[quote="_Anshin_"][quote="ChocolateThunder"]I appreciate the help. I seem to play during the heavy 'con coverage times of the day so I'll do what I can to cover you as well.

LOL so you play at any point in time during the day or night?

I have been doing the math and while on paper the bots outnumber the cons, this is really only true at level zero.
Looking at [url=http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar/high_summary.php]The Summary Page[/url]

We have the following numbers 
Bots = Autobots
Cons = Decepticons
B2C = Bots to Cons Ratio
C2B = Cons to Bots Ratio

Lvl_____Bots____Cons____Total____B2C_____C2B
0_______734_____478_____1212____60.56%__39.44%
1_______433_____372_____805_____53.79%__46.21%
2_______279_____246_____525_____53.14%__46.86%
3_______142_____236_____378_____37.57%__62.43%
4_______67______87______154_____43.51%__56.49%
5_______30______45______75______40.00%__60.00%
6_______35______16______51______68.63%__31.37%
7_______13______6_______19______68.42%__31.58%
8_______2_______5_______7_______28.57%__71.43%

The numbers are pretty even.
Throwing out Level 0 (since level 0 can not participate in high cross level missions), we end up with 1001 Bots and 1013 cons.  If we take the upper limit assumption and assume that all commanders have a team of 12 we end up with 
Bots: 84 commanders (83 and one with a team of 4)
Cons: 85 commanders (84 and one with a team of 4)
If we did any of the other limit factors (IE Teams of only 6 or Teams of only 3 or as the limit approaches 12 from 1) you will find that they only outnumber us by one or two commanders, yet they dominate in the missions.

This can be seen further if you look at the levels we control. As you can see from the data posted here we Control Level 0,6,7.  They control the numbers for 3,4,5,8.  Levels 1 and 2 are pretty even since you can throw out inconsistent players and variables such as new levels or old levels showing.

The problem that we have is that we have a ton of people that log in and just throw their bots into the arena and then leave.  When ever I notice huge numbers in favor of cons (IE 3 missions listed, and all of the missions have numbers such as 0/3, 0/5, 1/10) I check the arena.  During the day and at night I always see the same bots sitting in the Arenas.  If we could get them out and participating in the missions the mission battles would favor us more.  I rarely ever see cons sitting in the arena.  There is only a selection of two cons that I see that put their cons in the arena, and that is typically when Revenge of Starscream is out playing and has his high level bots dominating the missions.

By the way, check out the main forum.  The mods are running some pretty awesome games right now.  Even if you play for two matches a day you can win some awesome prizes and get your name out there for the Cons to learn to fear.  Right now I am doing my best to hunt down the mods as well.  Sustain and Psychout are eluding me.  I can get Sustain down, but somebody other takes the killing blow or she evades the next 45 attacks.  I don't think I am in Psychout's range, but the moment I am his head will be mine.  Burn's been pretty cool about throwing his bots in to beat mine up.  Right now I think the guy has a 2 or 3 point lead on kills, but some of those are just because of the whole situation you are experiencing with bots being outnumbered.  Thats why I am trying to form a support group of bots.  Even if I have to keep a team behind to help the 0s, 1s, and 2s to level up.  If you find you run out of energon feel free to hit me up for a donation and if I have any armor / weapons you may need let me know and I will try to sell them back so you can use them.[/quote]
