While I have been an avid member of this site, I have noticed and notable gulf between the people who play RTC and CC.

To me, RTC just seems so impersonal, you play a game for 15 minutes and then you just leave. I have played RTC four times and have found each game, ultimately, personally unenjoyable.

Whereas, I play 99% of my games on CC. I actually get excited when I go onto "My Ongoing Games" to see if it is my turn in any of my games. I look forward to the chance to stop and think for a few moments about how the game may pan out and what I can do to influence the game pattern. I enjoy the hard thinking as I often find myself unchallenged in school, my mind restricted to the level of lesser mind and intellect. I enjoy the fact that I know when i may lose a game... but the important thing is that I enjoy it: the people I have played against have all had the decency to say "Good luck" or, in one case, "You're really good for your age" before, during or after a game.

All this is in contrast to the "Prepare to get your ass kicked" that I received in my first ever RTC game.

I would like to know what you think of my views on RTC and CC: any useful or helpful comments would be much appreciated.

Thanks
