Originally it was the opportunity to play a game like Risk online. Then what kept bringing me back were:
-Live Chat/Social: interesting mix of yack, joking around and new online acquaintances
-Scoreboard: figured out the algorythm and pushed to see how high I could go
-the "rush": of taking the risk of how long will it be before I lose another 60-100 pts to get only 4-6
-Live Chat PM's: chance to talk to people more in depth -- without the noise of Social
-pulling scams: using Live Chat PM's to pull practical jokes -- hey, all in fun, not nasty
-new friends: people like dazerazer, Merch313, lanyards, NoSurvivors, loes, apey, ImissSCca, etc.
-Clan team games: not only competitive games, but learning strategies, teaming, fun talk
-verbal debates: getting disgusted by some Forum thread posts; seeing the anger, and sparring with them -- but replying more comically compared to 30-50 overly negative people
-quieting flame/bait/troll offenders: using the CC rules to help CC minimize the over-negativity
-overall, trying to help CC Admin foster the "friends around the campfire having fun" atmosphere
. . .and always looking for other good reasons to keep coming back
