Re: Should we decrease the CC and CL game load?


3. In December 2023 in the finals of CC13 rockfist forced us to use the defaults for CC(allowed by CC13 changes that fixed a previous issue) that were in the same time as with our CL15 match with S&M(TOFU had a bye) because as he said "they had more available players". They won the title by ...

Re: TOFU/S&M Discussion

To reiterate something I said earlier in this thread, there was an active discussion in the clan forum about whether to proceed with the merger with S&M, and whether to either bring CoF in to try to restart the clan, or at least to hand off the clan to him once everyone left. The decisions made were ...

Re: TOFU/S&M Discussion

There were active discussions in the TOFU forum both about merging with S&M and about whether to hand control of TOFU back to CoF. The decisions made were not imposed by dictatorial leaders. In both cases, the decisions made were the result of a consensus opinion of the remaining clan members. I ...

The 2024 Democratic Presidential Nominee

This memo was intended as a way for me to organize my thoughts on the Presidential nomination process in the wake of the June 27 Presidential debate. Quite a few people and organizations are calling for an alternative Democratic Party nominee, but there are a lot of complexities involved in that ...

Re: [CCXIV] R1: ACES (9) vs LION (2)

Seems like with leaners somewhere around 15-3 (ACES) coming out of the first batch! Clearly my bracket is going to be quite wrong after all. That's okay. Someone had to be the contrarian. I had LIONs in the semifinals, but I'll predict you guys make it to the semifinals at this point instead.

What a spectacular war!
Joecool for mvp!
Lots of studs under 50% win-rate…a testament to the talent on both sides.

Does CC reward the cup mvp with a free year membership?
Seems like a good idea to me. Joe did not pay me for that plug :D

There is no longer MVP for individual wars, and CC ...

I think you may want to edit your prediction

Eh. I get it. You're up 4-1 over LIONs. Based on a quick run-through of the 1st batch, it looks like you're leading roughly 8-5 on games that have a noticeable lead. Still ...

Re: [CC13] Finals: TOFU vs. FALL (29-25)

The remaining games are starting to look pretty nearly decided. This likely finishes 32-29 TOFU.

Re: [CC13] Finals: TOFU vs. FALL (28-25)

Agreed. Based on called games (with gg in chat), this is sitting at 29-25. There are two very strong leaners for both sides, which gets us to 31-27. Of the remaining three, two have a clear FALL lead, and the last has a slight TOFU lead.

Re: [CC14] Official Prediction Contest - Enter through 2/1/2

I understand the motivation to change the seeding, but it has never been fine this way before. In past years if the finals weren't complete (they never have been), the higher ranked of the two clans got the 1st seed. Asking people to make brackets without knowing which clans would be present in the ...

Re: [CC13] Finals: TOFU vs. FALL (25-24)

This is looking like 31-28 TOFU with 2 games still very close. My guess is TOFU wins either 31-30 or 32-29.

Re: Your first computer/modem/external drive.

I started with an Atari 520ST computer (they actually made computers, not just video game consoles!) back in the 80s. It came standard with no hard drive, 1/2 MB of RAM, and a 720KB floppy drive. At one point, I got a RAM upgrade kit, which was much more involved than just snapping in a new RAM card ...

I think Magadan needs to be bumped up to a neutral 8 so the barrier between Canada and China is comparable to the others.

If you're able to grab a screenshot next time you see a -1 instead of +1, it will be helpful in debugging the display issue.

Re: great lakes mistake on map inspect

I think it is actually correct. This was an older way of handling the XML before some additional features were added. The bonuses on that map are set up so every possible combination of 3 lakes awards +1. Now consider holding all lakes except for Lake Ontario (4 lakes, which should give a bonus of ...
