Conquer Club

do u tell people about this site?

I do, but I rarely come off looking very cool. Occasionally I'll mention it though and I'll discover a friend's inner geek when they start exclaiming how awesome it us that I play online Risk.

Sometime I'll attempt to share a CC anecdote with my husband, something like, "Fruitcake said the funniest thing, to which Owen humorously replied 'that's what the donkey said!'", but I usually just get a blank stare.

McGill one-liners are most easily related to non-CCers I've found. A testament to our universal common sense. Plus really, who hasn't been with Serbia's mom?

Always and I often invite my friends to join.

Now why would I go and tell the robots about one of my mind's last sanctums!? Are you crazy?

shoop76 and I converse almost every day about CC over the phone--we have even met each other in real life after meeting on CC. I have a few others I talk to about once a week. Then there is my family. Whenever I am at one of their homes I take a few moves. Most of the time they complain about why I am playing that game all the time.

Yes but nobody cares so I shut up .

I like being the only guy from Wyoming on here (the state, not the city in Wisconsin).

Hell no! I keep it as secret as my std's. I tell people I'm farming on facebook.

It makes for good pillow talk with jefjef.

Somehow I'm not able to convince people how awesome I am on CC, so I just let it go.

Me: Hey dude, you like RISK?
Friend: No I hate it.
Me: Oh.

No, I don't talk about it, except with int maybe, who introduced me to it

Only from time to time do I share an anecdote from CC with a friend of mine who knows I've been involved with this website for five years. But it is mostly in passing.

actually, while i was making love with my boyfriend the other day, he turned to me and said, "you are thinking about that stupid site again, aren't you!!" i replied, "shut up and put that burger king mascot head back on." true story...-the black KH

I actually loled at this owen, until you said the burger king mascot thing. Plz tell me you aren't sleeping with KH, I would lose all respect for you if you were.

Why? Any man would be lucky to get into KH's pants. That's where he keeps the coupons.

and the whopper [edit: whopper jr.]

Yes, as most friends enjoy games. So there are several RL friends & family on the site quietly lurking while I'm much more involved & vocal

I usually only mention it if I'm discussing creationists.

he he any ones in particular?

I occasionally talk about CC. Comes up every time someone asks my wife and I "so how did you meet?"
I frequently use CC memes, especially on Facebook. People think I'm crazy. Though - they pretty much think that whether I'm using memes or not.

And squishy - I haven't met anyone who hasn't.

In addition to the above, I also occasionally chat to my Mum about various goings on on the site, but other than that I don't tend to advertise the fact that I am an uber geek too much outside of CC - hanging around with Serbia tends to do that for me!

One of the household footmen saw cc on one of my computer screens recently and had the impertinence to ask me if I played risk.

I just pointed out that he should direct all conversation with me through the Butler, then had him sacked for his temerity.

LOL! That's how if goes, oftentimes, for me, also. I'd love to build the 1st Regiment out of adept Risk players and close friends, but, in reality, only a few people will ever actually join. Most have long gone... Real life priorities, they proclaim.

HighlanderAttack, I do that, too! It makes for interesting discussion when you're taking turns and the extended family is milling about, wondering why you've got to be on the "flipping computer."

In short, I talk about it all the time.

Wow Fruitcake you must have been in a fine mood to not have him flogged on the spot. What a gent you can be when you want to.
