:lol: You cheeky bugger! I've written more in game chat on this site than Stephen King has in a lifetime!

Very happy our paths crossed again on the occasion of your birthday and we started chatting again about a challenge we'd considered years ago.

Do we need to lay down some ground rules? I mean, there's freestyle and unlimited/no forts etc etc. Shall we keep it to 1v1 clan war rules which always seemed sensible. And what about starting? We could make it very equitable by having an equal amount of first turns (easy to do, just don't go first on home maps and waste the troops). I'm easy either way and could just as happily let Fate play her part :D

Great to see activity from a host of colleagues and friends - IM, Rock, Denise, Lou & MT =D>

I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss this site, but have to add the break has been good and was very necessary (I've three children under 6 FFS!)

Roll on the good times and, of course, the dice in my favour ;)

Love and best wishes to all

CoF xxx
Do you need some premium?
hehe, CoF is rich ;)

CoF WAS rich. Lost everything in Macau & Hong Kong due to the 2019 riots and then Covid from China :(

Feel lucky just to have made it back to the UK and kickstart life again. Happy but relatively poor nowadays.

Was pondering whether I would break the news but definitely decided your privacy prevailed, but yeah. Before CoF left CC again (which, again, was probably a good thing for his mental health) shit had hit the fan multiple times irl.

Thank you for your discretion. 2019-2022 were incredibly tough times but we prevailed in the end and are now nicely settled.

Josko

Shall we set the rules in this thread? Are we sticking to 1v1 on all maps or are we allowing poly? So many questions. What are your thoughts?

CoF is a great communicator as long as you are communicating his thoughts ;) .

If you need a dubs partner to play against MT, I am available 8-) .
oh really? lets do that challenge? What you say MT?
I am only concerned that this will make me a cook again, as loutil and me cumulatively have enourmous number of ranking points ;)
A cooks hat would look good on you, but you wouldn't have it for long. :D
Absolutely…I think myself and COF or whoever would do just fine…who cares about points…who wins is key.

Our team name will be the cro cop fighters maybe ;)

Edit: let me get nutshotscott …let’s go
Where did you go???

We are still negotiating terms but I proposed "Floating 10" challenge so far, see the OP.

That's a swell idea Josko and I'm up for it. Floating 10 it is =D>

Ready to kick-off whenever you are.

two more things to discuss...

I realized that floating 11 is better than floating 10 due to mathematical flaw that in floating 10 can occur +6 +8 but never +9. However, with floating 11, +10 can easily occur and then one game is decider.

Second, with some big names on CC (rabbiton, Kaskavel), I have played in past that first-goer can only deploy on first turn (no attacks, no fort), and then second-goer starts to indeed play. This was method to even up first turn advantage because second-goer have attack/card advantage but first-goer has troops advantage (he starts with +3 or more troops but second-goes starts attacking with 0 troops).

I think both these suggestions of floating-11 and reverse-goers serve to reduce luck factor and that you will find them reasonable.

Yes mate, I find both of these suggestions reasonable, esp the first turn rule =D>

Personally would have preferred all games to have been esc rather than flat rate (FR has such a luck factor, plus esc can speed-up the games) but will go with your suggestion and hope luck favours me ;)

The challenge lasts until someone has lead of 11 games, that player will be winner. Theiretically it can last forever

Cheers bro. It's been swings and roundabouts so far, from 5-3 to 8-10. It's enjoyable because it's fast and doesn't require much thinking or planning or log-checking (which I'd have preferred, e.g. poly fog). But no complaints, we've completed 18 games and only started this a few days ago. Fast, furious fun!

This is really good to see. Good two see two famous players return to CC. Good to see an interesting series being used to settle their rivalry instead of C&A. And good to see this much activity in the Callouts forum.

All in all, many good things.

It's 12-19 in favour of the bad guy, but thankfully AoR 1, 2 & 3 are out of the way as is City Mogul. Not good maps for me!

We are 21-14 my lead after four sets which ended 6-5 7-3 6-4 2-2 each. Three sets won by me and one draw. Good play overall.
