How do we get rid of this horrible dice color?

Hi! A hobby of mine is collecting autographs, both in-person and through the mail. I use the website www.startiger.com all the time to find addresses and for organizing my data, displaying my collection scans, statistics, etc. It's a pay subscription site, but you really get a lot of bang for your ...

My hat has been thrown into the ring. I love that map! Cool idea, too! This will be fun to watch even if I don't get in on it.

What is the point of this map? We already have a Europe map that works/looks better.

Well I quit paying for membership after the horrible way the feedback thing was handled, and now I'm glad. This place needs some new management.


I invite anyone that is upset to simply not renew your membership when it expires. That's what I did, and I still have a lot of fun with the four games I ...

Sure thing. Sequential, Foggy, Unlimited, Flat Rate

3 is average so don't worry about it.

Not in this ratings system. It's very obvious that 5 is average because that's the "average" rating left by everyone. Anyone with a single ounce of intelligence can see that since everyone is used to the positive/neutral/negative system, they are using the ...

Everyone seems to be a 4.6 or a 4.7. so what? We're all the same now, kinda makes it a bit pointless i think.

just my thoughts

It's not just you. Poor sports, deadbeaters, cheaters, etc. will all have about a 4.5-4.8 rating.

After two weeks of experience with the new ratings system and a lot of important input from Conquer Club members like you, it's pretty clear that it could use some fixing.

So here is a 4-point plan to address the major problems with ratings, based on ideas brought up in this forum:

Problem: We ...

One would think so, but there wasn't a vote when this debacle went into place so I doubt there will be one now.

u say this.. but some people on here are abuseing it already ..if they lose a game there giving low stars.. so if someone who plays the game well and is always a pleasant person to play with has 3 stars all because some players cant take a lose. then u wont play em..


How is that different than ...

That's a load of bull and you know it.

Asking us to help "tweak" this system is like asking us to help arrange flowers on a sinking ship. This system needs a huge overhaul, not "tweaks".

Like what, exactly?

Written comments were a mess and led to much more dispute and unhappiness. Leaving written comments unmoderated would still leave us with too many angry members offended by comments..


The written comments didn't look like a mess to me. It looks like community moderation would be a great thing ...

Once NICE feature of the new system is the ability to edit your evaluation after a game.

People do change.

The old feedback system allowed you to delete or edit your feedback left as well. However, the old system would let you leave a negative comment for a very bad game with that person, while ...

You're also 100% right. This would be the best solution and I hope the mods can see that.

1. The biggest problem that I could tell was a lot of "retalitory" feedback with the written comments. If it's set-up where the person doesn't see the comments for 5 days until the game is locked, this would be eliminated. The only way that the feedback would really be "retalitory" would be if ...

Problem 1 - too much confusion is caused by 5 stars in 4 categories

Problem 2 - we're not gonna get feedback back because of moderation 'problems'.

Easy solution

Award a plus star (equivalent of old positive feedback) for an enjoyable game.
Award a negative star (equivalent of old negative ...

Read what suggs posted. That sounds like a very good solution to me. The ability to leave written responses is good, but we also need the ability to leave written feedback. This keeps getting repeated over and over and over again. Not being able to leave written feedback is the main thing that ...

Down with the ratings! Up with comments!!

...bumping this back up for the few people who are even going to see it.

People needs to wake up and realize that they don't deserve the maximum rating just for existing but rather that you need to earn it by doing something good.

People need to wake up and realize that it doesn't matter what rating they give someone, it will be engulfed by the flood of fives that ...

I would love for more people to vote on Jiminski's poll thread, but wicked keeps deleting it or moving it to the most obscure place possible. This poll needs to be on the website front page, but at the VERY LEAST it should be in the general discussion forum. It ALSO needs to be in the suggestions ...
