Judge, play at night when it's fun. it's a game, not a job.
Don't burn yourself out over this stuff, trust me on this
The problem is that when you do that, the enemy has taken all your hexes and bases and then you have nothing to play with when you log on and it's on 2 or 3 to 1 at night. Heck, last night we almost had even numbers and were holding them off fairly well, but then all that is gone today as five to nine of them play all day virtually unopposed. Honestly, it's a problem with every server in D2 or D3 I've ever played on...equity of team numbers. I'd just thought D2 would be different and am having to deal with being let down big time. (Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying a server should have equal numbers at all times. There's always going to be some ebb and flow. NINE OR TEN to ONE at the worst, and TWO OR THREE to one during peak hours is not ebb and flow...it's downright slaughter. It cheapens the victory of those playing on the winning side, and is bitter to swallow on the other. Race registration doesn't always work to solve this problem either...which is why I've always been a fan of having a hard-coded race limit as a ratio to players of other active races, but the software can't handle that, I do believe).
Well, time to log back in and see if the server is working again. Hehe, I've been the only person on TS since Davey-e left a while ago. Some guy named Josh logged on for about two seconds and then logged off. Earlier this morning some of the 9th fleet members were on the TS server, but they were the british kind so I steered clear of them on teamspeak.
