One China Scoreboard

[Agent 86]

As an Aussie sitting on the fence, I'm going to enjoy every minute of the game. Good luck to all who fight for their honor!!

I see that Mr C gets the first turn..going to be interesting

Alright, let's get things under control here.
If you want to turn this into a suggestion about creating regional scoreboards then stay on that topic. If not then this will be closed.

Was this directed at me? The game being played is exactly on topic for the China scoreboard or don't the members have any say? Don't be one of those fun police spiesr, closing this would not do you any favors.

We all know how many suggestions have been implemented, this one will probably never happen as well.

My suggestion is for you to stay away and let DoomYoshi handle this

I would love for this to lead to an amalgamated Asian scoreboard though - that would be something worthwhile - but each country (and Special Administrative Region of course) retains its own standard.

On what basis are you going to close this topic?

1. My first suggestion that Hong Kong players should be part of the China scoreboard is a completely legitimate suggestion.

2. Writing about the political background to that would seem to me to be both educational as well as perfectly reasonable, or are the views of that nationality not allowed to be represented here? Writing it in a way that chinese people would find subversively amusing (rather like how the english might write about Ireland or Scotland) should also be fine. It is context to the suggestion.

2. Challenging Cof to defend Hong Kong's honour 'is the kind of thing we do on site based on conquest'.

3. My goal is to publicise the case for larger region, or even continental scoreboards. I've chosen to focus on creating a greater-china scoreboard, which is my right, but the eventual goal of this thread is clear...and was clear from the very first post.

hear hear

If these Chinese chuckleheads agree to the outcome of the match then I don't see a reason not to go with whatever is agreed.

[DoomYoshi]

Trying to play us off each other will get you nowhere. In any case, spiesr wasn't threatening a lock for past transgressions. If there were past transgressions, the thread would be locked, no threat required. The warning was for potential future transgressions.

I am interested to see where this game goes

[maxfaraday]

I say let's set up a quads game with the PACK against the Chinese.
Let's see who eats who.
The winner will then decide.

Aye- if this suggestion is that Taiwan be considered part of China by the site, it should be in off topics. If it's now simply following a game, then maybe GD.

You should know the Chinese will eat anything. You lose

Symmetry - ever thought of setting up your own web site where you can administer to your heart's content?

As you haven't filled out the form, I can't consider that as a legitimate suggestion.

[Mr Changsha]

Much as I josh, the China Scoreboard has never been healthier. I can remember being very lonely on there.. +800 points on no.2 back in 2009/2010.

So ten or so solid players is a great improvement. I quite like being top of the China scoreboard (I admit it!), and these days I had better stay on my toes if I want to keep it.

Hong Kong game update:

Delicately balanced, both sides throwing UP and all to play for.

i would like to see a seperate scoreboard for Nepal.. lets get it done

[maxfaraday]

Let us not forget Tibet.

Or Bhutan.

Nice to see some friendly rivalry going!

But Changsha, until HK, China, and Taiwan unite their three different Olympic teams, and citizens of each of those three distinct political entities are allowed free movement across their borders, it doesn't really make sense to combine the three into one scoreboard, or even to lump the HKSAR in with mainland China.

True, Taiwan is viewed by the UN as part of China, but Taiwan asserts its own independence (though these days not quite as loudly), and it's a member of the WTO. When the US sends its surplus jets to Taiwan, is it in fact sending them to the People's Liberation Army? Hong Kong residents aren't allowed to join the PLA, either. I think the HK and China scoreboards are active enough to stand on their own without necessitating a combination of the two.

And Nepal totally has its own scoreboard, seeing as how it is a recognized nation in its own right. Tibet, though, is firmly in the hands of China, and that's not going to change any time soon.

Regional scoreboards would be groovy, though.

[perchorin]

How about a socreboard for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere? That would surely be best for everyone!

This pretty much nails it. I think that it might be better for the site to not have tiny country competitions. Nevertheless, it would be a major insult to what Taiwan has managed to accomplished as an entity, to lump it in under China's flag. As hilarious as the rivalry is, I can't in good conscience pass this along.

Hong Kong is obviously still part of China, though, so I wouldn't object if anyone wanted to lump those two.

Continental categories sounds key.

Or have regional ones, e.g.

East Asia
Oceania
South Asia (India, Bangla., Pakistan, Sri Lanka)
Central Asia (Kaz, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, AFG)
Middle East (from Turkey and Iran all the way Morocco--reunify the Old Empire, I say).
---if not then North Africa, and sub-Saharan Africa
Europe (don't really care how you contentious chaps divide yourselves)
North America.
Central Am
South Am

[Mr Changsha]

I say divide the CC scoreboard into various clickable options:

1. NATO (the good guys), Warsaw Pact (the bad guys), The rest (where the hell is...?)

2. Continental

3. Democratic, Under One-Party Rule, Lawless

4. By dominant religions...

5. Areas gays can legally copulate, areas gays really, really can't.

6. 1st World, 2nd World, 3rd World...

7. English-speaking, Non-english speaking..

8. British Empire, French Empire, Dutch Empire etc (1918)

9. By national average life expectancy (78+, 75+ 72+ etc)

10. Sovereign nations, colonies...

If CC had put half as much effort into improving its scoreboard as it has producing streams of derivative maps, then we wouldn't have seen such a horrendous drop in membership over the past few years. Is it any coincidence that we have seen membership fall as the number of maps has increased, while the scoreboard has seen almost no improvement at all?

I don't think so.

Cc would benefit greatly from a player being able to say "I am the number 23 sequential player in the muslim world" or, and can't we all but dream of it, how about being the best Risk player in a country where gays happen to be tormented for the enjoyment of splashing fluids on other people with similar fluids?

I think at this point, the scoreboards are starting to sound like a funhouse.

[agentcom]

Mr. Changsha, it might be a better idea for you to ask the various Chinese, Taiwanese, etc. players if they prefer/don't care/don't want this change. It doesn't affect 99% of the players here. You see there are only 10 serious players, so if you can get 10 prefers/don't cares and no don't wants, I will pop this into [Submitted] regardless of the result of this poll.

So my current plan of challenging the leader of the Hong Kong faction to a one-off dubs on the Hong Kong map to determine sovereignty, is not the official, or the correct, way of going about this?

This may be one of my favorite posts ever in Suggestions. I lol'd

Sorry Sym, but this one was pretty good, too

And that pretty much describes what's going on here.

[Symmetry]

Meh I found the wording odd. What is the poster's relationship with China? Surely they don't administer him?

As noted in the help section (question 6): https://www.conquerclub.com/eticket/index.php

And previously in this suggestion: viewtopic.php?f=704&t=164852

CC has no control over the flags that are shown. So, rejected. Sorry Mr. C.
