Re: Unlimited Wait-Lists for Freemiums

What if there were a preferred game/tournament game that needed to be joined while you had more pending games than active slots? It would be difficult and confusing to code in a selection for this, and it may confuse new members on the "need" to buy premium

If a freemium risks taking his last ...

You're wrong.

I had a game where I had the choice.

I chose to sacrifice the game points to preserve my self respect; I took the turn and nuked myself. For me, that was the right choice.

However, to make things less intimidating to newcomers, there needs to be a "Conquer Club Lite" feature, which would be the default setting for fremiums and paid memberships for the first 90 or 120 days. There can be a setting for advanced options if a paid member wishes for them. I am just saying ...

The above has no reference to God in any manner whatsoever. It is, however, a definition, which in turn is an axiom, which is assumed to be the case because I just defined it that way.

Re: Atheistic morality


I'm not seeing the 'proof' that human conscience derived from God. A bunch of old scrolls from a particular group of people who believed in a particular deity doesn't confirm that conscience came from God.

If you consider what is usually taken for proof, it's often, "documentation."

I can objectively defend that preference in that, sour usually contains little to no sugar and will not necessarily contain fats.

That happens with random placement, probably much moreso than it would happen if players had to alternate picking a region.

My general rule about maps would be:

Add a little bit of color (red for premium or blue for freemium) to the sword (major) rank so it is easier to tell the difference

If these special circumstances are allowed, then other maps with bombards or can't-escape options such as Arms Race should be allowed too.

Similarly, American Civil War has special ...
