CGS games?
So, I was looking for a game to join, when I spotted this. Spot them every now and again. What are they? And what does CGS stand for?

Featured game?
What is a featured game? One of the games I am playing got a star next to it, and it says that is is a featured game, with one of the highest stakes. Is this something automatic?

Go for the win or draw with good players
In the eyes of a high point player, is it better to try to go for the win or take a three-way draw (in world map). What is more "respected"? What creates more "trust" for future games? (I know its a form of meta-gaming, but I think that for long-playing players-it appears important). Thanks for your opinions.

Since the official topic is probably going to get flooded with these soon, it made sense to follow another user's suggestion and make a separate topic. I'm working on the others now, but here's mine for Game 1 first.

Retreating in an endgame situation
I just finished an anonymous gunboat game and I do not believe that any of the dislodged units in the last season were permitted to retreat. Surely under certain circumstances that retreat could be the difference between a solo and a draw, no? Does webDip process the win before or after autumn retreats, and/or does it have programming to know whether the retreat can affect the outcome of the game?

The Wonderful 100: History's Greatest Persons
There are so many people on this site with so many interests, and so many important people throughout history at that, I thought it might be interesting to see who and what we value throughout mankind. "Great" can be any combination of importance, influence, and personal feeling for the person, can even be "evil" people--everyone nominates 5, when we reach 100 or so, we'll vote and see...WHO are Wonderful 100, the Greatest Figures in Human History (and who'll be"#1!") ;)

Banned players who return get to have a clean slate on GR and points. This is an unfair advantage...

@Serious - It was already pointed out a couple of times. I didn't actually know about it because I hadn't researched it. I just took the subtle accusations and verbalized them. and the accusation is pretty far down in a thread, not like the opening post or the subject or even the first reponse.

@ everyone. im not a cheater. Draugnar is just mad because my stats are so good because like he said, i improved and lost my old statistics.

@ Serious sam. I climbed the GR list cleanly and played legit. its a shame that my points are gone since even if i win my two games im in they will probably be taken as well/
figlesquidge (2131 D)
22 Oct 10 UTC
Your points will be removed until we can reach a decision. Still, think of them more as impounded - you will get them all back if cleared.
Agent K (0 DX)

even if i do get them back, everyone will still assume im a cheater though. my name wont be cleared

also, i find it hilarious that Draugnar refused to play with me because he thought i was a "cheater" and then we were in the tourney game together the whole time and I beat him. Classic
Draugnar (0 DX)
22 Oct 10 UTC
No, I refused to knowingly play with you because you admitted to having been banned in the past. If fig clears your name, I'll play. As far as winning in the GFDT, you did a good job and Italy totally sucked. It was a great stab and I have complemented you in this very thread as being a great player.

Draugnar (0 DX)
22 Oct 10 UTC
I call Mad Marx a decent player. Decent is a compliment coming from me. You deserve no more kudos form me than I choose to give you. It's just a game and now that I see how you have a patsy ally who lets you win or helps you draw, I don't even think you deserve the decent any more. I await Fig's final response, but it would appear you like to metagame.

ahh so much hate for one little game where i won and because of winning i am guaranteed of advancing in the tournament while you sit unsure of your tourney life

No hate. I think you did very well in that game. I congratulate you again. And my 12 SC strong second has a solid chance of moving on. But what about all those games with the same ally every time?
hahahahahahaha holy shit Maniac well-played

@Agent K

Dude, I'd strongly suggest you start anew...

Look at it this way. These games will be in the DB forever. You seem like a good player capable of doing quite well without the shady practices. Are you sure you'd like these games on your record forever? Even if you act like a saint from now chances are that, maybe in a year, someone will check your history and this will pop up again...

@ Ivo

I admitted to playing some games with my friend very early on, but its nothing different than what eeezfly and jireland20 do. They have never been accused of anything, and theyve done it a lot more than i have.

regarding creating a new account, that was one of draugners little things to cry about, saying that my old records were wiped clean. I know that if i restart, then my new record will be even better, probably only wins and draws. I guess the positive side of that is nobody would know who i was, although after a while, all youd have to do is look at the GR to see some new face really high up there with a really amazing win draw record

Agent K (0 DX)

@ figle.

regarding my record, Draugnar is definitely right. My old games were wiped out so they were all practice games. So its at the point now where ill almost always win or draw. Its not me trying to show off or anything, its just the truth
I wanna be sedated.

Win : Draw ratios
My position is that it is better to risk a place in a draw for a reasonable chance at a win.

So a better win:draw ratio is more important than a your (win+draw) : (survived+eliminated) ratio...

Map didn't update.
Don't know if this is a problem with anyone else, but I'm playing in gameID=39406, and the map didn't update with the results of the 1902 build phase. When I click on the icon to get the large map, I see the disbanded and newly built units. More concerning, though, is that I can't issue orders for my new unit...not only does the map not show it, the orders don't load for it either.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
