Rasputine has committed a taboo act of noticing the obvious!
And will now feel the wrath of all the butt-kissing shills.
I figured out what happened a little while back:
After BigWham bought this place, they allowed unqualified Admin to prance around willy-nilly.
The admins opened the flood gates to a bunch of former Reddit moderator wimps w/extremely delicate brains and decided it was a very intelligent idea to let them make up their own rules on the fly, while bending rules already in place.
....in essence, delegating childish wannabe hall-monitors w/strong censorious habits.
The chosen behavior of numerous mods has driven away a TON of former players. CC doesn't just rely on enjoyable map design and game-play dynamics. Like anywhere else that involves the combination of sportsmanship & camaraderie, it also needs fair game-play functioning and a non-interventionist, non-censorship, non-authoritarian, 1st amendment empowered social atmosphere.
#1.) Enter the corrupt dice algorithm which in previous posts [that i did not bookmark] was explained quite well for why it is insufficient. *it doesn't contain all possible combination patterns*.
#2.) Enter the childish liberal NPC mods (
not all of you).
#3.) disregard rampant multi-account abusers because they collectively pay so much toward memberships [the culprits get some sort of personal arousal by getting away with abusing the rules, and Admins shrug their shoulders]. Then - years later when undeniable accumulation of evidence spills over, let out a sigh and say "oh well, it wasn't as obvious as earlier".
....so when you employ the phone zombie hall-monitors from liberal shit-holes like Reddit - whom start getting verklempt + clutch their pearls if you trigger their psycho emotions by saying something they sporadically disagree with - you end up with a toxic dump that drives away anyone with a normal functioning brain. The game-play isn't worth the time since any concerns that pop up, or casual personal opinions, are rail-roaded in the CC forums where free speech goes to die. And all your sleek strategic moves in the game are bulldozed by impractically shitty dice.
CC admin sit on this place for passive income. Like parasites. alllllllll the sleepless work over many years ago from die-hard Risk lovers, carving out awesome maps, and now the remaining owners lounge here feeding off the residual efforts from good maps/tournaments.
THAT SAID: there's a couple of very noteworthy and intrepid ppl
on here keeping the passion going, like the absolute champs that they are. CC owes you guys everything really.
100% confirmation for me was the past
2 years....
Last august i replied to a post from that moronic fluoride guzzling, vax booster-loving Biden voter,
Gary Denton. I logged in like 2 days later and some Moderator on here named '
TeeGee' not only edited my post for
"flame" (LOOOOOOL
), but
manipulated 2 sentences by adding words that i
never said.
Unreal eh? These mods flounce around hither-tither and do drive-by editing to puts words in players' mouths. Straight up.
Cherry on the cake was they actually banned me from accessing the forum or inbox for 7 days.
....ANNNND there is hardly ANY recourse for finding out what the hell happened to you when they slap an unwarranted ban on you. Your msg goes to some special inbox that only the bully who banned you can see. its mental.
"Flame" is a completely fake term made up by weak-minded sissies who are more delicate than a hormonal confused drag queen in downtown Seattle.
Its really really sad what has happened here. but reckless self-destruction is what liberal NPCs do best.
CC will crumble into sawdust and go out with a whimper. Site Admin/Mods gradually iced out all the loyal ppl who wanted to continue onward with successive improvements. Everyone should be saving hi-Res copies of all the maps they love. I give tremendous thanks to the incredible coders and map architects from seasons' past; they blessed us with so much fun that we didn't quite end up deserving.

Imagine making a non-bullying, non-disruptive, playful smack-talk post, to find that not only have you been randomly banned, but a fragile moderator thought they had the right to
edit your words and INSERT/ADD their own words to your post.
Then blocked you from re-editing your post to correct it to what it originally said. Thus leaving it held hostage in limbo while all future readers get the wrong impression because someone else messed with it.
Even Gary Denton himself was like
"...ummm wow, edited for 'flame'? never seen that before".
lol
i'm gonna have to screen-shot this post too in case these devious turd blossoms have a random mental prolapse and try to screw with it. I hope this helps others to understand why serious complaints are so often cast-aside and dismissed
If anyone wants to measure the IQ temp around here, you need only plow through the past 3-5 years of posts mostly in the non-CC related section to see that this place is dumping ground for irrational lefties who don't understand how to comprehend reality. Everything is an 'attack', everything is 'offensive', and they are always somehow a victim. Now just imagine the breadth of forum white-washing exerted to suppress opposing voices and you start to see the bigger picture. Exactly the same as Reddit.
