How much IP will Fight Club Score

If no one paid, no one would play

As for the spending or buying gold, I think the Indians would be the best ones to ask
They spend when they think they can catch the team in front
They spend to stay in front of the team below them
So they are both pulled along and pushed from below

I play with spending the bare minimum because of the very reason I gave above. To think of the dollar amount I know some folks have spent is really funny regardless of how much money they have in real life.

I guess I think of the games in this life that take real skill and dedication. When those people achieve goals and rewards I can at least be envious at their skills but in CC I just know some dude forked out a grand for it. Just funny is all.

I put my CC stats on my resume. I get tons of job offers daily.

Maybe you missed the part where I'm on your side. No need for sarcasm. There's nothing tough about tapping a screen.

The tough way is to play for free? Don't think so. As far as i know, giving up on the money you can use to invite your wife on dinner, is MORE tough.

I wasn't being sarcastic. Tough as in increasing ones stats as they level up. It's slow and they are on the frequently hit list

I call your bluff. Why do you play the game? You even created a forum account and post!!! You could play marbles by yourself!

If there is no strategy to the game, why has FC won every war? Other syndicates spend and some may have out spent FC a war or 2 ago! Yet they were not #1. My theory: it is probably very difficult for you to imagine because you simply do not get it. It's quite simply the same argument why some spend and others don't. There is a saying: if you are not successful but wish to be, make friends with a successful person. Making friends with other losers will not make you a success. Just saying....

I'm begging for this this thread to be locked. Reading all 18 pages isn't a good use of my time. I could be spending my time in more fulfilling ways-- suntanning with no UV protection, buying lots of gold and feeling better as a person, or helping the local charity down the block.

These topics always get everyone frustrated because it usually devolves into simpleton arguments like " You're rich but you feel bad about yourself. That's why you send so much on CC". Ridiculous. Or "Playing CC without buying gold is the tough way to play. I'm righteous". Also ridiculous. For the most part, we all fall into a spectrum somewhere we spend some money to purchase a little bit of gold. If there is skill involved in CC, buying gold doesn't negate it. Is being the top player in CC as difficult intellectually as being the world champion in chess? No. But give two players $25,000 to spend on CC and I guarantee you one will be better than the other ...and not because of chance.

To duckid I say...Please stop playing and telling us here how you hate CC. Just stop playing and go self-actualize somewhere else.

To Tzora I say-- You have incredible patience answering post after post. And by the way, you are loved. By many people in CC and in RL.

And to Angel 666 -- Your constant juvenile sarcasm here isn't appreciated here. Why so negative about everyone? I feel sorry for you.

That wraps it up folks...lets get on with our lives and do whatever we like doing. For many of us who post in this forum, that may mean playing CC. We are not addicted, we have other things to do in the world but I would bet that the vast majority of us enjoy playing CC. Because its a decent game.

Can't say I agree with everything you've posted on this thread but this observation below is spot on. Nicely stated.

"this game is totally biased to the rich who can spend real money. this game endorses spending money and that's what some people do. if you are feeling disgusted because they can spend and you can't, take a break .. buy a computer, buy a fps game and there you have the challenge you are talking about"

Well said Tam, that's the truth, ain't it?
