i cant even get stripes to join my games. god do i miss freestyle 8 player esc classic speed games.
Me too, so bad. We've made a few goes at trying to get those games back up, or even 6 player doodles as a fallback, but no joy. I've finally let my premium lapse, and I keep checking in to see if ...

My premium just ran out, and so far I'm not renewing. I check in now and then to see if there any speed games up with a chance of filling that I actually want to play and so far: not so much. Won't be long until its just clans wanking with each other, I reckon.

That's a pretty huge drop. There's probably a tipping point as well, when the departures accelerate because there aren't enough players around to maintain even the current level of activity. I know that I'm seriously considering quitting given that I'm only really interested in speed games, and my ...

As a regular fs speed player who wishes with all of his shriveled, blackened heart that 8p fs speed games would come back, I still like the rule change. It should have very little effect on speed fs games - and particularly those with a decent chunk of competent players (as they always did). That ...

Regular fs players do tend more to the asshat side of things, it's true. And it doesn't help - they also tend to foe often and easily, which again didn't help in filling games. I think some of those people are learning that that attitude just contributes to the death of fs speed games which is good ...

It is a decline in all speed games, for sure. The canary in the mine were the 8p fs classic games which were *awesome*, but depended on a bunch of good, committed fs players. Then we went down to 6p doodle fs, which was fun for a while. Not as good as the 8p classic, but still pretty good. Then all ...

I still think that the problem with CC is clans. The real problem is not so much with people leaving I think but that fresh blood isn't replacing it. The reason for that is that CC doesn't offer something compelling to people looking to get started. And by that I mean speed games. That's what got me ...

The fact remains that he could not win which allowed Red to capitalize and take the game.

At that point in the game Yellow would have won.

Your accusation isn't even internally consistent. And you have enough medals to know that the statement "at that point in time" someone would win is just ...

You're just annoyed you didn't make it to the next round. You survived for a long time after the "suicide", looks like the game was just made more balanced by RKCVED and he was hoping to survive a bit longer. He probably saw you had him prepped for a take-out (which you did next round). He also didn ...

That's exactly right Betiko, speed of thought and execution and ping all matter. But of those three, ping is by far the least important.

You're right, universalchiro, of course, but it's a question of the size of the relevant advantage. In a 6p doodle game, it helps but it is (I think) still a fairly minor issue. I have a fairly crap connection, and just use the sites clickies but I reckon I'm still top tier in those 6p doodle games ...

Giggled.

In! Clearing my foe list now.

I'd be up for agreeing times where the regular FSers would check for speed games. I'm a work player, and UK time zoned so I'm guessing that 2pm-6pm UK time (9am-1pm EST) would work for me. Any takers?

Tenebrus i wont quote you. i think you are missing my point.

sit back and think josko is no 1 his point loss is 4 times what he wins in a game. he has his right to play his shots in any order within the time frame allowed in the game. once he reaches this top score his point loss will be a lot ...

all i would ask of this case to be fair to all ccer's is that josko be removed from the monthly scoreboard while he is chasing this top score. questions that need to be asked are simple..

did he do this to get to conqueror ? no i dont think he did.

the games he plays he loses 50 odd points per ...

In pls

Yeah, if the games hadn't been with clan mates, it'd still probably be illegal because of the hostage taking. Interesting question though - if you *really* tried hard, I wonder if you could get almost as good a result by playing your turns super quick in a 24 hr casual game when you're losing, and ...

In please

That list is pretty accurate I reckon. I'd move Jdizzletothepizzle, Culs de sac, and SamSosa down a group. And frox, bruceswar, and VOC up a group. Karel totally belongs in the top tier. Ollie belongs in the second tier, or the first if he's not playing 83 games at once =).

With those exceptions, I ...

Stunna's skills, like my love for him, are eternal.

Maybe the reason they don't fill any more, is because high ranks will only set them up with a team/reserved players. Who wants to join with 4 random noobs to get creamed on a map with a specialist team?

There needs to be a way to get the active people to play more open games instead of just team ...

Does anyone think the growth of the Clan world possibly might contribute to the lower scores? I think that Clans right now and for the last while have been on the rise, and as the top clans compete with each other, their players (who may or may not be in line for conqueror) play each other more and ...

Oh, if we're playing this game. We've gone heads-up 5 times. I wonder how many I won? Oh look! All 5.

*preen*

Huh, interesting. I've played against them both a bunch of times and never seen anything look odd - but I'll keep an eye out. FF in particular always seemed like a stand-up guy to me, so I dunno. Gab's pretty smart tho.

Those games do get a bit frantic when there's a lot of good fs in there, and I ...
