My oldest son Demitri loves to play also but I do not believe he has created an account here and prefer the Online game Rune Scape which he plays with Anton and his friends since my son is 2 weeks older he gives his younger uncle a hard time about all wins. I have another son Named Marsell he is 9 and not quite good enough to play with his brother but loves to play Castle Risk more then traditional.

With this all said I wanted to get the introduction and basic Background out of the way so I could delve deeper into the minds of the rest of the CC universe. I have found that I get along with 98% of the people here but that 2% drive me nuts. I am hoping that this thread can be a sounding board where with interaction on a basic postive level maybe some of the factions can get to understand each other and there backgrounds and start to bridge the scisms that has us at time at each others throats.

Since we are online people have a tendancy to lash out and present themselves in manners that they would not normally present themselves in the real world. If we can bring back some of the human factor of player intimacy(as far as basic knowledge of an individual) I feel we may become a less abrasive CC. If this thread catches I will engage and share more with those that share and are interested.

Well I hope this thread can eventually be the lngest running thread on the site. I look forward to learning more about everyone friend and foe...
this is a cover up thread since you were busted as a multi and now the mods are giving you a second chance by you pleading that your second account is your "girlfriend". So you follow up with this post. im not fooled for a second by this. I thought it was added bonus how you speak of your secret alliance partner "brother" too. it really touched my heart.

People Like you are the reason we do not play together and I rarely post

Unusually dreadful syntax there from you DM. Were your hands trembling and your mind on other things when you typed, perchance?

Actually that was deliberate... I don't know why but I thought it'd be kind of fun to say 'quite that better' as if it was proper English. Parroting the original poster I guess.

The point I'm trying to make is that I wasn't bashing it over the thought of molesting family members, nor over thoughts of elaborately designed eight-door basements.

Despite JR's accusations and DM's colourful commentary, let me add a little, just for the sake of "it's here and I'm ending my shift for the day"

I got into CC because I saw a real life, physical, printed-on-paper poster for CC...I know...real life CC advertising! :shock:

(things have changed since then)

I got involved, waaaay back when and got sucked in because I'm a nerd at heart and am compensating for something by trying to dominate the world, I'm sure.

I was the first person to sign up for premium the day it came out and havn't looked back since.

At some point, because I had a background in being a mod and offered to help lack set up a mod team. We agreed to a temporary "help you out" arrangement...that was 2 years ago yesterday...damn. #-o

Anyhoo, I have all but stopped playing games (not enough time because I spend all my time here working) but will join most any non-team game I'm invited to. I still love it, got worse rather than better and sill love playing on a real board (if anyone will play me that is).

The dice are random :-p

I understand I am a moderator on another site called micwar a christian rap site. I am trying to recruit the owner of that site to play over here but he prefers fighting games and little patience for board games lol. BUt thank you for keeping this going.

Hi, my name is Decoulombe

Most of my internet friends call me "The Doctor," Dec, or Doc, but thats just a coincidence. Birthday is April 29th.

I currently reside in Los Angeles, CA, Earth, Sol, Universe

I work at a Tax Firm accounting office, construction, school, a fast food restaurant. and charities. I also run a few websites and forums for certain charities and one for my brother. Some of my talents include professional debates, public affairs, communication, counseling, reprimanding, certain writings, etc. I also write a little PHP and CSS, do networking, electricity, all that good stuff, making me an official "nerd."On my spare time, I like helping CC whenever I can and currently am working on a project with the Colour Committee. I'm a proud premium member, and love playing both risk and chess, both on the board and online.

Hello! My name is Jennifer. I'm married to the greatest man in the world and I have the most beautiful daughter in the world! Our neighbor actually told us about CC one night. And after watching my husband play for about 2 weeks, I wanted to see what all the fun was about so I joined. It is definitely addicting! I hadn't played risk since I was 12! I just hate when you get in a game with a bunch of disrespectful people or people that just complain. But other than that, I love sports, any "word" board game, food, church, spending time with my family, hanging out with my mom, and just enjoying everything life has to offer! Hope to run into some of you in a game!

HOLY CRAP A GREENIE!

Anyways, I'm probably the only guy on this site from the state of Wyoming, 18 years old, recently finished up my first year of college, been doing martial arts for several years now, it will soon be my 1 year anniversary since coming to this site, have enjoyed playing strategy games in general for about 6 years, and these bright colors of the forum still are too bright!

Insert your left hand index finger into your right hand nostril, rotate it one hundred and eighty degrees, then remove it.

That's a greenie.

The thing you missed was her saying "What's a Greenie?".

She then said "I totally fancy that DM guy, he's well buff".

Hello all.

I joined the site about a month ago after my roommates introduced me to it. After the first night of staring at the screen waiting for my next turn, I promptly joined premium. I'm still trying to get the hang of it as well as this forum idea.

I'm a recent college grad and now work as a lab manager. Yes I work with monkeys. Seriously, everyone I tell that to thinks I'm referring to children and while the they have similarities, there are obvious differences. You can't lock up children and the monkeys are much more rational. I spend my time reading and trying to get out of the lab at a decent hour as well as hoping that I don't get called every weekend. I'm single, no kids, and three pet mice (Milton and Tom and Dick Smothers). I'm heading off to school in the fall and hope to get into medical school the following year.

so great to know you guys better.

by **Mr_Adams** on Thu May 15, 2008 8:51 pm

To impatient to read the whole thread, so I read the first 5 (or so) posts.

Darn, Wiki says no mod jokes... so

I first started playing risk when my 7th grade math teacher had was teaching probability and had everyone make a board game that was probability related (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't start dice flaming on this comment people) and one person made a risk board game of the school. I loved it, and have taken every chance to play since then. So, here I am 3 years later, on CC. I found it in (GASP) a google search. I know, I'm a rarity here, but I actualy went out of my way to find CC. since then I've loved playing CC.

My favorite parts of CC are the Jesus freaks forums, the threads like this one, and the ever expanding selection of playing one of the great classic games of all time, risk.

Oh, and if you ever play against me and I bring up some random topic, it might help you to know that I'm cursed with minor (and by minor, I mean MAJOR when I'm not trying hard to pay attention) A.D.D.

OK, I was introduced to this site by my son Doug,"THE ARMY" ; I have 6 kids, and 3 of the boys and I love war games. We like chess, CIV IV, Diplomacy ,Axis and Allies, and most competitive games- even poker. I'm an Internal Medicine Doc, in Upstate NY, and like playing here ....it's very addictive. Will likely become an Official "Premium", but I like the silver color better...
