Total number of players and faction numbers

We knew going into B7 that we would be in the smallest ( except for civvies) faction. We did expect around 130, 150 people, but my impression was that the whole Milo's Tigers faction was less than 100 players.. Maybe 90.

Talking with a BE cremember that drove us to the bus, i got the impression that the problem was very widespread, and a lot of people that payed for tickets weren't there.

So, anyone who has some solid info about total numbers of players (especially BC when they can spare the time to check the "check-in figures)
in each faction, please share

Well, we will give you exact numbers when we find the time to count. What I do know is that Milos got 12+1 tents (12 tent20 and 1 medical tent). so if each tent hosted at least 10 people you should be around 120 people...

EDIT: I remember your CO (Oberlix) demanded 2 additional tent20:s, so that adds up to a total of 140-150 people... if that count is to high you lived in luxury or the general milo's tiger is either a gear junkie or a fatty ;)

SRP had 125 Finns and about 50 players from other countries. So alltogether around 175 players.

ORC started with 350ish when I checked with the crew during the game...

Luxury? lol, our tent was set on a 20 degere slope, with bushes and small tres growing in it. we had to walk 150 meters downhill to get water or go to the toilet, and our "shower" was actuall a water box, a hose and a sink.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining, but just using luxury in the same contexst as milo's camp is hilarious!! We were laughing so hard when we met our friends in nato and they were COMPLAINING they had to wait in que for the BOUTIQUE and the SHOWERS!!

back on track.. i'm pretty sure most if not all tents had way less than 10 people in them.. i know of one with just 5..

According to our in-game interview with Obelix, he claimed that the numbers were approximently like this:
Milos: ~120 people.
SRP and ORC: Each fraction had twice the amount of players as Milos.
NATO: ~600 people.

I heard we had only 450 or so in NATO? And many people didn't show up, including Coy-commanders?

I wanted to say thanks for enhancing our gameplay with those reporter trips. You look was perfect, you even had official Liburania press badges, i thought it was awesome.

I was the commander at the roadblock when you 2 guys came, for reference.

Did you have any "evil" thought s btw? gathering intel, kidnaping or anything like it? I suspected you were there to take pcture of our camp number plate, but couldn't leave the post to escort you personally. Other than that i got no impression of you wanting to do harm.

on-topic:
i know for sure NATO had less than 500 people, GM told me this.

ALOT of people didn't show up, i guess lucky for us that they still payed their ticket, so BE can still get a profit and make B8 next year.

About the off-topic part of your post: He has written a lot about that, and has unknowingly already answered your questions, just check the other threads. ;-)

Rhyn0: No, we didn't have any evil agenda. Everybody expected us to have one, so we didn't plan anything evil. :) We where always the most guarded persons inside any base. Orolovs didn't even let us get any interview, because they were to suspicious about our agenda.

Rhyn0: The ones you shouldve worried about was me and Pagan. We planned to go around in bases, selling bandages and handing out water in our roles as Doctors Without Borders. However, we felt we didnt have the proper things for it, and the story took a twist in an unexpected direction, which meant we geared up and went around in the guntruck instead. Otherwise, WE wouldve gathered intel and the likes. :wink:
