So I kill 1 10 bill transport and 20 1 Mill T1s and I can brag I shot down 21 ships worth 470 mill each from your standpoint than?
Who cares about the average value anyway?

Nope, you can say that you’ve killed 21 ships with an average value of 477m isk.
You can’t say that each ship was worth that, because you’d be wrong.
My point exactly
Shouldn’t we rate our experiences by the thrill of the hunt and stories told around the campfire?

One of these statements is correct, the other is not.

Learn the difference between a statement and a question, it’s quite easy.
People that were pointing it out kept using term average kill value, that implies the value of a kill does it not. No one said number of kills worth said value.
You are right, Eve should be about fun first.

An average is the calculated value of the central point of a range of numbers, it’s obtained by adding all those numbers together and dividing by the amount of numbers there are.
Your question, which is somewhat rhetorical and could thus be considered to be a statement, suggests that each ship was worth 477m isk, which is simply untrue; by adding the word average to it you indicate that some of the ships were worth more and others were worth less.
You have no concept of what “outliers” are. Multi-billion-ISK kills are exceptionally rare. On the other end of the spectrum, most of the kills on the low end are 10,000 ISK “default” pods. The reality is that when we normalize the kills on a curve, most kills will hover close to the average value, but somewhat below it, because upper-end outliers have no limit. This is why PL, which kills supercaps for a living, averages out to 200 million ISK per kill (moderately lower than CODE.'s average value).
But the primary reason why you’re being ridiculed right now is because you’ve buried your head in the sand in an effort to avoid facing reality. You claim that CODE. only kills Ventures and some occasional multi-billion-ISK ships, but it’s ludicrously easy to verify whether or not that’s true just by checking the kill board.
How is it hypocrisy from him if you both kill the same types of ships, and he says its fine and you say its wrong to do so?
Do as I say, not as I do.
Ah this would be another 2020 rule.

It could be worse, it could be the application of rule 34.

Funny I don’t feel ridiculed at all, but you are using the term average kill value. Which again implies the value of your average kill. Painting a much nicer picture than the actual truth. You should refrain from doing so and just state the overall value.
Is that the one where Mario gets bewbs and a Princess Peaches outfit?
The very one.
Bowsette is a hunny.
And male Samus Aran is a studmuffin.

@Destiny_Corrupted you’re the one with the maths degree, would you care to explain, in detail, how averages work, and what they mean?
Please show me where I said ganking was wrong. The only thing that I said I felt was wrong was using ‘roleplaying’ as an excuse to do it… just hull up and admit you want to gank people. There is nothing wrong with it, but own up to the fact you do it. Do I admit I gank people? Yeah, I gank them. twirls finger around Big deal.
The hypocrisy is him attempting to misrepresent what my corp does by suggesting that our killboard is full of ganks, when it really isn’t… especially when you look at his corp’s killboard, which is strictly killing corvettes, shuttles, and T1 explorers.
Again, show me where I said ganking was wrong…
