So, now we need to think if this is because the players are better, or because playing Maso is the only way to get anywhere in the metaverse? For myself, I'm wondering where's my gigantic/maso...
Reply #7 from Stardock Forums Top
Myself I like to play the game right now, not the Metaverse, I have slow down a little bit just to enjoy the events and the anomalies that I have created and other created by other players, it is nice to see them in action, if you enjoy mods check the www.cdgroup.org website I have some mods posted there that are not in the library and they adda different twist to the game.

Where is my maso/gigantic
End of quote


Harel, my guess would be that you submitted it after I gathered the stats that morning. You game is in my database. I collect data twice a day - at 6AM and 6 PM CST. Probably just missed you. :notsure:

Most games have been submitted recently because
1)some people want to have points in the metaverse and since the XPack is out, maso is the way to go;
2)the strategies to beat maso have been discussed a lot, so it is easier to do it today than it used to be, despite the game being harder (no more money taken from the alexians etc.).

Point (2) comes along with the fact that players become better and better and want to play a higher challenge.

To double-check accuracy, you may want to look at the "Difficulties levels revealed" sticky thread by Gerraken to round up the maso players. Like Maxtipherous, I couldn't find my maso games in your thread either.
Reply #14 from Stardock Forums Top
Ric, thanks I will look at his again. I don't see any Gigantic/maso games on your profile, so that is why your name wouldn't be listed.

I also have to be careful to remind people that I only farm the top 25 empires and top 100 unaffiliated players right now. For the most part it has been quite reliable, but is possible that when pulling up a profile to harvest, the web page chokes and gives me nothing.

I apologize. I didn't see this thread was only *gigantic* maso. I just submitted one but had none at the time you started the thread. Doh!!!

I am interested in the trend in increased frequency of all sized maso games after 1.1 was released. It appears the number of maso players has tripled or more since 1.1 came out.

ricbayer -
for what it's worth, for me it was just timing. I was starting to get the hang of maxing out the score when 1.1 came out, and with some help from y'all admirals I have begun to succeed.

There have been a total of 311 Maso games submitted since the release of the x-pack from members of the top 25 empires and top 100 unaffiliated players.

I have broken down the frequency of maso games by galaxy size for each week since the release of the x-pack.

It's interesting how you can see lots of people trying tiny/maso, then moving up to small and medium, then slowing down again in general once the initial masoverse furor was past.

It's interesting to see that Medium and Huge are the less played.
