To the people of DoS,
I have read the histories a few times, and have come across something that has just recently struck me. I'd like verification as to whether or not this information seems accurate. It may not be a big deal to some, but one day it could mean something to someone else.

With challenge ques:
In a challenge que, no challenger except the first has ever been successful. Either the baron facing the que defeats all the challengers, or the first challenger is successful in the challenge.

Some other pieces of info:
The baronial rings combined, have been passed down 145 times.
Individually:
1st: 13
2nd: 10
3rd: 12
4th: 18
5th: 19
6th: 12
7th: 17
8th: 11
9th: 15
10th: 8
11th: 2
12th: 4
13th: 4

Fourth has had 4 people wear it more than once.
Fifth has had 1 person wear it more than once.
Seventh has had 4 people wear it more than once.
Tenth has had 1 person wear it more than once.
Thirteenth has had 1 person wear it more than once.

The eleventh and twelfth rings are the only rings not to be worn by a female.

The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth rings are the only rings not to have been worn by a former overlord.

The third, tenth, and twelfth are the only rings not to be forfeited.

Last, but not least, the record for number of successful defenses for each ring, in one reign. Successful overlord intercessions excluded:
1st: Ford Prefect, 5
2nd: AJ, 11
3rd: Feadur and Jaycy, 3
4th: Huma, 4
5th: Billy Ray, 5
6th: Adeena Maeax, 4
7th: Jeff, 4
8th: Jeff, 5
9th: Lupton, 2
10th: Var, 2
11th: Gim, 3
12th: Roland and Walker, 1
13th: Magnus, 5

If any of my information is incorrect, please let me know. I might have overlooked something.

Meth, one of AJ's defenses was an intercession from Athlstan. I didn't count those defenses where an overlord defended the ring for the baron.

Alright gals...

Almost looks like a challenge, doesn't it? The eleventh and twelfth rings, eh? Gimz and Jarum.
Well....
Maybe next cycle.
