What is going on? (blocks)

[Bones2484]

I have to say that hulmey, if you do decide to leave CC, i for one will miss you terribly....

your a moron

Irony at its finest.

[Deadly intent]

to the best of my knowledge its the unscrupulous players who already retain a high rank
you say Hulmey.....

Wow,now there is a first....you & i actually agreeing on something

Yet another account that maxatstuy sits. He seems to have a never ending account base.
This whole account sitting rule needs to be looked into. Players should be limited to sitting a max' of 3 or 4 accounts. I do not care if he uses his own account or Tom, Dick or Simon's. I never want to play against maxatstuy.
Good Luck with the E-Ticket. I understand they are still opening Tickets from December last year.

you cant, your not a new recruit

[lancehoch]

NOT AN OFFICIAL POSITION:
I just want to disagree with the point about speed games.

Overview
Each player always gets 24 hours to take his turn. This means you only need to play once a day, but games progress quicker if players take their turns more often. If a player misses a turn, he forfeits his turn for that round, however he will still get credited with the troops that are due to him.

Here there is no mention of speed games and 5 min turns. Does that mean that I always have 24 hours to take my turns in a speed game? No. Just because the babysitting rule was written in terms of the standard turn time, does not mean that it must be strictly applied to the time written. If the rule says you can only get a babysitter if you will be gone for 24 hours, then it would seem that the implication is: you can only get a babysitter for a standard game if you will be gone for more than 24 hours OR for a speed game if you will be gone for more than 5 min. Again, that is my personal interpretation, not site policy.

[BaldAdonis]

hahaha, that is very funny because both the mods and administrators disagree with you. It is allowed and it is condoned.

That's what SkyT and co. claimed, and then the rules were made more explicit. You are breaking the rules: it's a gross abuse of the game, for all of the above reasons. As soon as CC gets their act together, they'll close up this loop hole, and hopefully the other ones you use to get points, cause you're certainly not getting them through skill (I've never seen such embarrassing play as yours on Waterloo, I thought you must've been a new recruit lanyards knew from school).

max sitting in for a speed game, is not breaking the rules! Mods have cleared me and block has been lifted, so lets moveeeeeee on soldier

ROFL...I think the moron believes I play on waterloo...its funny because I have never even started an 8-player. None of the accounts I have babysat for overlap and there is no benefit for me playing for other peoples' accounts. However, if there is something which you know and I dont about me babysitting being a gross abuse of the game, please share.

Jeff, KOE is referring to the 4 man game I finished up for fantasianasian several months ago where I beat KOE. It was a lot of fun too

oh, and Twill, if there is something I am doing against the rules, please tell me what it is.

if it was "technically" ok

then it is unfair to expect anyone to know, or follow, rules which dont exist.

[FabledIntegral]

Everyone's using this "oh max is such a high rank etc. its unfair for him to take over and play for a major when he's a field marshall etc."

I'd just like to note, concerning speed games, I would doubt he would be much higher than a major/colonel in the types of games he babysat for. Just a personal observation.

[OliverFA]

Yes it may well be in the rules guys but never has a rule been so open to abuse.
Take what Mr Chansha said earlier for example....put simply....

1/ A player joins CC & say makes the rank of cadet
2/ Starts a rake of Speed games,whether they be all at once or over a period of time
3/ in these games he has to leave at some point & asks a friend to play on for him
4/ This friend is a much higher rank & a far better player than the cadet & his oponents
5/ This player then goes on & wins these speed games
6/ The cadet is now a serg 1st class or higher!!

Surely you can see (even if it is allowed in rules), that this is very open to abuse and at the very least should have some form of proper guidlines attatched.
Personally i think the rule sucks & can very easily be taken advantage of to improve rank.
Yes if a player has to miss a few turns it is ok for a player to babysit,but to take over in a speed game for almost the entire game till the end!!....Thats crap man & leaves the door open for untold abuse

Sorry I disagree. So being a better player is now called "abuse"?

So, what if a player skill improves to a point higher than what his rank says, I suppose we can call it also abuse. Or if he tries some new maps that cause him to get down in ranks but then comes back to the old well known maps in which he performs much higher than his current rank... is that also abuse?

I don’t see why you disagree. If a player joins a game against a captain, He expects to play a captain. If a higher rank takes over, it makes a joke of the whole ranking system. Our points are distributed according to score for score ratio. Max is a far higher rank then Hulmey.If someone was to beat Hulmey they would get less points then beating Max.
This may cause precedence for abuse. The whole system is open to players jumping in and out of games with whatever username they please to sit.

hahaha, so the abuse was about my rank? In that case I am perfectly fine with calling it abuse. Thank you all for admitting that my skill far surpasses that of everyone of the 21,713 active users who are currently on the scoreboard.

The only assumption you are creating is that rank is a direct proportion to skill, so in those two days where Prankcall's girlfriend went on his account and deranked him, you are saying that Prank lost his skill, and his ability to play went down. According to you, the form of gaining ones points or losing them has no factor on their skill and because someone has a high rank, they are therefore good at every type of game they play. While I would have to say that is true in my case because I am the second best player on every setting on conquerclub (:? ) that logic is ridiculous and moronic to say the least. Furthermore, that is saying that your comment in another thread, where it was brought up that I played for fantasianasian in a 4 player game against you, is illogical because I was the same rank as fanta when I played for him so you expected to play for a brigadier and ended up playing for a brigadier. The rules have to restriction on rank difference and calling it abuse because the second highest ranked player decides to babysit for other players is senseless. In a thread where a low rank person posted looking for someone to babysit while he was away for the weekend, sjnap stepped up and offered his services and as a result was commended by not only other players, but mods as well. Who I play for is of no factor or consequence to it being called abuse. I only play out of necessity and that is the only factor that should be taken into consideration when determining whether it is abuse. If I gave my account to alangary to watch, it may be my attempt to derank, but it would it is should not be restricted because of his low score as it is my decision to let him play for me and just because he has an extremely low score, it doesnt make him any less competent a player.

its funny because you just attempted to tell hulmey off in another thread for not reading the context in which something was said...you were wrong in you comments to him and it looks like you forgot to take your own misguided advice in this thread as well. Good job

if you read KOE's post, you would know that he was saying that the reason for the admins accusations of me abusing others accounts was because I was babysitting for them and have a high rank. There is nothing against the rules with having a field marshal baby sit ANYONES account as long as there is no tactical advantage (a.k.a. being the babysitters opponents in any of their games together.) Since I never play for anyone who I am playing against and only played out of necessity, there was no tactical advantage, leaving no reason for the block.

Clearly you are incapable of reading others posts to know that my comment is henceforth stating that if my rank is the only reason for the block, I can accept that, as it is clearly a bs reason which has no rational justification.

What a wonderful example of the disordered nature of a teenage mind. There are words I will grant you and even sentences I will allow, but there is almost a complete lack of self-awareness. The thought processes are terribly muddled, the jumping between quite contradictory concepts at times disturbing, but what holds it all together is that burning need to get acceptance from one's peers.

These threads are the consequence of a player who has determined that their true value is based on a number on a scoreboard. As the number is a very high one, it should naturally follow that the player should be valued very highly indeed. That he is not is obviously confusing the player, hence these attempts at self-justification.

If the player played some real games on his own account and stopped using other's accounts to simulate competition he would quickly notice he was afforded more respect. A 16 year old who could (for instance) hold a colonel rank without farming would certainly be respected and his obvious intelligence noted, but the same 16 year old, who doesn't seem to have played a proper game in months is not going to be respected much, no matter how many points he has gained.

you seem to be making the assumption that I have asked for anyone's respect which I have not. I was responding to a post which referenced rank to be the determining factor as to whether a person is abusing his account sitting privileges. My rank should have no effect on the rules and I was stating that it was unjust that it should.

Having taken health class however, I will let you know that the term "self awareness" has absolutely nothing to do with my interpretations on the importance of my rank. In your first paragraph you state that my thought process was muddled while you found issue with the words I used, until you can create a coherant paragraph that is logical and which is pertaining to the topic, which in this case happens to be "What is going on? (blocks)" I suggest you dont speak until you have something of consequence to say.

self-actualization: The ability to seek the highest and most idealistic state that can leaf to a person's fullest possible development.

self-efficacy: A persons believe that he or she is capable of accomplishing a task or series of tasks under certain conditions.

self-esteem: How a person views himself or herself.

Ah, that cleared everything up. Your behavior has nothing to do with why lot's of peple are blocked from playing each other. Glad we got that straight.

I am also seriously concerned I have a gap in my education! If only I hadn't spent my time thinking about sex during health class...

Absolutely correct, the more he tries to act like an adult the more he comes across as a rather confused little kid
