Interest in CS???????

[Herr Straße Laufer]

**I suspect it goes back ..18 months maybe ...to a particularly acrimonious debate about game scale. And a lot of stuff about "cheating".

**A few years back we were a more successful club.

**And get rid of the poisonous PC "New Forum Rules" which have, IMO a lot more to do with control freakism than with the Blitz.

I enjoy the new interest in, and the level of, posting on the forums.

Though, I would like to say that game scale is what CS is all about. John Tiller is designing a new game based on a similar game scale and I am sure it will resemble CS quite a bit.
The "acrimony" in the debate was more from personal attacks than from any discussion of the games scale?
It was more about those who wished to defend changes to the scale or add things that did not fit the scale that caused sides to take personal shots at each other?

A few years back the success of CS could be measured by how many players posted? Heck, the club was formed almost around CS. When it grew and added games CM became the most successful of ladders.
Now, most of the games supported are growing long in the tooth and new players are more into FPS or game console style games.

I, too, would like to see the new forum "special" rules removed. Though, I do not think that Dave or Toni have dipped into that pool much lately.
And, it does keep the freaks from getting freaky?
They do run the ladder and have the right, under the club rules, to enforce whatever rules that "they believe" will keep the peace? ;)
