The moment you Paypal that $20 to Conquest Club, it's gone. If you don't get what you want, you can complain about it, but it won't do you any good. Unlike Ebay or AOL, Conquest Club is not dealing in material goods, is not dealing in services in the legal sense of the word, is not a company, and, in fact, can be selling you hocus-pocus rings that claim to make you live forever and still won't get into any trouble. The most that will happen is that the site will be known for a scam and people will stop falling for it, enough so that the owner is forced to shut it down or lose money for keeping it up.
There should be no concern about "putting power in the hands of a few" because all the power is in lackattack's hands to begin with. Who owns the domain name? Who pays for the servers and all its upgrades? Who spends countless hours scripting the game and patrolling the forums?
The guy's making a living off of this, so he's interested in keeping it an enjoyable experience for everyone. It doesn't say anywhere that he has to be nice about it, or that he has to allow community input at all. He could be making more money by splaying a few ads and totally ignoring the community. He doesn't even have to have a forum! He has these features, however, because he seems to genuinely care about the well-being of the core community, and not only for the profit margin. And indirectly, he's also getting stuff back, in the form of regulars, new maps, and a volunteer staff - things he could not accomplish by being indifferent.

What else can I do to promote cheating?
In other words, what else should I be doing to ensure the complete destruction of CC?
Granted, bringing back Dug would be a good first step, but surely there must be some other way I can help in this worthwhile cause.
I join in your outrage that the site mods have not stood idly by and watched everything they've worked for be perverted before their eyes.
I fear what CC will turn into without Dug as a role model.
Where will the innovative ideas that keep this an exciting site come from now?
Bribe a player to throw a game. Organize a series of fraudulent games to give points away to his friends.
These are ideas worthy of a genius. I worry that without Dug here, these innovations might never have seen the light of day...
... and we would all be the poorer for that.
Un-ban Dug immediately; a mind is a terrible thing to waste!!!!

Personally, I think the unbanning of Dug would not cause enough damage, but the immediate upgrade to MOD would complete the job much better. In the age of "all is forgiven and here's a lollipop too" to proven cheaters (CC criminals, if you don't mind), it would only be RIGHT for lackattack to commit CC into the hands of the local anarchist heirarchy (see hendy for example) out of complete goodwill and to show that he has a heart of compassion and is willing to give the benefit of the doubt to those that so rightfully deserve to be pardoned... even if they NEVER ask to be forgiven.Punishment for wrong is so outdated.

Give me a fucking break, dugcarr is fortunate to not be exiled permanently. If what, me worry? is so upset about the actions taken by this site against dug I recommend a boycott or better yet, protest by holding your breath until he is reinstated. You won't be missed and this community will be fine without you.
w,mw? and dug should take all the time and money invested in Conquer Club and start their own gamesite were members can cheat and be as subversive as they want. Anarchy.com is probably taken so maybe Gump.com will have to do, since stupid is as stupid does.
don't go away mad, just go away
never tried to. I was simply stating that I didn't agree with his punishment...You can't refute that what Dug did was wrong.
never said it was justified, just that I personally understood what could motivate him to do this...Your reasoning is bizarre: Dug didn't like the scoring system so it justified everything he did.
yes to you it may seem so, but in all actuality it becomes more complex when you insert a ranking system...Dug wanted to play Blitz, but Blitz didn't want to play Dug. Well guess what happens in that situation: they don't play, it's really that simple.
this logic completely nullifies the point of having ranks... a substitute for your logic would be a win loss record instead.You seem to think that Dug had a right to play anyone he wanted to. That's simply not the way it works. He didn't have that right. I don't have that right. You don't have that right. No one on the site has that right. I think that's what's known as freedom of association. At this site we aren't forced to associate with anyone we don't want to, we aren't forced to play with anyone we don't want to.
when did I say he violated any rules? I could have, but I don't remember saying that... The only things that would or could make me think less of blitz is how he avoids playing people who call him out and fishes for feedback. Although I don't blame him one bit for avoiding standard games with people who call him out.I know you're not much on argumentation, but would you care to take a shot by explaining what Blitz has done to violate any rules? I'll make it even easier for you: would you care to explain what Blitz has done that is remotely unsportsmanlike. The very worst things I've ever heard anyone accuse Blitz of is being proud of his score ranking, seeking recognition for his accomplishment, and wanting people to like him. Exactly how does this harm anyone else on this site?
I like to exercise by swimming in a pool. Salt water isn't really my thing plus the beaches are just too cold where I live...You have the freedom of speech to say anything you want to. You can say black is white. I have the right to laugh at your saying that. And since I have the same freedom of speech that you enjoy, I have the right to challenge your statement. I've just exercised my right.

Hey rev. BTW, I like your quote from Hendy. But honestly, I would have to say that this one is a tiny bit better......what,me worry? wrote:the only thing im jealous about rev, is that Hendy gets to refill your moms water bowl instead of me.

Well, you all seam to believe Dug did not do the same. My guess is he had 10 times as many on his ignore list. I suspect he was very much afraid of losing points. He put players that he was afraid to lose against on ignore list. My guess is that Blitz put dug on ignore list because he was (to be nice) not a pleasant guy.

DUG WAS NOT SCARED OF ANY1 DAV. BLITZ WAS SCARED OF DUG. DUG CHALLENGED BLITZ 24/7
