France - Who's Actually Still Here?

[ejengstrom]

Clearly tonight shows an interest in the other three factions attacking France. Who do we have on the rolls to still fight?

Grenville Coalition and Compagnies des Caroline are both operating well below pre-merge numbers, much less post-merge averages.

I'm not interested in trying to be at every red circle, or every port battle.

From my observations we have about 40 people at prime time US, maybe 60 at European prime time. Haven't seen us as moderate since the first time Cayo went into the red last round.

There are smarter people out there. Should we start considering one mega society?

If it were possible I do believe every French port would have been put in the red, aren't you lucky it isn't.

Im still around, although much less, since the on-going exodus is causing massive - group forming problems. Shame, I really miss those nights were we had full groups roaming around pvping, it just anit happening now.

I dont make policy, but maybe grenville and CDC reminants should considered merging.??

hellvaf I know how to stop the bleeding. The original 7 are mostly MIA;OTG, SG, VDD,RG, RR, GvC, CDC.

As far as a lot of french captians, many are content having taken last place france and building a 1st place nation. Essentially, their work here is done and the they are taking a break.

La Fed is here. About 5-10 strong per night, but seldom enough 50s to fill a pvp group.

Consolidation is probably inevitable, just like Guad.

Doesn't really take more than 50-75 folks to defend a nation without playing 24/7...so we'll probably be ok once we get beat a few times and get pointed towards consolidation the hard way.

I still think the U.S. players (all factions) could better link up with the European players who play on the opposite side of the clock.

the Roseau flip was the result of US and European players working together (mostly Europeans, truth be told).

the US pirates and European pirates are not yet to the point where we're all working together as a single large force, but many of us are coordinating our play and attempting to communicate with and help each other.

the language barrier is more of a problem than the timezone difference.

Laissez Faire had a full PvP group roaming around Tampa and Cayo before the server crash yesterday. We had a few people not in the group wanting to get in, actually our society is growing and expanding on daily basiss. It is sad to hear that many other societies are loosing the numbers, hope you guys can form some kind of guild/alliance that will allow yout to form pvp groups. In the meantime everyone willing to pvp is more then welcome to get in touch with us :-)

La Compagnie des Iles Occidentales is still here, though in reduced numbers and activity. We only have about 5 max online at one time, though, so we're not in the red zone/PBs at all right now.

Highland Confederacy is still here. We've had a member quit recently and two more are looking at the new shiny (AOC). But we still have about 8-10 active members. Unfortunately, they are not all 50's and there are rarely enough around with enough time to PvP.

But if you need an economic offensive, we are in shape to execute one.

Im pretty sure we can still feild enough hardcore Frenchy's to smoke the rest of the nations in PB's soon they will see their efforts are fruitless when they still get smashed in the port battles by us. Then they will turn on eachother in an effort to get points somewhere else. The French will remain victorious, though it may take us a bit longer without the aid of the UD tools. We are still by far the strongest nation in terms of pvp. That single factor will keep us on top.
