I'm a nooby-nooben-noobertine, and I must say for all the lack of action, I'm a total addict. I have to keep checking in constantly to see if anything has happened.. however, I can't imagine that if I paid the $20 things would move any faster.. I wonder why there isn't an option for, say a two hour straight play through.. maybe even group concensus to continue play at a particular time if it is still on.. I find it hard to gain experience with only four slow games at once... and then of course people are missing turns.. but let's say I could play unlimited games.. I would think it harder to keep track of, or get to know individual players.. the games would blend together and seem, maybe, a little meaningless..

I think there is a speed game coming in the next update, but I don't know when that is.
As far as spending 20 bucks, it is worth it. I usually have about 40 games going at any one time. They really don't blend and you get to meet more players.
Nano, all good observations, and ones we have also made over the past year. Speed games are coming (where you can set the time limit to less than 24 hours) and real time games (playing straight through) can be set up through the Callouts Forum or Live Chat. As far as meeting players, chat is good for that, as are clans. Also, there are add-on scripts that'll help you keep track of games.

some have played 150 at one time....i usually have about 40 with 10 on deck...it does get distracting and every once in while ill play a doubles and assume its triples...(ten minutes ago)...but it is fun...
in fact...i think my 1000th just posted...im assuming it did..but i digress
(nope...number 999)
some people will chat, others wont...but there are some fun people on here, and once you settup the games you wont ever again question the $20
you may question the thousands you could have made doing something more productive....but you wont question the $20 spot
keep in mind that buying a prem account will totaly screw your real life.
you may loose your job, your wife, forget to drink and die on dehydration.
you can avoid that problem by buying your wife and your employer a prem. membership too, and make sure you buy enough water before buying a prem. and don't forget to sleep ( at least sometimes)
i am not addicted to CC i can stop playing whenever i want i just don't want too. ohh just leave me be .
nanospores I really agree with you. I'm a brandspankin' noob who's really addicted to CC, but of course can't satisfy my addiction with only 4 games at a time. I don't think I can get premium, but even if I did I probably wouldn't be playing that many games at a time. (...what, I don't have an addictive personality...I've quit smoking thousands of times its easy!)
good luck!
