greenoaks . Just as a politician would, I'll just answer a slightly different yet somewhat related question, ha. Technically I am a moderator of the Conquer Club Newsletter and Announcements forums, just as a Discussions Moderator is for General Discussion, but unlike a Discussions Moderator, the main purpose of my "modship" is to run the Dispatch and help out with Special Events, so in that sense, I suppose you could say being an actual mod is a more peripheral role of mine. I suppose you could say a "real" moderator might be the Globals, since that is their sole purpose, essentially. To answer your actual question, I'd say I'm not against having a guest moderator answer a question every once and awhile ;)crazymilkshake5 wrote: whats up with your sig below the picture? (i.e. how did you get it, where did it come from)
gimil was re-inducted into the Cartographers team. As one of the 'softer' personalities of TeamCC (and perhaps the fact that I'm an old man? *shrugs*), I tend to be more...how should I put this? Agreeable than argumentative? Plus, I'm not that uptight and am pretty casual outside of official TeamCC business. (And I'm pretty sure posting stupid things on a regular basis probably is a factor as well, haha) I always take it as a sign of love. If being TeamCC's bitch makes the rest of TeamCC feel better, then I suppose I don't mind :) I just wish I could be the scapegoat for lackattack! I think he gets a lot of flak for the hours he puts into his thankless job (though, granted, he's making money, unlike us overworked, sleep-deprived volunteers, ha). Anyway, back to the question. Whenever I'm in Live Chat, Masli has convinced all of the Live Chat mods to "kick" me with the /me command, and the /kick command when in a private room, haha. And it has rather bled into forum posts in the main private room of the TeamCC forums. All in all, I take the title and responsibility with pride, just like I do with "Chief Executive" :)Ask A Mod! thread, so stop on by to ask anything you like, from questions about Conquer Club to TeamCC to maps to tournaments to clans to suggestions to C&A cases...to whatever! :)
Conquer Club Christmas Gift Ideas by safariguy5 show
It's the season of giving, and I thought I would extend that to the online community we have here. Now I'm not going to use this article to plug the store and suggest everyone get lots of shirts and coffee mugs, because that would be unethical of me as a journalist.Army of GOD would probably love a nice Tebow Fathead or something, and Symmetry would probably love some nice OT threads. But for the rest of us, I think the most general gift idea is probably points. A nice bundle of points for Christmas is basically like giving someone money for their birthday. Not very imaginative. So I'll suggest some alternatives to points.

show: Interrogation of rdsrds2120
Hi rds! No time for pleasantries, onwards!! Q. What do you looooove about modding? CC in general? Oh modding. It's an...interesting little job for sure, but I'd have to say I love organizing events/facilitating/organizing projects/things more than I do the actual disciplinary side. I like being a resource for people, and I have people who regularly ask me questions and that's awesome. CC in general? The people and forums. I'm only in 5 active games right now, and what keeps me coming back are the regular funny posters (natty, AoG, jones) and the ones that really contribute (BBS, saxy, Symmetry to name a few). Q. How long did it take to get the mafia forum proposal approved? The Mafia Forum reorganization was never really a matter of getting it 'approved', but getting it organized and done. Once it had been brought to our attention that the forum needed to be reorganized and rethought about, it was deciding what goes where and how to do it. To help celebrate the new forum, we created Official Mafia/Forum Games to be held occasionally as a cool and fun way to give out prizes for a wider audience than those that come here just to go to war on a battlefield ;). Overall time from proposal to execution though: Wed Nov 24, 2010 11:06 am -- Tue Apr 05, 2011 9:45 am are the timestamps I have on certain reference threads, So 4 months, 11 daysish! Q. Will you be playing mafia games again, or has Photoshop swallowed your time? Ha! I like to keep active in at least one game at a time, but yes Photoshop among other things (school mostly) have really started eating up my time. I enjoy the extra time over break to really come back and catch up, and I hope I'm a little bit better at time management in the future 8-[ Q. If you lost your body and had to put it into a Frankenstein monster made up of at least 3 animals, which animals you'd you use and what parts? Honey Badger claws, Bear feet, the rest is nag's bod. I WILL BE HIM!:O! Q. When are you going to come meet me in London? When someone else buys a ticket! Then we'll have awesome nights out, ha. Bars in London. Q. When are you going to text me? :mrgreen: Yesterday! Q. What are your views on this article? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/artic%20...%20ds-newsxml Whoever wrote that article objectifying him is pretty heartless. It's kind of interesting, but hey, stranger things have happened. Q. You have a birthday coming up soon! Any big plans? Went clubbin'! Q. Tell me how fun Global-modding is. Oh man, this question. I knew it was coming up. Well, you get fans along the way. The one I remember most was theherkman. I think he may have had a crush on me! It was like he followed me around! Global-modding is interesting. You could technically do a lot with your forum priveleges everywhere, but it's mostly in Gen Disc. or OT that they're really used (and Suggs and stuff). I think we should start branching off more to maybe help other Dept.'s when needed. When I first started, I got a thanks for moving things around in the Bug Reports forum accordingly, so it can be used in places you wouldn't suspect! Q. What is your favorite mafia role? And which one do you think fits you the most? I love being a 3rd Party Serial Killer, then you don't have to lie when you're saying you're not Mafia, haha. Hmm...if I had to pick one that represented me the most, I guess I'd pick the Masons. Keep it secret, keep it safe :-$. Q. What is your most memorable mafia game? On here? I think it was one of the RT ones in Live Chat one day. It was Rodion and I mostly trying to persuade someone else who to vote for and I had won. It was great. Q. What do you have against designer shades? Well, they hide your face, and it's probably cuz', you think you're cooler than me. 8-) Q. When are you going to buy me some premium? NEVER! Well, unless I run into a large some of money, then I might haha. I need $$ for things like soap and food etc. I know, I know, commodities, but I'm addicted to my luxuries :P Q. Do you enjoy being a chat mod as well as a global mod? You bet. It's really nice, actually, since I'm a global, I have ban access for handling the little stuff that doesn't necessarily need Head Chatter clearance, so it's great for productivity. Q. Has either post improved how you deal with the other post? Well, at first it was a little odd, because the scales/ways for dealing for offenses are altered a slight bit than in the forums, so it took some adjusting to multitask them both. Q. How did we ever talk you into become an SoC Team Training teacher? You didn't, I volunteered, and I'm loving it ;) Q. Have you secretly cloned yourself to deal with all this work on your plate? Twice in fact. I blame Obamacare that it's not working!! Q. You've beaten me about a hundred million times in team training matches. How many goats is that worth? 4 if one of them is named Derek and another is allergic to Victor Sullivan. If not, Betty White. Q. What do you say to these allegations that you've fathered a child with a 20-year-old? What allegations? Who? I don't know what you're talking about! Well, time to move to Little Rock and start my new life as a street musician. Q. What specifically turned you off from participating in competitive clans? What would you change to improve the clan experience? Well, every clan I've been in was really fun at first! I mean, it's never been the people that have mad me leave for sure, it was the constant games. I'm more of a speed freestyle player myself, and always having to be in team games where I couldn't have an appropriate sitter was just hard at times. I don't think there is something that could be changed in policy or the like to make clans more fun to me. It's not you, it's me D: Q. Is it because you can't share your password with other clan mates because you are a Mod? That actually is part of it. Kind of a bummer, but we carry on. Q. Do you think all the baiting and attacks that your clan has received from players like jefjef and a couple of others, that has stopped you participating in clan wars? Nawh, I usually try to avoid the politics. I deal with them enough as a mod, haha. Q. Do you actually watch Glee? You bet your ass I do. Q. Is Blitzaholic the Rachel Berry of Conquer Club? Well, there are similarities and differences. Rachel talks. A LOT. I don't see a lot of long talking from Blitz, mostly short posts or nothing these days (save Tournaments). However, if we had to compare competitive drive, I'd say spot on. He seems to spend a lot of time wanting to be the best here, which is something Rachel would do I imagine. Also, there was a bit of drama as we're all well aware, which Rachel sure knows how to do. Q. What's your favourite food? Quische . Q. Hobby? MTG (Wonderfully horribly addicting card game!) Q. Board game? Quelf by far. If you ever get a chance to play and don't mind near-public humiliation, go for it. It's an absolute blast. Q. Do you play any online games other than CC? Nawh, this place eats up most of my online time. Well, I do play Tetris when I'm bored. I don't know if that counts though :-s Q. What do you think of blueberry pancakes? Delicious in every country except uzbeki-beki-beki-stan-stan-stan. Q. Ever fought three people at once in a fistfight? Does one really big person count? If so then yes. Dude was at least 400. He tripped and I won, graceful I know, but I'll take a win. Q. "I think, therefore I am." True or false? If "I am" implies mere existence, then yes. If it implies some other obscure ancient-Chinese-se-cret, then I'd have to say no. Thanks for your time rds! No problem! Seeya around! :D

Meet the Winners: Robespierre__ by WorldCup4James show: interview with robespierre
Colonel Robespierre__ has just recently picked up his thirteenth Tournament Achievement medal, triumphing in TheCrown 's Strain Your Brain VORTEX ~ , an extensive, multi-phase compilation of the TheCrown 's 19 "Strain Your Brain" tournaments. Robespierre__ to our next edition of the Meet the Tournament Winners' series. It's quite revolutionary! Get the pun? Yes, yes? Lame attempt at humor? Indeed. To start, what appealed to you about this particular tournament that TheCrown hosted? TheCrown is not a stranger to coming up with) which mixed singles and multi-player games and had people getting byes for doing well early, getting a bonus point for winning a 1v1 going second and giving the higher seed the ability to pick the maps upon which the battle lines would be drawn (from a set list). The list of participants at the moment I found the tourney was already pretty good so I felt like I should support the hard work TheCrown puts into the site. I tend to join tournaments for people that put real time into CC. I have two kids under two years old so I can't be one that does a lot of organizing.What was it that set you apart from the other competitors and enabled you to claim victory? Did any game stand out for you as being particularly noteworthy? jsnyder748 , there actually was a game which stood out for me. In the Round Three 4-person Flat Rate, Foggy game (the format for the Round was a 1v1 against all three players in your group plus one 4-person Flat Rater to determine who advanced to Round Four), we found ourselves on Solar System . I nearly drew the Neptune bonus and finished it in my first round. From there I grabbed a territory per turn and started to squirrel away troops next to the warp gate out of sight. I lucked into two of the others competing for the Earth/Moon bonus and apparently managed to keep the others thinking that someone was keeping me in check by making sure to leave a weak territory for one of them to grab. I cashed and kept stacking in the back as much as I could to the point that I had about 35 troops next to the warp gate. From there I waited until the gent who had won the battle for Earth/Moon had 4 spoils, went through the warp gate, eliminated him, and by then it was too late for the others to do anything. I felt that game was one of the few that I won by "strategery" rather than by fiat of the dice-gods.So you plan on teaching the next generation your tricks to the trade of risk-taking... ;) ;) Oaktown 's Central America . I find it to be the best 2v2 map out there. It is very well balanced and is a constant challenge to come up with the best decision. I always feel like my team is one bad turn from defeat even as you think you have the advantage. Most maps have so much dead space that is irrelevant to the game -- you end up waging war in one or two areas each time you play the map and the winner gradually spreads out and absorbs all that meaningless territory on the way to victory. On Central America, most all of the territory is strategically relevant, and you end up playing the map slightly differently each time you play.I know that the dice-gods will punish me for self-congratulatory call out. Curses.
In that case, this interview has cursed your intensity cubes for life :lol:of course Tarcellius can attest to the huge lifesuck that the little ones create. But it is the best thing that can ever happen to a person, and I am relishing every day I have with my daughter and now newborn son.Ah, so there is reasoning behind your name? History buffs certainly would be interested in knowing why you'd choose the name of "The Incorruptible", Maximilien Robespierre, the leading figure of the French Revolution?? :lol: Well I wish you a nice reign of terror against all your opponents! Only 14,000 opponents to beat... :lol: It certainly is great to have a connection with the thousands of devout risk-takers out there :D
Meet the Winners: abygorb by Fuzzy316 show: interview with abygorb
This month we have the privilege of bringing the winner of the 2011 World Cup of Risk winner abygorb , who triumphed over the course of months of game-play to secure the win for Mexico! abygorb has entered a variety of tournaments throughout the time he has been involved with CC. This particular tournament is his biggest tournament victory to date. He has won several tournaments overall and really enjoys playing against such a wide variety of opponents. What made you decide to join this tournament when it came out? In this particular tournament, were there times when you felt it was over, and have you ever entered any kind of contest in real life for strategy games? Why do you join tournaments in general? What is the draw for you? What interested you in CC in the first place, and why did you choose it over other sites you may have played on? Do you have any favorite wins? Are there any particular games you either won or lost that make you go.. man.. I remember when...? Looking at your tourney history win: This is your fifth tourney win overall, and the third this year. Your first two wins look like they were done in the international scene, and were over a year apart. Having won 3 this year (two of which were my own tourneys), have you done anything to change your game which you feel may have played a hand in increasing your tourney wins? I hate moving or not moving in the right spots. It can be such a game changer. Of course, ConquerClubBob can help with that. I feel that there are some aspects of the tool gets annoying. It's kind of like Windows asking are you sure you want to install? Are you sure you want to allow? Are you sure...etc. I use it for many of the other factors, and turn off the ones that annoy me. :-$Do you still participate in the international Tournaments? There are a number of Tournament Organizer's out there, do you feel like you may enter the scene and challenge some people to a tournament you run, or do you like simply looking for the challenges to take on? Do you have any goals or achievements that you are trying to accomplish here on CC? Any tips for other CC tourney players still struggling for their first tournament win? What are some of your interests outside of CC? What is your favorite color? You say you are interested in traveling the world. What is the most awesome/memorable place you have been? Your soapbox, anything else you would like to comment on, add or otherwise punish us with random insane thoughts? Wait.. who said that? No, it wasn't me. Who is that? No they are not talking about you they mean us. ;)

Tourney of the Week by NoSurvivors show
Hey all, for all you who know me I'm the Surv, introducing my new section, Tourney of the Week, an in-depth look at a tournament currently in the sign-up stage. 2012 World Classic is a huge tourney holding sign-ups until Christmas. Its a tourney for all classic Risk players, and still need quite a few sign ups. This tourney takes players from all around the world, as it is split up into pools (Such as Oceania , the different states of the USA, different provinces of Canada, ETC.) Your pool depends on where you are from.
Hello, hello! Actually it's Sully here again, covering for
thehippo8 during his vacation! Ah, how odd it is that I am back here again (well, not so odd, I've only been Chief for around a month). Anywho, hippo still managed a Christmas article, suitable for time and theme, and koontz knocks 'em dead with two articles, one thinking ahead to the new year! Enjoy :)
Victor SullivanChief Executive All I want for Christmas ... by thehippo8 show
Yuletide and Jingle Bells, full stomachs and presents are all very well, but there are a few wishes that would be nice to come true in the Foundry too. Some simple, some not, some do-able and others simply insane. Are any of these on your wish list?Please may I win the Festival Foundry Fun competition? MrBenn ’s inspiration: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a small image (around 75px wide by 55px high) that represents something festive / wintery / christmassy. Once you have created your design (using the image-editing software of your own choosing), please feel free to post it within this thread, embedded within tags.
Click image to enlarge. Can we please have the Development Atlas updated or re-instigated? Ooh, ooh, can I have two player AND multi-player versions of maps? ? ender516 suggested:If the XML is different, then the gameplay is different, and the records should be kept separate. Put them on the map browser as D-Day (2 Player) and D-Day (3 or more). There's no reason why two maps could not be created using common images (or separate but identical copies) and different XML files. And apparently, the system can enforce an upper limit on the number of players (some maps are restricted to six or less, I believe). So restricting that further to just two players seems relatively straightforward. However, it would likely require code changes to enforce a new minimum number of players. I can only speculate as to how extensive such changes would be, but it is hard to imagine them being much of anything.
And if you can do that can we have a map filter with different perspectives? ? Click image to enlarge. What about three three dimensional maps? ? Click image to enlarge. natty_dredd explained ... All you do is cross your eyes, like when looking at something really close. Try putting a finger next to the tip of your nose and staring at your finger, then just slowly move the finger away while keeping your eyes in that position. You should see the 2 map images as 3 images now, with the middle image being a sort of overlay of the 2. Once you can focus your gaze on the 3rd image, you should see it in 3d.
MrBenn ’s club: After about 15 minutes my wife asked me what I was doing and said I looked really stupid.
And now, Saint nick, that I have an excellent idea for a map, can you please give me a drawing tool for GIMP? ? natty_dredd ) already gave that to us in May!Click image to enlarge. And can I please have a proper working probability calculator? ? MrBenn ) Worked on two versions of a calculator to work out the probabilitycalculate the probability of dropping a particular bonus region on a map, that also takes 'build-your-own' bonuses into consideration.
MrBenn suggested the solution involves Hypergeometric Probabilities rather than Binomials...

Welcome Readers to the Platoon's Report on all things Clan
First things first, the Clan Directors (CD's) are still contemplating applications to their team, so throw your hat into the ring if you'd like to contribute in an important role for the Clan Community. (More information at the
Volunteer Callout on specifics on applying)
Also, remember to hit up your clan leaders on CLA news that I'm no longer privy to ;) (like the advent of Season 4 of the Clan League, with Sign-ups billed for the turn of the year, and commencement slated to start by Mid January).
However, coming back to the exciting issue we have for you today, I'm excited to welcome
QuikSilver and
DJoach to our clan team - courtesy of the Dispatch's own Application Callout also visible in the link above.
These two new additions to the our reporting team break new ground with the foreign language element we're excited to see them bring to the table, as they unveil the first article dual-cast in a foreign language (french) that I've seen in the CC Newsletter. Since we've had Foreign Language Forums for so long on our Board Index, it's finally nice to see them get some representation in the Newsletter as well.
And of course what better article for these intrepid reporters to write on than the tale of the history and formation of their clan
LHDD We have been using more and more abbreviations and acronyms of clan names lately, so remember to peruse the
[Official] List of Clans to decipher any quandary's you may be in.
Leehar Clan Executive LHDD interview by QuikSilver & DJoach show
Every clan has it's story... I'll tell you how ``Les Hussards du Dragon`` were made...Dragon Dor would like to quit one of the best clan on CC (IA) to create his own, we can ask ourselves, if this by avidity, selfishness, or for new challenges? When we ask him the question he first laughs, «It's true I love gold medals and shiny stuff, but it's more because of the linguistic barrier». He's not the only one that left a top clan to join the LHDD, as for example Fairman and DJoach also came from an elite clan like LoW. Mishalex : «I wasn't expecting to find such a good vibe. To find very good partners that maintain my motivation to play on this site». Is this the first reason for having a clan? To have fun playing with your partners, improve your game level and get some new stimulating challenges? pamoa says: « of course we are a sect, we got our own secret language, called french! Hard to understand while not in it, it's simply phonetic, useful to read what Dragon Dor is writing! haha». Lancelot du Lac : «This clan is in the image of Dragon, i.e. brief! ;) »note: All citations have been translated from French
