If they are playing from or on a public computer they might not have the option to install it.

Indeed. Although, it's a little bit ridiculous - playing Freestyle on a public computer that you don't have regular access to pretty much means you're not going to win anyway ;P

Oh, I know the perfect solution to offsetting the advantages of fs clickies, faster puter processors, and faster internet.

CC needs to buy everyone a computer, hard-wired into the CC gameplay system, using one single type of internet access - perhaps buy its own satellite, and only those puters CC purchased get that special access code. Initial cost of CC membership would probably need to be in the neighborhood of $100,000 and no more free memberships, but the advantages are, admin headaches about the "unfairness" of certain options go down. 8-)

I had clickies installed, but did not use them; they did not interface well with my computer and I did not like the slug effect it created. I can freestyle and speed-play without them, but generally I won't win except in team games.

Options other than the one I suggested that would totally renovate how CC operates :lol:

are for those who can't use clickies to join fs (or speed) games with players you've verified do not use clickies; stop playing fs; buy a new computer that you are sure will interface well with clickies installed; get better internet access to improve your speed. (I hear it now: I can't afford a puter/mom controls what internet access/blah blah) bottom line is, you have the same options your opponents had; they found a way to get the options they wanted. Neither CC nor your opponents will limit you from pursuit of your options.

Are clickies an advantage? Yup. But not an "unfair" advantage - you are not forced to play fs against a player who has them.

Come now, if you've been around CC for any substantial length of time you'll know that people will just complain about something else. Like, "CC bought me a Windows PC but I'm a Mac guy." Or "Emmdizzle is closer to the satellite than I am."
