contacting a player outside of the game

[a.sub]

i know this isnt the right format but i had a question about contacting a player outside of the game to sync playing times. i am currently in a triples freestyle game in which the opposing team syncs up so they all play at the same time. it gives them an unfair advantage since my team cannot do that (we are in different countries.) i do not know if this is against the rules but i think it should be because it IS giving them an unfair advantage, and it has been repeated.

The people in question are

if they are allowed to get away with this, can we start a forum where we post the names of ppl who do this so other ppl that dont want to deal with their near cheating style can put them on their ignore list?

this is not against the rules. It is however great strategy

indeed it is a briliant tactic. if you cant do it find people who can
i play trip freestyle with a dutch and a swede and we manage. we use msn or skype to communicate

[lozzini]

yer there is nothing wrong with it... it is another good tactic if yu can implement it

[greenoaks]

you and your team-mates are just poor team players.

playing at the same time to sync your strategy is just good playing. if you dont do it then you are putting yourself at the disadvantage. it is ok to contact players outside of the chat as well if they are your teammates. many successful teams are run on AIM or MSN

Another solution to your problem would be to avoid playing team games, or avoid playing freestyle, or both. Personally, I play here to relax, and I sometimes find freestyle to be too stressful when people time their moves in strange ways, and that's not fun. Also, if another player happens to have a faster computer than you do, it is an automatic disadvantage if you happen to be making your moves at the same time, especially if you're both taking action in the same area of the map.

I also don't like to play team games because I haven't found anyone on CC as intelligent as me or who can understand team strategy as well as I do, and when people on my team screw up, that can also be a little stressful.

I my opinion, CC should get rid of both options for all games.
