What?
TKEP.net is a web site with a collection of statistical things (or 'oojits', if you will) designed
to examine the progress of
The Kill Everyone Project. If
you are not aware of what TKEP is, I have no idea why you're here, but I will suggest that you
read the FAQ and then read this excellent
extended FAQ before going anywhere near the chat. Please only bother signing up
and talking if you think you fully understand the concept and are ready to become addicted.
Who?
I'm BurningSnowman. Nice to meet you. You can take a look at my
TKEP.net user page and/or my
homokaasu user page
and/or my
home page (which will be done some decade) if you'd like to
find out absolutely nothing useful about me. I received help from
blue infinity and
Epsiløn
in the creation of the country pages.
Gasmaster, the creator
of
homokaasu, provided the data feed and has been very helpful throughout the long drawn out creation of this
site. Thanks to those who helped, those who encouraged and those who poked and imploded at useful times.
Why?
This site aims to provide a little extra motivation to the loyal and hard-working TKEPers who have got
us so far already, and make it that little bit less tedious. This excitement may come in the form of even
more numbers, but that sort of thing seems to interest those who play TKEP. So yay.
When?
TKEP.net was first launched at the start of the US, late-ish 2004, having been played with for some months
beforehand. The current version was finally completed late September 2005. I still plan to make a couple of small changes before leaving the site be, though there is now only one (huge) country remaining.
How?
Data collection is done through an xml feed on homokaasu. Everything on this end is done through
php,
because it's effective and it's what I know.
Main data is updated every five minutes. Times are in
TKEP time (GMT+0200, sometimes plus daylight savings). Shortened dates are in the format DD/MM/YYYY.
Top ranks are rolling figures, covering the last 24 hours
and updated once an hour. Hourly and daily records for the
Leaderboards are
fetched at xx:02 and 00:02 TKEP time each day, respectively.
If you have stupid questions, please check the
detailed about page.
If you have non-stupid questions or comments, you can use the
contact form. Have a nice day.
