CC is declining again!

[riskllama]

I still like the idea of Happy Hour when all the speed games are free for just one hour a day. Get new blood around here and get people hooked.

this idea has some merit, HR - you should post it in suggs.

It's already there.

yes it is, due to my suggesting he post it there.

No, I posted it more than a year ago. If it's been reposted that's a needless duplication.

Posted start of May

5,900 down 100 in a week .... That Northern hemisphere spring kicking in,lockdowns easing along with the vaccine drive I reckon.
Taking into account the general user nationalities/locations it's probably the reason,I imagine we'll be below 5,500 by the end of the month,which is good covid wise but bad for cc.....i know my preference.

Ok,Ok, So I am no Nostradamus and/or an adept translator of his quatrains .. but not far off .... 5,637.

[Army of GOD]

is there any way to stabilize, or even, to reverse this long-term decline?

And please, do not turn this into a complaint about dice. that topic has been discussed ad nauseum.

CC looks and feels old to me. To save it you'd need to overhaul it imo

also, can it survive with just RISK games? idk, maybe. CC's heyday was when...2009? it had plenty of competition in the video game world so I think it could still do well. just needs a new coat of paint and some new brand invigoration

I agree. I was not here in 2009 and so I cannot address that issue.

I did look at another website for Risk in the past few days. It offers good graphics and special effects and TUTORIALS. BUT not the in-depth features (that perhaps I have not dug deep enough into) that CC offers. This to me means (partly) a great record of games played, to study them to learn how to play better. In addition, there are so many maps and so many options for game play.

5,569..snigger

You have a rather abnormal fixation and addiction to this number.

Hmmmm...intriguing.

[2dimes]

Hmmmm...intriguing.

Not really, he's just trying to cause trouble over your synonym for "SNICKER".

https://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/snicker

The variant you used seems less common in the US&A these days, where a few folks are going through things that could cause panic over your word. You might want to switch to SNICKER.

Example, "5,569...snicker"

The meaning is identical to what you wrote but it's less likely to cause problems on conquerclub this week.

You will of course need to be careful later, in case the Mars candy corporation gets upset about you using my recommended variation.

You are partly correct, 2dimes. That was the concomitant point (#4) I was making. The main points are 1) concern Davie.K's fetish about the number 69, 2) his term the "anal number" and 3) that connection to mrswdk. I went for the FOUR POINTS, Alex, not merely a single point.

[2dimes]

Maybe, you should be concerned with your own fetish for mrswdk.

Davie. K is from Puru. I think he was joking around about the number, hence the "snicker"... as opposed to having "a fetish." and I don't presume he was using anal the same way you and your friend mrswdk did either. It's possible, so I will defer to his response.

I never did find out what the screen name mrswdk meant. I think it might be an acronym for, or otherwise have something to do with a region, a city or a neighbourhood.. Possibly a place were there is a high number of British citizens of the U.K. gathered in or near Hong Kong.

When he first joined he was talking a lot about his time spent in China. A few of us were conversing about things relating to that such as riding around on scooters and his return from there. As far as I can tell those threads, were lost to the off topics forum reset mystery surrounding thorthoth that defeated the search function, that would be a rather long story in it's self.

We asked about the screen name. It was before everyone started calling him Mrs wdk and the accompanying Chinese girl shtick. He wrote something suggesting, if you had been to China you'd know what it stood for.

I asked around but unfourtunatly, China is a rather huge and diverse place, I never found anyone I knew that was from China or visited the right part, that knew.

I do not have a fetish with such things, numbers, or persons. I found mrswdk to be someone I would not want to be around in real life. As I already said, if you want to know about that person, I suggest that you ask others who have "spoken" or "chatted" with mrswdk as I had very little interactions, by intent, with that person.

[2dimes]

The main reason I wrote you had a fetish, was to help you see how unfair it is for you to accuse Davie.K of it.

...The main points are 1) concern Davie.K's fetish about the number 69, ...

He merely made a common pop-culture reference a few times. Less than five, I believe. Granted he did express lots of excitement but I presume that to be an important part of the joke.

Meanwhile who can count how often you write about a certain former member, who has been gone for quite a while now? Does Davie.K even know who you are talking about?

Sure you don't do it as much as Saxi, but here we are, you've done it yet again, as has occurred so many times before.

I should also ADD there are many very good Risk Players here on CC and THAT makes CC the place to be for really serious Risk players who want a challenge.
