Conquer Club

-----------A BULLSHIT RULE THAT MANY MEMBERS DON'T KNOW.
-----------This is not the fault of THE CURRENT HIGH COMMAND...But they could do something about it...
-----------So while looking in C and A...A member was sitting for another...While sitting in the same game...I don't know about that part being KOOL... But if the players were told in game chat...It could work...
-----------DURING THIS THOUGH...This player was told of a RULE...If someone leaves for more than 30 days...Their account becomes dead...(But if someone takes their turn,will they still show up on the score board?)...
-----------This player account sitting should be held in high regards for keeping sportsmanship and fair play alive and well...Not be dragged through the mud. BY A (LACK)luster rule...Yes,I said it.
-----------What kind of a bullshit rule...Would promote deadbeating...Now I take all my turns. I don't really play outside of the public pool...BUT THOSE CLAN AND TOURNEY GOERS SHOULD BE PISSED...I am in The Great War...RACE TO THE SEA...I am sick of people ahead of me getting free wins. Because someone left...While I fight for every point...
-----------IF SOMEONE CAN GET SOMEONE TO TAKE THEIR TURNS...So,they don't screw the games up...WHY SHOULD THERE BE A TIME ON THAT...What if you were in the ARMY had games going on...Went on a 90 day mission...etc...etc???...WHY SHOULD PLAYERS NEEDING AN ACCOUNT SITTER AND THOSE WILLING TO SIT...BE BOGGED DOWN...NOT TO MENTION OTHER MEMBERS PLAYING IN THOSE GAMES...BY A BULLSHIT RULE...THAT COULD RUIN A GREAT GAME THAT COULD BE ONGOING...
-----------I thought the subscription was the worst thing on C.C....THIS ACCOUNT SITTING FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS RULE...JUST TOOK THE #1 BULLSHIT SPOT
-----------I still can't believe Conquer Club has a rule against fair play and sportsmanship... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

Against fair play and sportsmanship?

So you think its ok for someone to disappear, and have a much better player sitting for them for an indefinite period of time?
Hell, somebody could start a tournament, disappear, and have someone else finish and win the tournament for them? Thats proper sportsmanship, allowing someone else potentially much better than the player winning tournaments for them? Thats fair to who?

At some point, its no longer "that player" playing. The line was drawn at 30 days and after that, you have to get subbed out of a tournament etc and all games finished up.

-------1)Not everyone is here to WIN,WIN,WIN...But to play and have fun...
-------2)Like,I said...what if the Army or something sent them away for a while...
-------3)Like I said,I've had people leave...give free wins to others...I wish someone else could have battled those people I'm chasing...Instead of a free wins...HOW IS THAT FAIR???
-------4)How about regular games...the public pool...There have been some games that have lasted for over five years...I have been in a few lasting months and months...No one in mine missed a turn though...Made for some great games...OH! YEAH ICE...NO ONE GOT ANYTHING FOR WINNING EITHER..BUT THE SATISFACTION OF WINNING...I didn't win any...I came in 2nd in one.3rd in another...For me it was about Moral Victories and finishing with pride...I am sure the majority on the site...Feel the same way...Have the same amount of sportsmanship as I do...They can police themselves... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)... ......TYPICAL HIGH COMMAND STANCE...DEFENDING A BULLSHIT RULE TO THE DEATH...HAVE YOU SEEN THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS LATELY...THE TIME FOR OUTDATED RULES ARE OVER ...LESS PLAYERS...LESS RULES...

Account sitters shouldn't exist. Just miss turns and move on with your fucking life. You are brain dead if you think turns on this site are important. Anyone with over 80% turns taken needs to get a fucking job and start hanging out with their kids more.

You have 97% turns taken at the moment...

Once again, irony has sailed over your fluffy little head lambikins.

Turn-sitting is allowed so that people who are on vacation for a couple weeks don't come back to find they have lost all their games.

Someone who's away for a month is not likely just on vacation. He's probably lost interest in the site. He might come back one day or he might not, but it's ridiculous to keep his account active just on the chance that he might come back one day.

Sigh... would it help you if I put a smiley face next time to alert you to the fact that I wasn't being entirely serious?

Back tracking after the fact does not help your cause. Wake me up when you are sober.
Owen remember even the cutest puppy grows up to view faeces as both a snack and a coat conditioner!

Nothing like putting some time and thought into a alternative solution for what you say is a BS rule.

I also think you lose some credibility when you say others wins aren't earned but your are.

One question. How is it fair play and sportsmanship when you are not playing the person whose name is in the game?

--------FIRST you don't have to tell me to take this topic HERE IN THE CCD/GD...in a PM...THAT IS WHAT I WAS TELLING THOSE IN C and A to do......DUH!!!
--------NOW as to your first Q...How is a win earned when someone turns freemium???...They can't play...But they get matched up to a person...Who then gets a free win...Where I have to fight someone still playing in the next round of play...
------As to playing a person who is not the person...THE ACCOUNT SITTER HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO HAPPEN...THAT'S HOW...You either have no sitter at all...Or unlimited sitting...There are a lot of military people on C.C. Like I said...but keeps being passed over...What if some of them need a sitter ,because they are sent on a real life mission? ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

Yes, and those of us with class choose not to use that, because it's unsportsmanlike. If you want to take advantage of shitty rules that reward the lowest common denominator, you can go right ahead, but some of us prefer to play with honor and earn our victories by ourselves or not at all.

Honour? From someone that can't find the caps key, and believes that emoticons are letters of the alphabet. Surely you jest delusion fan of a failure team.

I think it's just a matter of where one draws the line. Admittedly the vast majority of holidays are no more than two weeks, but I have colleagues with families in other countries who disappear for 3 weeks or even a month at a time. You also have the issue of serious illness.
The problem then comes that if you allow for 5 weeks, there will be someone away for 6, and so on. I think sitting for 30 days is a reasonable practical limit; given the alternatives of deadbeating, turning neutral, ending the game for all and bots, I see sitting as the least bad solution to keep games going and get people to return.

Someone needs to step away from the Crack Pipe =/
