how many people joined to play the classic map?

[azezzo]

i did,my friends did, how about you?
just curious to see how many of us did, considering about 1/3rd of all games played on this site were classic map games.
for the record i have played over 1900 games on the classic map

[Natewolfman]

842 out of 3928 games are classic

[The Neon Peon]

I joined for the exact opposite: to not play the classic map.

Lets face it, we have an actual board classic that many of us played for years before cc started up, and I have not met a single person in real life, who has not gotten sick of playing RISK on the same old map. So when my friends told me about the site, I joined to play on new maps.

I understand why people who joined in 06 might have joined to play classic, I probably would have as well if I knew about the cite earlier, but I would say that classic is the least cc has to offer us. Had this been a cite where I would just play classic, I would have quit within a week and went back to rolling actual dice.

Of course it has always been good having Classic to fall back on, but I have to admit that as soon as I saw some of the other offerings,I was beyond intrigued. At moments when I considered leaving the site (due to bad luck or boredom etc.), it was always the great new maps that kept me here.

[Gypsys Kiss]

I've only played 117 games on it. Only 4/5 of my first 20 were on classic. So no, I guess I didnt join for it.

[Timminz]

At least 5 people.

The real question to be answered is what are you going to do now that your map of choice is gone?

[Stephan Wayne]

screw classic i just signed up because i liked the home page

Well, at present "cry about it in a futile fashion" appears to be the answer of choice.

[Robinette]

Well i have played a WHOPPING 345 classic games...

and 92 "other" games,
so what is that... mnnn... about 80% classic...
and 20% funk...

HA! a new version of the 80 - 20 rule...




But where do we go from here, now that we have been cast out of the Classic garden

[max is gr8]

I joined in '06 to play risk, it turned out my favourite map was the asia one.

[owenshooter]

not me!!! classic is/was my least favorite map on the site!!! i am talking number 100 out of 100!!! and why didn't you put up a poll if you are asking for numbers? seems like the logical next step to do, in terms of futility...-0

[whitestazn88]

i joined cuz i wanted to find another place where i could be ridiculed for my idiocies as well as get my ass beat in a game that i once thought i thoroughly enjoyed

i'm a masochist... can't help it

[Robinette]

not me!!! classic is/was my least favorite map on the site!!! i am talking number 100 out of 100!!!

Idiot.

It kept telling me I was NOT TO PRESS THE RED BUTTON.

Which ofcourse I did, f*ck whatever some silly internet game tells me not to do.

[Jeff Hardy]

i joined for classic as it was the only map i knew at the time

[dezzy26]

i actually joined the sit to play this type of game i never played risk (dont know why) i came across a poo java version and went hunting for a good online version
i joined for the free four games and signed up for preemie the daqy after lol
its still a top site without the classic "lookin" map even tho i was dissapointed when it went cos i loved the look of it

[MajorRT]

i did,my friends did, how about you?

I did and most of my (limited) games have been classic....just started world 2.1 , seems interesting and not too complex...

[oaktown]

I joined to play classic... but I paid and stayed because of everything else. If I just wanted to play the same map forever I wouldn't have ponied up for premium.

[ParadiceCity9]

I don't really like the classic map for games other than team games..so no I did not join to play classic. What got me, ironically, was the Middle Earth map but that's beside the point...

[owenshooter]

I don't really like the classic map for games other than team games..so no I did not join to play classic.

again, i really have to agree with this statement. i have stated it before, and when someone else feels the same way, i have to applaud them. the classic map is/was easily my least liked and played map. and when i joined, i found so many of the other maps infinitely more enjoyable than the classic map. i understand the pain and sorrow many are feeling (robinette), however, i just feel there are far superior maps on the site to play.-0

O.....MY.....GOD.....
Are You Kidding Me????
Owen and Paradice are in complete agreement......

This makes the 2 of you an ultimate E-Harmony compatibility match...

Having played some 80% classic,i feel this map has definately helped me to get to the rank that i find myself today & when it went,believe me,i was truely gutted.
However,now that it has gone & i am forced to play other maps(as do not like replacement),it has to be said,i am rather enjoying them.
They say that variety is the spice of life & until the classic was changed,i was not,shall we say,very "spicy" at all,infact one could say i had been set in my ways & rather boring
Yes i loved the classic map,yes i will miss it & yes,it will always have a place in my heart.
However, it has gone & i"m now finding there is a lot great deal more to CC than just that one map.
Now that my eyes have been opened to this fact, "variety" definately is the spice of life & to those of you that felt as i did, i urge it to be yours also as there truely are some good maps out there

@ op: why dont you add a poll?
that way we could see without having to read every post
