Conquer Club

I start a lot of Manual deployment games and although I have nothing against Newbies playing in all games (we were Newbies once) - I am increasingly getting annoyed that when you come to the first stage of the game some Newbies have no idea that
going all out in one push of a button they ruin not just your game (that you have to carry on playing for days) but the rest of the players in that game, is there no way that CC administrators could some way communicate to Newbies that this is not the essence of Conquer Club and that strategy or diplomacy is the way forward that Conquer Club intended. Fair enough once the game has been established then sometimes it is necessary to take a chance to gain the other persons spoils and maybe the rest of players but in no way can you hope or expect to eventually win or gain favour by ruining a game that most players have joined to play a game of strategy and not stupid blind luck. I know there will probably will be some wise comments about this post but essentially this is not just my opinion but a lot of disgruntled players who play to win not just to "chug" along because of some Newbies actions who think it is a laugh. Thank You

There is actually a way to use this to your advantage. I actually prefer 8 man manual games for this reason.

there is a lot of strat. to placing your troops. If there is a nubster sometimes ill sandwich in, but usually ill deploy far away counting on him mowing through others for me.

i won 3 -- 8 man esc games manual not 1 hour ago... You also have to be careful about being in a territory highly coveted by noobss. Take classic map manual.. if you have a 1 in aussie with 2 other noobs... LOL NEVER DEPLOY THERE. They will crash and ruin all for a bonus.

I think if you put more thought into manual you will see the inherent advantages.. most people here are like your initial thoughts though and stay away from it.
