Too bad there is no game option one can select when constructing a game that disallows ALL chat during the game among players. If there were, that is the pure form of the game, the true test of skill I would opt for.
As it is, CC gives rating benefits to game chat cheaters that makes ratings all but meaningless as a measure of skill. Rating points now go to the best verbal manipulator, not the best strategist. Case in point: Alex Everard. For that reason I now quit CC. Bye.

Okay Bub, let's clear one thing up. Would you class "Verbal Manipluation" aside from strategy? As far as I can see, that's actually a very clever form of strategy.
Maybe you should up your Verbal Manipulation game, as it sounds like you're just pissed off you suck at it.

CC is based on Risk, a classic board game. And we all know the "purest" way to play any board game is in COMPLETE AND UTTER SILENCE. NOBODY SAYING A DAMN THING AS THREE OR MORE OF US PLAY A GAME WHILE SAT AROUND A TABLE TOGETHER.
Does it sound any more stupid yet?
Bollocks.

It seems you struggle enough as it is, why make it true skill?

i'm sorry, but i remember when we played the board game RISK, there was always talk between the players... truces, alliances, threats, etc... so, how is game chat any different than the verbal banter that occurs across an actual table/board game? i don't see this...-Jésus noir
risk board game fight. dice bitching in real life?!!! ha!!

It's even better if you can't even see the other players. All moves are sent to a central player who is the only one to arrange the map.

Verbal manipulation is an important part of strategy. Evidence: every war ever fought.

Did the mod/hacker/uberdouche own their deletes. Surely not another case of police state moderation by faceless fascist bigots. We enforce the rules, according to our own interpretation. No you can't read those rules and guidelines. What you payed to play? Sorry your stupid Waiting for an explanation......... Speaking of waiting, Samuel Beckett play about same is being "reimagined" should be interesting. Though maybe nothing has been changed.

No admission from the mod/drool donor that fucked this up. So how do we open up an e-ticket about the abuse of power and stupidity that has gone on here.

By the way, no one should expect a response from the OP. He's sat in a corner somewhere by himself silently fuming about how unfair we all are for discussing his rant.
Bollocks.
