Hi everyone,

I have been playing on CC for a few months now, and I am frustrated with my lack of progress. I am playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess. I am looking forward to picking up some much needed guidance. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Icerider here.
Well I thought I knew how to play but with a 16% win average I obviously need help. Can you get me started?

Hello Great Conquerors!

This is my first day and I'm humble and willing to learn.
I would be honored beyond imagination if I was allowed to join the Society of the Cooks.

:-({|=

PS: My boss told me about CC. I guess he didn't figure out I would play it AT THE JOB!!!! :-^

Welcome to CC. I'll send you a PM on what we do and put you in a classroom. But you will not be able to join terminator games till you finish your first 5 games. Follow along with the other students till you can post your own games and get a head start.

Hi! The name is Blackwave.

I recently joined this game and would like some help in strategies and overall gameplay improvement. I've played RISK before but it's been YEARS and most of the intricate manoeuvers of the game have left my brain a long time ago :(

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Hi,

I just finished up my 5th and 6th games. I would be interested in learning a bit more especially about the non-standard games.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I am new to the game, but love it. Want to get better and this seems like a good place to start.

Currently working on my first 5 games. Understand cannot jump in until that point, but would like to read more.

Thank you,

hi, I am LucyJack. I just started playing last week-end. I have already been accused of cheating but don't know why. I think I may have signed on to too many games at once. Definately could use some guidance. It is great fun though.

Sure I'll send you our PM for joining and the post to self is a game function for you to take in game notes and only you see it. Please read the stickies in your classroom.

You both will be in a new classroom just opening so please ask for help getting started if you need as no previous games will be posted.

Hello. I am JJ41375.

I used to play Risk when I was younger. I have only been playing on CC for a little bit, but have lost all of the games I played.

I would love some help, so I can at least one game sometime soon.

Thank you.

Hey! New here. Gonna try jumping into a game. I read the instructions, but I guess the best way to learn is to jump in and go...here goes nothing.

Yes you got the right idea get your hands wet and when you have completed 5 games we can teach you some tactics one on many teacher like.
I'll send you our start up PM and put you in a classroom. Read all the stickies and look at the other games so you know what to do when you can post your own games.
