First out is the percentual usage of weapons per weapon type over the last few week.
As we can see, the usage is pretty constant:
No weapon at around 46%
Q1 weapons at around 41% (examined in more detail later)
Q2 weapons at around 3%
Q3 weapons at around 4%
Q4 weapons at around 0.7%
Q5 weapons at around 3.5%
Since the usage is pretty constant I thought it would be interesting to see what will happen in the future. So, after some linear regression, extrapolating, deviation calculations, etc I came up with this graph:
What we're seeing is the predicted usage of Q1 weapons for the next 17 weeks.
It's made by first looking at the number of hits made in the last 22 weeks and then doing a linear regression to get a linear function with an increase of 94,097 hits/per with an std of 5%.
Then I looked at the Q1 weapons usage for the last 22 weeks and came up with an average usage of 42.7% with a std of 1.77 pp.
Combining these values gave me the graph above.
For those of you not used to looking at graphs, I can say that in 4 weeks, there should be a demand of ~1,509,000 Q1 weapons, or 12.3% more than now
Edit
Just for fun, I checked the total amount of money that exchanged hands last week only on Q1 weapons if they were sold for the "normal" price of 0.0185g/wep.. 24,853g. I wish I sold all of those weapons..
Random fun nerd fact
While working on another project I discovered that BAY is the only MU whose total damage doesn't fit in a signed integer (meaning that they're the only MU that have made over 2,147,483,647 damage)
PS
Sorry that I haven't published the weekly stats for at couple of weeks now. But it's the last month of the semester, meaning finals.
I promise to publish all missing weeks as soon as school is over.

A week of battles: Week 17 (13 years ago)
About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
