Strip me of my points and rank ... please

I'm becoming an obsessive-compulsive basket case ](*,)

There ought to be a CC Twilight Zone where people play strictly for fun - no ranks and points.

If this is more off the wall than I realize, I'll eat a bug.

abuse with the higher ranked players who would just play n00bs to up their win rate and not have to risk losing points.

Who cares about win rate? Playing noobs free of risk, or anybody for that matter, would be fun... I think

join some public games or set them up and you can play all the noobs you want. if you lose, you will lose about 40 to 50 points a time though. :lol:

i still hope one day this will be possible, it would probably have to have some limitations because of resource issues, but it would be nice to have a game where all were equal, and the only prize was winning itself

Well yes, for me that was a fresh start because to be honest I think "hatchman" as we know him here is at the end of his run. I'm tired of losing. My recent record has been abysmal.

But even over there, all games have points and rank on the line. The difference is that my fortunes have been better over there, and the reason for that? The ability to set a minimum point level for those who join my games. I'm also a non-premium over there. So it's the perfect recipe: Keep a lid on the number of games being played (4), and be sure to invite players who are only a little behind in points, or equal to me, or way ahead of me.

If you could pull the plug on my premium account, that might do the trick. I'm serious about this at least.

A good percentage of players especially singles players go through what you're going through Hatch - unless you're the top players like Blitz,Math or Comic. Even Blitz goes through it. Ive talked to countless others about the same thing..... constant dice problems. Perhaps you should take a break from those 6 man esc games. Competition is tough and so many things have to happen to actually book a win in those. Play some trips, doubles or even better, try 5 man to get your confidence back then jump back in the saddle again. Your game count is low with a good win percentage and you obviously enjoy playing the game. I mean who likes to lose but we all lose more than we win :D

HAHAHA, I wasn't even going to go in this thread. I just thought I would skim through it real quick, then I see hatch loving on comic. I think the real thing here is that Comic WANTS hatch to miss him. :lol: :?

Thanks Scott - a break sounds good, or at least reducing active games drastically.
