Best Days in Gaming by Gaming Group

We're back from Melbourne (more on that later, if I feel like it - maybe I've moved on?) and I'm playing with my stats program. Actually, what I'm trying to establish is whether any of the days in Melbourne counted as my best days in gaming. So I've extended the Best Game Playing Days list to 25 entries and made the game summary shorter.

and the tallies:

Gathering of Friendless - 2
Critical Mass All-Day - 5
On The Beach - 4
Critical Mass - 4
Ozvortex - 3

Given that I've only held 13 Gatherings of Friendless, that's a decent hit rate. I suspect that 5 would be EVERY Critical Mass All-Day that I've been to. On The Beach is a week-long event which we've attended twice, and has produced the goods consistently, and Critical Mass continues to be a great gaming night. Ozvortex is a great guy (for me) to game with, and makes an awesome individual contribution. CyberKev makes only one individual appearance, and that was on a day when he was explicitly playing MY games, but he was present at most of the group events.

There are no ConVic dates in that list, which I suspect is because when I'm at ConVic (a) I'm not playing my games, and (b) I'm often playing new games, which on average suck. OK, I'll see if I can get motivated to make another post about the new games I played over the weekend.
