Down to under 700 actives on the leaderboard :(

Again, I think an over-emphasis on ensuring new pilots are trained as quickly and effectively as possible is detrimental if it contributes to us *losing* new pilots because they simply aren't having fun.

Even if it were possible, I don't like the idea of separate servers for each rank simply because I don't think it'd be very fun. >_> I want to see how better pilots than me fly, and I want to participate in exciting, complex games organized by such pilots. And, as Adept says, it's not possible. There aren't enough pilots around.

However, as I've often said before, I really really think that the newbie servers being empty all the time is a very bad thing, and once again remind everyone that not too long ago they were practically always in use by newbies, and now they are practically always empty, and I really think this should be seen as a problem, rather than a good thing as most people seem to see it.

It may be time to ask for some sort of @santa's-little-helper tags for people who can be trusted to help teach people in the newbie servers.

I would be willing to carry such a tag for one, and have no interest in massacring newbies for enjoyment. The @allegs are needed in the real games mostly, so lowly carebears like me should be able to help the newbies somehow.

Did post something about something but it made no sense, really shouldn't post in my sleep.
