I feel like having people who frequent the channel is a good thing, whether they are there 100% of the time or not. You totally neglected the fact that i said they idle there, meaning the room isn't empty all the time, AND they come on and play. I JUST TOLD YOU, there is activity. In the form of games pretty much daily. Lol. So, yeah.. I don't think he's trying to brag so much as get everyone together in one place.
Far and away, there are more people who come onto the IRC and chat and play than spark. otherwise i'd be on spark all the time. However when my chat line has been the talk of the town on spark for the last 2 weeks, i am compelled to come to IRC where i know i can get a game. =P
I can tell you don't like leviathan, and i know why, but geez guy, why don't you come and play with us instead of having forum battles. >.>
