2. A non-competitive ranking system. The people who want to play games are competitive by nature. Having this chowder dick on top of the rankings who doesnt play games because he cant play anything other than 1 or 2 maps on specific settings and he's afraid to lose is ridiculous. There should be base requirements to being ranked - a certain number/combination of medals, maintaining a certain amount of games, etc. And if you're inactive for 30 or 60 days, you should come off the rankings. I have messaged multiple players on the top 10 for a game only to be told they no longer play or are only playing a single game with friends. So then why are they there as some high ranking player?? There has to be a way to make that system more conducive to a competitive environment. As of now, it's stagnant. And advertise clan league more! Integrate the standings into the site! Give prizes, MVPs, all that stuff. That's the most competitive part of the site, it should be pimped everywhere, everyone should know about it and want to be a part of it.

Constructive:
Freshen up the graphic.
Organise tourneys for something better than a 'star' which gets you FA.
Have a conqueror who isn't an egotistical, narccisistic charlatan who has all the personality of a curly dog turd.
Freshen up or change the dice software, it too often farts in the face of strategy.
Many people myself included use this site as an escape from reality at times, i would thank the original person who set this up.

Have you tried to PLAY this game on a cell phone? NOT Easy.

Wishing for a return to the "good old days" does not take into consideration the changes that have occurred since then. The world is very different now and the choices for entertainment and gaming are much more numerous, diverse, and varied. Take television, for example: Hulu, Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, just to name a FEW, and there are so many more options. That market has fragmented in a huge way. So has the options for gaming. I think that other gaming sites have suffered loss of members, too. This decline of CC is NOT Unique to CC.
As I said elsewhere, Risk is a complex game that requires a good deal of thought and analysis. Unlike Chess, it offers the element of Odds and Probability with Dice and Cards. It also offers options for team play, making it an interesting game from many perspectives. Diplomacy during the game adds another whole realm of complexity.
I think the current younger generations have grown up with video games that offer more stimulation and more engagement with buttons and controls and immediate feedback. Risk, and this website, do not offer those things. I see Risk as having a rather limited market of players who enjoy this format and the challenges presented.
I think some of the suggestions made here in this thread can be helpful. I am not sure the leadership of CC is willing to invest the time, energy, and resources to revamp the site. One major set of suggestions made want this game more compatible with cell phones. Simply put, this game is too complex to fit well on a cell phone. Have you tried to PLAY this game on a cell phone?

I will pass that suggestion along. But do come check out the TPA tournaments, I think we have some good ones that don't follow all the boring patterns. I just posted one that uses 77 of CC's maps as a board game. Come give it try. Check out Duk's tournament based off of a James Bond movie. Help us raise the excitement level and tell us where we are not communicating.

I think that signature competition thing had to do with an inside joke between two clans. They didn't explain in the thread what the history of that was, so I was as confused as you. Then I forgot all about it. lol. If I had been "in the know" I might have got involved in making a sig.
.SCuD. wrote:DBD Vs VNM Signature Challenge... what the flying f*ck is it even about? Who is DBD? Who is VNM? what is their "yearly battle". Can anyone get involved? Or can you only get involved in designing a signature? It's just utter garbage that doesn't mean anything at all. I've been here for two years and I have NFI, so what idea a newbie has I don't know.
This yearly battle between our two Clans continues.
LAST YEAR.. Death by Dice won by 1 game
THIS year, Keefie wants revenge, and we have both agreed to a Signature Bet.
The LOSER has agreed to wear a SIGNATURE for 30 DAYS
PRIZES
1st - 1000 Credits + :trophy:
2nd - 500 Credits
3rd - 250 Credits
Tourneys:
You can win credits? I don't really know what you think tournaments should give you. You aren't likely to win a new PS5 or a microwave from playing CC.

And that pretty much summed it up for me. Yes, the announcement title did not sum up the entire thread, but it's a title, it's not supposed to. I sincerely doubt anyone new would click on that and be as confused as you're claiming.

Seemingly by allowing unapologetc anti-semites, like yourself, to continue to post on the site.

mrswdk wrote:tbh CC's chance to keep up with the times has already been and gone. There are good mobile apps out there that offer people the opportunity to play Risk (and other strategy games) quickly and easily on their phones. CC dragged its feet and missed the boat, like Nokia trying to jump on the smartphone wave after Apple, Samsung and others had already carved the market up for themselves.
CC membership went from 5k to 15k in about one month when everyone was locked down due to COVID, and almost all of those new users have left again already. CC clearly can't attract new users. The only play it has left is to keep its existing user base happy. It does that by doing things conserving a series of neo-colonial and racist maps that remind CC's boomer fanbase of how the world looked when they were children.
