1 WON/DRA thread he spent 8 posts stirring up Bonz and JT_the_Man earlier in the week (total posts = 21; only 6 count towards this). In the Round 2 LVB/WON thread he 8 posts stirring up Bonz and U2tigers earlier in the week (total posts = 24; 9 count towards this). Round 2 FUR/SCS was probably a little harsh on him, as his sim posting was generally all he did except for some light-hearted moments with Tigerturbulance mid-sim (total posts = 20; 5 count towards this). In Round 6 SCS/BOM he went on a recruitment drive with philreich for 10 posts (total posts = 24; 9 count towards this). Then there was Round 8 WON/SCS... Dingster banged out 33 posts in that thread, with exactly 15 of those involving a match ETA and sim output; the rest was him mucking around with ClarkeM and Nunez. In Dingster's words: "I'm a regular spammer!"

(Sorry about the sterility of the above paragraph, but Barrybran will get angry if I don't break it all down for the sim posters).

That brings us to his efforts in the threads where he was not a match simmer. In the Round 1 LVB/DEM thread he stormed in uninvited to tell MWPP to delete her account due to some Peter/Phil Matera joke that may or may not have historical relevance with Matera92. It took him 12 posts to get the Gatecrashing out of his system. Round 3 saw him pop into the WON/CIW thread to annoy JT_the_Man for half a dozen posts. Round 4 was a successful batch of match thread OP authoring, with very little engagement once the threads were up. He crashed the Round 5 WON/BOM thread to annoy SweetD for a seven posts, and in Round 6 GCR/WON he made a nuisance of himself by chatting to ClarkeM for a bit.

So yeah. This is a fairly clear cut case: Dingster is a pest that is taking a while to shake free from his Wonders brethren. His intrusions aren't malicious nor to they have ulterior motives. He's just a harmless menace. On your bike.

He has a penchant for not taking variables into account, like when he forgot about 'time before likes' in BigFooty in his previous foray into posting analysis.

Imagine posting without the opportunity to be liked!

Says a lot about this generation eh BoomerAndy

****ing millenials, cant go a day without posting on social media for likes because it makes them think they have achieved something in their miserable lives.

Don’t get me started on so called “influencers”

With a Gatecrasher score of over 500, I can quite confidently say that Grand Uncle Horace is the first of the "Big Seven" Gatecrashers in the SFA. Horry appeared to have a Top 5 place locked down until a couple of late surges from two of the other contenders. With 28 match threads crashed, the artist formerly known as Bloodied52 has made the second most appearances in match threads not involving his team of all SFA players this season. Horry was in red hot Gatecrashing form for the first seven rounds: of the 35 non-Wonders match threads in that timeframe he had crashed 24 of them! What prevented him from getting higher on this list was his propensity to "hit & run" in these threads, with only three visits in excess of eight posts, and none over twenty.

Grand Uncle Horace is rarely tagged in threads. He just appears. Usually when the Bombers are mentioned in some capacity. He'll put out some bait by tagging the more volatile players in the match thread, then wait for a response so he can spew out some old man rhetoric before disappearing into the shadows once more. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't: Round 1 CIW/ESH he decided that NaturalDisaster's reference to the Trojan War was a good enough reason for him to crash. No bites. Round 1 SCS/GCR he saw The Filth Wizard mention the Bombers, and so inserted himself into the discussion whilst tagging philreich and Ant Bear to ensure he'd get a healthy dose of attention. His 17 post intrusion in the Round 1 BOM/FUR thread came about when he popped into the thread uninvited to lecture the Bomber rookies about being "meat shields"; this rightfully got cadsky and WaynesWorld19 riled up and Horry's mission was accomplished.

Round 2 saw more of the same. After the previous week's success he barged straight into the ESH/BOM thread to dangle a derogatory comment in front of Wayne's face once more. Success! A bite, and after six posts of antagonism he slunk away with a grin on his wrinkled face. He then popped into the DRA/CIW thread to try the same with another one of his favoured targets AceAndy. No response this time, so he moved to the FUR/SCS thread to annoy Ant Bear for a bit. Let me remind you that he was tagged into NONE of these threads.

The Round 3 BOM/DRA thread was always going to get his attention, and its a miracle that he only managed to get three posts into it. It seems that his snipes at Wayne got lost in the fast natured pace of the thread, so he gave up and tried elsewhere. His alternate target that week was Callums_Guns in the DEM/GCR thread, and he took great delight in mocking him for losing some unrelated avatar bet. Once again - NOT TAGGED IN.

The next week he headed straight back into the CIW/BOM to remind MITS that he was a meat shield and to take a pot shot at NaturalDisaster. He also graced the GCR/LVB thread with several posts of drivel. Once again - not tagged. Round 5 was no different: he Gatecrashed the ROY/DRA thread to chortle about AceAndy not sitting in the Hot Seat and hung around until the S29 EKA Medalist told him to **** off. His need for attention not sated, he then jumped across to the LVB/FUR thread and traded barbs with TJASTA for the limelight he craved.

Next up was the Round 6 SCS/BOM thread, where he was actually tagged in for once courtesy of Santoz, who needed some help with a Marx reference in his conversation with philreich. Horry needed no excuse, so he hung around for half a dozen posts. He also crashed the ROY/CIW to throw some shade at Dingster which received a bite and six more posts to his tally.

Things must have been slow going in the Round 7 Wonders match thread, because he was in fine Gatecrashing form that week. The DRA/LCV thread saw him 17 times as he niggled two of his favourite teams. Once again without an invitation he appeared out of nowhere with a garbled rant about Jung52, Vladimir Putin and Wayneo alts before getting to work antagonizing all his usual targets: AceAndy, Millky95, Muddiemoose and Metalcrusher all got a dose of the old fella. He even followed AceAndy into the BOM/ROY thread to continue his ramblings.

Tonga Bob made the fatal error of tagging Horace into the Round 8 LVB/CIW thread: like some kind of decrepit vampire, once given this permission to express his views upon the thread he never left. NaturalDisaster was the target this time, and Horry stunk up the thread with 15 posts of inane dribble. Then Round 9 saw more of it, as he invaded the BOM/LVB and CIW/GUM threads to continue his quest for relevance.

So there you have it. Most certainly the guiltiest Gatecrasher on the list so far. Grand Uncle Horace is an unashamed Gatecrasher of the highest order. He is a pest and and nuisance, and seems to thrive off the annoyance of others. His desire for acrimony, conflict and attention knows no bounds and for the good of the league should be threadbanned from all non-Wonders threads going forward.

can everyone stop invading their match threads and hurry up the process cheers

9/14 of the listed Gatecrashers so far have preferred the Bears over all others as targets for their attention seeking. It's incredible!

You've upped up the nastiness this season Ace, trying to outdo your twin BoomerAndy?

You just don't have the edginess or presence for that I'm afraid.

 

[The Half Back]

9/14 of the listed Gatecrashers so far have preferred the Bears over all others as targets for their attention seeking. It's incredible!

Have you had a look into the amount of outside posters that Bears posters (Crushy in particular) actually tag into their threads? If I was a betting man, I'd be placing a large wager on that number being quite high.

Or it would just be that the rest of the SF are trying to return home whilst being on another teams list.

Most aren't being tagged in from what I've seen. Certainly not the serial offenders. I think it's more down to the Bears taking the bait more than others. I'll do an analysis at the end, but I think the number of Bear threads crashed is normal, but the number of follow up posts is much, much higher.
