safariguy5 Freestyle Executive SoC Update by TheSaxlad show
Hello Folks, I'm here to give you an update on our good strategic friends at the SoC!Viceroy63 's Questions for SoC Advisors. As some of you may have spotted this thread is a recycle from an old SoC thread called "Coming Soon to an SoC near You!" Now it's "Questions for SoC Advisers." Although Viceroy states that "I can't guarantee that the any Adviser will respond" the thread is already drawing both students and teachers alike to it, so if you have a question for the advisors this is a great opportunity to ask that question!We're looking for a hardy, inquisitive type to make monthly reports in the Conquer Club newsletter. Our reporter should either be a current student or a grad.
TheSaxlad or thehippo8 !!Viceroy63 "THE SOC MONTHLY REPORT" This thread includes a mission statement for the SoC as well as a short history, but like the thread suggests also includes a monthly report on all the training rooms and a monthly quote! definitely worth a look over, especially as we get monthly updates, which ill be following in more detail next time!Viceroy63 wrote: When in doubt; Attack first and ask questions later. =)

show: Interrogation of b00060
Disclaimer: You may be offended by anything you read here and a lot of this is based on my emotions for the day, but they are my opinions and the opinions of a person that has played over 30,000 games on this site and has seen more than anyone else save HighlanderAttack who I hold a lot of respect for. So try and remember that when you have played as much as me and caught as many cheaters as my, my views may be a little more jaded and blunt than what yours may be. Q. For how many days/weeks, months/years in a row do you not leave home to take some fresh air? Ha, I have the luxury of working in front of a computer almost 10 hours a day, so I get a lot of turns in when I have free time, which as you can tell by my completed games is a lot. So to answer your question, I get out everyday. Q. How many multis have you busted? I have busted so many it is not even funny. A lot of people think I bitch and moan in the cheating forum, but it is only because I have seen so much cheating it literally makes a lot of the games no fun at all. When you have played over 30,000 games, you see a crap load of multis and just straight up collusion, but I try and only report the ones that are blatantly obvious because I would much rather be playing than reporting. As you play more games, it gets exponentially larger, especially when you bust someone and they just keep coming at you with new accounts because you pissed them off for catching them. I would say I am the target of more than a few dozen of these players. But when I see it and it is obvious, I feel I owe it to the community to have them checked, because if I can get rid of a multi, then that means they can't victimize others. Q. Based on that number, how much money does CC owe you? I would say I get my moneys worth if you look at my games played : paid ratio. Sometimes it even sickens me how much I play. Q. Do you plan on relentlessly chasing the next medal level (Diamond or whatever its called)? If so for which medals? Unfortunately yes. I am a medal head and I am not looking forward to the terminator games I have to play. As anyone of rank knows, you join any terminator game with rank, you will immediately be targeted for your points alone as a lot of players would rather get a higher rank kill than actually win the game, so I am going to medal hunt for ALL diamonds, but am not looking forward to that part. Q. How has your interest in CC changed since leaving the clan world? I used to play a lot of 7-8 man games and a lot of team games. After I got all gold medals, I wanted to focus on my winning percentage that took a huge hit for playing all of the 7-8 man games that I had, so I started playing more 1v1 games since I left my clan. ( I started the Grim Reapers) and didn't like the direction or way a lot of our clan games were being played (ie. no communication) and I as a leader felt responsible, so I took a step back from the clan world. I am thinking about getting back into it and get a lot of solicitations from others probing my interest, so maybe one day I will get back into it. Q. Why did the multi cross the road? Because he was too cheap to pay for premium and support this site and would rather ruin the ranking system and enjoyable experience for honest paying members. (I guess my hatred for multis is no secret) Q. What was your most satisfying bust if any? I literally have so many and at the time they are all good, but there are several that are repeat offenders against me and those are the ones I like best. Unfortunately a lot of them slip through the cracks. Anyone that has played here a while can spot an experienced player pretty easily and a lot of multis are very experienced and know exactly what to avoid doing and how to fly under the radar. Second answer is always my latest, like these guys last week: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=239&t=186296 Q. Word on the street is that you are one of the most common names found on foe lists. Probably so. Why do you think that is and how do you feel about it? I play everyone how I would want to be played. I also will, have and do play against anyone, something that A LOT of higher ranked players cannot say. When you are creating games, you have very little control over who joins them and as a result anything can happen. I play every game fair and honest and I try to win the game. Do I get pissed sometimes about dice, sure...I have good days and bad days like everyone else. As a result I may have let my temper alienate someone who otherwise is a great player and caught me at a bad time. One of my biggest pet peeves that I need to work on is taking my first turn in a game that others have already played and is doomed from the get go and not having any chance to win at all and hearing them talk shit. When I go first and win, OI will usually acknowledge that it was not a gg and that they didn't have a chance, but when the sides are flipped and people say stuff like you played like shit or you should have done this or that, it really irks me. Most games are pretty basic and come down to dice if you have a basic understanding of them, i get that. A lot of players here do not play that way. When I suspect someone of being a multi or using cheap tactics, I will foe them and as a result they in turn will do the same. Problem is, I rarely join other peoples games, so it doesn't bother me as much. There are a lot of players on this site that I respect and know the nice side of me and those are the players I really like to play. I do not lie in a dream world, NOT everyone on this site plays with integrity. If you get pissed that I bitch in a game, oh well, foe me and move along, but my game play will always be balanced. Okay I am rambling and too lazy to re-read this answer and edit it. Take it with a grain of salt. Q. Looking at you stats you already meet the criteria for the new medals in 11 of the categories. How long will it take for you to get the other 5 (terminator, assassin, trench, nukes, random) up to diamond? TBD, the assassin and terminator will be a nightmare. I take pride in the fact that I pretty much have enough unique wins in the cross map to cover all maps except a few beta ones that might have just been released. Unique wins are very very difficult. Especially when you have a high rank and the same players join all of your games to get points. I hate to foe, but I do not feel like playing 5,000 trench, nuke assassin games to get 500 unique wins. There are a lot of great players on this site, but many of them are one trick ponies. The ones that I really respect are the players that are all around great at everything. Each category really does require an alteration to strategy and the players that can play anything well on any map get my respect. Just because you are Conqueror doesn't mean you are a GREAT CC player. Q. Are you happy with the new levels for the new medals or do you think they should be higher? I think 1,000 is good. Unique defeats are VERY VERY VERY hard to attain after a certain level without just blatantly inviting new recruits to games, which I NEVER do. I would like to see a numeral perhaps imposed over the medals to signify if you have doubled them. Someone mentioned that as a suggestion for example the roman numeral II over a trench medal to signify 2,000 unique wins. Q. Will you use the foe option to hunt the medals? Unfortunately I will and except for a few occasions I will only use it if I see the same person joining my games over and over that I already have the kill for. When you are talking 4 figures in unique kills that is a HUGE number. Q. List the best players you have come up against and what makes them good opponents. I have played numerous great opponents on this site and as I mentioned above a great all around well player on all settings and maps that keeps a high rank gets my respect. I would have to say HighlanderAttack is probably my number one draft pick when it comes to meeting all my criteria for a great player. When you can play tourneys and keep your rank and win percentage above 50% even when you play multiplayer games, it is very difficult and often you join these games against 4 or more lower ranked players all gunning for you and all risking 9 points to take 40 from you. Q. List the best players you have teamed up with. I know I am going to accidentally leave someone out, which is going to happen when you have played over 4,000 team games, but off the top of my head over just the last year or so.... killface, HighlanderAttack, HardAttack, alaskanassassin, xman5151, kmhebert, Djfireside, Tiller, Doc Dice, Shaun850 Q. Who is the most annoying person on the site? Any multi or convicted multi as they ruin the site. Q. Who is the biggest cheat you have seen? The multis that have been busted that have played over 1,000 games on the site. Too many to go back and research all of their usernames and as cheats they do not deserve to be recognized. Q. Will you ever have a run at conqueror? Could you make it there if you really went for it? No and I don't think so. To get there you really needed to take advantage of a map and setting and farm in the old days or in the new days get EXTREMELY tight with three other players and play a crap load of quad games under the same settings and gradually milk points from less experienced but more importantly less coordinated opponents. I enjoy playing the game way to much and against any opponent of any rank that I could never keep my rank up. You never see a conqueror post a public one v one game to join. Oh or you could and this is just speculation, do as some previous conquerors and start a new account and win on maps and settings form the get go. Q. Ass or breast man? I am a sucker for tight abs. Q. Would your family be surprised by how you write/talk/interact with people on here? Basically is the boohoo we all know an internet tough guy persona or are you really like that in real life? I have no problem calling people out in real life the way I do in a game. I am aware that CC is a game and is played to have fun, but cheating does not make it fun. If I sat at a table and played against 2 other players that were blatantly cheating, I would call them out to their face and use expletives. Q. I (Ace Rimmer) see you are in DC. Are you going to be affected by the upcoming sequestration? No, if I had a government job here, I would have been fired a long time ago with the amount of time spent on the web. Q. Why are you being interviewed before me (#1_stunna)? I guess because I can guarantee I have seen more on this site than pretty much anyone. Yes, I am aware of how bad that sounds. I take turns so fast, that I probably am on this site less than a lot of people believe it or not. It is always up on one of my screens, but unless I am playing a team game, they rarely take more than a few seconds to play. Q. How do you feel about multi's being able to buy back in? To be honest, I think everyone should have to pay after a trial period. Shit or get off the pot. I also feel that premiums should be able to have a setting when creating a game to restrict ranks, ie. no one less than 500 points from you can join a game. Such a huge topic I don't even want to ramble on about it. Q. Do you know what happened to waterman5000? I play so many people I cannot even recall playing him or what happened to him. Q. How did you pick your name? It was something issued to me randomly by my dial-up modem provider years ago using my dogs name at the time (Boo). Q. Would you have better luck if the dice in your avatar rolled 6s? Probably not. Q. Do you miss me (bigg chief)? Who should be the next big clan? I miss a lot of my old clan mates that I had good relations with and still enjoy seeing them in games that I play today, bigg chief included) I have been so removed from the clan life that I don't even know who is good anymore. So many clans are just really played with a small handful of people 6-8, that it can change vastly as people change clans. Q. How do you feel about being interviewed before #1stunna? This is actually my second time. I was interviewed years ago when I was churning out nothing but tourneys all the time. Q. Why did you leave the grim reapers? Is it because you wanted to join the pack? or was it because kmhebert was too friendly? I never tried to join the pack and I am not even sure who is in it. Q. What's your favorite color? Blue Q. What is your quest? As far as CC goes I guess I am a medal head so all diamonds, but if people knew me outside of CC, they would know that there is a shit ton more to me than this. Q. When you're constipated, do you ever think about buying a kitten? And people wonder why I foe them

Dukasaur Tournament Executive Battle Royale Casual Games by thehippo8 show
At the start of the year, as part of CC’s 7th Anniversary celebration, we had the exciting weekend event of speed Royale games on a variety of maps. That was followed by a number of casual games, which was equally as fun for all involved! Many of those who played in the big event also played in the casual games.

(The last few) Iron Maid yadayada thoffs (... not worried about not getting many points for the win) . It was terminator, so you only get points for who you eliminate. FreeFalling123 3.
