I would be more in favor of a small incentive to move to the lower numbered side. I realize that perk multipliers, eny, etc all favor the lower numbered side, but I suspect those benefits are nebulous to most players.

The fight's the incentive.  :D The 12-hour 'whoops, the odds flipped right back' is the discouragement.  :(

While I think most experienced, fight-oriented players (read fighter pile-its!) would agree with you, I'm don't think we're anywhere near the majority in this game.

While I realize that each side occasionally has the most players online and also sometimes has the fewest players I'd be curious to see if on average one team had significantly more players. I may be biased but it seems to me that the Knights (and I am one) typically are outnumbered. Then again it just might be the time of day that I logon.

Suggestions like the OPs should be penalised  :old:

12 hour rule kills more combat than it creates. And I'd put money on it being a root cause of the lowering numbers in the MA.

I've been online when Bishops have been outnumbered by 50+. When Knights have been outnumbered 60+, and when Rooks have been outnumbered 50+

It varies from day to day.

There is already a penalty for switching from the Knights.  The Pigs will be waiting for you....

That and, text buffered to death by mssn up, mssn up, hey you idiot get in the mssn on the pink side. And of course the endless arguing within the castle halls.
They're casting their bait over there, see?
