Or do it the easy way: http://mage.net.tc/vapg

Alternatively, use my own graph that provides no additional functionality: http://moofed.homelinux.org/active/

Well I'm more or less a nation less serco so I should not count. :P

I may have blue skin, but I'm Serco at heart!

How long will it take people to get it through their heads? :D But honestly, everyone is soo biased, (spelling?). They wouldn't let me lead the Serco in the cap ship battle when I was probably the best of the 2 or 3 Sercos on.

/me screams "DISCRIMINATION" at the top of his lungs. :)

Nice graph, moofed.

Hehe Calder, just have the devs change yer color?

Or, if yer sooooo good, just make a new Serco Character - getting it to level 9 pilot should be a snap then, right?

i still say firemage's graph is more sexy.

yours would be cool moofed if you could fill in the stuff fire's is missing, but you didnt.

and it is obvious that being uit is boring, to us fighters anyways, all them uit people is just going about and trading boringly, or defending from pirates as in the case of the VPR's... boringly.

who? me?: Mind revealing what exactly is missing from the graphs?

I do not think you can draw a "being UIT is boring" conclusion by looking at active player charts....

a few questions arrise, where do you get the data for your graph?

see firemage's lost a couple weeks of data, and so it doesnt show up. Does yours replace the lost data?

also about the visualness of the graphs, i guess i like fire's cause i am more used to it than yours.

I do think that UIT should have a special activity that they participate in. I did like the graph, by the way, nice going.
Jun 28, 2005 jexkerome link
Yeah, we UIT need another activity besides bashing the warmongers in the chat channels. The "Special Trade item" idea is my favorite so far.

Of course, we also need to have the Maud brought back to decent flying status...

Okay at first I thought it was a fluke. But in the past week I've seen VERY few Serco on. Anyone know what's up? I know something must've changed, because it's never been this bad for them since I rejoined Vendetta. Man, am I glad I went back to UIT!

we def. need more serco, we always have the least players on

:(

I wonder what that UIT spike on saturday is. Cap ship battle?
Jul 04, 2005 Arolte link
Poor Lin and maybe one or two other Sercos were defending their cap ships on Saturday. They got hit pretty hard. Everyone else had a solid defense. I felt sort of bad, so I tried to steer a few players away from the battle. I succeeded in distracting three or four players, but that's about it.

I would have been there in a bus... but "0" decided to pirate me... come on... who in Caesar's name pirates someone in a bus?

after that, I just gave up and went back to mining.

What is with the lack of serco? Do people just not like red?
Jul 05, 2005 Arolte link
Well if it makes you any happier he killed my empty bus too. In fact that's the only kill he got out of me. Heheh...

[quote]What is with the lack of serco? Do people just not like red?[quote]

Afaik Serco alway had the smallest playerbase; someone correct me if i am wrong.
The reasons for not choosing Red aka Serco might be as various and individual as the players. I can only guess.

For me red is the colour of power and love ... ;-)
But many human think red the colour of hostility and choose a different one.

Another, imho much more important reason might be the backstory which shows Serco in a very bad light. So bad, that in the beginning after the release, a Serco player got personal abused and had to deal with a lot of insults just for being Serco - which might have lead to that a player switched to Itani or UIT.

Last but not least ... being Serco means, playing a lot of time "alone", because there are not much of us online at the same time. But the people want to play in a group they feel "belonging to". So i think, a (specially newer) Serco player sees, that none or only a handful Serco are online, the ones being online don't talk because they might be busy fighting, afk or whatever and decides to switch to the bigger playerbases UIT or Itani - and so Serco loses more and more players. Just my idea, not sure if it really is like that.
