East of the furball area to be exact. Was always good fights over the water in that eastern group of islands. No lag either.

Thanks, guys. I've just added them up. I've counted only those where the response was a valid integer between 1 and 5 - no 3.5s or 2/3 or anything like that!

I was surprised there were as many 5 votes. And I thought there would be more 1 votes.

The average (using 26 valid votes) comes to 3.69.

3, but what makes the center a furball???

I mostly operated out of A84 i think it was... upping a 109, grabing alt really fast and picking out heavy F4us or F6F's.......before augering into the sea, but thats enough about my "skill"

I had some great tank battles around the outer edge. Didnt do any bombing though :eek:

So much for the "everyone prefers a fast fight and furball" theory huh (not yours in particular)

Really cant judge by the boards. As only a small fraction participate here.
From what I saw the numbers were bout 50-50

Indeed. I wouldn't use the findings of this poll to make any point, for all the reasons you said. For one thing, out of about 30 replies, 6 came from the TAS alone which, one is led to believe, is a furball squad. The poll was just a little bit of idle curiosity, no more.

One finding that came out of it was that a vast majority spent at least some time at Pearl Harbor.  Only 8 stayed in the Solomons, Guadalcanal, Phils, etc.

I think the amount of people we actually saw at Kaos Island all the time, every time says alot about what people enjoy.

It's 1744 UTC (1844 UK local time and 1344/1:44pm EDT) 197 in the MA right now, and Pizza is up. I think that says what people enjoy. Of course, only about 20 of those use the BBS...

Yes ... but #5 was NEVER entered the furball island fray, while the other 4 had furball island involvment, so those total numbers far exceed #5 leaning towards more people do like to furball in some shape of form.

That was balanced by #1 which never LEFT the furball island fray, while all the others (2-5) had nonfurball island involvement.

But as I said, I wasn't trying to prove anything. Just curious.

That means nothing. You are not talking about a specific area of Pizza where a specific type of fight takes place ... Pizza does not offer that option.

There will always be numbers on ANY map due to the fact that most fly in the MA regardless if they love or hate the map.

I would love to see the average total number of pilots on during Pizza week, compared to the same when OZKansas is up for a week.

I don't think that you would be surprized at all at which map generated the better numbers.
