When the bulk of the work was done (last night) the numbers were fairly even, as far as I remember.... OK so they weren't just now.... not our fault.  :)

Arena imbalance always happens near a reset, a country can grab fields till one country looks destined to die thenlots of players jump ship to grab cheap perk points or just to be on the winning side. If the numbers were imbalanced then take it up with your countrymen who abandoned you.

Anyway, what are we supposed to do when the numbers are imbalanced?  "Hey, Bishops, we'd better not capture any bases because the numbers aren't balanced.... we'd better just play amongst ourselves for now.... don't want to upset the Knights and Rooks...... "  :D

Can't count me anyway, all I did was sit in the tower...  :p

Yep  :D  Well, I was just getting dinner ready and had a few minutes while things were cooking, so decided to have a quick look to see if the reset had happened yet - it was heading that way when I logged last night.  Rooks were down to 4 bases..... and I got chatting..... next thing I knew the war had been won.  ;)

Rooks were down to 60 players is the right quote. And the real reason why Bish won the reset. I Bishops for an accomplishment, but that does not blind me enough as to not see the reasons behind: LEMMING POWA! :D

When the reset happend there were 111 Bish and 46 Rooks on....keep patting yourselves on the back.

I would be ashamed to post and brag about that reset.

As far as people jumping countries, I challenge anyone who was on to name 5 who jumped to bish to help reset.......My money says no one can name even 5.....

In the old days, and I know it is unthinkable in these modern times,  people just would move sides to balance.

BS.  I have been here since Tour 6 or 7 and that is simply not true.

I have never been one for changing countries to balance the numbers, in all the years I have been playing first Air Warrior and more recently Aces High.  Numbers vary from hour to hour, day to day, week to week...... I have been in the country with the most numbers, I have been in the country with the fewest players and in the one in between.  Never have I ever considered changing countries for any reason.  If we have the numbers, we take advantage of the fact - same as any other country does.  If we have the least, we defend what we have and then work together to try and regain lost territory, against all the odds.  Whatever the situation, I am here for one reason only...... to have fun!  :p
