30? I don't remember the last time we had that many and "zerged everything". Last night's zerg consisted of about 6 people at our strongest and most nights it may peak at about 15. When I logged off (about 5:00 AM GMT) we had three people left trying to get Herb back. Obviously it got worse after I left since there were only 2 people left in the "zerg".

Just to illustrate our overpopulation, let me take an excerpt from Xia's status page

Alsius captured Herbred Fort Thu 17 Dec 2009, 03:32 AM GMT
Alsius captured Eferias Castle Thu 17 Dec 2009, 05:37 AM GMT
Alsius captured Algaros Fort Thu 17 Dec 2009, 05:24 AM GMT

Syrtis reclaimed Eferias Castle Thu 17 Dec 2009, 07:34 AM GMT
Syrtis reclaimed Herbred Fort Thu 17 Dec 2009, 07:46 AM GMT
Syrtis reclaimed Algaros Fort Thu 17 Dec 2009, 08:02 AM GMT


Syrtis "night crew" overpopulation FTW!

Syrtis doesnt seem to have any night crew, alsius does have at least a small.

I'm starting to think leveling a alt in RA might not be such a bad idea, how many English clans are left in RA?

Alsius and Ignis still has a strong English base. Not too sure about Syrtis.

then u must be on.... never. at samal last night, syrtis had atleast 30 if not 40-45. this is typical. i have never seen syrtis in a small group (less than 10) do anything fort related.

while yes, there are times when the "zerg" that takes a fort can be RELATIVLY small, it is usually the giant, megazerg that does everything.

i recall a time when we had a group running to pb, over the hill came a group of literally (and i do mean literally) 60 syrtis. we got samal back the next morning.

and to clear things up, this "Night crew" is just when we have a planned invasion and many people are on during the night because that is when we have enough (and the enemies have too little) and we can actually accomplish something.

or we just get bored and decide to grab a fort for a while (usually about 20 min in syrtis)

Never underestimate the power of timezones.

I will openly admit to the zerg you say. But at the US "night" or Euro "early morning" shifts, Syrtis is next to dead. Note this time period starts around 11-13 hours since your post above. Those times are my day time and I often login to see no one around.

I play for about 3 or 4 hours almost every night, typically sometime between 1:00am and 5:00am GMT and I'm always in the WZ. I know I have seen you on quite regularly during the time I play, but at the same time I don't really pay that much attention to specific people from enemy realms. Maybe you're signing off mid my playing time so you're not seeing the same thing I am.

I'm thankful to Lumi for agreeing with me that there is no "night crew zerg" in Syrtis. I think Alsius has taken over as the most populated at night, but at the same time I'd hardly consider their numbers as huge.
