Exactly what MY issue with all this is. By all means, allow only members to CREATE speed games, but to block free players from joining them COMPLETELY?? If you look back over the suggestions threads to where the ideas of speed games were suggested or developed, you'll see a majority of those for it being f2p anyway (considering the majority of CC accounts are f2p), so is it such a shock that i'm a little annoyed that the hosts are using this as another money-making technique after it was plain it was so desired by all?

You just dont seem to grasp the fact that freebies who do not upgrade are worthless in terms of the future viability of this site, if an increasing number dont contribute then it will stagnate. It makes no sense whatsoever to offer an extra incentive NOT to become a member, pay up ,shut up or push off is my advice .

But by even still by making cc a better experience is an incentive to pay the $20 and play any amount of games.

That's fine... can I send you my $20 money order and you can paypal my membership payment? I refuse to get paypal because of past experience with them and the fact that they ripped me off for $400 and froze my account because one of my ebay buyers ripped a pile of people off and they thought we were connected in some way because he bought a pile of stuff from me... It's garbage. If they opened other pay methods beyond paypal. I would already be a member...

Speed games, as well as Conquerclub in general, rock. Nicely done.

I would like to add my congratulations to all the work gone into the updates, and speed games are HUGE and AWESOME. We had a deadbeat the other night, (gave me the game thank goodness), but the deadbeat meant a maximum wait of 15 minutes. GREAT

Well done all involved

Hi. I think that new members should be kicked out of a game after one turn miss, or if that's too strict, then two misses, and then after having completed one game, or once they've managed to take three turns without missing a turn or something, then they are given the right to miss two turns like everyone else.
