Premium Secondary Accounts *Rejected*

[CryWolf]

Hey all,

I know that Conquerclub discourages secondary accounts, but I see no reason why a premium member can't have two. Now, just hear me out for a second...

I'm only a Lieutenant (and may be lower than that by the time you read this) but say for example if I was a colonel... I see a new map that looks pretty interesting or I see an interesting not so new map that I think I'd like to play. The only problem is, am I really wanting to risk say 100 points during the games it will take to develop a good strategy for this map?

What I'm suggesting is that premiums have the ability to "switch" to a second account such as [username]_test

This would allow more people to try out maps without so much risk and they could then develop a strategy and play it on their primary accounts.

What's to stop people from taking advantage of this?

An honor system? Apparently you haven't visited flame wars...

join a game private game against other high ranked players.
You risk losing to more skilled opponents, but you lose less points.
Thats what I try to do.

Or, just get good enough that losing 50 won't hurt you. thats me also.

also, would the other player lose points if they lose? would they win points if they win?

i agree for this one... i kinda wish i had a second account (freemium of course) because in my current account i plan TONS of different tournaments spanning many many styles of gameplay, i dont have much chance at keeping a good rating... and by good i mean captain or better, id like a second account to be able to focus on my strengths just to see how i could do on the score board

You take a chance, lose some points, but when you get good you win em all back. There.

I completely disagree. If it somehow improves gameplay, then post that, but if it's just so colonels and such can buff their scores, I disagree.

Everyone learns the new maps together. Might be a slight advantage to those who keep up with the map thread in the foundry and are more familiar with the map. CC is a one account only place, this'll never happen.
