Numbers Creeping up
« on: October 18, 2025, 11:28:15 AM »
There are the usual low count days. But on there has been primetime numbers near 120.
Fridays seems to be a peak day.

Primetime usually starts gearing down at 9:30pm CT.
Last night at 11pm CT there was still 73-78 in the MA, 58 in FSO.

The Midwest is starting to feel Fall set in after a California type summer this year. Every day was stunning weather. But that’s ending for the most part. Most outdoor events are iver

There is still a low but steady stream of new and return players. I’ve helped 4 myself the last two weeks. I inly fly 1-3 hrs 5 days a week.

Just sayin (tm Pasha) we should see winter numbers rise.

Tomorrow I start weather predictions, for a small fee

Numbers slowly increase as winter approached every year, just not as high as the previous winter. :old:

Been predictable to a point for 35+ years.
But thanks for the negative twist

I have noticed a slight increase also, but most of the increases seem to be either on the Bishop side or Rook side. Knights seem to be having a problem getting new players, or at least increasing their numbers. :headscratch:

Plenty for a two sided war - gray vs blue - not so much for 3 as shown just about nightly...

But live with it as it isn't going to change..  :old:

8p CT, Prime Time
84 players

The horde pansies chased nits out and nits went down to 8 flying at prime time (eight) against 77. That's where your numbers are going. Nits are burned out on this stuff. Can't blame a single one of them. I left and it dropped to 7 flying (18 players)
Now I see why Bish were hording to get bases back some pushed them back but didn't finish the job to change the map,..... but rooks are running out of excuses....they just prefer to be dweebs. Rooks had 40 players (forty) (maybe 32-35 flying) which put the war they were at to 35-2....think about that.....35 vs 2, hilarious!! <eye roll>. I guess it finally got boring at 35-0. The entire country,.. can't imagine why nits logged

So there you have the numbers problem,.. complete utter dweebery.

Had nits not logged and had the same 35 numbers you would have had over 110

the problem is NOT the game,.. the problem is the players being idiots. <shrug>

can't imagine why nits have a numbers problem

5-1 up to 20-1? No they don’t want to waste time with that, neither do I. We just constant ckay pigeons feeding perks.

It is what I said it is, come listen to our radio. What do I have to gain to make it up? I have something to lose if it is true.

Denial will cost the game.

I would think dropping from 28 to 18 with 7 in the air would cover both

I know I felt pretty overwhelmed and frustrated by it all. It wasn't a good night for the home team for sure. I logged off rather than sit in the tower with a dumb look on my face wondering what to do.

yup, 80 vs 20  :rolleyes:

5-1 up to 20-1? No they don’t want to waste time with that, neither do I. We just constant ckay pigeons feeding perks.

I understand the frustration and have experienced it many time when the Bish get ganged (as each team does get its chance). I play until it just gets to stupid to play any more, like when the only fight in town is vs the group that likes to pick and run in their ponies, now D9s and tempies. My consolation is I am part of a good sized squad that has players on almost all the time. Working with them to start our own battle helps keep the fun going. Its too bad that it happens so often to the Knights. Its a bit of a running joke, "dont hit the Knights too hard as they might just log off!".

We need more numbers.  :mad:
