I counted how many unretracted /ins per day a game got from the time it joined the queue until it was filled or pulled. I didn't count /ins that overfilled the game.
Mod identity/reputation is a huge factor, but it's hard to categorize or crunch that, so you should be aware of the bias. In particular I noticed that every single moderator with a fully open game that filled has (imo) very positive reputation factors and so I can kind of perceive the ability to get a fully open game to fire as a "privilege" of well-liked mods in the current ecosystem.
I'm a little too weary about just the collecting to draw conclusions but I maybe want to pull this into excel and see if there's any statements you can make. I know the sample size is small and any statement is weak.
"Essentially instant fill" games were all marked as "playercount.0", even though they may have filled in less than 24 hours or one of them might have been 36. It's just not particularly important to look at anything beyond the game essentially being an instant fill. Potentially anything above 3 should be lumped together as "essentially instant fill"
I worked by hand, I'm sure there's lots of mistakes, if you played a game and new it was queued bastard or actually open or etc let me know.
Fully Open : The game was either open or semi-open, you could mod the game yourself using only the /in to queue if you needed to.
Open Mechanic: The game was closed, but a special game mechanic was guaranteed to appear in the game
Closed: The game was closed. I didn't differentiate on how much information was given about what types of roles to expect, some gave you a general notion of what might appear, but did not have an outright open mechanic.
Upick: The game was a upick. This is a kind of closed game.
