Operation Avalanche

[Frank Booth]

That is right boys and girls, we moved up one rank. We are ranked 10th now.

We can do this just keep at it.

 

[Frank Booth]

This is what the week graph for Avalanche looks like, ranked 10th now.

These are the servers ranked #9 and #8.

Lets keep this up, in one day we could pass both of them with a little effort. Our day graph is great. We are always 10+ players.

 

[Frank Booth]

Avalanche is ranked 8th as of a few minutes ago.



We are getting 12+ hours of full capacity. Until now it was the easy part. I can say we are definitely past Stage 1. But we need to push even harder now.

This is the Avalanche day graph.

These are the next three servers we need to overcome. As you can see the graphs are very similar. This is where we need to be very proactive.

yeah i was just gonna say up to 8th ... gj guys keep it up!

 

[Frank Booth]

If things keep going the way they are and a little push we are looking to move up to 5th place in ranks soon.

 

[Wally_Higgins]

Good job!

 

[Frank Booth]

We gained one rank. Avalanche is 7th. I expected to gain three, but we had a big drop in population and no one tried to bring it back. It happens. We just need to keep pushing. We will be 5th soon, but we need that little effort when the server drops in population.

 

[Frank Booth]

Well, i spoke too soon. We are ranked 6th as of now. In fact, we should reach rank 4 in the next day or so.

And with that the objective is achieved. What is not accomplished is having a full server until 1 or 2 AM on a regular basis. This was a learning process for me. Most importantly, we can rank up servers as we like, we only need a handful of people to coordinate and organize, to act at the right time. The tools are out there, and when used properly good things can be achieved.

 

[Frank Booth]

We have fallen behind. What we gain by day we lose by night. Still we are doing good. The problem is that another server might overtake us from behind.

Gametracker did not update well or something happened, but there is no #5 ranked server. So on the next update we should jump one spot at least, i was being optimistic about jumping to #4 since the current # 4 server was empty most of yesterday.

And i learned that if you obsess enough you can find drama in anything which should be helpful in writing.

 

[Frank Booth]

Finally we got some movement in the rankings. The #4 ranked server finally dropped to the 5th place, which was only a matter of time as it is empty a bit. The #5 server moved to 4th. We should have Avalanche 5th on the next update, maybe tomorrow night.

Keep hitting the dead time, down time and up time and keep it full.

I am going to start logging in at night for a few hours before I shut off my pc. I'm in AZ so I can be in during the dead time pretty well.

 

[LiQuiDSiLk]

i will try to do all I can. I will try to idle during those times if im asleep.

 

[J.Thompson]

I like it.... I'm usually on Avalanche whenever I play Dod and I think I could help with it.

I tried to stay in the other night it was just me for awhile, then frankbooth joined but for some reason i lost net connection during the night sometime.
Fail internet!

 

[Frank Booth]

Yea, it drops me sometimes as well. Don't know why.

I am still waiting for Gametracker to bump us to #5, which it is being weird with its tracking. Hopefully we drop to #5 soon.
