The coin they flipped when deciding whether to increment the count today or not landed on its edge?

Method 1: 300 days (August 3, 2012 to May 30, 2013) ÷ 45.5% (13.5% to 59%) = 6.593 days/% (previously 6.614)
⇒ end in 270 days, i. e. on February 24, 2014 (previously February 26, 2014).

Method 2: 400 days (April 25, 2012 to May 30, 2013) ÷ 59% (0% to 59%) = 6.780 days/% (previously exactly 6.8)
⇒ end in 278 days, i. e. on March 4, 2014 (previously March 6, 2014).

Method 3: 191 days (November 20, 2012 to May 30, 2013) ÷ 43% (16% to 59%) = 4.442 days/% (previously 4.386)

Ha! Based on precedent, I can guess what some of these might be. I'll jump in here for some preemptive debunking.

We're not trying to squish more into the game than we originally planned. There's going to be plenty of content already, and we're not queuing up any more. We're doing some careful editing as it is in order to get the story and pacing right.

We're not falling behind and having to start representing updates in smaller increments.

We're not taking the Caravel server out for a joyride.

This update is basically due to one of the deliverables landing on its side, and it finally tipped onto its head (or tail? ouch--both sound painful) today.

Well, it's 59.4% now. Apparently Caravel has improved the precision of their measurements - we're getting more frequent, small improvements rather than waiting a week for a large percentage chunk.

Makes it more suspenseful in some ways though... It's nice though that it is more exact.

Though it does make it frustrating to be missing out on most of the rankpoint bonanza because of being in a different timezone.

I'd be interested to see a histogram of time-of-day for when bar increases are posted here. I'll bet there's a wide spread of hours.
