It appears to me that HS has more posts than any other zone on ssforum, just in case you didn't realize that. Although pop may be down at times, there should be a way to leverage this forum to get people playing. The fact that more people post here I believe means that they are interested in playing, but can't for whatever reason be playing all the time, which is un fortunate, so since they can't play (eg. work, school, pop so low its not worth playing) there should be some way to entice people to play when pop is low. I am suggesting that if there was a way (some way that is not all that easy but does not involve large amounts of other people) to make money when the zone is empty, then more people would play then. Furthermore, if more people are playing at those times, then they will be more likely to play when the zone is full too. I would say something like powerball but make so people can make money even when noone else is playing. I'm suggesting this not just so that one person can get more money, but theoretically everyone else will not be so willing to let that one person make more money than them and they will have to join in the game to stop them. I realize this means that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer but noone else seems too concerned about that, besides, when the rich get too rich they just reset if they want to have fun. *end of post*
