Manual Placement + Deploy (different style)

[JCKing]

While this may or may not have been presented before, I thought I'd bring it up myself.
Basically what would happen here is people would be able to choose their territories to place on. Fairly Simple.
Also instead of having a set number of troops to deploy, let people place as many men as they want on each territory. Maybe limit this to private games of course.

In other words what this would do is allow people, friends, relatives, etc, etc. to finish their real life games. I know I wasn't very clear in that right above. But that's the jist of it, allow people to place exactly the number of men they had on the real board on conquerclub in the exact same territories (just they'd be cities instead of countries). Anyway probably a dumb Idea or to hard but tell me what you guys think.

It'd also allow for an extra marketing pitch, when advertising. Something Like: Everyone that loves the game risk, has at some point had to quit early and never finish the game. Now with conquerclub you can re-create the scenario you had in the real life game you had been playing, and actually see who wins!!!

Lol How would this work though cause someone would def get an instant bonus. Also, how many could they pick at a time?

I'm not in favor of this suggestion.
You should make this private, true, but also somehow filter the games out of the CC-ranking system due to obvious reasons.

I like the idea of 'what if' scenarios', but it's not something i'm crying out for.

Not necessarily parker,
Basically have it programmed so whoever place last goes first. So then the people playing in their game that hadn't finished, can then design the game to be exactly how it was in real life. Of course this could create problems with multying but pretty much anything could, same thing with farming, and yadayadayada so on and so forth.
I just think this would bring in more people, if we marketed the idea. Because there are games that end up taking to long. Not necessarily take away from the points aspect. It'd make it more intriguing for people to come back if they won points from the game.
I've been on the business side of things, and I sort of know what would make repeat players or potential premium buyers.

It has potential, but doesn't sound like it would get a lot of action. I've played 2 games irl that we had to stop as there was no end to them, and we had custom rules with each game that are not possible within cc.. also the farming/multi problem is there as you mentioned. If it were to be placed in, sounds like each game would have to be reviewed upon completion.

Actually, to guard against point corruption, these games could be off the record (no points changed, no changes to win/loss record)

well, this would be a cool idea, but it would require a sort of practice arena to do it.... no score or stats could be recorded, because it would be insanely easy to manipulate...but it is possible to do it with many chess sites...but again...the idea needs a whole other component to cc first, so I doubt youll see it any time soon...and realistically never.

the idea also would create teaching opportunities too..but really....if a family really wanted to create their home game....and continue on.... It would be easy enough to just set it up that way with a few turns of play depending on the settings....not as easy, but I have no doubt people have done this before....or, just thrown away the home game, and played another 20 games in here, in the same amount of time.
