Trying to figure out which side to play for Turk III. MMMM who wants me on their side?

Clan side, if the previous fuckups are any indication. There will be more IS than Clans, so Clans will be almost instant drops.

Like Tarl said.

You can get a guesstimate of population under the faction play tab.

Using the left-side menu tabs, select "Contracts: Mercenary"

It will give you a breakdown of the percentage of population in each faction.

Clanners are at 44% currently. They're only that high because Clan Wolf technically has 14% of the game's population. Davion's at 13%, for reference, with Liao and Marik at 7% each (go there if you're IS merc). Who's active, and who's capable among those who are active, is probably best referenced on the leaderboard.

Naturally, consult the numbers yourself in the game client before making a contract decision. Good luck!

I would ask you to join house-marik.com but really clans is the best place to go for rewards and fast games but we have space bacon.

Personally I wouldn't trust those % stats enough to bet anything on any of them even if offered One thousand Dollars for every dollar I bet. Those % stats include people who havent played in 2 years/ have stopped playing over the last 2 years, and theirs a fkn lot of them.

Incorrect.

The % counts inactive player accounts, of which there are 1,000's upon 1,000's.

Then it also counts units that are "aligned" with a faction but never actually play the mode, 10,000+ there.

So the population indicator is actually so inaccurate it's not funny. PGI should only count those with 100 games or more per season, under population. If they did this, the % would be accurate.

instead of pop by whos aligned they should base pop on the number of people who played last phase in said faction.

as for op, and all questioning, if you think you need a big unit to carry you, go clan. if you want to either carry or be around equally skilled guys, then IS is for you. that simple.

How is this even a question. If you have the option you should of course always play clans. Clans have superior technology and have won every single one of these events, no reason to expect anything different this time. Everyone is already talking about how screwed they are if they accepted a contract to IS recently, and all the people are running to the op clan side so that they can get double the rewards that the loosers get on the IS side. Nothing has changed since the last time they did this so clans will stomp again.
