I've been here since day two (or three). I followed a wikipedia link to this site after reading an article about Risk and liked it better than all the other sites that were linked there. Later on I figured that Lack was breaking wikipedia rules by putting that link up there, so that makes him a REBEL. Fight the power, eh?
I've been playing pretty much non-stop with my maximum of 4 (used to be 10 but then the site's population increased) games until I got invited to test out speed games by Lack and got rewarded with a month of free premium for my input. But Lack accidentally gave me a free year and when I told him about it he said I could keep it.
I've only taken a break once, and that was when my computer decided to let me access every single site on the internet except CC (and Qwantz, for some odd reason) and I ended up deadbeating my way out of Sgt 1st Class all the way down to my current rank.
My favorite achievement so far was playing every single map as a six-player freestyle escalating unlimited in celebration of my free premium. Perhaps sometime I'll do the same with all the new maps and 8 players, but I'm still recovering from the last time so I'm unlikely to try anything that extreme anytime soon.
My highest rank was Captain and the highest ranked player that I've played against (And beaten
) was Blitzaholic. My advice for reaching high scores? Stay away from speed games. They're addictive and fun and one of the best ways to pass the time on the internet but they suck your score like the vacuum of space on a CC-shaped spacecraft. Also, master a map that's difficult to get the hang of and stick to that. I would recommend AoM but it's becoming more common now so find your own map and make it yours.
Hmm, looking back perhaps I should have titled this "Your CC life story", but I'm too lazy to scroll up the page to change that, so there you go.
