[OliverFA]

It's 12,944 now. Will we see 13,000 again?

i'm relatively new here but i really like this site. i'm a long time risk player, though i haven't played in quite a while, and there are no other sites that come close to this one. if this site is in decline i'll bet the competitors are really flagging.

So sayeth the horse and buggy producer, circa 1920s.

I signed up just last week and I love the site. I've referred any of my friends who I've played Risk with in the past. I bought premium because 4 games wasn't enough for me.

I also on occasion post on a Civilization message board. Been there since 2001 and every-single-year since then, that site has had a thread like this. As long as you have a vibrant community, as you seem to have here, you'll do fine.

Otherwise I agree with Apple. Do something to bring in new players, because some players invariably leave. But I don't think the site is struggling if you have 12-13k players really.

Thanks Armandolas.

If I have anything else to say, it's that this site needs better promoting if you want more players. I've been a big Risk fan since childhood, and I would have very gladly signed up for a site like this yeaaars ago if I had ever heard of it. What brought me here was watching RealityGameMasters. I moved to the Philippines not long ago and its impossible to get a game going here, so I thought "There has to be a way online!"

I ran into a blog post, and it brought me here. If whoever's promoting this site could find a way to reach more people, I'm sure it'll bring in more people as well.

I think this is very true. I looked for this kind of site for awhile, and the google just didn't ever give me this site. I looked for a few days every now and then just wanting to play, and one of my friends just happened to already be playing here. It needs to be easier to find.

Wow, back up to 13,062.

Please change the thread title to "Is CC Ascending?"

[Bruceswar]

CC biggest rival has hit a huge huge snag. I think that people will start jumping ship quick and moving to CC or other places.

Could this be a reason for the spike? CC still offers a huge amount of fun for a small fee. Hell you can barely buy a few gallons of gas now with $25.00

[Qwert]

nahh, this its only summer increase, when summer off ,then decline will continue.

Summer has always been the slowest time for CC in general. Winter time is when CC spikes up.


13066 going up still

Hopefully this trend continues, for 2 reasons.

1. It's great for the site and my enjoyment of said site.
2. Gillipig will finally have no reason to visit and can just go away.

if someone say who are biggest rival of CC, do he get ban?

[Crazyirishman]

I really doubt someone can get banned just for mentioning the name or a rival site. I know landgrab has been mentioned many times throughout the years but other than that, I don't know any of the other notable competitors.

on a side note, I think qwert and gillipig are a little sad they don't get to take place the CC doomsday count down of this anymore.

No, qwert, this is not Animal Farm... Mention away. In fact, I think there was quite a discussion of this just a few pages back in this thread.

CC is constantly changing, evolving (Just like the rest of the universe...).
If this change is positive or negative is simply a matter of subjective opinion.
Some trends, like speed games, have seemingly declined a lot, where as others, such as the clan scene seems to be growing and growing.
Ofc you could look at the actual membership number, total, or premium. Or you could look at how much said members are contributing, etc etc.

My suggestion to anyone who wants to play more team games is join one of CC's 50ish clans for guaranteed satisfaction of your team-game appitite.
Speed games? No easy fix there, but whining sure won't help. PMing old speed addicts, banding together, trying to promote some get togethers at certain times in Call-outs etc, might help. Imagination is required. Good luck. I'll try and stop by the speed scene on weekends, see if I can donate some points to the 8p esc speed fund (just don't complain when my sweep grinds to a halt and you aint next to play )
Amusement aside, less talk more action. I'll throw up an 8p esc tomarrow noon CET.

[Butters1919]

I regret to say, but the recent incline is likely a bit bogus. It would appear that the site slotted many New Recruits into the Havoc Boards tourney. Since the games have started, they are now "active users" even though many of them have not logged into the site for years.
