Changed my mind about Conquer Club

[premio53]

I was planning on gracefully leaving Conquer Club and go somewhere else to play. There are at least three other sites that I know of where one can play the "Classic" map online but after playing on each of them, I realized that their setups and game play can't come close to that of CC in my opinion. I will certainly miss the Classic map but the ease of play here outweighs all other advantages.

My only desire is that someone will create a world map maybe similar to World 2.1 but smaller.

i love the honesty in this post. one question. did non-paying members have as much access to the site and maps as you do here on CC? not being a smartass, just truly wondering what freemiums get in other places.-0

Play the USA map ?
Its almost exactly the same as Classic

yeah except for the fact that the usa map is USA only, whereas classic is the whole world.
...yes, i can see how they would be similar.

Yes. Just try to imagination that your playing on the other five continents that Classic contained. It's not that hard, is it?

[InkL0sed]

The only similarity is that its +2 continents have the same characteristics. The continents in between are way off.

Why is it that people who nobody knows anything about and hardly ever post come to the GD and start threads that say, "I am going to leave the site because classic is bad" or now "I am not going to leave the site"

Seriously, you post once a week, and you think someone will care if you leave other than a few select friends who do not need to read the forums to know? People would not care if someone like me left either. They would not even notice it.

And this thread is just hilarious. You started an entire topic about yourself saying "I am not going to do anything" Good for you, mate! Whoever you are, you must be some person of great significance. I would have spent months wondering why you are playing the site, like you have been doing the past year. I really needed you to explain the you are planning to stay anyways, THANK YOU SO MUCH... who are you again?

Now, lets go celebrate this magical event: premio53 is not leaving the site guys!!! We really need his help in the Scrap Heap forum, would not survive without that one post every week.

Why so negative ?
If you think about it that way why even bother to post ?
We might not need premio53 for a nice forum, but posts like yours really don't do any good to

I know one site allows four games at a time. The other two I couldn't even tell you. They were so bad I didn't even check out all the details. Grand Strategy which has the best "Classic" and the one found on Risk II is much sub par in game play in my opinion. I can see why Conquer Club has been as popular as it has been now.

Let me add. The only reason I don't join is because I don't wish to let my time be too occupied with this game though I have been tempted more than once. If one enjoys Risk like games, the price of membership here is very reasonable. I do believe allowing 4 free games in the long run increases the paying customers.

I am aware that that did not contribute, but the thing is, if everyone posts when they are leaving conquerclub, our forum will be full of spam and half of the actual threads will be drowned in it.

If people start posting about every times they are thinking about leaving cc, and then decided against it, we will not have a forum at all since there will be a new thread every minute. I am just trying to explain how ridiculous it is to the people that think they are contributing.

But I will try to avoid such comments in the future and let the thread die as it will if you have a problem with me stating exactly how ridiculous and pointless the thread is.

Pests: someone meanders into the forum one time and sees a thread saying they were thinking of leaving and deciding against it and start a new one themselves saying the same thing because they do not realize that it is a rare thread made by people who think they are important (which I do not believe of myself, for the record), repeat the process.

You missed my whole point. I didn't know what I had until I tried something else. The only thing I don't miss about this forum is the foul mouths that pop up so often. Have a good day.

Well, if you were trying to say that there is no good alternative to cc, then I would agree. You may then disregard my first post. I have trouble finding the true meaning of things when people change what they are saying halfway through the post.

um, well that wasn't the case in this post, i think your poor reading comprehension made you come off as beyond arrogant. i appreciated what he had to say. he went somewhere to play a version of classic, since it isn't here... he realized how poor the other site was, and came running back to the superior product... i think it is a great thread, and i haven't seen one like it in the forums. then again, i haven't been around as long as you have peon, so what do i know? GREAT THREAD PREMIO!!!-0

[Iron Butterfly]

This is a place to post our thoughts,ideas and experience regarding CC and I would hope other topics.

The OP brought valid up points with his personal experience.

We post here because as humans we have the need to communicate. Having an opinion doesnt make me right but they at least help me choose which peons to ignore.

[The Neon Peon]

Ah, don't mind owen. He likes going around and insulting me in any thread he sees my name in, along with sending me PMs half the time talking about why I am arrogant and an idiot. I think it is his hobby.

I often do post too quickly, although most of the time I press the "reply" button, I end up deleting the post after I re-read it. A few like that get past though, and I end up offending people, or something of the sort.

By the way, you are the first person in my memory to ever use the word "peon" while referring to me. I probably missed one or two odd instances, but I am sure owen will look them up for me. I always wondered why no one ever called me a peon before... Anyways, congratz.

i agree with owen
there are alot of topics slagging cc off at the moment cos of the classic (for want of a better word) scenario so when some-one comes and posts how good the site is (which we all really know but like bitching about from time to time) in comparison to others it puts in perspective how classic map really doesnt matter in terms of gameplay and the wide choice of maps and different gameplay we have here

I see your self centered as well. what makes you think I was refering to you?

...Hey matching winks...NOW that is somthing that should be banned from forums!!!

You know what? THAT post was almost certainly of more interest to Lack, et al than yours, by FAR!

And I suspect a lot of folks who DO come here, such as myself enjoy hearing new voices much more than the same old stuff over and over... (and yes, I am guilty of that)

Let's see... what are the odds that you were referring to someone else? Pretty low in my opinion. You can take almost any response and use that type of logic to insult the person.

You know what? THAT post was almost certainly of more interest to Lack, et al than yours, by FAR!

Well, if you read my post, you will see that I posted nothing at all about anything being of interest to Lack, and I would disagree completely about that this forum is for Lack's own entertainment. Just because I say "someone will care" you automatically assume that someone is Lack? Well, that is surely flawless logic, can't compete with that.

And I suspect a lot of folks who DO come here, such as myself enjoy hearing new voices much more than the same old stuff over and over

Once again, care to read my posts in context. I pointed out that people should seriously stop saying that they are going to leave because in every thread that is made about people leaving, half of the first page is covered with posts to the sort of:

No, don't go! We really need you here, cc would never be the same without you... Who are you, again?

Um... yeah we will surely miss your great contribution of membership... wait, your a freemium, nevermind...

Then people pointed out that this thread was not about the person deciding to stay or leave cc, but that the person was merely using that to demonstrate a point about why cc is good:

You missed my whole point. I didn't know what I had until I tried something else.

Then, I conceded that I had not taken the first post's true meaning completely because I only read the first part of it, and just glanced through the rest:

Well, if you were trying to say that there is no good alternative to cc, then I would agree. You may then disregard my first post. I have trouble finding the true meaning of things when people change what they are saying halfway through the post.

So people, stop quoting the first post I made in this thread then using it to insult me. I already revoked what I said, conceded that it was out of context, apologized for it, and promised to be more careful in the future, so please, stop making me repeat myself and taking this thread further and further off topic.

P.S. Aren't quotes wonderful?

True 'dat yo. I've never played on any of the other sites, and I don't know what they are like. I've heard good things about them, and bad (mostly bad) and with Classic, my main map, gone, I have contemplated checking out another site... But this unbiased consumer testimonial makes me think otherwise. Yes, I won't waste my time with Landgrab or GrandStrategy now.

[AAFitz]

ive only played at one of the competitors sites....

while there are some options that are interesting, i didnt even play there when I had a premium.... and the other ones that I tested, werent even close

theres nothing like this place....while not all agree with the way its run, its focused more on keeping it like a club, than any other site ive seen.

you cant beat this place...not the game, the settup, maps, but most importantly, the people.

don't you mean, "ah, don't mind owen. he makes absolute sense, while i rarely comprehend what it is that has just been written and pop off half cocked and then hang around the thread trying to change the context in which my statement was made so i don't look like such a wanna be GD bully."? the OP made a great thread. many threatened to leave and to give up their premium, etc... he actually walked away, found a mistress, and realized that even on it's worst days, CC is still better than a $2 whore on dollar day... deal with it neon, you ran your mouth and had no idea what the OP was talking about. hurrah and huzzah to the OP, best original "i'm quitting CC" thread to date!-0

Did you read my last post, then? In it, I specifically stated that I agreed I did not understand the post at first, and that I have been spending the rest of the thread explaining that I already admitted to that I did not understand it in the second post.
