Mushroom Kingdom for most active alliance. Mushroom Kingdom for only alliance.

I'll bet dollars to donuts that the 500-1000 member population swell you saw during the last war was comprised mostly of returning people who got word from old friends that something interesting finally happened. When the war ended, and everything stagnated again, you saw the global population trend right itself and return to "plunging" status. It's nice to think that maybe there's an untapped internet community, but the reality is this: every forum that already spawned its own alliance has probably already sent us most of the people it's going to send. I'd be interested in seeing an average age of all player accounts. Obviously there's been an extended and continuing exodus of players, and frankly it's hard to blame people sometimes. According to the all nations display, 103 new nations were created on November 30. How does that number compare to the past? Has anyone checked that kind of statistic before? I'm wondering if the same number of people are registering, but the population keeps shrinking just due to older players leaving. Or, in addition to the diaspora of older players, is recruitment also down?

[quote name='Robster83' timestamp='1296856109' post='2619530'] Yeah guys, keep on driving people away from the game. [/quote] It's not a matter of driving people away, it's people being honest with someone who is in desperate need of more time spent in the world and in an alliance with competent leadership (lol UPN, you'd have no idea what that was like). If this guy starts his own alliance, I guarantee he gets no members and three raids on him immediately. Would you prefer everyone had told him "Ooh! A contest with great prizes! You're sure to succeed! Unicorns and happiness for everyone!" instead of being honest?

Oh, it's already been brought'n.

[quote name='Master-Debater' timestamp='1295928153' post='2597882'] I cant !@#$@#$ believe how low you have sunk. [/quote] You'll get over it.

Hail Archon. Hail MK. Hail Doomhouse! Roll the nemesis.

Oh good. Now Lolar is assured victory.

Your DoW isn't funny. Have fun getting spanked by the good guys, though.

[quote name='The Corrupt Teacher' timestamp='1295420569' post='2583404'] Impeccable timing. I love the update blitz...(no wrong)...good job preventing them from running into peace mode?...no...Okay terrible DoW timing overall and I hope you guys don't get reamed with reps when you inevitably fail. [/quote] At least they have a good flag...oh wait. No, you were right the first time. There is nothing good about this DoW.

[quote name='abdur' timestamp='1295417677' post='2583300'] Winner winner chicken dinner? [/quote] Nope. Maleatu was sporting a new sig when I posted that Falloutboy need not enter- and not the one I made, so I went ahead and cleared out the storage space.

[quote name='Falloutboy' timestamp='1295412841' post='2582791'] I'll throw something up tomorrow. [/quote] Based on the post before yours and Maleatu's new sig, that probably won't be necessary.

Lennox is the best.

Edit: Nothing to see here.

VE, I love you guys. Stop using Copperplate.
