You guys are running out of the subject You pointed something right, Mookie, first CCC OS made we won the ironman and we went to medie final, doing such a great fight vs RAY that is still sticking to our memories as our greatest fight, for the players involved So here is another idea, that will solve this matter and also solve the numbers of admins involved. First, perhaps we should call the 2nd division the QCC, as Qualification for Clans Cup And what if the QCC was running one or two weeks before the CCC ? This way, the two teams doing best results on QCC will be able to play directly the CCC, even on first show, and teams that were disqualified of last CCC will have another chance of doing the next one. And this way, the numbers of admins required will stay the same, but twice more than usually ( still a matter, i know ) What you guys think of this ? I like Mansu's solution. I also like the solution of having so many events that you're not _supposed_ to play all of them.

while clans like RaY are good at many events ... they are pretty nooby at the others. We seem to have a bit of a reading comprehension problem here. I said RaY is good at many events, and the events they are not good at they are nooby at. Um? Duh? This my friend is a tautology. Any inferences you drew from it regarding which events (good at many events like the teamers) are your own. LOL if you think this is an incorrect generalization regarding RaY please read your own posts about slavers etc. Now FFS get over it, and please stop picking on any post that you suspect might imply RaY is not as good as you seem to think it is. GET OVER IT. AND NO I DON"T THINK YOUR CLAN IS THAT GREAT--LIVE WITH IT. I AM SO GD SICK OF ARROGANT RAY PLAYERS.

Ten of the thirteen events are teamers.

I'd like to point out that our first CCC we took out RaY in one event. We wouldn't be able to do that in this system, which is a bit of a shame since for many events like the occ or the ironman you never know who will win.
Let's face it, while clans like RaY are good at many events like the teamers generally they are pretty nooby at the others. Wouldn't it be ironic if the "minor league" had better players in certain events than the "major league."
Well that said, I think it's really noble for Meekie to offer to have RaY play in the minors for the first CCC under his system to show he is not elitist and there is no stigma with the minors.
Good show Meekie!

I agree with the people asking for more randomness. Right now the CCC is more like an abstract practice exercise than a real war game. I think it needs a bit more complexity and reality to appeal to civ players (such as myself) and settings like start anywhere provide that.
I don't always host games like this, mainly because they take a bit longer since 1 kill is not decisive unlike regular tbg/insea games, but I definitely appreciate them.

Metallian, you are a disgrace. You (1) completely missed the point of Church's post, (2) lied about calling Church what you did, (3) are being a complete prick to one of your former clanmates and (4) played the worst out of everyone in that game.
I simply hope that your clanmates realize that while you're their buddy now, they could be getting called a "f u c k i n g f a g g o t" by you next CCC.

Good idea LH. Even better would be cylindrical inland sea IMO--would give them some of their railing too.

We tried the modern fractal settings a few days ago and below are my findings: A) it was fun B) my team did have one person on a continent with the whole other team C) we won D) either fractal is fair or vote for me as the REAL noob farmer THX

I don't know how much space there is on that plate, but it would be nice to have the monikers of all the clan members on it, or at least those who participated.

Yah the high school thing was bad, I apologize. I see it touched a nerve. I just thought it was true when I thought it that most of you are around 17-18. Of course, the remark is still condescending even if true and I apologize.

Whatever the mechanism, the game said you lost, so IMO you lost. This is just like getting liberalism or a wonder same turn, no difference. Ask for a patch, but don't change the rules ex post--the game said you lost IMO.
I dropped it then bc no one else really cared. But tbh, this is my first clan and the only game I play either online or off and I did care.
I have nothing against RaY per se, I like most of your players personally and respect most of their play styles including the ones that posted in this thread. I've respect enough to let them live in CTON style games to not have to report to all when it doesn't matter to me.
However, I don't think that what occurred there was fair and am now offended by your taking a position as arbiters of "fair play." (That's why it's in this thread.)
Please note that I am speaking personally and not for my clan (who I believe disagree with my stance).
IDK maybe it's just because I'm a lawyer, maybe it's just because I think it's not right. But this thread bothered me.

I think it's kind of funny that the RaY people are acting up on "fair play" given they won a CCC on an arbitrary award of points. If they lost that space race game (as the game in fact registered), they would have lost that CCC two back.
After this they gave no credit to the other clan that might have won, accepting a unilateral award of points by a TD they did not earn. In fact, they proceeded to make games with such titles as "Ladder Teamer pw ccc champs."
I realize that most of the RaY team is around high school age, but still I expected better. I do however expect that they will appreciate the logical connection.
That said, I agree with the RaY folk that I wouldn't DQ a team on a technicality. Just like in that CCC I would have had the decency to propose to my clan to offer to share the title were we the ones to benefit.

What about a Renaissance on Wheel to change? (Always inland sea start to be boring). I think the problem with Wheel is that it's very much a builders' map. What about fast timer on Indus? to havent again games of 6 hours. Games are won and lost in the build up phase -- you need to control your Worker actions, examine your land and place your cities in the best spots, deal with the early boat drop rushes, change your civics, and get yourself going. I often find myself running out of time early on with the Medium timer, I think my head would explode if it were moved up to fast! lol? I suspect a different problem with these suggestions?

I personally agree that there should be some differentiation those perennially in the lower half can achieve. Addressing Mookie's (elitist) POV that people in the lower half should not get points, one way to satisfy both is by using negative points in the lower half: now it's: 5-10 get 0 pts, why not 1: 8 pts 2: 4 pts 3: 2 pts 4: 1 pt 5: 0 pts 6: -1 pt 7: -2 pts 8: -4 pts 9: -8 pts 10: -16 pts I think that would be awesome and lead to some classic showdowns Can you imagine the fight to avoid -16? Of course the winner might have 2 pts and the last place team might have -128 pts, with this particular scale ;D But if you wanted, you could switch that up by making first 16 pts and last -8 or something like that.

Re: Event 8, the OCC.
1) Anc is a strange start, I agree with Audrien--no one plays this 2) Insea is a bad map for a balanced competition since your game will be determined by your neighbors' proclivities (c4f pang, c4f islands, etc. make much more sense) 3) 11 on c4f Insea small is ridiculous, the map script will break for sure
