Sunday was crazy with new players, over a two hour span I must have seen 20 names. Here's a game where we had 11 players at once:

Not sure where they all came from or why they were playing that day but I think I'll clear space for next Sunday afternoon just in case :)
Yes, I noticed it being busy on our servers, on that Sunday and that weekend also.
