I don't think that you would be surprized at all at which map generated the better numbers.
It wouldn't mean anything if what you said earlier was valid, ie

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.
Hehe, no surprise to me that you work for who you work for! Hehe, I've worked for them myself - 3 separate occasions!

Do you act dumb to get me all worked up or are you just naturally dumb ?

The majority of folks who are "cocktail hour warriors", ( U.S. primetime), would fly on anything. Quake arena, Alice In Wonderland Online, whatever. In other words they have a limited tiime to play and they haven`t got a choice no matter what map is up.
  Might be interesting to note Thursday morning on Oz there were 87 players, same time Friday on SFMA there were 224 players.

Well you asked for that one. First you say that people are going to go to the MA whether they love the map or hate it, and then you suggest a comparison between two maps using attendance figures to gauge each map's popularity.  If the first statement is valid, the attendance comparison will be meaningless. Does the expression "mutually exclusive" ring any bells?

One comparison that can be made right now is to compare the numbers in the MA (with all those guys in there hating every minute) with the number of people in the CT - or in beta AH2. That's right - the much awaited AH2 is there right now, and there'll be what - 20 people in it while the pizza map attracts hundreds?

Q.E.D.

Geez Beet take off the blinders and you might be able to see.  What I believe Slap was eluding to is the fact that some people don't even log on when Pizza Crap is up.  As for those that do, they log on and go to the MA no matter what.  To prove this hypothesis, he wanted to see the figures of the total  people that logged in to play the map.  I agree with slap, I'll bet there are more people that don't log in when pizza is up.

No way is AH2 up right now:lol  I ask you this beet, why do 90% of the fields have to be a sector or more apart on this map?  Why cant there be an even 50/50 with half the fileds a sector or more apart and half the fileds less than a sector apart?  Why are you against this?  You can go take your long flights into undefended bases without any interlopers to make you fight and the people that would rather run into a fight can, without flying forever.

Its not scientific, but I haven't seen anywhere near the number of players last night that I saw on OzKansas the other Friday night.

Sounds like they are on to something Beet.

It cracks me up the way you pay lip service to finger in the air hypotheses as provided by Delirium which, on his own admission, was not scientific, but you pooh-pooh real facts supported by photographic evidence. I guess it's a case of believing what you want to believe. :lol

Why not? You do the same thing with your polls that have the wholesale value of next to nothing. Heck, you only polled maybe 10% of the AH population that actually reads the AH BBS, fewer yet that read your drivel, and fewer yet that responded to it. To top it off, you threw out some of the votes that didn't meet your opinionated critera

Hehe, this board is full of people who speak without moving their lips (British sarcasm). I answer slapshot and Mars01 replies on his behalf, then I post to Mars and Delirium answers. Now I'm replying to Delirium - maybe slapshot will answer! :lol

Well, Delirium, there's no need to be rude. What have I ever done to you? You should have read what I said further up, which was "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." - I never ascribed any value to the poll for making a point, I was just curious. As for folks not reading my drivel, not only did they read it but no fewer than 6 guys of the TAS participated - a fair proportion of the entire squad - and those are the guys who love to hate me! ;)

I removed only about 3 votes. These were akin to "spoilt ballot papers". I clearly indicated the valid responses - integers from 1 to 5. What is 2/3? Is it 2¼? 2¾? Two thirds? The vast majority responded with valid values. Not my fault if a small handful can't comply. :rolleyes:

I said at the outset that this thread would become a flamefest. At least we survived longer than 12 hours.

Huh,

Did I miss something.  Is this a private thread.  Where did I miss that.  Hmmmm a discussion board where we aren’t aloud to make comments and have a discussion.  Interesting concept.  No ones forcing you guys to participate.

When do you most of you really discuss anything intellectually without involving the style of ones flying ability,  the plane he flies,  which map he prefers,  or even how many kills he can land?  Now thats rare.
