Conquer Club

But I would definatly hold out till these clowns get some faster servers...

It's time to move the fucking stack out of someone's garage and do this for real people.

If you get tired of the game try to:
a) Become a Tournament Manager.
b) Start a carieer of Cartographer/Map designer/Gameplay Guru in the Map Foundry.
c) Try other online games and I'm sure that we'll have you back in less than 12 months
d) Visit landgrab to know how "similar" sites look like .
e) Play traditional Risk with 5 other friends and spend 8 hours trying to end a Classic board game...

Troll the forums. It has worked for a few of us right now.

Yes, that does keep one going during the 'dark times'.

That's like a stupid reason; from someone who should be a beacon of good reasons.

No offense, Just hear me out.
I'm just saying, if I was "Operations Manager", I'd feel like I had to reach the mass audience.
I'd want to keep people on, and get more joining all the time.

No offense, I understand. But it is, to some degree, all about the money right?
Well, while I get the humor of the "Operations Manager's" reply,
It seems there a great mass out there that doesn't yet fully understand.
A better response, and perhaps a whole campaign of enlightenment might increase, good will, membership, and profit.

It's easy to laugh off potential things; especially when life is good.
It's common to regret missed opportunities as you age. I'm old so I know first hand.
It can always be better, or worse.

I'm not looking for anyone's job.
I'm Just talking.
I like CC.

Well...actually, that kind optimus prime's response is one of the things that I like the most here. There is not a bunch of people trying to sell you stuff, but are a natural crew who enjoy the website, doing a job with honesty and relax.

Um... wow... you took that way, way more seriously than it was ever intended.

Yeah I know, I have a dry sense of humor.
It was funny to me though so...sorry.

Beers all around! THAT'S an opportunity not to be missed ;o)

Thank you LX and Lfaw for your continued support .

I did take a break for the past few months . I came back for feudal epic. Withdrawal was minimal due to the actions of a couple of individuals who run the site in the various forums. Without mentioning names and keeping it as blunt as possible , Favortism and Hypocrisy runs rampant among the mods. What applies to one will not apply to others. So to support the site would mean to support the practices.

I agree tenfold. Freebie games suck and take joy from the thrill of victory.

Because if you do Andy might just bust out a nice big bunch of bananas. You know how many bananas you can get for $25?

I left for a time last year for quite similar reasons, danfrank. I had no withdrawal symptoms, really. I came back because a couple of decent folk asked me to; and once I had cooled off, I decided to try it, so we could play some games together again. I returned, figuring my return would be very brief, and figuring I'd never go premie again, not for spite, but because I figured absolutely nothing would have changed.

So, what made me stay, buy premie again, and get active in the newsletter and other stuff again? While credit for my return goes to friends I'd made here, credit for my choosing to stay awhile and do my best to contribute goes Admin, as follows:
1) I left having a prepurchased year to dispose of. Lackattack did the right thing with that year, by redoing accounting stuffs to let that year get distributed to my tourney winners rather than force me to waste more dollars on a site I'd given up on.
2) andy at least responded to my letter-to-admin upon my return. Did I get my wish list? Not entirely (hardly any, really) but I see signs that the site is trying.
3) Last, but really foremost: a mod (whom I won't name) who'd practiced such hypocritical favoritism that that mod was a great part of why I'd left, showed me reason to hope: a personal apology, admitting the former errors, and signs of that mod dealing justice a little more equitably. Apparently a few other mods had done some talking-to... and this mod finally listened. If this mod can learn, others can.


I had no issue with freemie games, but I prefer the flexibility of having my games limited by my choice rather than a free maximum. $25 a year is approximately the price of a couple sodas a month to get that flexibility, since I do see signs the site is trying to improve...enough that I've decided to stick around.

Summation: Change may be slow as regards unequal justice, but I can see it, so I chose to come back to help support positive changes.

Jigsaw could teach you to appreciate CC
