I didn't get out of the A's but here's a summary of my findings...
About half of the factions I looked at were only 1 Member, INACTIVE ACCOUNTS
Most of the rest had less than 5 members, all INACTIVE ACCOUNTS
In fact, in the thirty or so factions I looked at, I found 3 or 4 that could be called active factions
There were two factions that actually had players online right now, total 6 players.
Any comments...?

But conversely, who are we to say people can't start a faction whenever they want. At the end of the day, we are ALL playing the game and we start as equals. I don't know.....
Nothing like a little late night melancholia, hey?

At any one time, you can look at the numbers for players online, it's usually between 250 and 500. I'm not sure that's enough to sustain the game, let alone develop it. My worry is that if it doesn't pick up soon, HCS will drop it and we'll lose out on the real money we've invested in FC's, not to mention our time and effort as well...
Am I worrying over nothing. It is after all, only a game...?

No, it is one less than infinite....
plus we do not have infinite player registered.

"No, it is one less than infinite...."
Actually, it IS still infinite. As Infinity is by definition NOT a fixed number, or in fact a number of any kind, it is impossible to have 1 less than infinity. What you get is just a different view of infinity....
Good grief, that's three Maths related posts in one day! Perhaps those years of University weren't wasted after all!

I got bored again, so this time I did what Nestor suggested and looked through the "Top 250" faction list, from the bottom up. I only got as far as 197, but I did notice several factions where EVERY member is inactive. My question, therefore is this...
Why are they listed on this board? Or indeed listed at all. Surely there must be active factions outside the top 250? Wouldn't it be fairer to remove the inactive factions from the board to make space for these others? I'm not suggesting that inactives be removed from the game, just from the "Top 250 Whatevers".
I think that the "top" boards should be for Active players and factions only, to recognise people who are actually playing!

Now a serious question for our friends at Cow Central.

They wont do this. just like they wont remove all of the lvl 10-20s inactives from the top pvp players board. although i think any faction that has the Founder inactive be disbanded. that is no way to leave a faction.
