THE BIGGEST 'SPEED' GAMES :
Mr Changsha wrote:103 rounds, 15 hours, 3 babysitters on off the bench as the participants fell off of their chairs from sheer exhaustion.
Mad Pineapples did an amazing fourteen and a half hours with only a half an hour break for his tea. Ah, to be sixteen again, and so full of beans!
Mr Changsha managed a still quite stupendous nine hours (3 am China time mental collapse) before handing over to Fruitcake who saw it through with another six hour stint.
Spoongod found himself 'wifed out' of the game after a mere five hours, but subbed in that most resiliant of players Agent 86 who while also on China time managed to maintain for an enormous nine and a half hours until about nine am in the morning.
Amusingly, once Fc took over for me, I suggested that Agent 86 would have to flag soon as the early morning hours rolled by. Therefore, concentrate on Mad Pineapples and the game would be won in a couple of hours tops. However, Agent 86 rarely gives anything up easily...apparently even when merely babysitting for another account. Is his nine and a half hours a record for a babysitter in a speed game?
Finally, much kudos to Fruitcake. I can't think of another player I'd rather have take over a tight three man game. I went to bed confident of the points and sure enough Fc delivered the goods!
Top Man!



OTHER LEGENDARY GAMES :
  • Game 1000001 A world 2.1 game with 113 players!!! / +1666 points for lokisgal when winning this game!


THE BIGGEST TOURNAMENTS :
Tournaments (except officials like clan, tribes, or championships) with more than 200 players and/or more than 2000 games played.

There's been a few of these threads over the years, but the data gets lost eventually. I think the problem is that the forum is inherently not a great medium for storing data.

If you wanted to start a spreadsheet and collect some stats, that would be a great service to the community.

Here's some of the oldest games:
Game 1026097 -- more than 10 years old now, in round 5899. Those are some dedicated girls!
Game 2904361 -- 9.5 years old, round 3252. Probably the longest-running Francophone game.

The above two are the last surviving games from the years before I joined the site. There were some other legendary games that ran many years. I'm not quite sure how to find them now, but maybe some of the other people around here could help out.

Here's some other really old games
Game 7799319 round 2003 -- the last surviving game with a 7-digit number

Game 12495837 round 1690
Game 13530100 round 601
Game 14305210 rd 566
Game 14305212 489
Game 14820073 861


I'd be really curious to see which is the oldest game in which there is actual fighting going on.

Anyway, let me know if you want to take this on as a project and do some kind of spreadsheet. I'll move this thread to GD and headline it, and you can collect data. Othewise, I'll just leave it here as a curiosity.

I made a thread in the general discussion forum not too long ago. Nevertheless, anybody can make a game last years and years... we found one that was 10 years old and still going. it's a very stupid thing to do and i wouldn t encourage that behaviour.

Can you find it for us? I know I could do it but I have about 20 million overdue tasks already.

Well, a lot of the oldest games no longer involve any fighting. They're basically just miniature social hangouts. That isn't "stupid", really. People hang out all kinds of places and go through social rituals, hanging out in an old game is not that different from hanging out at your old coffee shop.

Nonetheless, I would like to also identify long-running games where the people are still fighting. That would be an interesting study.

Hello Dukasaur,
I gonna think about it, it could be really hard to do it on my own.
Maybe I could create the spreedsheet. Visible by all with a proper link.
And open to modifications for you (+ a list of some more people you gonna tell).

@Betiko
If you have time to post the link thank you!
And I won't encourage it! I'm not asking people to last their games for years! It's just a kind of hall of 'famous games'!
For some people it will be funny to have just a look.
For some other it will give them stats or datas.

Here it is... about mid page of page 1, wasn't very hard to find ;)
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=224954

If there are games where people are "fighting", it s rather because there is a never ending stalement and no one is willing to do anything about it.

I still think it's absolutely stupid and people doing that have something wrong going on. If you want to hang out with people, (in this case with strangers that you happened to like) just go talk to them on the forum, or create a usergroup or whatever. Comitting yourself to go play a turn on an unfinishable game every day for 10 years is ridiculously dumb. Isn t life too short to have to commit to such thing? The more you play it.... the less you are willing to give up on it... and it takes an importance it should never have in the first place. These people have become slaves to these stupid unfinishable games. The day they will end... they will have a bitter taste in mouth... wondering why at least they didn't play a few real games rather than playing stalement for years.

There are literally dozens of those threads.
Here's a few of the better ones: https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=121413
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=61946
I'm pretty sure Blitz had a thread too, I just can't find it now (he had a lot of threads).


Here's some games that I have in my Conquer Club History Textbook. They are uncollected notes, more like handwriting in the margin.
Game 7961282
Game 578682 This one was the original legend. The one to which all others aspire to and will never quite reach because they just aren't this game.
Game 1204465
Game 1000001

"Speed" games:
Game 5491063

Hello all,
I've edited second post in this thread.
I tried to sort out all your posts in a few categories. Only the 5 best in each!

Tell me if you see any update to made.

@DUKASAUR
Nonetheless, I would like to also identify long-running games where the people are still fighting. That would be an interesting study.

Yes, same for me, not the social ones! Can you help?

@DOOMYOSHI
This is a really fun read: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1039

Indeed!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

MOVED to General Discussion.

My feedback is that I love this idea, but there is a lot to be done. For starters, you need to mine the threads that DoomYoshi has provided links for. There's a lot more material to be found inside those threads. I know it's slow and boring work, but if this Hall of Fame is to gain value, that is work which needs to be done.

It's fine, I've already edited the post few days ago with all infos I found in all post made, let me know if somebody know one game to add, but for me it's already on the update. ;)

2-player games, or those that are still 2-player, should have an asterisk beside them. 3-player games legitimately stalemate. 2-players is game abuse.

I agree! :lol:

That's why I classified into social or not. Social are the one where the stalemate is clearly abused.
Now I'm looking for more games to fill the other categories. ;)

It could be great also to have this kind of hall of fame for tourneys (except for CC cup obviously). Every victory is great but some are more outstanding.

For example, I will not forget my first tourney victory as it was on a 370 players tourney, which last 3 years :
