Title: Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?
Post by: Slade on February 01, 2021, 07:48:01 AM
So if, per HiTech, the issue is not attracting new flyers but instead retaining them.

...and giving away 10 times the perks was a crazy success last weekend...

Give new players 10 times the perks for a reasonable amount of time.  :old:

Let me see.

1) Use another unused credit card
2) Create a new game ID (numbers guy)
3) Start playing like a new player

15X the perks

Result in increase of shade accounts. Don't think it wpuld retain players. You never know.  Worth a try.

Shade accounts? I could throw right up if i read or hear this. Most players are over 40 years old,it is not a Kindergarten.

Using such foolish moves for what? Its just a game not a lottery.

How did you formulate your hypothesis, and how did you reach your conclueshIN?

  GUARD #1:  What, ridden on a horse?
  ARTHUR:  Yes!
  GUARD #1:  You're using coconuts!
  ARTHUR:  What?
  GUARD #1:  You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin'
      'em together.
  ARTHUR:  So?  We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this
      land, through the kingdom of Mercea, through--
  GUARD #1:  Where'd you get the coconut?
  ARTHUR:  We found them.
  GUARD #1:  Found them?  In Mercea?  The coconut's tropical!
  ARTHUR:  What do you mean?
  GUARD #1:  Well, this is a temperate zone.
  ARTHUR:  The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin
      or the plumber may seek warmer climes in winter yet these are not
      strangers to our land.
  GUARD #1:  Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
  ARTHUR:  Not at all, they could be carried.
  GUARD #1:  What -- a swallow carrying a coconut?
  ARTHUR:  It could grip it by the husk!
  GUARD #1:  It's not a question of where he grips it!  It's a simple
      question of weight ratios!  A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound
      coconut.
  ARTHUR:  Well, it doesn't matter.  Will you go and tell your master
      that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here.
  GUARD #1:  Listen, in order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow
      needs to beat its wings 43 times every second, right?
  ARTHUR:  Please!
  GUARD #1:  Am I right?
  ARTHUR:  I'm not interested!
  GUARD #2:  It could be carried by an African swallow!
  GUARD #1:  Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European
      swallow, that's my point.
  GUARD #2:  Oh, yeah, I agree with that...
  ARTHUR:  Will you ask your master if he wants to join my court
      at Camelot?!
  GUARD #1:  But then of course African swallows are not migratory.
  GUARD #2:  Oh, yeah...
  GUARD #1:  So they couldn't bring a coconut back anyway...
      [clop clop]
  GUARD #2:  Wait a minute -- supposing two swallows carried it together?
  GUARD #1:  No, they'd have to have it on a line.
  GUARD #2:  Well, simple!  They'd just use a standard creeper!
  GUARD #1:  What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
  GUARD #2:  Well, why not?

Why not? My only gripe was the same map up all weekend. Would probably be good to run the promo for every weekend in Feb.

God I hope that's not true ....

We have a similar problem with my fraternity, for every 2 new young Freemason's we initiate, we loose 3 Master Masons to the Celestial lodge on high....

In other words they die of old age, and Freemasons can't recruit ..... 2B1ask1.


If I'm not mistaken isn't the average AH player over 50?

He spoke those words in a recent Forum post.

Having accurate data is step one. Kinda like a patient that has a debilitating illness that is undiagnosed.  Once diagnosed, you can deal with it effectively.

Kudos to HiTech for testing new ways to remedy this.  :salute
