Well my Premium expires at the end of the month...

[WestWind]

And I'm going to let it.

I'm tired of playing a system that is simply no longer fun to play. Maybe it's truly random, I don't know, but it's simply not fun anymore. I did a little analysis of my own rolls a while back that showed how far I was from what would be considered a normal distribution, and it was WAY off. Unfortunately, I had to reformat my computer and lost the data I've gotten since then, but just based on what I've seen nothing has gotten better.

It might just be coincidence that I dropped 350 points since right about when more of the dice bitching threads started popping up about the new system. I really have no clue. All I know is that it's no longer fun to join a game and not be able to win a dice roll for 5-7 consecutive turns. No amount of strategy can compensate for that, and it happens very frequently for me.

Simply put, I'm not having fun anymore. So...that's enough for me. I'm not going to keep paying for a product that I'm not happy with. Maybe I'll do freemium games to see if anything changes, but we'll see. It was a fun 6-7 months before my "luck" turned to absolute shit, but now it's over.

BINGO the new dice system sucks. The game is no longer fun when luck determines the outcome of games instead of strategy. There is no strategy to account for luck.

Thanks for that useless little nugget. Sometimes less is more. Totally sucks when your mouth opens and the best you can come up with is ok. Neanderthals have had more intelligent grunts.

You actually could just not come back to the web-site but I doubt you could stand not saying something about every thread available for more than a day.

Common courtesy. If I'm not happy with a service and I'm discontinuing it, I feel like I should at least explain why. I'm not saying the administrators of the site are bad people or deliberately trying to rip people off, but that they might be becoming out of touch with what at least a good portion of the player-base on this site feels about the current system.

Also, if I left right now I'd drop out of the 5 games I'm currently in. Even if I'm leaving, that's pretty god-damn rude. Also, I'd like to keep my 99% turn completion rate.

Ok first thing the admins will not even notice your gone nor will they care (as they are full of themselves)

second they are in no way ripping people off intentionally or unintentionally

third there are maybe 100-200 active members who truly think the dice system is messed up that like less then 1% i think

I think if you play a game that is based on the rolls of dice then you better expect some losses. If not, why play? It's the premise of the game. You're taking risks. What an aptly named game.

I'd like to know where you got this figure from. I think dice satisfaction is something like 53% against and 46% for it

I never got that message. However, according to my profile:

Your Premium Membership is valid until 2011-01-31 14:42:04

So I have 5 fewer hours of premium than you :p

[legionbuck]

1. The house always wins in Vegas
2. The "dice" here would cause a riot in Vegas by the patrons who would see them as fixed.
3. Paying for a premium account with allegedly fixed dice makes no sense.

[L M S]

My premium expired earlier today and I was NOT going to renew because of the ridiculous dice generator and the fact that there are a few members of Team CC the need to be 'retired' in my opinion but then I read this............

Conquer Club? Surely you don't mean the Hasbro game that shall not be named.
