HOW TO FIX major flaw in conseption of CC.

[Night Strike]

Porkenbeans, if you want to get this option some attention, you're going to have to change your approach drastically. Here's how you do it:

1) Change the thread title. You need a title that actually deals with what you're trying to propose and not immediately attacking this site.

2) Drop the multi argument. We've established that this idea is not going to replace the current system, so stop posting like it will. Focusing on the multi comment will NEVER get this idea developed.

3) Restructure your first post. Include the premise of your suggestion and how you want it to be another game finding option. Type it in a coherent manner that is easy to get a grasp of on first read though. It really helps to follow the form that was given when you first clicked "New Topic" to start this thread. For a refresher, copy what's below:

Code: Select all

[b]Concise description:[/b]
[list]
[*]xxxxxxx
[/list]

[b]Specifics:[/b]
[list]
[*]xxxxxxx
[/list]

[b]This will improve the following aspects of the site:[/b]
[list]
[*]xxxxxxx (you can obviously delete this for bug reports)
[*]xxxxxxx
[/list]

4) Finally, start listening to the opinions of everybody who posts. Making it mandatory for the entire site will hurt far too many areas, so start taking those criticisms and find a way to make them a positive. Example: This opens up the possibility for more tournament ideas by providing a site-supported random map/opponent option.

EDIT: If you need some help with this, ask in either this thread or via a PM.

the form is french to me. but to address your point #4, i have indeed listened to all, you were in fact the one that came up w/ the idea of making it an option. (brilliant by the way) so that takes care of the manditory part. if others would read thread, i wouldnt have to keep going over this. my purposfully provocitive topic has worked to wring out a solution. (thanks to you). maybe you can help me again and show what to do next. i have been accused of being a genius, but never when it comes to computers. lol. if i restructure and pm you a copy would you be willing to go over it ? i think that you just might be the comp. savy guy to get this off the ground.

I am by no means a computer savy guy; I just know more about how things work around here than you do. If you want to rewrite your ideas, send me a PM and I'll see how I can help.

(Before you read this, remember that this is not an official statement of the site, just my personal opinion.)
pork, heres the thing, you are saying that it would be an option, that means that not everyone has to participate. Most of the people here are saying that they would not participate, but then you start talking like this would be mandatory. Then people start bringing up reasons why it should not be mandatory, then you start talking about how it would be optional. Clearly the discussion is going in circles. I would like to give you examples of why this will not work as either mandatory or optional:
1) optional: people do not want to participate, so they will not, and multis will not (they are not that dumb). They will continue to play as they currently do and this solution will not solve its main goal.
2) mandatory: tournaments, clan games, rematches, friend's games, private games, team games, training games, etc. will all be rendered useless. The point of these games are to play with specific people, not a random person on the site.
So, currently it seems that the ideas you have presented will either not accomplish their goals, or will ruin the site as we know it. Sorry to be so harsh, but I truly do not feel that this is a good idea.
