I came in here thinking this was going to be about Daylight Savings Time. I left disappointed.

I know the feeling.

Although I would argue that you have had far greater relevance than I in this world, and most would likely agree, it is neat to look at another perspective coming from someone who has spent the same amount of time in CN but not always in the same place.

I do indeed remember the time where NPO was around 1000 members, just after I joined CCC. Hell, I remember several times where CCC hit the 100-member mark. They've actually been pretty consistent at keeping close to that number in spite of the exodus of nations. Whereas many alliances are far smaller than they were at their apex. I mean, look at TOOL. We had around 350 before Karma. Granted around 50 of those were ghosts.

What keeps me around is the RP opportunities. I don't give a rat's what people say about my Wiki section or newspaper blog. I like an immersive environment and am an actor and author at heart, and CN is my stage and my manuscript.

I do agree, though. Watching friends depart for other realms is indeed saddening.

We love you too.

Hey, don't look at me. I've recruited, directly or indirectly, 8 players over my time span, and I think 3 are still playing.

The rest of you need to pull your weight! Perhaps you hang out with the "popular" kids too much. Try the nerds

I am a nerd.

I also was hoping for an honest and frank dialogue on the pros and cons of Daylight Savings.

No need to be a jerk.

I remember when TOOL was fluctuating members in the hundreds for a while. You guys have changed a lot since then.

No need to be a jerk.

More jerks are needed. They make the world a more colorful place. I couldn't imagine a world where everyone gets along. It'd be a nightmare.

I did a blog post about the game dying as well.. even tried to get people to use their talent to make banners and stuff..

I have no intention to declare Planet Bob is dying. The politics surely will be impacted by shrinking numbers, if anything, I am more curious how this will impact Planet Bob in the long run. I've seen communities in other world live for years beyond when people proclaimed it was dying. Just because it is different from what it used to be doesn't mean it is in fact dead.

Considering my spelling and grammar is quite fine, I think you're either being one of those strict English people like my teacher or you just don't have anything better to do. There is a thing called walking away if you don't like what someone has to say. If you think I am below you, then simply don't post.

Snarky comments meant to make someone come across as idiots reflects more upon you than the person you're trying to belittle.

I hear you girl. Let's hope Admin does too.

Don't get all depressed though, those that stay are the real die-hards. These are the people that make or break the game, so as long as they stick around the future is safe.

Well one of the reasons is that there is alot of alliances out there now compared to 2006 and 2007.

That reasoning doesn't explain it because there are less nations now total than there were in 2006/2007 and the number of alliances are actually dropping, not increasing. At one point that was true in 2008/2009 but not so now. We're down to 20k when there used to be 30k + back in 2006/2007. It is hard to bring new blood into any alliance because there simply aren't many people joining. The many alliances thing doesn't really impact the numbers of larger alliances when on a total level, bigger alliances have less people and there aren't many people coming in - which means a downward trend of people joining.

You shouldn't have been chosen to lead TOOL.

Really? I hadn't noticed! What a groundbreaking observation.

what a cop out.
