Not sure you could blame the current regime for that one though, chaps.

LarryLongNeck, those are not the stats we were talking about.

Total Available Cash In Game: $1,300,000,000 that means an average of $2,218,430 per user (based on 586 users.)

November 2014, this number read (based on 1000+ (minimum) users)

I guess we'll take your word for it then.

8th October 2015 when Duplicity was GF in Chicago.

Look at those numbers, look at the number of members in each city/district/game. Now, I can't be bothered counting the entire current game, but go and count the current members sponsored ( Which is what the screenshot shows ), what's the difference in numbers?

I count -182.

I can't go back further than that as it was a different doc which I must have deleted, but when 303 were around I can promise you the total number of game members were 1000+.

Thanks for your spreadsheet.

I'm not counting them up, but the top left of your sheet says 626, if it is to be believed,  and the stat you quoted earlier is 586.

So 40 in roughly 2 years, not 600.

Given there is nothing on the front page that I can find to suggest we ever had over 1000 active members, are you sure that stat didn't count CAs and NPMs originally? 

It only counted sponsored members, I did it myself.

No, the 1200 users thing you were talking about. 

There is no evidence to suggest that is true and all the screen grabs of the front page never go above 500 active for the same time period, so I'm guessing it counted NPM/CAs too.

I'm sure Squishy could answer all this.

We're now talking about dates that out-stretch that of the current regime. If there has been a decline over several years, how can you put the blame solely at their door? Especially given they are players, and therefore not responsible for the overall performance of the website. As I said previously, if there has been a decline over a period of years, the problem, and therefore resolutions, lies with the owners of MR.

All this aside, as you're a player of the game Alpe, what feedback would you offer to improve MR? It's easy to complain, but what would you do differently? Have you engaged with the management to offer constructive feedback? If you had a means of doubling membership, I'm sure people would be all ears. 

In my opinion, these OOC boards should be a place where feedback can be made to make the game better, but it also has to be constructive, and based on sound evidence. 

I didn't blame the current regime for the entire userbase that has left, just saying that each regime loses and gains people but this regime loses more through bloodlining.

Feedback to improve MR? I don't really care as I don't play anymore, I just pro people as and when it's called upon me as playing under this regime will only result in being killed due to building a decent sized gun despite never going rogue before.

I hope the irony, in that one of the most active threads right now is the one talking about how dead the site is, isn't lost on anyone.

As I said earlier Alpe, active usage since May is slightly up. This suggests that what you're saying is incorrect and that this current regime isn't having a negative impact on numbers. It may be having a negative impact on your experience, and others may share your views, but that doesn't mean things are in decline across the board.

Nonetheless, I give up. I don't know what you seek to gain by moaning about things and then saying you don't care when asked what you'd do differently. 

Whilst I see the irony, as pointed out by HenriDucard, I like these threads because constructive feedback is an opportunity for the game to improve. If people who aren't enjoying the game don't give any though, decline is inevitable. 

You what is dead?

THESE DURDENS! LET'S GET BACK TO THE FUN.

Thanks, The_Kid! I made obvious typos but the gist was to forget the negativity and let's enjoy the game lol

A lovely person making a lovely point, as usual <3
