Multiplayer Participation

[Mr Logic]

This evening I had cause to attempt to indulge in a nefarious and often unreliable pastime colloquially referred to as 'online play'.

Unfortunately throughout the entire aborted exercise, lasting upwards of twenty minutes' total duration, I noted that a grand total of twelve people across the globe were of similar mind and/or inclination.

This observation occured at 1.00am British Summer Time (BST), consequently at a time at which the easternmost regions of the American Continent could be considered as being at their most active as regards their propensity to indulge in such activities via the 'world wide web'..

Could any members of this forum offer any plausible hypothesis/hypotheses as to the possible reason/s for this evident lack of global interest?

I trust that all responses to this query will be polite in tone and substantive in content, as is appropriate for reliable analysis of collective opinion.
