Postby ronc8649 on Fri Dec 25, 2009 6:46 pm i am going to suggest to all who see this thread.
start up 40 games just like aalmeida is doing...if we all do this, cc might actually put something into place then.
since only one person is doing it, nothing will be done.
i started 40 of them. make them all montreal, manual, freestyle, foggy, 5 player games. guaranteed to win 90 percent of them with people deadbeating out!!!!
*Edit. i would rather see something done now then in 2 years
I'll do that if a point reset and ban is not given. (If they are given, I'm satisfied that it will be a precedent to later cases) That's pretty genius, ronc.

Typical classless ronc post. Baiting - flaming - AND promoting unsanctioned gaming.
BTW. Alex has class and taste. re the avi.
Keep smiling alex!
Keep trolling ronc!

This method would eliminate the entire possibility of farming WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ensuring that newbies/cooks/cadets have reasonably competitive games that will further their enjoyment of the site, causing them to be more likely to invest in it. But that suggestion has been ignored, as so many great ones are around this place. Meanwhile, we get nuclear-freaking-spoils and reorganizations of the screens.
So no thoughts from anyone on this (ignoring the actual percentage to be used, which could be up for discussion)?

Conquer Club and logic don't mix well. It's a good suggestion, but farmers in the grass will find some "we pay money, we should be free" argument.

My friends are cooks and I generally hang around high major/colonel. Now what? Any way that lets me play with them also lets people farm.
Edit: farm low ranks. As for new recruits, same thing except replace cooks with new recruits.

the thing is we should be able to play the games (boards) we want without any restrictions and continue to have the 50 game limit. this solution by woody i think will stop farming all together. and if a lower rank player tried to farm they will only fall in rank once they reach the next level.

The ONLY POSSIBLE downside that I've been able to come up with is the scenario where someone who has a significant rank gets a friend to join the site and they want to play games with their friend immediately...they wouldn't be able to until the friend ranked-up a bit. My response to that is...HELP THEM RANK UP BY TEACHING THEM and then you will be able to play against them.
There are no other downsides.

True enough, and that's the only downside I see. As I said in my previous post...help them up by their bootstraps. Teach the man to fish and all that rot...then you can play against them all the time without having to worry about any thoughts of "farming" coming to the fore.

That's a huge downside for me.
The highest rank one of my friends on CC has been is a private first class. Of those that play, they do so sparingly (about 100 games completed in 2 years). Occasionally we partner in a doubles or they join a game with me. I can't exactly help them rank up if they hardly play, although the times they do come, it makes the game a lot more fun.

Or, make it so that you can play unranked games, in which score has absolutely no factor in who you play against.

Which brings up an excellent point. The site's excuse for not allowing unranked games is that they don't want people to be able to practice on maps and get good at them without it affecting their actual rank. Well that's about the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life...that's like telling an NFL team that they can't practice and can ONLY play in the regular season games. Does that actually make sense to anyone? I mean...so what if someone practices enough to get good? If you don't like it because now they're better than you on the map, well...there's a way to fix that, you know!
Just one more instance of the stupidity of those in charge of this site causing it to have far less enjoyment for many people.
As you may be able to tell, I definitely think that unranked games should be allowed, which would eliminate the ONLY problem with this solution.

That would, but it brings up another problem: I can get to 6k score, then play nothing but unranked games and just have 1 build game to keep me on the scoreboard. Sure, people have done that before, but most who have quit from boredom.
I don't have a problem as it in no way affects me, but it's been brought up before so you'd have to come up with something. Nice idea with the unranked games, though.

I told you logic and CC don't mix. As popular or ideal a suggestion may seem, it will never come about.
But nuclear cards? I looked at the Suggs&Bugs thread and it seemed as if lack was just looking at random threads on page 89 on the forum and used one of those "random" dice to choose which suggestion will actually go through.

I'm sorry, but everything in the world always has problems, and trying to defend this suggestion to the point of perfection is near impossible.
I'll admit that there are "holes" in it, but farming will be completely eliminated if Woody's score suggestion and the unranked games suggestion go through.
Also, if you can get to 6k, you probably deserved it and deserve to hold on to it until someone gets more points than you (assuming you didn't farm).
