Also people have a strange belief that only their country has people sitting in the tower, when common sense would tell you that all countries would have a close to same % in the tower

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Bish tend to have superior numbers during morning (ET/CT) hrs. I've seen as high as 50% Bish towered ot while Rooks or Knight percentages are much lower.

I know you're up to your ears with the engine re-write but how hard/much time would be required to baseline ENY on active (call it 15 minutes) players only?

Two weeks.

ENY based on how many players are in flight sounds like a great idea and could be easily implemented.

As brought up thousands of times the overpopulated country mission planners would just sit in the tower until they get a favorable ENY then launch en mass with their horde of LW monsters against the lower numbered country.

In fact if you believe it could lower the ENY , it could just as easily raise the ENY.

Statistically "most" of the time that is probably true, but there are instances where you get 2 to 3 standard deviations away from the normal where you happen to have an unbalanced number of players sitting in the tower from one particular side actually affecting the outcome.  Just like if I flipped a coin 10 times and recorded the results day in and day out.  A couple days out of the month I might come up with 8 heads and only 2 tails.

Personally I don't think people should be booted due to inactivity in the current state of the game.  Leaving the players in the game unwittingly creates an illusion during log in that there are more players actually playing than really are, which I think is good for the MMOG selling point.

Which leads to the question: Is there ENY because of the tower sitters... or are they sitting in tower because of crippling (in their eyes) ENY?

Try to conduct a survey of these tower sitters while they're in their bunks.....er towers in the wee hours Snailman. See if anyone responds. That would make an interesting pie chart.

This is theory, not fact. Test it out and see. Then it becomes fact.

1. An opposite contention is just as much theory (with arguable odds against it).

2. Your scientific methodology would be ..... ?

Its not hard to understand there, Derp.
Test out his Thoughts,speculation,theory and then base off those findings.

and you really think that hitech who created the game doesnt have access to that data?  you really think that at any one time he would not know how many people are in flight, how many in gv's and how many are just sitting in the tower?

I bet that he even knows how many kills are landed by each and every player down to how many bullets hit their target.  I bet he might even know which skin is used more often.

So, HT is the lulz-d0xer?

I keep reading this and that, but with me, seeing is believing.

Wouldn't have been easier to just post 'I dunno how, I make it up as I go then tell other people to do it for me?'

Back up your own claim, seeing is believing.
