top 5 excuses for low ranks?

[Jeff Hardy]

what are they?

[The Neon Peon]

1. I don't care about my rank.
2. I am here to have fun, not to play for rank.
3. People who play for rank have no life.
4. I am addicted to Doodle Earth.
5. I don't have premium.

Those are probably the top 5 in my opinion. Define low rank though...

[mpjh]

1. I don't care.
2. Nobody else cares.
3. Everybody hates me.
4. Nobody loves me.
5. The dice suck.


6. I suck as a player

[ParadiceCity9]

1. doodle assassins
2. i'm bad at this site
3. i don't really care
4. my account was jacked by my pissed of gf
5. more doodle assasins

1. I don't care.

4. Nobody loves me.
5. The dice suck.


6. I suck as a player

We have a winner right there.

[PLAYER57832]

1. "The dice" has to be #1.

2. "I am just not that good"

3. is related to #2 -- I just don't have the time (to get good or to play enough to overcome random bad losses, etc.)

4. would be I play when distracted (by kids, work, etc.)



As for the rest ... "I don't care about points" is more an expression of reality than an "excuse". Some people do, others don't... I am not sure why those who DO care insist that they are necessarily superior in any way to those who do. It IS a game, it IS about fun. Some people don't find listening to a bunch of belittling and name-calling fun. But, we might still like competetive game.

Rank speaks for itself ... either you are happy with yours or you aren't. What does my rank and attitude matter to you?

4. my account was jacked by my pissed of gf

HA!!! i was just getting ready to post this!!! classic!!! ha!!!!
and i would have to add:
1.owen is my partner

[JOHNNYROCKET24]

I cant afford 25 bucks
JR is so damn good looking

[milner94]

1. I'm new to the site
2. Loads of people on CC are either nerds who play 14 hours a day or just way too good
3. Games aren't seeded - I always play against awesome people
4. I don't always get there for my turn - I deadbeat - someone eliminates me while I'm not looking
5. Freemium means I can't improve my ability as rapidly as premiums

That's my list, and I'm a cook, so all those are true.

1. Could be true.
2. Then why are those people good and you are not? The reason should not be the question.
3. Then join games with lower ranked players, maybe?
4. Well, if you log on 1 time every 24 hours, there is a 100% chance you will take your turn.
5. Not an issue whatsoever. To learn a strategy, you do not require to play many games, you just need brains. Once you learn a strategy, then the role of premium comes into play. If I have a good strategy, and a premium member has a good strategy, we will both gain points but the premium member at a faster rate. There is no excuse for premium/non premium unless you are a high major, then it may take effect.

The I am addicted to Doodle Earth is 100% spot on.That
map is like chocolate.Tastes great,but is not very healthy.

[max is gr8]

I personally don't care about points, and I used to be a low rank, my excuse now, looking back on the games I played is I played the wrong types of games.

[OliverFA]

Who needs an excuse?

[Ryall55]

Doodle isnt always a bad thing, im +1000 on it

[ParadiceCity9]

Doodle isnt always a bad thing, im +1000 on it

haha i'm something like that too..but the other day i dropped over 500 points just by playing doodle assassins..it sure was fun though...

[Ryall55]

lmao haha, doodle assasins those were the days lol, i gave up on them and play 3 player assasin on it

[OliverFA]

By the way. I have an excuse after all.

In 8 player games the 2nd player does not get any point no matter how well he played, but his skill cannot be compared to the first player to be eliminated.

If you are talking escalating, it is not a reason. Anything else, and I concede.

Then we agree. At least in part

And I avoid playing escalating so I have not to look for excuses for my rank

[Qwert]

1.High ranked player hate to play with me except Klobber.

[Pedronicus]

1. I'm a wanker

[DaGip]

5. Conquer Club doesn't rule my life.
4. Porn does!
3. I enjoy playing with n00bs
2. New players slap me for attempting to play with them!

And the number one reason to keep your rank low:

1. It really doesn't fucking matter!

[e_i_pi]

1. Attacking dice
2. Defending dice
3. Attacking and defending dice
4. First post in team games is "Don't tell me what to do, you play your game, I'll play mine"
5. A multi that throws games as a sacrifical points dummy

In that case, Lack must have about a million little multis running around his camp...
