At least two companies claiming to represent over 150 player "signatures" each have only thirty accounts enlisted via Company Tool and in the case of one of those companies, over a third of those accounts were created and volunteered on the same day and never active again. I think it is telling that the most recent signature (a really good friend of mine who I love and respect) only reported a third of his muster roll (probably a generous accounting of his actual active numbers); and yet some companies that I have never seen online, who have 30 on the muster roll, report they represent 100+ people? Not trying to name and shame anyone or derail the thread, but I guess my point is... what is the advantage bumping the thread to report an arbitrary, and patently absurd, number?
