I like this suggestion. It essentially exists in the game creator... And surely wouldn't it be stored as a cookie (or some other technical jargon I don't really understand) on the users end, as opposed to serverside?

Ok so I just re-premiumed the other day. Checking my online bank account I noticed an "International Pos Fee" for $0.63, dated the same day as my renewal.

Some googling has led me to the following;

either its some sort of fraud, or I have paid for something 'overseas'.

I haven't purchased ...

I'm in. (Well I will be when it's official anyway)

I'd suggest finding what sort of game you enjoy and/or prefer most. For example, do you like the classic map? Do you understand the intricacies of Freestye? Do you like games against 3 or 4 players, or 7 or 8?

Control the variables you can to stack the odds up for you. Of course, most players you ...

Problem with it is that it doesn't address the issue of alliances. Thanks for the idea anyway.

What is it with forums and the longer standing members having the incessant need to berate newer members for having a discussion that they have already had?

Why not just not participate and let us relative noobs get to your prestigious pedestal in our own sweet time, and not in the hurry you ...

(In fact, is there a way to have non-scored games?)
wait.. hang on... i can't even answer that because i am laughing so hard...-0

You know what I meant, right? If so, how is it funny?

Whilst I recognise alliances and their ilk are very much part of the game, they can (of course) greatly alter the tide of a match, which could discount the role geographical positioning may play otherwise; and since that is what I want to examine, its important to control what can be controlled ...

I'm the same way.

After around 50 games I'm starting to get the tricks of freestyle - like you said, playing a final turn, then waiting for another player to start so you can jump in and almost play 2 back-to-back turns, aswell as waiting for escalating cards to get higher in turn 5/6/7 when the ...

Hello.

I have a theory, loose at the moment, that certain territories tend to be key in building a swift advantage in a CC game, and when allocated to a competent player give a slight advantage (unless there are enough of them divided between players).

I have had this idea for several years, but ...

Is there a guide to alliance etiquette somewhere?

As a relative noob, I am not sure how to go about it, whilst maintaining as much advantage as possible (but still being fair!).

EG, I want to ally with X.

Do I:

1) PM X to see if X is interested, and if so, public chat announce an alliance ...
