Without BOB, CC Sucks

by **bedub1** on Wed Feb 29, 2012 4:52 pm

I have known for a very long time that everything useful and intelligent that people wanted to happen to CC would never happen, and so people created the useful utility called Bob. It is becoming more and more apparent to me every day. Which leads to this question:

Without BOB, would you still be on CC?

by **Uncle Death** on Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:01 pm

I rarely use it.

by **tec805** on Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:12 pm

No BOB, no fun.

A month ago I logged onto CC on my laptop that I hadn't installed BOB, clickies, map rank and what-not and couldn't believe how clumsy and backwards the interface felt.

I've never used BOB or clickies
and I'm still here.

If you can't understand a map without a script holding your hand you should stick to 2-piece jigsaw puzzles.

Never used it

by **sherkaner** on Wed Feb 29, 2012 5:32 pm

It saves time (and sometimes it prevents missing certain bonusses), but I have no problem playing without it.

Lol at this.

It helps the fun. Some of the new maps (!!) are virtually indecipherable without Bob for me.Too many dead ends, too many neutrals and too many unclear borders.

Thank you Sherkaner for looking after BOB.

I'd probably only manage a 26% win rate without it.

Never used it, never will :evil:

by **Gilligan** on Wed Feb 29, 2012 6:58 pm

Don't have it. I can understand 95% of maps just fine.

Borders and bonuses are something that should be the responsibility of the player - not a machine.

There is no BOB for an actual board game.

by **ViperOverLord** on Wed Feb 29, 2012 8:49 pm

Inb4 the move.

by **chapcrap** on Wed Feb 29, 2012 8:59 pm

I only use if for snapshots. Otherwise, I have it turned off always.

i'm old, i learned how to count and read map legends in school. BoB is for weak minded individuals and stone cold cheaters... in before the lock...-el Jesus negro

It can be reallly helpful when you play CC drunk and miss many of the obvious things would wouldnt normally miss, and the confirmations are helpful, almost saying "hey stupid, do you really want to deploy on alcatraz?" Other than that I just use it for snapshot so my teammates can see what they've missed in between turns.

by **tkr4lf** on Wed Feb 29, 2012 10:33 pm

Yeah, I pretty much use it just for the snapshots. It is nice having some of the information that you would normally need to read the log for displayed right above the log, but it's not like that is necessary since I can always just read the log myself.

It's not something I would miss terribly if it were to go away, but it does have its uses.

I used something similar to bob back in 2006 I think, for like a week. Then I decided I would just play without addons.

BoB sucks, its for peps who cant play a game with out cheating codes aswell, the game and the fun lies in reading the map with your one eyes and not having a computer doing it for you, its stupid.

Funny, I thought people were allowed to decide for themselves where the "fun lies" in playing a game. I enjoy the playing a game decently with my friends part. And the winning part is pretty nice. Though from your rank I guess we disagree on the winning part.

amen, Flapcake... BoB is for cheaters and people not smart enough to figure out maps or count terits on their own... many people declare how much their win percentage went up when some of the BoB features were added to the CC script, that just shows how dumb many users are... if you can't see a bonus or count on your own, go play Speed Sudoku on that other site run by the turtle.. oh wait, that involves math too@!!!-el Jesus negro
