In a recent post I calculated the designers who had the most plays recorded against them. Richard Garfield was #5 which I believed was because Magic was such a short game that people could play 10 times in a row, unlike Arkham Horror. So to get a different view on what designers are occupying people's time I changed my program to weight the games by BGG's playing time numbers. I also reincluded "unknown" and "uncredited" so we could see the effect of abstracts and Hasborg mass-produced games. As predicted Richard Garfield dropped down the list but not horribly. I think designers who have implementations of their games on BSW and so on are advantaged because on-line games play so much quicker than face-to-face slogs. I've also included some minor details of designers who are not well known to me.
