For a long time there we had a surprisingly consistent Knight rate of 1 Knight per day. However, that's been curving off for a while now. Out of curiosity, I did some spread sheeting to fit the that curve to an equation; chopping off a bunch of the early data points as outliers. Here is the result:

K = -1039 + 238*LN(D)

Where K is the expected Knight Number and D is the number of days since March 25th, 2025 (the day of the first Knight). From this we can get:

D = e^((K+1039)/238)

And from that we can calculate that, if the curve continues as is, Knight number 777 will occur somewhere around day 2060 or November 14th, 2030. The equation does tend to under predict the number a little bit so even with a fairly close curve fit the actual day is likely to be a day or two earlier than that. From this, I do think the year 2030 or 2031 is probably going to be a reasonable guess for how long it will take to reach the auspicious number.

The things FLPCs get up to can sound very silly when you examine them directly. And by the power of that silliness I am at last free of THE WORM TIMES! I already have a Knighthood. Now I have a steed. If only there was some vanity armor to complete the set. No, I'm not planning to get the boots and other accessories. 226 days was enough for me thanks.

My strategy, as the comic implies, was to camp out in Tracklayer City and pop down to London during Primate weeks. The brass skulls used to fuel that activity were purchased with a combination of echo wealth I already had, the usual weekly routines, and the diligent work of my agents.

Now that I'm free, the first order of business is to restore my status as a Correspondent. I became a Licentiate because I didn't want to spend hundreds of actions accumulating skeletons at Marigold in preparation for Primate weeks. But with that unpleasantness behind me it's time to return to my true calling. Then I have some catching up to do. Firmament Chapter 8, delivering a message to The Duchess, and a... substantial number of ESs that have accumulated behind me (the graph had me in an optimization mind so it was tough to peel myself away). After that, who knows!
