a 1v1 team game is a game that you would be able to set at 1v1, but when both players joins, it looks like a 2v2 where instead of each player starting w/ 1/3 of the territs each, they get 1/4, in 2 different colors, and it works just like doubles

oh ok, yes, I like that, thx

[hwhrhett]

how about all the clan updates that twill told us we would have a few years ago??

like the ability to make labeled clan games, and make games for clan challenges without joining them. when we were told we could no longer use tournament privileges for these things twill told us they would be coming in just a few months, and that we could live without them in that short period of time, which is now 2 years ongoing..... not that im expecting you to bang them out right now, but figured id bring it up again....

but definately FIX THE FREESTYLE LOOPHOLE!

[pimphawks70]

without a doubt freestyle loophole

[JOHNNYROCKET24]

Now that I'm back from a my summer vacation, it's time to get back to some heavy duty programming... but what should I code

I need your input - what major feature would you like to see next?

more medals so I dont have to hold out on my premium purchase again.....until someone secretly buys it again for me

[JOHNNYROCKET24]

And it is overdue, but there should be allowed a clan medal for the clan winning the season clan league as long as they participated in a minimum of required games such as 12 or 15 games. This clan league season only happens once per year and the field and competition overall is much for difficult than many tourney;s, so only fair to reward the clan that wins a medal.

It would be nice to see a few more medals, but to be fair, the clan thing should be worthy of at least a Community Achievement Medal?

From the lackattack-list at the top of this thread, the double-turns loophole would be my top pick, although there are other things NOT on the list that I would equally like to see implemented

community medal should start to be issued to non-mods and non-site workers.

Welcome back Lack. How was Shediac? The place has gone haywire while you were away.

I would like to see moderators that actually show moderation when enforcing the revamped rules, evenly and fairly and with transparency. As well as an examination in minute detail of recent bannings that seem heavy handed and unfair to many in this diverse and divided community.

Fix it so the new players dont get stuck with ridiculously low ratings, just because they are new. One bad rating can drop them down to 4.0, which really should be reserved for players that well...earn that low rating.

Even if you just soften the blow, by delaying the timing that the ratings take effect...it should allow a player to have a better rating when they do take effect, and also, not discourage them from staying. It really wont affect all of us, but I think in the long run, it may very well, keep a player or two around.

At the very least, it will correct a disparity of fairness. Im assuming this is a very easy fix, which is why I suggest it now. You must be sick of me mentioning it by now, so you might as well just shut me up...and help out the newbies

[Zombie73]

why dont you focus on the business aspect of your mods.

they are ruining your site.

bring back DM.

[Incandenza]

I think that there are three main areas that could use some serious turtle-love:

1. Clans. The whole CC clan experience is growing exponentially, and yet we still lack some really basic necessities, like game creation and labelling privileges for clan leaders (or at the very least, for jp and marval, special dispensations aside), to say nothing of the whole OTIS thing. But a few small changes would make clan challenges and leagues ever so much easier to run.

2. Site mechanics. Really, the freestyle loophole has to go, and should have been fixed long ago. This won't be the first time that a deep flaw in freestyle has had to be fixed. And as long as there are identifiable flaws/loopholes in freestyle, it will continue to be a stigmatized game setting.

3. Gameplay. It's been ages since CC had a new gameplay feature, and while random maps are all well and good, they remain something of a novelty. Infected neutrals also sound cool, but again they seem like more of a novelty than anything approaching a killer app. However, team 1v1 games would, IMHO, give the site a major shot in the arm. I recall the heady days when 1v1 games were first introduced, and game creation took off like an ICBM. While team 1v1s may not be quite as popular, they would certainly fill a huge niche and would become very popular.

I would like to see practise games, for if you want to play a new map, without the risk of losing points. Maybe this is the way to remove noob farming... By only letting them play in games where people can't take their points...

Good to see you return from the wilderness, Lack.

Freestyle Double Turns
Priority No.1 is to fix the Freestyle Double Turn timer loophole. The Eliminate Freestyle Double Turns thread has grown quite a bit while you've been away, I believe a simple solution can be found in this post way down near the end of the pages:
Subject: Eliminate Freestyle Double Turns

How about having an automatic "End Reinforcement" action occur just prior to time running out.
For perpetrators who practice this type of rule breaking, this "tactic" (as it's been incoorectly labeled) would then be rendered null and void.
The rules specifically state that if you're the last one to take a turn in the round then you can't be the one to play first in the next round.
This is a clear vio;ation of the rule.

This is a bug in need of extermination.

Basically the premise is to have the game tally up who has NOT ended their turn as the clock runs out on the round and set them on turn delay as if they had ended their turn normally by clicking 'End Reinforcements'. So either they wait until half the round passes of someone else begins which unlocks them to have their turn. This will work wonders with Casual Freestyle while having minimal impact on Speed Freestyle.


Designated Account Sitters
This would spare clan members the risk of losing control of their accounts to some malicious and unscrupulous individual because of sharing their password with a bad egg. Example that's spring to mind are the recent freezing of Neoteny's account in lieu of account sitter abuse, also the not too easily forgotten havoc wreaked by benjis_widow(Subject: benjis_widow - account abuse [banned]). All this chaos can be avoided in future with designated account sitters and I along with my members won't be so nervous when we give out our password to someone else, I'm certain that almost all the other clans feel exactly the same way.


More Battle Royales!
YES PLEASE! I don't think we had any when we passed 5,000,000 games. If we did then they weren't announced in a public enough fashion.

[ahunda]

1v1 team games, hands down.

[lord voldemort]

blitz hit the nail on the head i think..
medals is a massive buzz...and sounds like a relatively simple thing to do..in comparasin to fixing freestyle loophole etc. the ground work is already there..(medal ideas platinum diamond, flat rate, esc etc etc) so i think that should be done soon...its a big attraction to alot of people who get bored of the game to game life...
next freestyle has to be fixed...how im sure someone knows...
everything else seems like a luxury...cm, designated sitters, brs..altough cool to had but prioity i think is medals/freestyle then the rest
more battle royals are always fun..just no flat rate..game 1 mil lol

[Master Fenrir]

Attack details. For some reason, I've always found those really interesting to look over on similar sites.
