Could Some Body Tell Me Why?

Postby ISN2 on Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:36 pm

Why?

:arrow: Why moving troops from somewhere to somewhere else is named Reinforce, but everybody calls it Fort?

:arrow: Why the things you get at end of your turn are named Spoils, but everybody calls them Card?

:arrow: Why all people call Troops, Army?

:arrow: Why when you buy Premium for first time and you start playing around, you lose a lot of points?

:arrow: Why all players complain about dices and rolls? If someone gets bad rolls so someone obviously should get good rolls, so how's that all players think they get bad rolls here? Where are the good rolls?

:arrow: Why a 3 players game always ends with fight between 2 of players that are losing?

:arrow: Why in start of games everybody says good luck to others but in the heart is wishing that their rolls suck and if it don't and rivals get good rolls, then they use 4 letter words such as SH_T, F_CK and so on and complain about their luck? Weren't them self who was saying good luck?

:arrow: And finally, why in end of games everybody says good game, even if it was not a good game?

Army and card are RISK terms, and this site "is not associated with RISK or Hasbro in any way" but people still use those terms. And it's because fort is easier than reinforce?

You play a lot more games with a lot more gametypes which you're usually not familiar with

People don't understand what random means.

What?

Courtesy. inb4 high and mighty people say "I don't say good luck because I know it's a lie". It's the internet. I could say "I hope someone beats you up" to a random stranger and it obviously carries no weight

:arrow: And finally, why in end of games everybody says good game, even if it was not a good game?


Courtesy, again.

My best answer for this is, people are stupid. You find the right people and this won't happen.

Good question. I say hf (have fun) sometimes because I don't think gl is as sincere.

it used to be Fortify on the game, but recently changed to Reinforce to move away from the terms used in a board game...

It was hardly 'recently'---I think the changes to Conquer Club unique terms was the beginning of 2009 or so. :D

I started playing here a few weeks ago, I was not playing in this site, I just registered 4 years ago (when I don't even remember) but when I came here to play some week ago, while I was registering I notified that I had already registered here because it said my email is already in use!

since the 2nd post awnsered most of your questions, ill stick to the one unawnsered

ISN2 wrote:Why?

Because one player will take the lead, the other 2 parties will have to cooperate to kill the game leader, and they will often do so rather then kill themselves.. So once the former gameleader is killed the fight remains between the remaining players.


:arrow: Why in start of games everybody says good luck to others but in the heart is wishing that their rolls suck and if it don't and rivals get good rolls, then they use 4 letter words such as SH_T, F_CK and so on and complain about their luck? Weren't them self who was saying good luck?

This is why i always say Have Fun instead of good luck. fun is more pleasant then luck to all players
