Knights at that time had 130 I forget exactlywhat the bish had.
I mentioned it on Channel 200. Probably have it on film as I had my cam runing most of that night.
A little while later I checked again and it was 240
not that it matters, once numbers reach 200 they are already past the point of being rediculous.
Well without a log parser function (like the one that has been up on HTC website for countries but says coming soon) can't exactly tell. For this past sunday I took a shot at the peak times so if the numbers went there it spiked and played out fast somewhere between 9:36 and 10:43 or it happened between 9 and 9:36 (most Rooks start to log on around 9 and leave around 11 or 12).

http://www.dgideon.org/aceshigh/ahss21.pngHowever, as for being ridiculous .. I have to say that even with the numbers quoted from these screen shots take a look at the bases. In 1 hour of fighting with 200+ players the Rooks were only able to get 1 Knight base ..
9:36 25 Bishop Bases, 24 Knight Bases, 20 Rook bases
10:43 25 Bishop Bases, 23 Knight Bases, 21 Rook bases
It looks to me like those Bishops and Knights who log onto sundays instead of avoiding have come up with some very effective strategies to hold the Rooks back. Now, yes they have no hope of actually resetting the Rooks or siezing bases back during this 3 hour to 4 hour window on sundays but the ones on have adopted practices / tactics of hunkering down on the defense and not giving an inch without a fight. Was effective this sunday. And has for the last 3 sundays.
So they have adapted and gone from being clubbed like baby seals to coming up with ways to withstand the Sunday numbers by concentrating on defense instead of avoiding the night like some squads have posted they are doing.
Imagine what it would be like if instead of avoiding sunday if more Bishops and Knight squads actually rallied and turned out on sunday to stuff it in the Rooks face.
Its very possible Knights came up in force last night:

http://www.dgideon.org/aceshigh/ahss27.pngIf the Knights could get 160 on Tuesday and if they then could get 160 on Sunday might be very interesting.
Being stopped cold when the Rooks have strong numbers is also going to have an affect on the "Fair Weather" rooks .. the ones that came over because of the numbers who basically are going to get frustrated by the fact that an unorganized mass can't or isn't crushing significantly smaller forces. Its much easier to organize 130-160 than it is 200 .. so the 200 size force is clumsy and does stupid things. While the smaller force has become really, really motivated.
