The hell?

Isn't Total Biscuit on Waterson

[Colindapieman]

It's Totalbiscuit's server and he plays TR...

[krnasaur]

I know its his server

But when one empire almost has the same amount of population as the other 2 combined, its kind of unfair. How do we combat this?

You have the Internet Icons all play on the same server rather then letting them each play on different servers

[Whiteagle]

You don't...

MAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

It's simple really. While TR retain such a huge advantage in pop, NC and VS have to basically leave each other alone, and at times, go as far as work together.

My outfit has rushed to an NC continent many times just to keep TR from taking the benefit from you. And, many times, I've been in 'debates' on the command channel with other VS 'commanders' about said strategy.

Me: "Dude, we came here to help NC and keep TR from taking the benefit. TR have 50% global pop and are zerging the world. Could you please stop attacking NC"

VS 'commander': "F#%^ You man. I don't know who the #%^& you think you are. Me and MY outfit will do whatever the #^^& we want!"

The enemy of your enemy is your friend.

I think I do.

Last I looked at my stats it said that I have fought TR about 2x as much as I do VS on Waterson.

Probably, it's been that way most of the early afternoon EST the past few days.

Even though it's hard to combat it, they haven't really overpowered any continent other than Amerish. There was a fantastic 3-faction war on Esamir yesterday that NC ended up getting the continent over because VS had to retreat to Indar to save it from the 68%TR faction there.

I used to think that massive TR numbers were a real problem, but to be honest all it really does is take one continent out of the choices. For VS that continent is Amerish, as anytime we go there we just poop-stomped quickly.

edit: Unless VS lost it today, we've owned Indar now for 6 straight days. So even though TR has huge numbers they're still not able to grab the only valued continent.

As an all-air all-the-time player, Amerish is the only continent I care about controlling. Still, I'm hoping we'll see a warpgate rotation some day so I can get in on that sweet, sweet Arc Bioengineering farm. Easily the most defensible position in the game and I wants it

I saw 44% on the game pop screen myself with in the last week.

It's called "Chicken Little Syndrome" and the sky is falling. Morning and daytime TR is high on Waterson. Primetime and late evening the numbers even out. Nothing new here, happens on Waterson, happens on other servers, happened in PS1.
