Mully, while Smith has remained steady over this time period, what about the addition of 2 new worlds. In a perfect world, at least a perfect HD world, every world would be exactly even, whenever 1 person a new person would come in. In reality, no world will ever be completely filled every season, or even in any 1 single season.

I assume the goal for Admin is for all worlds to get establish and demonstrate the ability to stay at a consistant participation level. Then slowly add a new world or 2, hoping to get that world up the same participation level in a given time period as previous worlds.

I'm sure they have a target number for the number of total coaches in a given world during any one season in order to turn a profit. I have no idea if they're at that level, above that level, or below that level in the established worlds, but the fact that Smith has remained the same since you started tracking while 3 new worlds of HD has been added is a positive thing for WIS I would think.

I probably never would have tried HD without the promotion, and now I'm pretty much addicted. If there are another 100 or so people like me spread over all the worlds, I'd say it was a pretty big success.

Wow, a 12 pack!

It'd be interesting to run a t or anova test on those statistics to find out if they are statistically significant within a low probability of error.

Yeah, 12-packs of Sam Adams were on sale at State Liquor's this week. How else do you think I could stomach repeatedly getting squashed by every team with an RPI under 200 and still coming back for more.

With 2 new worlds, some people will claim WIS is not dying. But in the 2 worlds I play in, I doubt you would find anyone to say HD is growing.

I hope that was sarcastic.

If so you might want to add a disgusting face after the sentence.

Here's a prediction for you mully...

...with the new features implemented today, including and specifically related to the CC...

The number of sims will INCREASE.

I can explain my reasoning in detail if necessary.

More time spent playing on the CCs and the ability to interact with a wide range of coaches, in the same world, while not in the same conference, means less time to game plan and actually plan the game. Social time up, play time down. The number of human coached teams will actually decrease.

Explain how more fun equals less coaches?

The reason that people do this is the fun, the interaction with other coaches. You can get games for the computer if you just want statistical analysis.

I agree with swampy, half of the fun of this game is interacting with other coaches. Having the ability to do that during the non-con, recruiting and tournament time with coaches outside of your confererence will be a nice touch.
