In 2005 200 players made it to the yearly "endlist"
But the number of players decreased every year.
In 2009 the list was only 129 players long.... and thats a bad sign.
I personally play not much anymore but the Stratego fire will never die in my heart.
I hope the old school players like Leto, Playa1, Aeolus, Misiu, Esquire etc will make their return once. _________________ ... there is nothing more to say, is it? |

hi wussy,
yes i agree, but maybe there is also another reason. we are better each year with double
and tripple nicks.
at the beginning a lot had several nicks and sometimes we need a little longer
to catch them.
but of course some stopped playing, i think for several reasons.
other hobbies - familie - job - to much losses... but for sure some will return, maybe not like
they did in "old days" but as you mentioned: the fire never dies.
and there is always time for a game from time to time.
but good to see, that the live tournyes still grow last time. a long way till we reach
the best years, but we are on the way.

I think its a game that the Chinese would be good at, perhaps it could somehow be promoted better to the Asian market? |

Wow, that's an awesome walk down memory lane. Look at GB in 2006, a 1403 player to an over 1700 player now. What an improvement! |

Hi everyone, a long time i didn't talk with you
I always added this site on my toolbar, i still love coming and play some games but not as the old time. Before it was more "serious" and now when i'm playing, i can't find this way to play as before :-/
There will always be stratego players, and i hope there will always be a website where we, all stratego lovers would come and play some interesting games.
When i look the today's ranking, i can see that a lot of "old" players have left this site or this game ...

I've tried it several times since I have a contact to the asian world, mainly to China. Your idea is very good and I had already thought of it. But the people there are workaholics and do not play like the people in the west
thx and much fun

I understand that, however I lived in China for a year and I know that a lot of young people/students spend hours and hours playing online games, even through the night you go to a net bar and its full of people playing games until the sun comes up. I dont know how these people find time to sleep and then work/study. Perhaps they are not all workaholics? Also many young people spend hours every day playing sport, which is a bit different but shows they do have some free time.
Chinese people are generally very good at puzzles and maths and things like that too, so there could be a tie-in with Stratego from that side of things that would suit them too. |
