Look, I understand there are those on this site that cheat by starting 2nd accounts. They play themselves or team up against others in the same game. I get it, that is cheating and should not be allowed. But there are also players on here who consider it cheating to be a high ranking player and play a lot of low ranking players. I am a Brigadier, and I have 9 family members and several IRL friends that play here on CC. None of them are ranked higher than a liet. and most are cooks and cadets. We play a lot of private team games vs just ourselves which puts me in a bad position. There are those who will say I am cheating to continue to play lower ranked players, and since we play teams the players that get stuck with me, win almost nothing if we do win.
I don't feel it is fair to say I can't play with my friends and family nor is it fair to my teammates to give up points just because I am ranked higher, so my solution is simple. I am going to start a 2nd account. My 2nd profile is going to be named MissionStatement, and I will NEVER play against myself or play in any game together. My 2nd account is just for games vs my family and friends. I make this notice to make it clear that I am not cheating and you can go back at any time and see that I have never played against myself in any game. I am not trying to cheat, but trying to be up front about everything. I am a paying member to this site and feel this is the best way to address this situation. Thanks for reading.
