Go read the discussion here regarding Cell phones; you may have a bigger screen and you may be able to navigate better than most. Many on here complain about difficulties of playing on Cell phones. I have older iphone 4, I think, so small screen. iPad does have bigger screen, I have to go back and forth to see what I need for good moves; I cannot use some Panel Interface features on iPad, maybe the map inspect feature you alluded to....

I have been posting in this thread for about 5 months, and I have gotten some response on this topic; you can read whatever you want on this topic....most JUS post # at that moment or daily Tally, wherever they get that # from...I have seen it, but the actual # is like watching stock market most days, NOT important to me unless there is HUGE DROP.....long term trends are more significant to me and not the # at the moment......."one # does not a trend make".....David Stockwell....

I think your question(s) has been answered and that Owen summarized the overall trend rather well. We have seen a uptick in past few months, so hopefully the decline has bottomed out. The Guide Program, Other Games, as well as other improvement hopefully has stopped the long slide down.

The big problems (IMO) are the lack of a good way to put CC on mobile devices, such as cell phones, because of the complexity of the game that most of us love. We also have younger population who want more action and probably find Risk too complicated and too slow. The decline in speed games seem to validate my assessment; I am sure there are many other opinions out there.

i actually don't really see a problem with the mobile phone thing. I'm taking all of my turns on my phone now and checking / posting on the forums too. The only thing you probably shouldn't be doing on your phone is playing freestyle speed games But I do agree that it'd be a bit hard on complicated maps because you can't really use map inspect on your phone but otherwise I've really had no issue on my phone.

and it is indeed a pity speed games seem to be on the decline I remember the times we could play 8 player doodle earth assassin games game after game for 3 hours at a time (lose hundreds of points in the process)

Yeah, I use a iPhone 5 as well. Its definitely not ideal and I enjoy my turns more when they are on the computer. I just dont always have the time / access at home.

regarding posting the # of days, those posts aren't meant to mean something significant in it of themselves, but guys who make the long term graphs etc use those posts
to be able to see the trends month to month etc. to be able to see what portions of the year we see changes.

I've estimated it in the past as about a quarter, just by randomly choosing one page near the beginning of the scoreboard, one page near the middle, and one page near the end, and manually counting the premiums on it.

I wouldn't swear that it isn't 20% or 30%... that "one-quarter" estimate has basically only one significant digit.

Rumor has it that some people are demanding a topic change.

Let's go with 'CC has been declining' for now.

After five and a half years, 125 pages containing 3106 posts, and 185848 views, I'd say you're on solid ground...

A toast to this historic moment!

Sorry, Duk. I haven't been very active over the past few years. If it wasn't for the rumor I heard, it wouldn't have come mind to change the name.

There are more headlines to come when the time is right. For now, we can just celebrate this moment of change :beer:

Did someone say beer?

It's almost been a week since I tasted that sweet nectar

You've just set yourself up for a hit by TeeGee.

If only we hit 8.000 players, we could rename it again; and if we declined to 6.000, we would go for another name, too. Let's watch.

and thanks for the welcoming, SS!
