My best partner here on CC just hung it up. I met him here and we were pretty successful in doubles, trips, and quads.
Because of his retirement...or upcoming retirement as we still have a couple of tournaments to finish, I am now considering a clan.
I don't like to have more than 8-10 games going at once as I take my CC games a little to serious. I also spend to much time here all ready.
Here is a list of what I think are my strengths:
1. I absolutely hate to lose! I am very competitive.
2. I like complicated maps. When I find a new map I enjoy, i like to play it until i think i have it mastered. My favorite maps right now are Conquer Rome and Kings Court II.
3. Team Games: I like to communicate with teammates in team games. We communicate a lot by email instead of just on the chat. we typically discuss every move and come to a consensus before each player goes.
4. Fog of war. I enjoy fog of war and take tons of screen shots and use them throughout the game.
5. I like bigger maps. The bigger the map, the more important strategy is I feel.
6. 1 v 1 games. i would have to check my record, but i think it would be a pretty good winning percentage.
7. Trench games. I have recently started playing some trench games and like that it minimizes luck, thus strategy is more important.
8. I like being part of a team. I grew up playing sports and was lucky enough to compete in collegiate athletics. I am a good team player but also enjoy individual accolades.
9. I have a 3 year old that sometimes pushes the "assault" button during my attacks....how can the dice go bad when a 3 year old is the one running the mouse? this is my secret weapon and i use him when needed.
10. my wife no longer tells me to quit playing CC. i have broke her and this site is no longer a problem in our relationship. she accepts the game...but i can't say she likes it.
Here is a list of some of my weaknesses:
1. Escalating games. I hate them. I feel like it is all based on luck, but I know it is not since I see people with very high scores here that play almost all escalating games. i just have not figured that setting out yet and I don't enjoy them.
2. Time commitment. I am pretty busy outside of CC. I spend more time than I should all ready here.
3. Assasin, Terminator games, and unlimited reinforcements. i have limited experience on them. i prefer chained reinforcements but do play some unlimited in team games, especially quads
4. freestyle. i have no interest in playing this setting at this time.
5. I am competitive and take this way to serious. i like playing with people that are the same way. i get upset with teammates that don't communicate and do their own thing.
6. I am clueless on a new map, especially one that is complicated. I learn best by just playing the map (and usually getting crushed,unless i play with someone that knows the map in a team game)....but I learn quickly and I study how people win and then formulate my own strategy. I typically have a good feel after one or 2 games on a hard map and then I like to try my strategy and master the map. i have never been a person that can read something and then do it...i need to "do" to learn.
7. the "shift key". i hate to use it, thus i rarely capitalize letters. you would have to get used to that...
8. i only speak english as i am an American. doesn't everyone speak english?
I am sure I have not listed all my strengths and weaknesses. let me know if I would be a good fit for your clan. I can't say I am set on joining one, but this is the closest I have ever been to joining one. i like playing team games and i like playing with people i can count on. life is stressful enough without someone going rogue in a quads game...
