Shure my friend, but it will take me at least 1 hour to check and count all the bans from january till now. But you've discovered a way to do this in only 5 mins. Can you tell me how? Enlight me please. _________________

Ok, I'll check and count and show the players that you've lied. I don't know what was the reason (except for denigrating me). _________________

I see increase in number of bans in last two months instead of decrease, so that might be one of reason. |
I've managed to check and count the bans given in last 2 months:
April:
54 bans given by me
15 bans given by Fort
8 bans given by Mia
10 bans given by Bill
------------------------
87 total
May:
54 bans given by me
12 bans given by Mia
5 bans given by Bill
Fort is not mentioned here because it was his job anymore to give bans.
-----------------------
71 total
So, after I've spent almost one hour checking and counting thie bans, I've prooven that you were wrong with your calculations and you posted some random numbers there only because you had nothing else good to do.

Why post only for two months? I have very well said that i counted number of IP banned (obviously it will be more than number of player). For all months. But while doing so, i maintained same criteria for all months. Unless you post figures for all months, your figures does not mean anything. Your April and May figures will be higher than corresponding Jan Feb Mar figures.
As you can see the trend, both your figure and my figure matches perfectly in inferring that from april to may , there was a decrease in number of bans. There is no contradiction. And i am very sure that the same trend on increased banned from Jan to April/May will be proved by your numbers. Thanks for counting husky |

If I can just quickly interrupt you two, can I shed some light on this as I have read nearly every post in the forum, and every post in the ‘complains’ section.
What I did notice is that bans and or punishments have been more predominant of late. Mostly being bad language. At the same time, all these punishments have been and justified. So I don’t think it is due to ‘ strictness’ or the actual rules of Galactic Magnate.
From what I have read, punishments and bans have been at best stagnate in comparison to when I first joined Gm (December 2007). But I truly doubt that plays a part in the apparent shrinkage of GM.
To be honest Fort, I haven’t noticed any fewer members. I see players like Mr. Crabbs and Hipster leave the game, but they are always replaced. Neither have I noticed an extra abundance or shortage of players in the lobby.
Disconnections are frustrating, especially when you start losing 4 or 5k per pop. But I have grown to accept it, and I myself wouldn’t leave solely for that purpose. But this would only really bother people whom have 20k + in points.
I think if this is a real issue, and you want some real answers, contact players whom have actually left and ask them their reasons for leaving.
Lastly people do talk about other games in the lobby. Not only that they are playing the ‘other’ game whilst chatting about it. The GM lobby, in some cases, has been turned into a sister lobby for a different strategy game. But again, I do see this as a reason for people leaving.
But never fear! Fingerbang has decided to stick around until David finishes his ‘10,000 post’
I didn’t vote in this poll, as I don’t think any of them are responsible. _________________ I am the artist formally known as FINGERBANG! |

Thank you fingerbang. But even nearly everyone accepts that number of players have fallen, thats beyond argument. I was trying to find out the reason until someone took it personally.
This might beinteresting, number of players banned in March
Fort : 14
Husky : 4
Mia : 6
Bill : 1
=======
Total : 25
Didnt i say number of players banned have increased from march to april. See for yourself ! |

I am not disagreeing with Fort, I just didn’t realize that the GM community was shrinking. If it is shrinking, I have no idea what would be causing it.
I couldn’t care less about the banning. As long as its not me getting banned. _________________ I am the artist formally known as FINGERBANG! |

Now i can feel for you when good posts are locked for no reason. A decent post to find out the reason behind fall in number of players is blown away due to 1 person taking it personally. |
