the side balancing sucks

[Randy1]

When you a country or countries have the numbers, then start rolling bases it is great fun spurred on by the winning spirit.  Players start reaching out to be first to the next base and or hit another base or the starts to make the small number of players in the attack countries life miserable.  Winning loves company, misery does not.  For this very reason the ENY and side swapping does not work.

The Rooks have lost a lot of players of late due to the frequent side imbalances.

We have though, picked up a few very fine players that were truly looking for a good fight.

Evil thought, if you have not changed country in X number of days/weeks, when you log in you are moved to the least populated country and must remain there for the min change country time.

I originally said this jokingly , but this is growing on me, the only thing I would do for squads is that they can designate a "Squad Night" each week that would protect people from the side change on that day.

Oh so you want to draft us as spies....lol. I switch sides so that is really a non factor

I would cancel my subscription if unable to fly with my squad.  ENY or being on the team with the least amount of people is absolutely not a factor in my enjoyment of this game.  This game is about people.  Not being able to fly with my squad would destroy my enjoyment and definitely not make it worth the cost.

Seconded.

I think you'd kill the game off if you did that.  People would flat out leave in droves. 

You'd be better off with two sides than with this in my opinion. 

Try the 🥕 carrot not the stick.

What Bug said.  Chesspiece underoos are nothing compared to squad underoos.  Squads need to stick together somehow, period.

Can't we just keep it simple switch to the lower number team  no time limit. 

Switching back to the higher number teams 6 hours?   

Also remove the 25perks for the war win and create a 5 star achievement for amount of war wins on your team.   

I'd rather see a log of chess piece war wins on the website or tour info rather than 25 perks.   This will rule out the "alleged" guys who swap for the win and sit in the tower?   I don't buy into that but people list that as a reason.

I like this idea.  I can't say I think it would help anything, but it in itself would be cool to have.

How about making ENY a carrot as well as a stick:  Log in to the low-number side and fly for X (sorties/hours), and receive a "Get-Out-of-ENY-Free card" that exempts you from ENY for X (sorties/hours) the next time you log in.

When we split the arenas in 2008 and people couldn't fly with their squad, it was the beginning of the downfall. Forcing people to fly on the low #s side is not the answer.

The answer is making a map that promotes fights on all 3 sides of the map and make it small enough so that players from all teams can find fighter action.

Secondly, I think the time switch to 3 hours would be more realistic and work. I thought about switching to the low # side yesterday, wasn't sure if the fight would be worth it because it's hard to tell which team is winning the current fight on the other side of the map. I didn't want to switch and be stuck again for literally the rest of the night.

No maybe. Few perks.

ROFL.

It was only after the split arena that the numbers truly took off.

That's interesting considering the amount of gripes I remember about splitting squads and not being able to fly in the arena with your friends. The #s were increasing but people were mad that 2 arenas kept the #s low per arena. I I was in college between 2009-2013 and didn't get to play, so whatever changed between then (maybe strats?) Idk, but something killed the vibe....
