How many active members do this game have?

[H Tower]

I remember when this game started and you had a new post for that day in every thread for the last three pages, but from quickly glancing around, it seems to have really slowed down.

How many of you are still around actively participating in the game? And how did you kill off everyone else who used to play?

[punkbass2000]

Sorry wrong forum

[Panzer32]

Is it the wrong forum?

I think that now, there are more people involved in the PTW DG, as well as they just got bored once victory was 'assured'

Also, American Thanksgiving is slowing down the number of posts this weekend.

[Shiber]

Panzer's reasons, most likely.

[Kloreep]

Yeah, Thanksgiving has slowed the forum down a lot. Many of the ministers and active posters are away from home and are too busy to/incapable of getting on Poly. It should pick back up next week.

[Harovan]

There are still enough posters around to keep this game running. True, the PtW demogame drained a lot of people away, I'm also more active there than here, but that also means, less spam and more gameplay.

There are other dead demogames in this forum. For instance one, which is going to start since 6 weeks, and not a single turn is played for all the time.

[Hot Mustard]

I still read the goings on here, but haven't been posting or attended the recent turnchats.

The best reason I can give is that recently there was a period (a little over a week) where NOTHING happened. (no turnchats, no Gazette, it was peacetime, etc) What do you talk about when nothing is going on? I believe that brief period of inactivity, in combination with the building excitement of the PTW game, really had an impact here.

Perhaps the Zulu war will re-ignite the interest level.

War rocks (not in RL, though)!

[trickey]

Same situation as dejon...I just kinda read the stuuf going on. I dont take the time to post much anymore.

i'm in two of them

Civ2 and CtP2.

for want of a minister

[MrWhereItsAt]

I am OOC (out of country), away from my copy of civ and thus can do little more than watch and occasionally guess what the game looks like.

I still check up on you guys though. Don't want all that time and effort to go to waste.

[Gramphos]

I'm still reading and voting, but I've less and less computer access during the weeks so my posts have decreaced a lot.

[Hot_Enamel]

I always lurk more than I post

Still check the boards daily though, and I have followed the game since the beginning

And I vote in almost every poll

[lmtoops]

Like Hot_Enamel, I'm a lurker.

I don't understand why some are so conserned about what they cannot control. There is plenty of players to continue, so play and enjoy.

[Aro]

I'm not exactly a lurker, but I'm without the time to post so much. In one or two weeks i'll be back

[GhengisFarb™]

Mostly lurking here, as I have more duties at the PTW game.

[GodKing]

here. alive. just that RL thing keeps getting in the way.

also, as panzer said above.........

[kring]

Agreed with the RL thing; I haven't posted much lately, but I do look in regularly to see how things are going.

[Meshelic]

Lurk every now and then, but the PTW game has my focus mostly.

eh, besides it got a little too bureucratic in here kinda took some of the fun out of it for me, personally.

[H Tower]

can someone guestimate the number who are still active here? the one's who still run for office, religiously check threads, etc, etc? i'm really curious

[Arnelos]

My guesstimate: perhaps 20-30? It was around 50 for a long time, but it's been down to around 20-30 ever since the PTW game took off.

[Panzer32]

Maybe 10-15 people who would consider taking an official job.

Maybe 20-30 people who check every thread.

There were ~55 people who voted in the elections.

These numbers are pure guesses based on # of people voting in polls, and on my own browsing of the forum.

[Panzer32]

we posted at the same time, with the same general numbers!

[notyoueither]

Still here, after all these years...

[astrologix]

I hope that 2 or 3 civs soon declare war against our glorious people. That will certainly re-launch the general interest to this game.

I'm not very active , but I always vote, check some threads and load the saved games.

[jdjdjd]

I still check in.

[lmtoops]

Why guesstimate (is this a word? )?

If there are 1000, just play the game.
If there are 10, just play the game.

[Robber Baron]

I'm still in, though I post less frequently. (A lot of work, lately, and a lot of PTW playing, too.)

[Sheik]

I am still here. Thanksgiving and PTW DG slowed things down but I believe that the game is still going strong.

[Nimitz]

I'm still here.
