Anyone still play?

I bought Orbz fairly recently, and whenenver I log on there seems to be a severe dearth of people actually playing.
Does anyone still play? At regular times? When?
Thanks,

It's rare that someone's not on. (Other than just now, when all the mappack servers were down.)

Yeah, so I've discovered. In case anyone recognises me, I'm "Chunky Kibbles" in-game [and pretty much everywhere else, actually :-)]Gary (-;

I mostly play late nite or early morning ~ but have been known to play Orbz at any time of the nite or day (hehe)
On the flip side ~ if you're playing solo & someone joins ~ hit 'ESC' button & choose lobby to abort game & let you join other player ~ most players will wait around a little bit but won't always wait for you to finish long games!
Once new at Orbz I joined a 'solo' game in 3rd of 15 rounds x 5 mins each (wow) ~ 'solo' wanted to chat WHILE playing but not end the game - 'solo' finished 3rd round & started 4th ~ not shy I said I wanted to play ~ not shy 'solo' said that I should watch & visit till game was over ~ I said I'd wait till round was over - still several mins away ~ but not till end of game - let's see 12 x 5 mins = 1 hour + ??? ~ what an earfull I got ~ in contrast to 'solos' self stated polite & sportmanlike demeanor - I was rude & selfish!!! (nice version) ~ DUH !!! ~ I only asked ~ since when does joining a game obligate a player (courtious or not) to obey whims & commands of host or to stay until they are dismissed ~ wondered what games 'solo' is used to playing? ~ well - better not go there?
SEE YOU THERE ~ AT ORBZ ~ FELLOW STAR SHOOTER !!!

If you don't see anyone ~ join a game & wait a few mins ~ go ahead & play/practice ~ if someone joins they'll let you know with a voice message like "fear my ninja powers" (my favorite lol) ~ likewise if joining a game with a solo player let them know - make some noise ~ even with many players it's nice to let them know you're there!I mostly play late nite or early morning ~ but have been known to play Orbz at any time of the nite or day (hehe)
