Theory: Rational Playing ruined RISK (and Conquer Club)

[Bernie Sanders]

Bernie, in order to be the man, you have to beat the man.

why does everything have to be about the black jesus in these forums?! and let's not give BERNIE ideas about whipping me!!

Toby, only on the battlefields at CC

Football was the easiest comparison i could make. I wanted to reference a championship fighter going against somebody ranked in 41-50 in the rankings. But I wasnt sure if you follow boxing or UFC.

Either way, you made a post under a thread about what ruined risk/CC. A post about high ranks playing against each other. If we are over reacting, what were you getting at with your post?

If its a high ranks privilege to play who they want, why bring it up in this thread?

I'm just trying to understand, that's all.

Stick with your football analogy, it may be your strong point.



or, maybe not...

Not sure why you are taking this as a serious attack on you? Did check out your games though and it appears you predominately play high ranking players and avoid playing low ranking players.

Thank you for proving my argument.

You're attacking high ranking players, so yes, I feel concerned, not that I feel that you were attacking me directly.
And actually I don't see how you can say I am predominately playing high ranking players, except if you consider high ranking players to be everyone above your rank maybe ?
I could prove you wrong in a matter of minutes, but I don't care and I am not the subject.
I only think that what you were saying in your previous post is total bullshit, it's smthg I've read before on the forum, and I feel like when someone is saying smthg so completely wrong, it might be interesting to let them know that it's wrong.

Anyway, how ranking players not playing people like you ( not really happening but doesn't matter) is an issue ? High ranking players represent less than 5% of CC population.

Relax, not attacking, but pointing to what I see on the games played here. Bullshit or not, the reality is in front of us.

It's your privilege to play who you want and I'm not arguing that.

Bernie, you really are getting it all wrong here. For a start, Don starts open casual and speed games for anyone to join yet most low ranks would be deterred from joining because they don't want to get pummeled. Out of all the "high ranks" you could accuse of cheap play or tactics, you've gone to the polar opposite in the scale.

Team games aren't farming. Do you find it surprising that the best teams tend to include high ranks? I play team games more than anything else and regularly have open public games for anyone to join. Moreover, in clans it is impossible to control what rank will join against you as well.

Not accusing you of anything. Not sure of the stats of low ranking players being scared of playing higher rank players, as opposed of high ranking players fearing of losing more points to lower rank players.

I know you're not, it's just easier to use myself as an example rather than anyone else, for obvious reason.

It depends what you consider a high rank. I would say 2500+ roughly.

I have only played CC since around Sept. 2015, and I'm only a corporal. I do though try to seek higher rank players in games, as I think I would learn better from their experience.

Eventually I'll go premium, so I can play in tournaments.

I'd play doubles with you if you'd communicate and discuss.

Let me get a free game open and I'll take you up on your offer.
