Need your help! New Infinity Mode Graph showing all survivors and psychopaths

Hello, over at strategywiki we have been working on a Infinity Mode Graph showing when all survivors and psychopaths appear and disappear. It is the best graph on this on the web.

We need everyone's help in building this graph, please contribute to this wiki today:

http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Dead_Rising/Infinity_Mode#Psycopath.2FSurvivor_Food

No registration is required.

I just found out today that survivors and psychopaths appear and disappear at 00:00, 07:00, 19:00 of each day.

Re: cleanups for the page
Prod, I really respect the work you do cleaning up pages. Looking at the comments on your talk page, your work can sometimes be a thankless job.

I retained most of your changes, but a couple I reverted as follows:


 * 1) Removal of the hidden section headers, if a user wants to go back and change the rows or add more rows, it is easy to do with this hidden section headers.  That said, I am pretty much done with this section, so if you want to remove them again, I won't mind.
 * 2) Section headers for: 1) the location of the clock and 2) the survivors who never show up in infinity mode. Both of these sections, especially the clock section is unique enough that I think they need a new section.
 * 3) I am trying to understand why tables are not allowed for formatting images, etc on this site. Tables are a powerful tool, which I use regularly on all of the other wikis I work on. Tables are especially necessary when the formatting on this wiki is so different then most wikis. This seems like an editor personal preference more than anything. Without a table the achievement templates run right into the footnotes. When this table was removed and replaced with, the achievement templates push the last column with the advertisement and the discussion over.

 * I think this one is easy enough to figure out without. It keeps the code clean, and if they're only modifying one or two rows, they can either look at the header, or any of the rows around it.  It shouldn't be too hard.
 * Those 4th level headers don't look that nice in general, and I'm not a fan of them in the ToC at the top. But that's purely my preference, it was more of a suggestion.
 * Tables are for data, not for layout. It's a general principle of web design.  On the other hand, IE is really starting to annoy me with the way it does so many things wrong.  I'm leaving it the way you put it for now since we get a fair bit of IE traffic.  But that will eventually have to be changed (perhaps when IE8 comes out, since it seems to do these things better). -- Prod (Talk) 09:20, 7 August 2008 (CDT)
 * I removed the, it simply doesn't work.
 * I despise IE too, but 90% of the world uses it. Even when IE 8.0 comes out and if they have a fix, that means for years people will still be using older versions.
 * As far as: "Tables are for data, not for layout. It's a general principle of web design." I wish there was an easier way to fix things, there isn't.
 * I will remove the hidden info. No it isn't that hard to figure out. :) Travb 09:35, 7 August 2008 (CDT)
 * I've tried something else with those achievements. How does that look? -- Prod (Talk) 09:36, 7 August 2008 (CDT)

Graph I decided not to post
Since people can sort by area, this graph seems pointless:
