NC = Toast

[noxious]

I am well aware that you were talking about a single faction. I addressed that as well. Even that claim is totally unfound.

I did a little research into the number of active people playing on each faction (who are also in an outfit) during the week of Sept 8 to Sept 14. The numbers are a little curious. These numbers are for Emerald.

TR: 3903
NC: 3600
VS: 3516

There seems to be some sort of anomaly here, since NC consistantly have higher numbers of players actually playing. Perhaps they are more active then? Ah yes, looking at battle rank distribution it is clear that NC consistantly must have more players playing, specificly at battle ranks 15, 17, 19 and 20. They are more or less equal with VS at 18, both are much higher than TR, and at 16 the factions are quite even, with NC having a slight edge.

So what can explain the population dillema? The NC are active. Their players are gaining battle rank, and skill, at a rate much faster than the TR, and somewhat faster than the VS.

If you delve into the individual populations active during playtime (which I have not done consistantly enough to back this claim up with definitive numbers), you will see numbers consistant with this analysis. The NC, contrary to what you continue to try and claim, do not have two times as many players playing, even /who agrees with this. They have more, no one here has argued that, but not two times as many as even one faction. A high for them is 40%, while they may go higher, it is extremely rare. Even this leaves 60% to be distrubited between the two other factions. In order for one to be outnumbered two to one by the NC, they would have to be outnumbered two to one by their other enemy.

Any way you rationally look at it, your claim simply can not be substantiated.
