Title: Skuzzy, what's the state of the game?
Post by: PopJanko on November 24, 2023, 12:36:54 AM
Mate, what's the stability of our game?

Numbers have decreased, should we be concerned?

Quite frankly, you're a habitual professional victim who loves to insult people and then cry if they respond the same way. You're not holding a bible pal. Grow up.

1) You're a liar. A drama boy. The only PM you got from me was my FB address as a friend thing, and then I'm not missing anything if you're going to be twit. It had zero to do with your suggestion... ZERO. YOU got bent and stayed bent when I didn't take your suggestions to cut 6-7 minutes of a 10 min video. You project yourself non-stop.

2) They pushed hard enough for long enough that they got a GFYS PM, it was well earned. Didn't and won't lose any sleep over it.

I owe you NOTHING. I was not put on earth for your approval. I'm really tired of repeating myself to a rock. I live in your head rent free, get some help.

YOU are a problem. You think every post you make is going to have the last word. NOPE!

I'm not alone in my findings with you.

Well that’s a whole bag of nope lol. I would love to see these “findings”. I didn’t have to foresight to save your pms but I’m sure others have.   

Nobody is or has reported me for anything. The only person here I hold accountable is you due to your rampant hypocrisy and casual ignorance of your own actions.

At least even Vraciu has done some atonement and made recents attempts to be more civil. At least with me anyway. You continue to ride headlong into delusion. If only I was on another forum you could chase me around too.

Congrats on being the first person I have put on ignore in here since ever. Sorry everyone, you’re on your own now!

Yes the vicious Animl who refuses to take childish indults is a very very bad man. This is so ridiculous nonsense. By immature minds. Ya know, its only you 3 that have a problem with me. Which you 3 all started over snd over. You 3 hate me so you need everyone to hate me. This is stuff angry 15 yr old girls do. Basically you 3 are obsessed, in a sick way, with making people hate me based on delusional bs.

1) stop lying about me to drum up blind hate.
2) get your puppy teeth out of my ankles and keep them out
3) ignore me and leave me alone.

You live in an alternative reality on multiple levels.

If you won’t say it in a bar of drunks, don’t say it to me, its the same reaction.

This happens each year when the summer is over. Wintertime always has somewhat more players than summer. If you want to look at the numbers, compare them to previous years.  :old:

Feels like we went through this exercise same time last year. IIRC Lusche charted it using the score stats. I think the consensus was a that the decline had slowed but was staying steady. It only takes a few people to make things “feel” more crowded.

Can you confirm my impression that the rate of pilot loss has leveled out compared to previous years?  Or am I imagining that?

I think you are down to the hardcore lifers.  However they are bunched demographically so that when they start dropping out due to mortality or health issues, it's likely to roll over quick.

The game needs to get back to 350 or so and needs younger players who don't have one foot in the bone yard.  A game that has lost it's young players has lost it's future.

Awesome.  Sorry for bringing up a subject that triggered some others.

I will admit, I don't play as often as I used to.  I don't want to exaggerate, but thought we had late war numbers in 3 digits before moving away from the three war arenas (LW, MW, EW).  I also thought that, at one time, there were some statistics for the average number of players, but that one I may not have correct in any way.

Anyway, thanks Lusche for whatever info you can gather.  More curious than anything.

No, it's winter. There is always a few who come back this time of year. Those "new" players are actually just returning players passing through.

You see backward R’s don’t you?
Everyone sees what you’ve done, your attempt to play innocent is fubar and delusional. You fall for grifters too, so reality is not your strong suit. Just shut up already. You’re very obsessive. You and your tribe of 3 think you’re going to drive me out, its NOT going to happen. For what? Making a few videos to get the word out? You get what you put out. Maybe you should consider not lying and take your soap opera away. I haven’t done one damn thing to you. You make stuff up to justify your blind hate. You’re like an EX-GF who won’t go away. Stop saying stupid stuff and I won’t treat you accordingly. I’m not going anywhere. You get treated like you treat others,  the most elementary fact of life, you’re a victim of yourself. Spare us all your crocodile tears. You have no reason for your fixation so you make it up. How you get along with people resides in you. I’m not your push over.

Why you hate me is is so irrational you cling to sensational fallacy.
1) I didn’t want to delete 70% of a video
2) I don’t follow your politics
Nothing more, nothing less.

This is truly childish.

You're the one who can't quit me, PMing me for 10 hrs non-stop. I hope you got help.

Look folks we have the whole Anti-AH clan here in one post. The trash can kickers everyone should ignore. They have to make sure this thread stays on top as planned, it's in the design.

BTW Gilligan,....I was reading off line where all text is shown, ignores don't work, I logged into reply to your childish low IQ. I'll see you at the other forums again.

BTW, I'm going to the bar, where grown adults hang out, you prolly wouldn't fit in.

Gee ya think they were chatting that they all show up in the same negative thread a shade posted? All 5 of them, all former. Shocking I know. Predictable for sure.Knew this was coming as soon as it posted. These are not your friends, these are cockroaches that hope your game and HT's livelihood dies,.. thinking their game will benefit. Cockroaches.


BTW we hit 160 TWICE within a week......numbers are going up, not down in your wet dream. Must be why this post exist.... gotta try harder?

Another metric is total hours played, but the variable durations of individual tours has much higher impact on this one than on # of pilots and needs to be averaged over several tours.

Good work. It for sure shows the winter bump and the rate of decline has slowed. Looks like we hit the steady floor. Unfortunately an overall net loss start to finish.

Why the big drop in 2022?

Thank you Lusche.  I appreciate the real numbers!  It looks like overall trend is flatter but still trending downwards with a resistance level around 800 pilots.
