Also false. Some Americans are clearly not well educated in writing and grammar but I would like to think many are. Part of effective communication is about clarity. You're failing at that, in a very successful manner.

America is a world leader in many things. Obesity, teenage pregnancy, gun crime, lax border security(I jest with this one), and a few other negative things. Education for all, and universal literacy is not something that America leads the world in.
So the line of reasoning goes thus. America is in decline, Most CC members are american, QED CC is declining because of America.
Very long bow to draw.

----You want to quote me Buckaroo. You better put everything I say. TEXT MESSAGING is also the new way to go.Now that's sad. Also since the mid-90's Ebonics is a respected language (form of English) taught in American schools. As for the Confederate Flag..it is also on The American Civil War map. If you read all my posts you would see what type of person I am. We can't all live in the 51st state known as Canada..hahahahaha.. I don't use "LOL", because that means "lots of love". Or does it?.cough..cough. ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion). P.S..The Stars and Stripes is the real flag of Hatred. As I explained in another post. I'm sure the Vets returning home from war. Loved being spit on and had things thrown at them. When the were defending the country they love..God Bless America..cough..cough..... :roll: ..Long Live The Stars and Bars.......

----Yes,I know. But the 1861 flag looked to much like the Stars and Stripes. So they changed it. To the Battle flag of Dixie. To avoid further confusion on the Battlefield. The cross of blue looks like two bars,not stripes. So it is often mistakenly placed. The new Stars and Bars through the South. We are in battle mode on Conquer Club.Are we not. ;) ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion).

I had the idea it turned stabile for several weeks, now it's under 9700. Just the number of active players in the overall list that is.

I think I prefer this number. Those who make it to the leaderscoreboard for a 1 month-period are the ones who are important. I'm fairly certain most active premium players are in this list. These are most of the players financially supporting the website and playing most of the games. They are the heart of the community. As long as this number doesn't plummet, thing should be fine.

at least for me, this thread holds little value in what a declining/inclining thread should be. #1 and probably 90% of that reason is the data has been skewed and no longer agrees with all the work ive put onto it until hat point. so, other than defending my position on that, i dont really keep up with it anymore.

for me, the first to go was my clan-mates, then the games. i tried to keep interested in them, but then i remembered the reason i reached out to a clan in the first place was because the game itself was becoming dull. so then i lost interest in running tournaments, which was really my last bit of positive community influence to the site.. now since the decline thread went bunk, all ive got left is the walking dead thread. not sure what will happen when these last two episodes are up. ill either have to find something to enjoy on a dead site, or just wander off towards a much more exciting thing to do. like gardening or woodworking or something. maybe ill pick up windsurfing or kayaking.

Yes is the answer to the question asked by Pirlo in 2011 - membership In CC has declined

Postby Pirlo on Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:00 pm
Pirlo wrote:When I look at the number of online users, I see it's like only 60% of the number I used to find a year ago.

This indicates CC is not even stable and non-growing; rather, it's declining!

17315 are the current users. I think they used to be +20.000 last year. :-k[/quote

]
When "membership" by Scoreboard figures refers only to the number of players that have taken a turn within the past 30 days .

http://www.conquerclub.com/public.php?mode=scoreboard

I don't see much point in debating about the exact math- e.g. How many premium, paid members are there now as compared to back in 2010/2011 and how did the trend work out over different time periods- number of premium paid members we lost in 2011 minus the number we gained in 2011`, number lost in 2012 minus number gained in 2012 etc. etc. The answer is yes- membership in CC has declined.

Hopefully early 2015 some 3 1/2 years from the time this thread started, the membership decline that started around 2010 has stalled or bottomed out, somewhere just shy of 10.000, and there is some stability, maybe even some upward incline to come , and CC will remain open for a few more months and even for a few more years- time will tell.

I have said this before, but it isn't entirely the fault of website management. There is an overall decline in online risk popularity. So considering this, CC isn't doing all that badly, though things can always be better.

Got bored and looked up some numbers. And apparently if we compare Metsfanmax's graph with some Google trends history for the keywords 'play risk online', there is indeed an overall decline in popularity of the game risk. How much that decline is, I don't know as no y-axis was offered. However this at the very least shows that the management of this website is at least partially not to blame for the general decline.

For those interested btw, here's the link to Google trends and if you want to research more you need to log into your gmail account:

If you continue this juvenile game of putting your fingers in your ear and saying "I can't hear you" then I can't help you.


you say corrected, i say skewed.

really, your conclusive clear examples boils down to this'

player a) joins game, deadbeats, loses/gains +/-20 points
player b) joins game, deadbeats, loses/gains 0 points.

you acknowledge both players should be allowed to sit on the scoreboard that is designated to rank players based on the amount of points that was risked. even thoough player b risks no points, he should be allowed to sit on the scoreboard.

ok, thats great. you have a point. except i think it's not a good point. you however think you have found the cure to cancer with this vision.

i think, only "player a" should be allowed to be ranked on the scoreboard. since points were risked. "player b" should be over there where he used to be before the books were cooked. no one noticed. no one cared.

scenario games, guide games, and bot games do not require a player to risk points,

the score board is there to show your rank in relation to how many points were lost/gained by risking them in games.

you should not be listed on this scoreboard if no points were risked.

you say "it's fine, we want as many players as possible on the scoreboard so i don't care what it takes to get them there."
i say, "it's not cool to put players on the scoreboard that played a game that did not allow them to win/lose points. they should only be counted if they put points up to win/lose."

you act like i'm an idiot or a baby with my fingers in my ears for not agreeing with you.
i can't help to feel the same about you.
