CC is not what it used to be

[Gillipig]

Well, you have played over 35,000 games. When I think of other activities I've enjoyed that equate to the time spent on 35,000 games, I think I've experienced similar doldrums.


--Andy

I agree. I think it is you HA that has changed, while CC has become 10 times what it once was at least.

Haha............you're joking right?

not even a little

Delusional people always cracks me up.

Its not a delusion, its just that the changes that you hate, the majority of us actually like. In fact, a few more people like you leave, and the place will be even better.

So you like that the foundry has become redundant, that we have fewer members, fewer updates and a site that has become less competitive compared to other none risk related gaming sites? Good for you, but I have a hard time looking at decline as something positive.

[macbone]

For a site that is so much better, 10 time by your opinion, explain why there is 25% less players active (aprox 15000 rather than 20000) and why there is about 40% less players playing at any given time. 1300 on avg from the past to about 750 now. You find about half the speed games you would have been able to find in the past.

I can see where you're coming from on this, HA. It seems nearly impossible to get a 6-player Speed Escalating game up these days, although I'm halfway around the world from NA, so maybe I'm just on at the wrong times.

Less members like you, yes. As far as more competitive...lmfao... hell, I owned(top rank) another site for six months myself....and that one at least is fun to play at, the rest are tragic. But, seriously, youve played so few games in your time here, arent even a premium, and your score is baseline bordering on pathetic so who do you think even cares what you think...especially about competitiveness

as I said...leave, it will be even better tomorrow.

I simply pointed out I think the place has grown 10 times since when I started, and Im overwhelmed at how awesome its become.
That's why I pay and play games and actually compete here, as well as another site or two....but none have the options or speed this place has, not even combined.

Obviously, this place is too tricky for you though, so really, for your own good, you should move on to one of those easier sites, Id say. Why are you torturing yourself, so?

[ZeekLTK]

While I love all the options, I think that does make it harder to be a community, because rather than everyone on the site being someone you might play against, people start to specialize and it narrows the field dramatically, making it feel like there are a lot less people than there really are.

Like myself, I love trench/no spoil games, it's practically all I play now. However, that means that I will NEVER end up playing against people that only play freestyle, or that only play normal/escalating, or... etc.

You factor this in for the number of different unique styles and it adds up to having a small player base for [one style] here, and another small player base for [another style] there, etc. and it feels like there are a lot less people.

[ZeekLTK]

For 25 American dollars Or the equivalent of a 1/4 tank of gasoline, I believe the site is a great value. I seriously doubt if anyone is getting tremendously wealthy from the income premium membership brings in.

WHAT? Where are you buying your gas? Because you're getting ripped off. It's generally about $40 to fill up an average car's tank of gas (from empty to full), so $25 would be about 2/3 a tank.

[shoop76]

I have changed and part of the problem is that I got bored with this site.

Most of the problem is that many players that were very good and basically my friends have left.

For a site that is so much better, 10 time by your opinion, explain why there is 25% less players active (aprox 15000 rather than 20000) and why there is about 40% less players playing at any given time. 1300 on avg from the past to about 750 now. You find about half the speed games you would have been able to find in the past.

Like I said, the old players--the more Risk type players from the past are leaving in groves. The new players are not staying as long. It is not what it used to be even though they have added many new features. I am not degrading the site itself--it is the players that make the site--and those players are not around as much--based on sheer numbers and my own personal experience.

Ok, HA, here's my honest impression regarding your loss if interest in the site. If I'm wrong, please correct me but I'm figuring since you don't seem to care much about the site anymore anyway, there's no reason not to be blunt. Maybe the disassociated viewpoint of an outside observer can shed a little more light on the subject, maybe not.
I think the reason you don't feel the same way is that all the people who thought it was impressive to go the whole quantity over quality route as far as games are concerned have left. The old group who gave you special attention merely for the fact that you've been here a long time have dwindled and nobody gives you the proper respect anymore. Am I getting warm at least?

I think HA's quality speaks for itself. Check out the tourney win's leaderboard, its not even close. Unfortunately in this game quality often doesn't reflect the symbol next to your name.

I buy my gas near Chicago and cost 100 American dollars to fill my Dodge van, I guess if u drive a scooter it would cost less.

This is what I like about CC though, total morrons like you are allowed to speak their minds. Being informed is evidently not your thing.
I've paid for three memberships, reached colonel without even trying to gain points (as is evident from the games I played when I reached it) and if you think 1700 games is few, you're about as good at judging how many games most people play on here, as Mitt Romney is at judging the average americans economy. (That's not really a compliment, in case you didn't know) You clearly have no logic to back up your claims. I'd tell you the same thing about you leaving would be a good thing, but it seems you've already removed yourself. Good riddance I say.

Hmm, with 35,000 games he could win tourneys just from sheer odds so I'm not sure about that reflection. Any stat you take from him as far at totals is concerned will be a distorted reflection. You need to talk about percentages to make any real judgments about this particular player.
This is exactly what I have been referring to.

I map ranked u on Poison Rome and u got a 76 percent win ratio of which sounds impressive till u see who u mostly played. U basically farmed new recuites and low rank shit players who have no clue how to play. Your win percent really dont mean shit to me. HA plays many maps and not just 3 like u do.

That's all fine and good but we aren't talking about me. I never mentioned my own win percentages since I don't really care(I thought it was much lower than that tbh), you did. I just start public games and whoever joins, joins. Back when I started playing that map and there were more players I did get more new recruits but then again, I wasn't very high rank back then. Nowadays I get a pretty mixed bag of opponents, just look at my current games. If you're going to compare me you should at least use the a similar method to what I am using for HA and talk about my total win percentage which is much lower than my percentage on my personal favorite map.
Btw, you're welcome to join the next one, GeneralRisk.

Lol, ok if you're going to have a baby fit about it I'll let you cool off. I'm not the one picking out particular maps etc, so I don't see why I would want to play your favorite map? I've got nothing to prove tbh.
