whats the diff between 2 multis and 3? Big diff if my dad and I want to play a quick game......

I do not view CC as a place to cringe from cheaters but a place to maximize our enjoyment while dealing with douchebags the best we can......and learning wacicha's enchantment dances so I too can love the dice......

2 player game? That seems like paradise for cheaters. All games end up 2 player near the end. :wink:

Repeat: whats the difference between cheating in 2 person or 3 person????????? The fact that you get LESS points?????

Anyway, Twill....hoping for a response so I can delete the original post...many thanks-

I prefer to cheat in a 6-player game .... you get the most points that way. :lol:

your dad =-= hell wit that 1 on 1 would be a great teaching tool... Course i don't know how many others work with the newer players to bring their killer instinct up. but i do hey kool hold those kards for me another turn

thats a good idea...u can do more real time games that way....i would play them..a mod would be nice on those games..just in case there are multis thinking it would be a easy way to gain points. from there other multis.

Lets say I am a multi. I set 2 player games and play with myself (hey this is PG). I keep doing that until I am rated #1. There is no 3rd party to see this "easy way to the top".

I often help the newbs too wacicha, I play them all the time and when they make mistakes such as attacking their partner, I make sure and tell them you are not supposed to do that.

i sit in on their other games and discuss stratgy on their turns they mostly don't make a turn until we discuss it then they decide what would be best! Gives me something to do while waiting in my 60 games waiting for a turn

[sarcasm] Jay....thanks for spelling it out for me [/sarcasm].

REPEAT AGAIN: If you are a multi (multi means > 1, not 2), you can just as easily set up THREE OR MORE accounts and be doing that RIGHT NOW and get there faster as you get to take points from 2, 3, 4 or 5 players (as my darling wicked points out above).

WHATS THE DIFF????????????????????????????????????????

Wacicha....I would love to play you in 2 person.....as originally pointed out and confirmed above, realtime games would be much easier....this is about the play, not the points.

I'm definitely for this option!! Cheaters are going to cheat...until we catch them...if nothing else...this will give us an easy way to pick out cheaters! I want realtime and this would make it much easier!!

What, am I talking to myself? 2 player game won't work. If you want a real-time game set one up. How hard can it be...lets see Tuesday June 6, 2006 at 6:00pm EST hmmmm sign up and play!

If someone sets up a 6 player game and plays solo to get points...first off they have no life. A two player game would be quicker. But go ahead make a 2 player option ...you just won't see me in any.

Oh if you want a real-time game buy Risk. I'd like to see this game revamped to play like Axis & Allies myself.

I don't know jay =-= you got a major a couple of sargents and lt's i think a capt to saying they would like this they been around awhile they would know what they like and you do not know how many realtime hames i have joined about 30 and only one really ended up being real time and most of those in that game have posted in this post. So it might work for some of us old dogs(refering to Koolbak AND mysely as old cahoots not you)!!

no one said u had to play....just theres alot of other people that would...i have no life so i would like a realtime game i dont have to set up 1-2-5 days in advance....and if me and someone else would like to play right then and now we can. and not wait for the 5 days to pass befor someone act. signs up for it....by then im over it....SO I THINK IT SHOULD HAPPEN..

GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!

I love the idea. I wondered why there wasnt any when i first joined CC. I think it is about time for it to happen.

sorry for being slow on the reply guys...

on the cheating side of it, most multis who use a system like this to boost their score will usually have only 2 accounts and team up on a 3rd, higher ranked player...you can only get so many points once you milk your alt down to 700 points. So on the cheating side of things, it's not THAT big of a change, but of course, would make it more tempting to create an alt...to put it in anti-drug-activist, it would be a gateway game, drawing unsuspecting newbies into the seedy underbelly that is multi-dom and then having them branch out once they already have them, then having us bust them for the bottom-dwelling scum that they are (no disprespect intended...of course ;) )

As for coding, I dont see why this would be a problem except for other priorities which are on the to-do list right now. Lack would have to code the random neutral player, but that probably wouldnt be too hard, (but I can't speack Lack's coding time) but would just be something else to get in the way of other things which might be more useful.

aaaaaaaaand, this should have gone in the suggestion forum probably, as that's what it really is once you get down to it ;)

so, in other words, it's a resounding "maybe" :D
Might I suggest starting a poll in the suggestion board seeing how many people would want this/think it's a bad idea.

If we deprive ourselves of 2 player games because it will propagate cheating in Conquer club, then the cheaters win. THEY WIN!!!!
