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?

[reFORMING] [COMPETITIVE] Churchill's War Cabinet

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 ...

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 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.

Re: Account Sitting

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.

Re: Account Sitting

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.

Re: Account Sitting


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 ...

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.

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

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

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