New Years Resolution: Newbie Farming is not Cool.

[GrimReaper.]

haza finally!!!!!!!!! hooray!!!!!!!!!!!

[pimphawks70]

good job.

[BaldAdonis]

It's about damn time. I mean, how long were you going to let that madness continue? It's an outrage I tell ya! Darn farmers, all they care about is points points points...

Somebody give this guy a reset already.

[kmhebert]

Totally agree with the spirit of the rule. However, the enforcement will be the challenge. To avoid subjective judgments, there should be some published standards as to what constitutes farming and what the resulting sanctions will be.

Kudos on the concept, good luck with the implementation.

This is what I am worried about. I play a ton of games against cooks and new recruits etc, why not? It's fun. I actually seek out HIGH ranked players to try and get THEIR points. Is that "farming"? Heh what is up with this?

[Gypsys Kiss]

Seeing as the title of the thread is Newbie Farming is not Cool it doesnt include map specialisation, unless, of course, you do it with ?'s.

Until there is a thread entitled 'map specialisation farming is not cool' you should be okay.

Mind you I only got this from reading the first post......I could be wrong

TOUCHDOWN

[jpcloet]

Should add this to the rules page.

[GENERAL STONEHAM]

There are way too may over-ranked pussies out there in C.C. Land. Most of these gender-confused assholes play together on teams. Why? Because they can rely on most of these newbies to either deadbeat or fail, due to their lack of knowledge of the game they're playing.

Look at all the Doubles, Triples and so on games where you have all these high rank players, play on the same team, who prey on these newbies. Obviously, these sewer dwellers are more concerned about their precious points and won't RISK it by playing others of the same rank.

It's about time we either stop this practice OR find a new point system that hurt those who constantly play inexperienced players or teams.

[BadMoonRising]

So I guess clobber will have his balls cut off now, as small as they are.

I think the new system will be fine. There is a difference between joining a game with a ? or cook from time to time and one who habitually fishes for them.

[MK 1]

it's about time they get punished!

[JuliusCaesar]

well you should just ban Klobber now, that is all he does.

lately I only been playing 1v1 city mogal seq/chained/no spoils/fog/casual.

I don't think a ? has ever joined those settings, and I assume you blocked the new recruits from joining city mogal anyways.

[jpcloet]

What ever happened to the functional group that was supposed to divide the maps into:

Easy
Medium
Hard
Complex

???

[Night Strike]

Should add this to the rules page.

It will be once lack has time...he's still on vacation and only pops in from time to time.

And to the others, please keep the flames out of this thread.

DEATH TO ALL THE NOOB FARMERS ........BWAAAAAHHHAAAAHHAAAHHAAAAA

[Bruceswar]

Placing bets on the farmer to get a reset?? Congrats on this!

[MyTurnToWin]

[Natali]

I totally support it! Bravo!

So.. How much research was actually done on this subject? (Or did the "research" amount to 20 to 30 regulars everyday screaming "farmers farmers kill them ban them they ruin teh siiiteeeeee!" until the admin couldn't take it anymore..

1 - If somebody sent me a personal message minutes after I joined this site, asking me if I wanted to play a game, I would have thought "wow, this looks like a friendly place."

2 - Would I have gotten my ass kicked? Yes, actually my first game I did get my ass kicked, and I'm pretty positive that stands for about 99%(at least) of all the players that join CC. Regardless of who they played.

3 - If there was research done on farming etc, new players, the like, is it available to the'community'? Can I read it, andwas any information compiled on freestyle team farming, uh I mean games. Freestyle team games, I said farming, I meant games.

Investigations regarding serious farming tactics were conducted, which lead us to the gross abuse. Research of hard numbers was done by lack, the results of which were the limiting of maps and settings where New Recruits were often targetted by Farmers/difficult first play settings. Lack may release his hard numbers at a later date, after some reevaluation and additional time.

It doesn't matter... Lack runs the Site, and when in his house it's his rules.

I never "newbie farmed" but was never against it... but if it's now an official rule then it's all the same as multis, secret diplomacy, etc., whether someone agrees or not THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.

[Iron Butterfly]

Rules don't apply to farmers dontcha know.

There just plain unfair in their fun little world.

[kmhebert]

Heh I don't see the problem with it, newbie farming that is. They have to win now and then right? That would seem to level the playing field somewhat. I know I lose to cooks now and then. But whatever.

so you think playing with players you can trust should be against the rules?

we high ranked players dont play with other high ranked players because they are high ranked, we do it because we know they are good players and wont mess up

if a field marshall wasnt very good i wouldnt play on his team even though he has a good rank and if you were as good as, for example, karelpietertje or King_Herpes then id play with you too, no matter what your rank

and when we play together we make 90% of our games so anyone can join
