CC's 10 BEST PLAYERS IN THEIR 20's

by **Robinette** on Sun Mar 20, 2011 4:28 pm

All I am saying is that it's hard to find someone in their 20's that is really good at this game...

I've been here a very long time, and my research tell me that there are only 11 such 20 somethings here right now...
I should mention that I have found 34 players in their 30's that would qualify, which isn't too bad...

But, disturbingly, there are over 200 in their 40's and beyond,,, 130 of which are in their 50's and 60's, and another 13 even higher...

Well let me tell you something... Being just 28, I simply cannot relate to those folks.
We just don't have much in common, and we really don't understand each other...

Believe me, I've tried.. But most of them have partners, and aren't very active in the single's scene...

Are YOU an above average 20 something?

I don't know. What is the average?

lol, with applied intelligence, you could have figured out that answer yourself in less than a minute...
So how does that saying go? Oh yeah.. "If you have to ask,,,,,,"

But here is the answer to your question...
Of the 11 i have found, the average, as measured in points, is 3,032
While the median is 2,905.

Interesting, because the median of all CC's best, including those in their 50's and beyond, is only 2,827

Colonel at 19? Is that a world record?

It seems like as you've gone up 9, you've gotten dumber. I feel like that doesn't make sense.

no, that was back when i cared about my rating, and didn't miss turns and play maps i'd never seen before, like i do now. lol

my favorite risk-related achievement is still winning the first game on the largest map (hive). i'm just hoping they don't make a bigger map!

So here's my list...

Are YOU an above average 20 something?
Do you think you should be on my list?
If you answered YES to both those questions, then please post...
if i determine that you really are, i'll add you to the list,
So that fame and fortune can follow you everywhere!

But if you are in the teens, I'm probably not interested unless you are REALLY exceptional...
it is very hard to fathom someone in their teens being good enough to be on this short list...
but if you really think that describes YOU, then please post...

Same here. And the dice seem to have some sort of grudge with me, hence why I haven't played a game in months.

HUGE Changes in my list of the most intelligent 20 somethings here at CC...

I have found FIVE players to ADD to this list,

meanwhile, there were 5 that had to be dropped.
3 are off the mark, GoonSquadCaptain turned 30, and Haggis_McMutton seems to have gone AWOL.

Special congrats to CC's most recently discovered

Therecanonlybe1 from the Netherlands

D3A7H from the USA, and only 18

blkvanquish from Canada

VikingIII from Norway

bonjovifan, also from Canada

If you know any of these exceptional players, drop them a line and congratulate them...

I think that you should make a new list... Cal it "CC's hottest female players under 30". Be sure and include pics.

I aspire to one day be on this list. I'll be 21 next month... and I'm slowly but surely rising in rank.

Not quite sure what it exactly takes to make it to the top, but I've had my share of excellent wins, and gimme another three months and i'll be in the top 300.

Sorry, but you are 31 and not 21. Just a bit too high for this list!
