Oh and Bear, if you want to cheer me up, send me a pic of you in your softball gear... :)

Why do I get the feeling that if I do that... I will never live it down....

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.

Judge,  you don't know this because you are a recent return . . . but in general . .. and for reasons unknown . . .

During the week the Alliance rules.  On the weekend the Coalition rules.

My only guess is that Coalition players have real jobs while the Alliance players have to spend each weekend in jail for some probation violation or another.

Note sure if that will be the case for GW5.  But it has been for all of the recent servers.

Education

I gots some.


Experience

Romulan Tushie Protector:    During the later half of the General War I was responsible for protecting Romulan backsides from Gorn incursions.    I handed out Chastity belts to the Captains.  During a war shortage I received special commendation for quick thinking when I implemented "Operation Cork It"

Glorious Leader:   For several years I was the President for Life of the Lyran Peoples' Democratic Republic.   This was up until the Andros asked me to leave.   During this period I gained experience in political assassination, graft, demagoguery, and general Communist blathering.

Admiral, Lyran Navy:  I was the bestest Admiral in the Lyran Navy.  References available upon request.  DO NOT CALL THEM!! They are far too busy. Just read the reference letters!

 :smackhead: lol

Seriously, Ive been in the same boat- there's like, zero Alliance pilots round. Even last time, there was the odd one. Ya'll need some way to balance out the number of registered players, SFC3 does *that* part right, at least  ;D

You are all wrong!

The might Gorn/Federation Alliance is crushing the pitiful rommie attempt to enter our glorious space.

All hail our glorious, and damn fine lookin', Queen.

 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.

Numbers balance is the most sought after feature in any server, and the hardest for admins to achieve.  Mostly it's just a question of who shows up on any given day.  This weekend you got the short end of the stick.  As J'inn says, the bad guys have shown a tendancy to rule during the weekend and the good guys during the week. 

The good guys won the last two servers, however, so I know the people exist.  (Maybe they are all basketball fans and couldn't tear themselves away from sports TV hype.)  I know turnout from a couple weeks back does you no good right now whatsoever.  My only point is that I'm still hopeful the numbers situation will sort itself out.  I don't want to see lopsided green any more than you do.

What missions are being used?

Is this the GW server with ISC in it?

In GFL, they are are all playing WoW or SWG or GFL SFC3 Mod.  I think SSCF is still playing EVE. DomWars is done. IslandWars has been quiet for a long time now. Other than that: I don't know where they went.
