There is nothing 'happy' about that day.

I understand that but the tragedy is an invasion of Japan was calculated to cost 5 million Japanese lives. I think that weighed in Truman's decision

Five days into the new tour and everyone is still ranked zero.    :D
Who cares? That's where you're losing the fun part of it. Do people really care about rank? Seriously?

Do many players care about score, YES.

Do most, I doubt it.

Do I, nope. 

Everyone plays the game differently, some very different from others...
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Somewhere around Clear Water just sw of Tampa ( kinda like the suburbs of South Tampa Bay).... I would suggest....... or of you are looking for something closer in relation to Oregon SW area.. I would say Ocala, MiddleBurg or Middleburg/Clay Hill area west towards Hwy 301 and McClenny......or Green Cove Springs and South or west of Green cove

Either Clear Water area and or Middleburg area and you will find work easily and the paycale is like 7 times higher than what it is where I live in NC.....

is why I kept moving back to Florida through the years, LOL

about Original Topic! ----> drastic decline in player quality

I guess players are just not finding the right time or something......

I logged on a 8PM EDT Monday Night and played for an hour in the SEAII trying out the MNM move for 1 hour......when I logged on their were 123 people in the MA, with other players in 5 different Arenas

I logged into the MA about 9:05  it was 131 in the MA and the number if I recall was still over 100+ when I logged after Midnight


the player quality was like it has always been for the past 21+ years

It's an open arena for the player to find their own fun for their $14.95      I don't have anything else to say........

I, myself took Kong's op as friendly ribbing towards all the other threads started about the scores being on 0

As Shuffler took as well as others like Puma44, Eagler, Jaeger, BiPolar etc.....

Don't think he's being sad or negative in my view. Just going by the topic  title and how his opening post is typed

<S>

My intent was to post an eye-catching, humorous reminder for HTC to fix the ranking system.  (Notice the  :D )

Apparently, it would have been better to send a private email.   :D :D :D
