hmm, you are sure bent out of shape over something you flat out deny, hey? I don't recall a single instance I ever "threatened or harassed" you via pm's or wall posts. perhaps you have a record of these you'd like to share with the rest of the class, maybe? not really sure who you think I am brown-nosing, either. perhaps you could fill us in on that, too? as for my "playing & popularity", I'd say I'm average in both respects, but you are clearly a better player than I am, sure. and more popular, too : i wouldn't have dreamed I could have started a clan barely a month after joining the site, but somehow, you apparently managed this with ease. impressive stuff, to be sure. not sure why you think I would be the one made to stop posting as you are the one threatening to dox/hack me, no? pretty sure this is frowned upon, but not 100% sure on that.

[2dimes]

Decided I should edit out the parts speaking about being able to ddos and dox you with ease. I doubt you'd want your personal information leaked.

Who even threatens someone with that. Really childish, it's a Risk forum ffs. You need a punch in the face, told you're a bellend & sent to the nearest pub to sort yourself out. Can't even use the shit weather as an excuse for your behavior, it's fucking lovely out. Now stop being a cock.

Nice of you to stop by. I do apreciate your commitment to a quality over quantity approach though.

I've told you several times already that just because something isn't true doesn't mean it isn't annoying to be accused of it constantly. Can't you see that? I've told you before about harassing me. I left the PL once for it, I never delete wall comments and my PMs delete themselves regularly because I receive too many. You brown nose the f*ck outta KH and DF whenever they post in GD lol. I started a clan with a mate from work, all we basically did was play CC and we're both competitive people. Sure I threatened to have you dox'd. I still stand by that. You can either stop having a hard on for me or not, like I've already said that's up to you. I find it hard to believe you want all your private information all over the internet though. The only place I can talk on this fucking website without you causing shit is my clan's forum. Now it seems you're also spreading your bullshit to others via PM / in chat. You sure do have a massive hard on for me huh bub.

[riskllama]

wow, this is a rather ugly side of you...

[iAmCaffeine]

Yeah, but when you: post about me in the forums, the PL, have PM'd me, have posted on my wall, have joined my games, have spoken about me to other people via PM and in global chat. You knowingly harass me, it's obviously not gonna end nicely. I asked you to stop to begin with, then I told you to, now I'm threatening you.

Guess I'll just weigh in, think my opinion has some merit behind it.

Been around this site forever and a day, a good portion of it has been spent lurking around and seeing how some of my old buddies have been doing. Recently more active now because...Well, honestly Serbia and Saxi. How or why those two convinced me to be more active here, I'll never know. They might regret it, they might not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Back in 07, I joined this site with the intention of just having fun and playing this game, but being a nerdy little kid that I was and still like to think that I am, I started becoming a really active forum user. Shit, I've had so many good memories on this site. Flame wars, the uber mod drama, a really big community, Spamalot, those fun games with Koolbak and his crew and pissing off Glide. There were just so many personalities that made this site worth coming back to all the time. Even pieces of shit like Xtratabasco and Rhondalino (The self proclaimed Flame King), were funny to watch. The old feedback system was funnier than shit to when you could abuse it, now you're stuck with this weird system like you're grading 1st graders homework.
I became way less active on the game itself and was more in love with the forums really. This site was basically a downgraded version of 4Chan back in it's day. There was just so much content to sift through and there were plenty of subjects at the time to read about and have a good laugh, or people would just cause drama *coughwickedcough*. I really do miss those days of CC drama. Course afterwards, I joined the military and my activity plummeted to near nil, but I'd occasionally log in, say something snarky, read a few smart ass lines from other people and then disappear again for months to a year. Basically what I'm saying is, this site had one of the most creative forums back in it's time, but people left and with people leaving, others didn't feel any incentive to stay either. I think the main issue is, is that the forums is/was the main attraction. I haven't even scratched the surface of what made CC so damn awesome back then, but here it is.

Let's be honest about Risk and this site. Risk is a board game, the fact of the matter is, is that there's only so many ways that you can reinvent it to keep it fresh and creative. I applaud the folks in map foundry to making a crap ton of maps in the past 10 years, and I applaud the community with coming up with more settings on how to play the game. But the game itself is not going to hold a lot of peoples attention now a days. I mean, look at our competition. Xbox Live, PlayStation Live, MMO's, a plethora of other web based games that keep players active. Here it's "wait a day to a week and then make your one turn." People now a days, especially my generation and the younger generation are more into the action pack stuff (myself included). I only come on here now to kill time at work, or maybe an hour to play Mafia when I'm home...Or when I get drunk and want to be an ass.

I love this site, and I like a good portion of the community, but it's dead in comparison of what it use to be. I don't blame BigWam or whatever his name is, nor do I blame Lack, I blame peoples attention spans. Folks just got tired of coming here and spending their life on it.

I blame pc and those who grovel to those new ideas...I think its called progressive where men with hairy balls and disgusting self-esteem problems can call themselves a girl or animal or whatever they want so they can go into womens bathrooms to assault them. Or those that love the war machine....hows it working out for you???? you havent gotten your fill yet of murder have you???

or those that love big gobberment and schools and the injustice system...those that love evil and must push pc, lies, false news and promote censorship.

Were you ever assaulted in a bathroom? Do you personally know anyone that was (don't count the stories you read on a fake news site for this excercise please)? You excuse people of being stupid and mindless and believing anything, yet you are so unbelievably guilty of hypocrisy on that front. Please introduce us to all your friends that have been raped by teenage transexuals in school bathrooms. For you to repeat such a claim over and over the list must be massive.

Fact Check
Did Target's Stock 'Crash' Due to Its Transgender Bathroom Policy?
The big box retailer gave investors lower-than-expected forecasts due to increasing online sales, news that affected the company's stock price.

CLAIM:
Target's stock crashed because of its transgender bathroom policy.

RATING:
FALSE

ORIGIN:
On 28 February 2017, Breitbart.com reported that big box retailer Target’s stock had “crashed,” losing a combined total of $15 billion in investor wealth, because of the chain’s announcement in 2016 that it would allow transgender customers and employees to use bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity:

Target’s stock value is now down by 30 percent since it sparked a consumer boycott by embracing the transgender political agenda. That 30 percent drop has slashed investors’ wealth by roughly $15 billion.

On Tuesday, the stock fell to $58.78, down from its April 19 high of $83.98. In contrast, WalMart is up 3 percent since April, and Kohl’s is down less than one percent.

Company officials indirectly acknowledged the consumer boycott. “Our fourth-quarter results reflect the impact of rapidly changing consumer behavior, which drove very strong digital growth but unexpected softness in our stores,” Target CEO Brian Cornell said in a company statement. The company also admitted that it would likely continue to experience losses through the year.

On 19 April 2016, Target announced that transgender customers and employees were free to use the restroom that corresponded to their gender identity amid a national row on the subject during the 2016 election cycle. The announcement came after North Carolina enacted the controversial HB 2 in March 2016, a law that came to be colloquially termed the “bathroom bill,” and required public single-sex restrooms only be used by people of the corresponding biological sex. The controversy, and Target’s definitive stance, prompted conservative groups like the American Family Association (AFA) to launch a boycott. Nearly 1.5 million people have signed the AFA’s petition as of 1 March 2017.

Target shares did plunge on 28 February 2017, but it wasn’t due to its nearly year-old bathroom policy. The drop was due to 2017 guidance announced during an investor day event. Projections were far lower than expected by Wall Street analysts (the term “guidance” means projected earnings). The drop in Target stock corresponds to the announcement made at their investor event:

Source: Yahoo! Finance
According to Edward Jones analyst Brian Yarbough, Wall Street was expecting Target to project earnings of $5.30 per share, but the company instead gave guidance of $3.80 to $4.20 per share which was “well below” expectations, prompting the drop in share value.

You mean this...lol?

Hats off to Mookie for quoting Xtra, a guy that I have perma foed on here.
f*ck it I'll respond.

1. My balls are extra hairy. It's for when I T-bag terrorists, or people like you I see at the bar, they can taste the extra salt that marinated there for a few days. Showering is a thing in the past and I swim in my own filth.

2. My spirit animal is an Apache helicopter. What's yours?

3. Working wonderfully. Everyday I wake up, when I get a good whiff of sulfur and roasted skin, I can't help but think to myself "How many more orphanages do I have to blow to smithereens before the war is over?". It gets better too. It's legal and I get paid for it. Hope that makes you sleep easier knowing that an awful human being such as myself is still roaming the streets, drinking your beer.

4. The former, love it. The latter, you just described yourself.

Last time mets' graph was updated was January, but yeah.

Subject: CC has been declining

The graph has been updated with the data from July 2015 until now.

There's ups and downs, but on a longer time scale they turn out to be just dither. Overall the slope of the decline has been pretty constant since 2009.

uh, i thought when we last spoke of this we had agreed to disagree......
if you were going to completely ignore me, you wouldn't have replied just now. so i'll just assume you secretly enjoy thinking your posts have authority over my thoughts. (which they don't.) i mean i see your point, as useless as it is to me, but i like my point better than yours.

seriously, i thought we've already settled this.

can you put a marker on when the books got cooked

Ok, I added a few markers.

thank you sir. regardless of peoples opinions on the matter, it's still helpful to show what causes certain fluctuations on a graph. i mean why make a graph in the first place right? it's so you can observe data visually.
