Next, I would like to see a badges-per-question-attempted statistic. Number of questions attempted is already being accounted, so this should be easy.

After that, if BT has a way to flag debut questions, I would like to see badges-per-debut-question-attempted. I would like to see at least one debut question guaranteed in every game, although that's about 40 per day and maybe they don't add that many to the database.

Does anyone have any guess or impression or truth about how many questions do get added fresh to the database per any unit of time? (questions repurposed from premium games would not count). Likely a trade secret for BT but do you think it's over or under 40 per day?

It's up.

It's surprising to see all the 86ths. Guess we'll never see LEWSER, DTHDLR, etc being beneath their dignity, even though they rank top 20 some games.

Not too surprising, surely.
STEVE, who also plays BBNURS, and TURBO, who also plays DRYRUB, play all of the time. The bar would charge them rent but I don't think the owner could take the loss in revenue compared to their tabs.
A high volume of games + knowing a vast majority of them for 1000 points = a crapload of badges

WTF Steve and Rob played Playback?....did you or anyone else told em they can't get badges on that game? Well They did a good showing on the game.

I'm pretty sure the boys used to play premium games before the advent of badges, Mitch.
They don't play them often. But I suspect my newest young padawan MKRCHD convinced them to stay since he's fairly good with country music from the last 15-20 years.
