Welcome Comrades to the 90th edition of the Dispatch
No it's not Helloween, but rather time for an interview with
b00060 . While we are on freestyle check out the latest offering from the mafia files and ... drum roll ... a new set of challenges.
Leehar 's team brings us updates on CC3, CL5 and other Clan happenings.
Dukasaur 's team really went to town with some in depth stuff from both
DaveH and
generalhead and ... drum roll ... another new challenge!! And while the foundry may look a little thin this issue, you guessed it, there's ... drum roll ... another challenge!! So while you all get to your homework, we're going to collapse in a small heap before working on what delights to tempt you with next week.
While we are on winning, the Casual Battle Royale games have all come to an end. Congrats on the winners. I have interviewed them all but you will need to wait until next issue also to see that treat. And finally, in the words of Billy Allen:
I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Enjoy the fruit of our labouring fingers!

We have another exciting update on CC3, qwert gets involved on what DD's think about their groups for CL5, and Swifte trials what will hopefully be a regular article for us, on the latest movers and shakers in the clan world.
We are also eager to present some in-depth analysis from BG's coaches poll next issue!
Leehar Clan Executive CC3 Update by Swifte show
We've passed the midway point in each of the ongoing CC3 matchups, and Semi-Final 1 KORT 11 - 24 TOFU don't miss out .freakns wrote: as far as i can see:
Semi-Final 2 AOC 20 - 25 AFOS stay tuned .
CL5 by qwert show
For this issue, we ask the 6 DD(Division Directors) what are they think about their respective divisions.QG1-keefie wrote: Group 1 on paper looks like being a shoe in for TOFU to reach the Premier League with The Pig Renters joining them. However with the matches only being 8 games, surprises can and do happen, for instance LoW have just beaten TOFU in a 12 game match in the Random League. I still expect TOFU to prevail and win the group, but I predict the surprise in this group will come from the battle to finish 2nd and I expect that team to be The Grim Reapers. They are a small tight knit clan who have been getting some good results lately and they respond well on the big stage. I can't see Death by Comity or Clan Fiso being anything other than the 5th and 6th placed teams, leaving The Pig Renters and The Legion to grab 3rd and 4th and qualify for the Second League.'
QG2-jetsetwilly wrote: Qualifying Group 2 has an obvious favourite in Empire who have made an interesting (Brave ?/Foolish ?) opening gambit in selecting all random maps against The Last Warriors. Myth won the 2nd tier last season and must surely fancy their chances at making the top Division in phase 2 this season but which clan could put a cat amongst the pigeons..... ? Those Magnificent Bastards will surely be out to make a statement, finishing bottom of the pile in CL4 should provide the ultimate motivation to pull off a surprise or two.
QG3-mcshanester29 wrote: We have a really good group in CG3, according the polls AFOS is favored to advance to the premier league with a close second going to either FOED and ID. I would keep an eye on the underdogs though - Dyn, UM8, and SOH, they are capable of making it a tough road for whoever advances.
QG4-merch313 wrote: Qualifying Group 4 certainly is interesting to me here. You have AOC who are the clear cut favorites. This QG also has The Fallen trying to prove themselves (which I do believe they have done that) to the top clan world. Then you have to 2 veteran clans in LOW and VDLL trying to make a statement and prove they still have what it takes. The last 2 clans are RA (who have a solid lineup) and AOK who I believe are fairly new to the clan world and do not know much about.
QG5-benga wrote: Looking at experience that IA has they should win this comfortably without any stress, on the other hand fight for no.2 should be tight as freaks pants, OTP, MM, MD should be close, TFFS can always make surprise, but that will depend if they gain the right momentum, AQOH is here to learn.
If this was pissing contest, OTP will hold on to the last place with their average size of penis is just too small to be mentioned at all, only thing that saves them are their witty tongues.
So based on deep analsis this group should be fun and we should have 2 clans advancing

Game 12403450 I'm guessing this is first finished game in all of the groups?
ps. second game will be over soon, maybe as soon as Fins take his move... or they'll need one more round, i'm not sure
Clan Movers and Shakers by Swifte show
Here at the Platoon Report, we knock our heads together frequently to try to keep coming up with ways to get you all the news Clan enthusiasts might be interested in. Recently we got a great suggestion from reader Epitaph1 - why doesn't the Dispatch put together a list of the players joining, leaving, and moving around the clan scene! We thought that was a task worth undertaking, and so I am pleased to announce a new monthly feature - Clan Movers and Shakers! dustin800 - The Spanking MonkeysEgel - The FallenEudain - You'll Never Walk AloneGeneralRisk - Headless HorsemenFATHARRY - Knights of the Round Tablefishydance - Knights of the Round TableHardAttack - Immortal AssassinsJackMaxim - Knights of the Round Tablemiyuki- - RetributionNicky15 - One Step AheadPyrhhus - Immortal Assassinsskillfusniper33 - EMPIREtrinicardinal - The New CrusadeFrogmanx82 - Manifest DestinyItiyank - Manifest DestinyMaisel002 - Manifest DestinyCivProBlows - Manifest DestinyNew Clan Venimus, Vidimus, Vicimus:
Hello again my friends, and welcome to your favorite part of the Newsletter, "War Games", where you can find information about CC Tournaments!
The Chatters have come up with an event, which, while not exactly a tournament, is somewhat tournamentish, so you can read about it below. DaveH has his usual installment of Tournament Tips, as well as another TPA update. In addition, I've decided to re-run generalhead's Showcase of Tournament Directors, since these are people you should know well.
Dukasaur Tournament Executive Find the Secret Room by (The Chatters) show
The Live Chat Team brings you a scavenger hunt with a twist (of lime). Just as with any scavenger hunt we’re going to give you clues and you have to go and find. In this case you’ll have to find the room(s). Each room is a secret known only to a select few but we’ll give you the opportunity to learn those secrets while you attempt to gain more points than anyone else and earn yourself a nice shiny General Achievement medal (well shiny assuming you’ve cleaned your screen recently). All we’ll say is that it will be sometime during March . There is a rumour going around that it will be run at least twice so everyone can have a chance but who knows how these rumours get started. Be on the lookout for further clues that will reveal the date, and time as well as the instructions for the hunt.
Showcase of Tournament Directors by generalhead show

They are here to help you run your tournament, not do it for you
Tournament Directors Night Strike Serbia chapcrap merch313 mcshanester29 As Tournament Directors, we each have a limited amount of time that we can provide to Directing based on personal lives, running tournaments, and other responsibilities that we have. Each Director has taken on tasks that they know they can commit to without over-burdening themselves. In order to help you know who to contact with a specific question or concern, I've compiled this list of duties that each Director is responsible for.
Click image to enlarge. Night Strike , Tournament Team Leader Duties I wanted to help out in a section that I was heavily involved in at the time. March 2008 I never really expected to become Team Leader or spend time helping out other departments, but the actual TD role was mostly expected. By being a member of Generation One: The Clan Click image to enlarge. Serbia , Tournament Deputy LeaderDuties I was running many tournaments at the time, and it was just something I was interested in doing, to help out. I was spending quite a lot of time on the site at that time, so it made sense to me. Night Strike is in my clan, so I volunteered to him. Took quite a long time before I was accepted, and given a role. About 16 months now, I believe. Yes, I'd say it was what I expected. I started out working with new tournaments, inputting them into the database, and awarding privileges when they filled. I have since become the mod responsible for handing out medals once tournaments have been completed. Steelhorse had been handling that, so I didn't expect to move into that role, but I enjoy it. As far as how long I'd be doing this, I really didn't have any expectations, so I'm just happy I'm still able to help out. It's not really a quote, but after I became a mod, I found out that Lindax had serious concerns about making me a TD. I'm happy to say that I've exceeded all his expectations. I rotate between Detroit and Michigan sports. Currently, I'm going with the helmet worn by the Michigan Wolverines. I've also used the Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Lions, and Detroit Tigers. I'm from Detroit, and love Detroit sports. My right knee has been hurting me for over a week, at times somewhat seriously so, and I'm slightly concerned that I might have ligament damage. Click image to enlarge. merch313 Duties Since I was a TO and heard there was going to be openings for TD I decided to put in my application for the position. And low and behold I was picked Beginning of 2012 I believe. Yeah its been great. Nice to see and learn how all this works behind the scenes. Some jobs ive done is more work then I thought. Cuz im a sexy cow Own more then 400 pair of sneakers Click image to enlarge. chapcrap Duties Yes, of course. Well, before they had open callouts, I had told Night Strike (the Tournament Department Head) that I was willing to be a Tournament Director. Then, they had callouts for a Clan Director. It seemed to me that the TDs weren't needing anyone, so I went ahead and applied for that, because I wanted to be able to help out. At the same time, I was approached to see if I wanted to be a Suggestions mod, because I was active there. What ended up happening was a few PMs sent between myself, Night Strike, Bruceswar (head CD), clapper011 (head of suggs at the time), and Andydufresne. We came to the decision to have me help with tournaments because that's what I liked the most. It will be a year in a few weeks. It wasn't exactly what I expected. For the tournament directors, there is a lot of behind the scenes work; putting things into the database, checking tournaments, fielding questions and complaints, issuing medals, etc. I thought that we would get a chance to be involved in more site changes. However, there weren't many changes to get involved in. Hopefully that's changing in the future. Hmmm. Nothing comes to mind right now. Well, at the time I chose it, I was really into trying to find a family crest for myself. I went searching on the internet and found this. I have a congenital heart defect. GH Thanks and you're welcome. Click image to enlarge. mcshanester29 Duties After running tournaments for almost 2 years, I saw the call out for TD volunteers and I thought it would be a great experience plus a way to give back to the community. About 10-11 months now I believe For the most part it was what I expected there is always a few surprises.lol I didn't really have a time set in mind for how long I would volunteer, I just figured till they kicked me out or till I was no longer playing CC. I have so many favorites via pm,but can't quote them to protect the innocent...or not so innocent. One of my clan mates made it for me!! At night I am batman....oh crap now you know my secret identity..where is that amnesia pill??

Hope you are all enjoying the two new maps. The foundry already has another 6 ready to go. Whilst we are all having fun playing, I have been having a hard time with all of the replies to Gilligan competition. In the end, I have decided to reward you all.
This weeks one is a little harder.
A suggestion dealing with maps cropped up in te suggestions forum again. Go and look if you like
medals. DaveH asked how many territories are on each of the maps. Well, as usual, our beloved leader (in the foundry that is) thenobodies80 was on hand to help out.
