Well here goes another attempt

In. Worf please.

I see from your sig you have been in it before, probably whilst I was away.

Do you know roughly when it stopped being active?

In despite being in the UK. If therer are more europeans wanting in and this is well attended I will consider doing an earlier one for the europeans.

Four. Nearly caught up to you.

I would be interested in reviving the CWC subject to demand, along similar lines to the original clan.

Although this is to be a competitive clan, we also aim to have a place where British players can quickly and easily arrange games with people in their own time zones.

We do not insist that this ...

Come on Mr Dufresne, you know you want to Game 6483294

I'll have some of that!

In the words of the famous Churchill. Ohhh yes. Might be a little on the early starting side for me, but my work allows me to be somewhat flexible.

I do not think freemiums can play though due to the restrictions on Speed games--sorry

I am no longer a tightwad. I was just waiting a couple of ...

I don't think I ever had the pleasure of playing you before spending the last two years away from the site, mainly cos I hate esc.

So maybe we could do eachother a favour and you could host a classic esc game which I will be happy to lose onand you can join what looks to be a real mother, Hive on ...

From what people are saying, it sounds like the assumption is that only a restricted form of the first option is likely to be implemented. If that is the case, then the current method of account sitting shouldn't be automatically disallowed. I think it should be left up to the players on an ...

I (despite being famously non-religious) usually do give up something for Lent, just to tone up the willpower muscles. It's often not a food thing, 'cos I do all the cooking - so if for instance I gave up cheese, I'd either have to deny it to the family (at least in cooked things) or make a ...

All I can find on this is a competition in Australia where big dudes toss dwarves, to see who can throw dwarves the farthest. That can't possibly be right.

ROFL, I really think that would be more fun, but I was refrring to our annual tossing of pancakes, or as the cunning marketing department ...

To further add to this think of account sitting as being a good neighbor. You see your neighbor has the garden hose running and water is spilling everywhere, into the street etc. Obviously someone forgot to turn it off. You walk over and turn it off. Later on you tell your neighbor about it and ...

[quote="Bruceswar]"There is such a thing called real life and in real life, shit happens that is out of our control. The idea behind account sitting is to keep people from missing turns. This is what has been taking place already. No need to fix what is not broken.

Any new system would cause more ...

It would not work in many cases. I would say at least 50%(just a guess) of the account sitting that happens is last minute and really unplanned. So you use any means possible to get the turns taken or someone bust in and takes them.

IMHO having a system in place just for people who have an ...

Think about this... Your internet goes out at say 9 am on the weekend. You have turns coming up, so you do what anybody else would do. In your case, you call up owen and ask him to sit. With the system you mention this would not be possible as you did not ask him to sit and did not set him as your ...

I remember when the CWC was where it was at, and you could get a RT most evenings seeing as they were mostly in the same time zone.

Happy "tossing" Day one and all.

Over 300,000 members and 4 years on CC and this has yet to happen to a single member. I think we can write this off as not gonna happen. At the very least not likely to happen. If you ask someone to house sit for you, and you come home robbed, how would you feel? Likely very crappy as you find out ...

These 2 were not victims... they were guilty of account sitting abuse. Neither were banned for their actions.

SkyT was playing 3 accounts in triples

Maxatstuy was sitting many accounts daily, when he felt like it. (He later got site banned for other stuff on top of this)


So these 2 do not ...

I guess I would liken this to handing out a house key. I wouldn't hand out my key to just anybody. Those who loan me theirs? Trust me enough to walk their dog while they are away. The players I have given out my "key" to I have played games with over the six months I've been here. And those who ...

You must be one of those who never trust anybody. For the other 99% of us who do, this works great as it sits.

I do trust people, I just don't make the same mistake twice. Please keep the assumptions seperate and keep the discussion to the facts.

I guess I should add the only 2 times I can ...
