HI, I'm here very random times, but would like to work on my diplomacy as well as my strategies. Do I have to show up at certain times or is it flexible like the site itself? If so, I'd appreciate some lessons. Used to play all-nighters in the dorms at Penn State (early 1970's) with 6 guys per game and 3 or more watching at times. I would win 4 out of 6 games, but I get my butt trounced rather regularly on this site. I always played as a loner back then (I thought making alliances or ganging up was somehow impure) and just hung back quietly 'til I built up slowly and dominated. However, everybody here is already on the next level and diplomacy is clearly intrinsic to the game (see my post...

As far as diplomacy goes, I haven't seen very much, but I haven't been here too long, either. Playing at CC is a little different from playing the board game. Continent bonuses are much less important, and the focus is generally on position and cards. But sure, we'd love to have you train. We're flexible. =)

I have been playing since January 06, I joined the XiGamers group because they NEVER allie. Then they started Terminator and it is almost all I play --- No reason for anyone ever to alli in terminator.
But remember there are alliances out there, My main philosophy is "there Can Only Be ONE"
