Another day in the life of a Magic data scraper... (alt text for clarity)

• Most cuts made, all-time:
63 Raphael Levy (in 90 PTs with cuts)
55 @yellowhat.bsky.social (out of 78)
53 Shuhei Nakamura (out of 69)
52 Jon Finkel (out of 76)
51 Shota Yasooka (out of 63)

• Pour one out for Riku Kumagai who made the cut at PTFIN and was 19/19 lifetime, but did not make it to day two of PTEOE.

RIku's streak of 19 to start his career is the longest ever, two more than Sebastian Pozzo's 17. It's on to @stefanschuetzmtg.bsky.social (11/11) to catch him now.

• @smdster.bsky.social has the longest streak of cuts made at consecutive events: 16 PTs, everything from PT Dominaria in 2018 to the present.

As such, Sam is one of 9 players to have made all nine cuts since the pandemic. The full list is pictured.

Here's some highlights:
• Lee Shi Tian and Paul Rietzl haven't missed a cut in forever. They both have active streaks of 28 consecutive cuts made at PTs attended. The rest of humanity has never gone past 22.

This sheet started as something that just tracked streaks, but I expanded it to look at all things cut-related, including a separate tab focused on post-pandemic events.

The data sheet is here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I owe you some PTEOE stats (they're coming, I promise!), but until then, here's a new Elo project blog post. This week I overhauled my sheet that tracks cuts made at PTs, so there's a lot of new numbers to look at! mtgeloproject.net/blog/60/

Pro Tour Day 2 data

Got the sheet made but at this time of night I'm not going to have the stamina to put all the other numbers together. But, here, sneak preview -- docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Yep -- planning to include this with a stats thread, hopefully I can get it all together for tomorrow. Stay tuned! ^_^

ggs Ben! Very similar here, about two hours of work after this to finish a couple mementos. Glad Hades 2 gave me an excuse to stop because I was already starting to think about the 100%-in-30-hours achievement.

Only like a month late, but SS Orlando and MXP Phoenix are now on www.mtgeloproject.net. Had to get caught up before the PT this weekend! I'm not holding my breath that the open PTQs will have usable data but maybe I'll somehow jinx myself into a lot of extra curating work next week...

I like the implication that it'd be a common. ^_^;

Celeste is just the fucking best.

This is a mod, Monika's D-Sides. It's a really nice set of maps, and basically everything in it comes from the base game. So it's just like what if the difficulty went up to 13 or 14.

I'm sure people have figured out how to sideload it onto Switch, but I'm playing this on Steam. I'm using Everest to add the mods to my Steam copy. I do play with the Switch Pro SNES controller, which Steam understands if I connect it to my PC with Bluetooth. I think you can make joy-cons work too.

I almost tagged you Ben =p Did you ever play Monika's D-sides? This is the last screen of 7D 1000m. I enjoyed 1D-6D even more this time than my first playthrough a couple years ago.

I've been trying to clear this room FOREVER. Probably spent like seven or eight hours on it a while ago and gave up, then another three hours or so this week. Finally got it. I could cry.

One of my like top five favorite things about life on planet Earth is happening this afternoon at 4:27pm Eastern at GDQ (twitch.tv/gamesdonequick) — incredible Mario players sight-reading custom levels. If you haven't ever watched something like this before, I cannot recommend this enough.

Wow SS Chiba curating is done. That only took a week... what am I even going to do with myself now?

Thanks to all who watched SS Chiba with us last weekend! Here's the answers to the props sheet. A number of people got 8/10, including @jkyu06.bsky.social and @seangoddard.bsky.social. I'll be back with the RC in the fall!

Time for the top 8! We've got six different archetypes, who said Standard was washed?

ajlvi - Twitch Threes! enthusiast, number theorist, and data scraper for the MTG Elo Project. Streaming a mix of Magic, puzzle games, retro consoles, and Japan/Korea RC English commentary.

On twitch.tv/ajlvi tonight I'm commentating day 2 of the Spotlight Series event in Chiba. We've got 8-9 hours of Standard on tap, and I'll in the booth with Chase Masters. Come hang out!

Going live with @jkyu06.bsky.social now. Come hang out and watch some paper magic! www.twitch.tv/ajlvi

This weekend ttv/ajlvi will have English commentary of SS Chiba.
Streams start at 8pm Eastern Friday and Saturday nights.
Slated to join me are @jkyu06.bsky.social and Przemyslaw Olszewski on day 1 and Chase Masters for day 2.
And there's props! Make your predictions at www.mtgeloproject.net/props .

www.mtgeloproject.net is refreshed with #PTFINALFANTASY and the Sunday PTQ. (Allow me to shake my fist at the lack of Fri and Sat PTQs, ggs/sorry @ccalcano.bsky.social and @ajelenbogen.bsky.social!) I'll reply with more stats throughout the week.

There will be more bat signals in the future! Whenever a US RC and a Japan/Korea RC are on the same weekend, I'll need someone -- that's been 100% of the time since the US started having two RCs per cycle.

Update 2: Now all set! Props sheet coming later this week ^_^

Update: I've got day 1 (Friday night into Saturday morning US time) more or less under control. Still looking for anyone interested in joining for day 2.

There's a 2000 person standard GP in Chiba this weekend. I'll be doing English commentary on twitch.tv/ajlvi, and I'm looking for co-hosts.
Both days start 9am Japan / 12am UTC / 8pm Eastern.
Day 1 will be like 11 hours. Co-hosts do not have to be willing to last all night. ^_^;

Oh oh you must have removed mirrors. I figured it out. I assumed it had to be on my end...
