Do you realise the irony in that statement, they are "players" i.e they are playing. Conquerclub isn't meant to be life, all it is is just people "playing" an online game and its meant to be for fun. When people become too competitive it ruins the concept of a game and just adds stress. Life is stressful enough without adding even more stress on a game website.

Yeah, when someone ruins a game for you, that is quite annoying, therefore sucking the fun out of it. If every game you played somebody suicided on you, I doubt you would be having fun either.

I get my fair share of idiots suiciding into me, but there are easy ways round that. Play more private games and tournament games. Nice use of hyperbole though and I'm sorry if you aren't having fun here.. I am.

not always, my swim team rarely wins a conference meet (we win everything else though) since we are in the best conference but we have one heck of a good time at our meets, you can tell since we cheer WAY more than the other team

I know, I was merely agreeing with Prankcall that the worst kind of players are the suiciders. I have plenty of fun because I prefer team games or 1v1, so suicides don't screw with the game.

I fear 1 vs. 1 games would lower my win rate of 39%... there's too much chance involved in 2-player games.

I'm out there just to have a fun, wreckless time (at least I had for the past two weeks) Soon, I may again change my mind and build my ranking again. Look at my profile. LOL

Sometimes losing pisses me off. Like when my 134 armies lost to a 1, and he cashed in for 85 and ran the board.... I mean seriously, what are the chances?

Dr_Demento · Post by **Dr_Demento** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 7:31 pm

points aren't important to me at all. Sometimes, I don't even play to win. When I used to play the board game, my goal was usually to make the game last as long as possible (which really pissed people off) Its harder to make a Risk game last 6 hours+ than it is to win. :lol:

I don't do that here, but I have experimented with other "goals"

I just wish I could find more people that used the in game chat. You know, you couldn't win the board game without a little wheelin and dealin. :wink:

Points vs Fun

How important are points/your scoreboard ranking to you?
