Mini interview of Fircoal Mafia Callouts Replacement Thread to see what games are in need of reserves/replacements.viewforum.php?f=213 Advanced Roles and Strategy by safariguy5 The Vigilante What is it? Example How to Play this Role town . A common beginner's mistake is start making kills on Night 1 and every subsequent night. In any game, the ratio of town to mafia is much greater than 50-50, and it's extremely difficult to guess who might be mafia on Day 1. The Vigilante should be careful and not draw too much attention, and being forced to claim and preoccupying the doctor protection makes it more difficult for cops and other investigative roles to receive protection later on in the game. Good early targets for Vigilantes generally are Jesters if they exist in the game. Cult recruiters can also warrant Vigilantes to start using their Nightkill earlier, in hopes of hitting a cult member or recruiter himself to keep the cult in check. But in standard setup games where there are only town and mafia, Vigilantes become much more useful in the mid to late game when cops may have more than one guilty result to reveal.

The TPA (Tournament Players Association ) is nearing the end.sonicsteve is still at the top the scoreboard with 40.62 points. He is frankly running away with it. It's like he is a Yankees hitter and the pitchers are Red Sox.

Join This? Or Not! by sonicsteve show
This is our regular look at just a few of the tournaments currently in the sign-up stage:deantursx debut tournament caught my eye - Mercenaries will see each player assume the role of a mercenary, pitting their wits against others through 6 elimination rounds with 6 games at a time. The TO has planned a nice selection of maps for the mercs to tackle, with varying settings. 36 entrants needed, sign up here spidey ’s FA Cup tournament is already half-full, but with a total of 136 spots, there is still plenty of opportunity to join the action. The structure is similar to the format of the English FA Cup, which may need a little explanation for those unfamiliar with football (soccer) in my fair country. Essentially lower ranked teams play each other in the early rounds for the right to progress, while the high-ranked teams are given byes. spidey will sort the players by rank to mimic the real-world event. Sign up here Emergency Roadside Assistance which is a terminator-style tournament with a twist, created by Fuzzy316 . One of the losers in each round will be put back on the tournament road with the help of the emergency services. 128 spots are available here Mr. President, sir, we have a situation. We have to move you to a safer location... Protect the President by shieldgenerator7 is very unusual in that the TO invites players to nominate a president in each game. Once the votes are in each player will take on the role of President, Assassin or Security Guard. This is an ambitious concept and I recommend that you read the rules carefully before signing up here . 12 slots were still available for this 32 player event at the time of writing.Requests for Immediate Players section of the tournament forum.

It's been an interesting fortnight in the clan world, both inside and out. Latest news has it that the BpB-Thota war has been locked again due to the controversy engendered therein, and discomfiting rumors abound on
Conqueror's Cup initial wars not being applicable for medal hand-outs.
My co-reporter for this issue
Jigger1986 , and I have updates on the situation for the Conquerors and
Newcomers Cups respectively, but there are also events in the
1v1 Challenge where Empire and FOED both reach the final, and particularly noteworthy is the inspirational display by The Spanking Monkeys in holding off IA's entrance to the
Clan League Final with a determined stand in
Game 8794802 - a game written off by many more than a month ago.
Conquerors Cup 2-Round 2 Update by Leehar (Nem) show
Welcome to another wrap-up of the second round of the premier clan tournament. The games have progressed significantly since the last update and we're looking at a tense finale as more and more games approach their swansong. Most of the match-ups are very closely contested affairs, but we do have some relative blow-outs in leads on face-value, so let's get to the nitty gritty and see how the end result is really shaping up 12 vs. 9 The Horseman of the Apocalypse vs. The Bullet Proof Bandits Mr Changsha of the BpB declaring victory in the verbal spars, it's now up to Thota to pull off the victory where it counts. Contrary to some recent matches involving Thota, they took the lead early in this set and they really don't look like they plan on relinquishing it to the upstarts the BpB represent. After all, with a 15 place difference in the seedings, and Thota coming in as first ranked and losing finalists there really wasn't as much expectation of them falling at the first hurdle as many would have hoped after some very public affairs regarding their members. With a lot of the final games composing of No Spoils, a rough estimate does give Thota 9 advantages they can use for victory. BpB however, have shown their ability before and have numerous leads of their own, so the final score could be anywhere upwards from 22 wins for thota and 16 for BpB. 20 vs. 13 Agents of Chaos vs. The Fantastic Four-Skins 16 vs. 9 Legends of War vs. ++The Legion++ 13 vs. 8 The Spanking Monkeys vs. A Fistful of Sixes 17 vs. 9 Knights of the Round Table vs. Generation One encounter . G1 are again pushing Kort extremely hard, and while there are many games too close to call, as an echo to the Thota-BpB match, the defending champions look to have just enough in their tank (udder?) to get at least the 4 more victories they need to ensure advancement to the next round. A recent twist in the tale comes in however as G1 open a C&A case against Kort star-player josko.ri , stay tuned for the details to see what arises from these allegations.14 vs. 4 Fraternal Order of Exceptional Drinkers vs. Immortal Assassins Clan League . It's still early days yet with many games yet to be decided, but it appears that IA have their backs hard against the wall. A rough assessment gives enough of a lead in the remaining games for Foed to scrape through, but who knows if early celebrations by Foed could end up with their lead disappearing into the night at the assassins behest (along with the heads of their leaders 19 vs. 8 Empire vs. Nemesis 12 vs. 10 Brethren of the Fat Mermaid vs. The Odd Fellows Union
Newcomers Cup Finals by Jigger1986 (GR) show
To some the Newcomers Cup may be a side show overshadowed by the larger Clan League and Conquerors Cup activities. Regardless of however under-ranked, under-rated and under-estimated the clans in this challenge are, heads have been turning and CC players "in the know" on the clan scene are noticing the fierce competition this cup has seen. Starting with 12 clans the field has now been narrowed down to 3 clans who will battle in 3 way round robin finals to determine the winner.Grim Reapers The Pack Great-Ollie and John Deere formed the clan and after being denied a spot in the Conquerors Cup set out on a war path that is now 5 wins long. At first considered among the top 5 clans in the challenge, their "walk in the park" wins over Welsh Dragons and Spelunkers of Hell in the first two rounds have proven that this clan is definitely a top contender for the title. Now considered the favorites to win, The Pack look to push their war record to 7-0, but will have some stiff competition in the finals.One Step Ahead Benga , the host of the Newcomers Cup, One Step Ahead was initiated into the clan scene on CC, playing 5 simultaneous wars. Most notable in these wars was a close loss to Devils Brigade, but since that loss this clan has proven to be one step ahead of the competition. After a breezy victory against Order 66 in the first round of the cup, OSA met Wild Geese in the semi finals. In a war that many considered to be a disappointment happening in the second round instead of the finals, OSA were able to pull off a narrow win against the more experienced WG and clinch their spot in the finals. By far the most exciting war of the competition so far, I'm sure this is a battle that neither clan will forget any time soon. Newcomers Cup Thread for updates on the action. For specific clan war updates check out the Active Challenges Sub-Forum and look for clan wars tagged [NC] to signify the Newcomers Cup.
