and it just seems that most of the intelligent fellas out here in CC land are in their 40's, 50's and beyond...

But this list is to note the best under 30 players here at CC...
And being that this is my 5th year here, I think I am well qualified to determine who they are...
So here's my current list...

The 10 BEST CC PLAYERS under 30...
as of April 15, 2012

67 Robinette 3204 678 191 (28%) Brigadier 9 5.0 United States

73 Stbtgal 3181 2883 686 (24%) Brigadier 22 4.9 United States

108 astompel 2945 896 260 (29%) Colonel 14 4.9 United States

121 gas 2892 2203 598 (27%) Colonel 30 4.8 Greece

129 100023690 2868 2213 516 (23%) Colonel 18 4.9 Spain

131 Therecanonlybe1 2867 2094 442 (21%) Colonel 13 4.8 Netherlands

149 pickleofdoom 2808 1996 563 (28%) Colonel 20 4.9 United Kingdom

192 blockhead15 2741 5581 1307 (23%) Colonel 42 4.8 United States

199 Chuckisanidiot 2725 1393 349 (25%) Colonel 13 4.8 France

242 adolf_frogler 2650 1655 473 (29%) Colonel 13 4.8 Ireland

Are YOU an above average 20 something?
Do you think you should be on my list?
If you answered YES to both those questions, then please post...
if i determine that you really are, i'll add you to the list,
So that fame and fortune can follow you everywhere!

But if you are in the teens, I'm probably not interested unless you are REALLY exceptional...
it is very hard to fathom someone in their teens being good enough to be on this short list...
but if you really think that describes YOU, then please post...
__________________________________________________________________________

A couple things to note on this list...

6 of the 10 are from Europe, led by gas in Greece.
The UK is finally represented again now that the pickleofdoom has returned home.
The other 4 are from the USA.
oh, and watch out, the top 2 on the list are Ball Busterz

how about we make it under 31 instead, so I can fit in the list?

- PENIS!

Well, for players in their 30's, there is now a list for that (30 to 39)
So when you get a chance, you can check out who the BEST CC PLAYERS are in their 30's...

It would need to be 56 or under for you to fit on the list, and if the list went to 56 you might not make the cut.

How would that work? This is a factual ranking, not an opinion ranking.

Well the title of the topic is most intelligent 20 somethings.. not best ranked, intelligence cannot be measured, and Robinette should not be the only judge in any case.

robinette presumably thinks she's more intelligent than us... i know the feeling... you're statistically more intelligent than most people, so why not assume you're more intelligent than the people in this thread?

unfortunately i can confirm with near certainty that you're wrong about that, robin.

Definition of INTELLIGENCE

a (1) : the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations : reason; also : the skilled use of reason (2) : the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria

It seems to me that i am using the word correctly.
But it is not my intention to debate this detail,
Therefore, in order to keep this on topic,
and to the intended point,
i have changed the headline to CC's BEST 20 somethings...

Change it to highest ranked to avoid any confusion? Putting in percentiles somewhere would probably help more tho

I think that we ought to have a CC's best minor's or something like that...

You are more than free to start your own thread based on ages.

Nope. I could be a genius and could understand how to make the most points and all but care not to apply my knowledge. Also, dedication and effort could beat intelligence here in getting more points.

I think working on the trust system would be alright, I'm -1 if you check my profile.

Worst title change on history of site. This is like the change to classic shapes, but worse.

Oh sure, what a convenient way to feel as good as those that actually do things...
By this reckoning, no accomplishments are worth mentioning then...
Why I could be a billionaire right now, but i don't want to apply myself.
Why I could be the fastest olympic runner, but i do not care to work out and train...

There is just no satisfying you, So forget it...
It's my thread, and I'm changing the title back.

This is not a list for the "Genius's", it's not for the "highest potential" players, nor is it for the highest IQ players...
This is for the MOST INTELLIGENT...

with INTELLIGENCE defined as the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria

DEAL WITH IT

so you're basically saying GLG is the most intelligent person on this site? :shock:

wow. regardless how you wish to define intelligent my thoughts are best expressed by the following image:

PS: it's geniuses not genius's

PPS: a few fun facts:
1. (Robinette's intelligence)*1.6 = (GLG's intelligence)... really?
2. bad dice make you dumb, good ones make you more intelligent
3. winning a BR may transform you from an imbecile to a genius
4. get sick and miss your turns and you might find yourself in the awkward position of being labelled an idiot.
