Welcome Comrades to the 67th edition of the Dispatch
Woo, doggie! It's good to be back! I hope you all thoroughly enjoyed your π Day; I know I certainly did
So much to talk about! First, Conquer Club has finally put their partnership with SOS Africa into action! See that "Just Giving" widget on the left side of your screen? Well, Conquer Club is raising money to sponsor a child's education in Africa - a girl named Kelebogile! If and when the community donates a total of ₤600 (about $950 USD), we get a brand new Africa map!
For more information, click here to view the announcement. Second, the Cartography Assistants have issued a North America contest and the voting has started! With over 100 votes, Map 3 seems to be pulling well in front, but it is by no means all wrapped up! The CAs have also designed a special Round 2 judging process by them, AndyDufresne, and various Foundry regulars. Who do you think will win?
Click here to cast your vote! Third, it seems our dear Conqueror,
Gen.LeeGettinhed , is getting a bit more than just that. Reports of "ranching" in the Cheating & Abuse forum have risen against the highest-scoring player. The webmaster himself,
lackattack , openly agreed with the large majority of the community on the matter, saying,
lackattack wrote: I don't like it either when our Conqueror gets his points from cheap tactics. We just don't have a solution yet.
However, it has repeatedly been stated that ranching is not against the rules, due to the difficulty of enforcing it (i.e. where do you draw the line?). In the most recent report against Gen.LeeGettinhed, support administrator,
king achilles , stated,
king achilles wrote: As for these Ranching reports, we are aware of this issue and we are also thinking of solutions in addressing this subject just so you know. And as what deathcomesrippin said, it still boils down to the fact that even though his tactics may be considered not of the "highest quality", they are still legal.
That's it for news from me for this issue. I think it's time for the segment you've all been waiting for for a couple issues now! To make up for the two we've missed, I'll be naming three Subscribers of the Issue! The first, for Issue 65,

And to all of you Subscribers who get this PM'd and don't read this in the CC Newsletter forum, I will now make the header a click-able link to the thread, so you can post comments, questions, suggestions - whatever!
Well, we've got a swell issue for you, from a double-dose of "Historical Perspectives" with
DoomYoshi to an in-depth assessment of strategies regarding the infamous 'bonus monkey' (and how to not be one) with

Historical Perspectives by DoomYoshi show
Sorry about the missed article last time. This time we will get a double-sized feature to make up for it! To recap: W.T. Sherman conquered Atlanta, and wants to evacuate the citizens to raze the town as part of his scorched earth policy. The Confederate General, Hood, thinks this is the cruelest thing ever. Sherman replied that the actions he has seen in the war so far mean that any definition of cruelty is pointless. ATLANTA, GA., September 11, 1864. Sherman thought about this petition and replied hastily: HDQRS. MILITARY DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI, For the first time, Sherman made public his perception of cruelty, of war and of the necessary results and interrelations of both.
show: Interrogation of Symmetry
Q. Why not asymmetry? Symmetry is much more interesting, but anyway I took my username from William Blake's "The Tyger" way before I started on this site. I wrote my dissertation on him, and when I had to come up with a cool sounding name for MSN messenger, I went with Fearful Symmetry. I was young, and pretentious. Now I'm older, and only a bit less pretentious. Symmetry stuck. Q. Bilateral or radial? Fearful, see above. Q. Have you ever forgotten to turn your schwag off? I don't know what this means, but I consulted Urban Dictionary, and it suggests either cheap pot or promotional merchandise. I have never inhaled promotional merchandise, or been turned off cheap pot. Q. What do you do for a living? I'm a researcher- most of my money comes from funding my PhD project, or from research, teaching, or editing jobs associated with it. Q. What was your major in college? English Lit, and Renaissance history. Not a big money spinner that one. Q. What is your favourite cocktail? I don't really do cocktails- I'm not a fan of sweet stuff. Maybe a Long Island ice tea. A few good nights started out with a few of those, and ended with me waking up on a train home. Q. ASL + Stats I can sign my name, and know a few basic phrases, but that's in BSL. I don't really know how they match up. Q. What brand, sub-brand and product line of deodorant do you use? (e.g. Old Spice Sweat Defence Fresh; Gillette Regular Arctic Blast, etc.) As long as it's cheap, and isn't Lynx, I generally do ok with anything. Polo Blue is always a good choice for covering the worst. Q. I (saxitoxin) will give you one of the following vehicles, however, you may not sell it, barter it, or in any other way make a profit off it. You will have to pay for your own fuel, insurance and so forth. You also may not give it away before 5 years have passed. Do you accept my gift and, if so, which do you choose? I don't drive, or have anywhere to put a horse, so whichever of those has the highest resale value. If we're assuming I have to keep my choice, I could probably eat the horse. Q. How do you walk into Mordor? Via google maps , obviously. Q. Do you have a favorite thread? What's a subject or two that you don't know much about, but wish you did, albeit due to being interesting or practical? Of my own? That would be the Cute Baby Animal Appreciation Thread. From other people, I don't know. There are a lot that I enjoy for different reasons. It's no secret that I like to talk about American politics, so some of my favourites have been where I got to see sides of a debate that were unavailable to me in the UK. Q. Is 1984 overrated? And a follow up if you so desire, why, or why not overrated? In my opinion: Q. Where do you come out on the VIDEO issue? Astronauts Q. In Hume's 'Enquiries concerning human understanding and concerning the principles of morals' in the first section of An Enquiry concerning the principles of morals there is a description of a particular type of character, a description which matches very neatly with an off topic poster. Which poster would that be? I wouldn't dare to speculate Q. Do you steal rolls? Or are you a bun man? Which would make the question, do you steal buns? Obviously. Depends on the contents, but I feel temptation. Q. Who do you think is the most annoying off topic poster? I wouldn't dare to speculate. Q. VIDEO Naomily right?! Aww shucks that's not really a question. It is not. Q. A bunch of reasons- I got quite ill a while ago and couldn't be sure if I'd be online or be out for a few days at a time. I also like to play long games on big maps, so not a great combo if there's a chance of deadbeating. Plus the off-topics are plenty of fun anyway. Q. Who taught you to spell your ID? Cemetary is spelled with a C and fewer M's Big bad Billy Blake, but then he also used "Tyger", so maybe not the best teacher. Q. How can you be here over 5 years -- and only play 66 games? that's like. . .um, carry the 8. . .maybe <10/yr Ah, my dear Generally Getting Head, at some point you will learn that life isn't about keeping score in these kinds of relationships. If you leave behind a long trail of short term flings with young naifs, is that really better than having a smaller number of long relationships that you savour and remember? Turning tricks isn't my way, nor am I so obsessed with keeping score. Q. Your profile pic looks like you are chewing on an infant's shoe. Do you have a fetish? It looks like Yukio Mishima, that being who it's a picture of. Q. If nagerous and clapper011 arm-wrestled, who would win? I wouldn't dare to speculate. Q. Is the plural of Symmetry: Symmetries or Siemmetries, or what? Symmetries Q. Did you pick an ID with two M's because you love M&M's? Good thing you didn't like Whattchamakallits. I hate M&M's. If you want chocolate, get chocolate. If you want candy, get candy. Don't buy something that ends up being neither, but in tiny portions. Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE ANIME "CANDY CANDY?" YOU A FAN? I've never seen it. Q. Your five FAV Eurovision songs ever? The best thing about Eurovision in the UK is Terry Wogan commentating while obviously getting more drunk as the whole charade heads into the night. Q. If you had to choose one of the following mythical creatures to exist in real-life, with all the attendant powers it had in popular legend, which would you choose and why?Bibendum Snegurochka Tomte Santa Claus. Mainly for saving money on Christmas presents. Also, possibility of fossil fuel deliveries during winter months. Q. What... is my (crazymilkshake5) name? It's crazymilkshake5. You and your four older siblings were named by lazy lazy hippies. Q. What Pokemon would you be if you had to choose? Jigglypuff, obviously.
Issue 67 is out and it looks like another two great articles from the Strategy Section for your consideration to make your games more enjoyable.
First we have Crazymilkshake5 with a cross analysis of Game principles and those of real life. And some where in between we even get a bit of a history lesson to boot. So be sure to read "CC in History" by Crazymilkshake5.
Then we have the first part of a three part article series about what is, and what is not a Bonus Monkey and when is it OK to conquer a bonus zone. "The Bonus Monkey is Your Friend, Leave Him for last Part 01" by Viceroy63, Promises to be an eye full.
We here at the Strategy Team are dedicated to serving you with thought provoking articles that make you go, "Hmmm," =) so if there is anything in particular that you, the reader, would like to see us working on or write about, in the way of strategy, Please feel free to let us know.

Viceroy63 CC in History crazymilkshake5 show
----------------------------French Invasion of Russia ----------------------------------guerrilla warfare tactics (I'll get into that later). But guerrilla warfare wasn't the only trick they had up their sleeves; It was the Bait and Snare trick that was the downfall of the French. What the Bait and Snare trick is, can be divided into 3 steps.Step one, Set the Bait Get to St. Petersburg . While the French were marching towards St. Petersburg, the Russians ambushed them with guerrilla warfare (a tactic of hiding, waiting, and then ambushing them when they didn't expect it). This made Napoleon mad, increasing his desire to get to St. Petersburg, weakening his ranks and also destroying his troops’ morale. Step two, No Way Out Troops , supplies , and morale . One of the ways the Russians stopped the French from getting supplies is by burning towns before the French got there. Step 3, An Easy Kill
The Bonus Monkey is your Friend; Leave him for last! Part 01 by Viceroy63 show
The Bonus Monkey is your Friend, Leave him for last. chapcrap wrote: PBecquey wrote: New player here... noob, I guess. What exactly is a "bonus monkey"?
They are referring to an escalating card game with a large number of players. Typically a bonus like Australia or something will not determine the winner of the game. The bonuses from the cards will get into the 30s, 40s, or even higher, so the small bonuses don't mean much.
A bonus monkey is someone who sacrifices too much to go after a bonus in these games.
Hello again my friends, and welcome to your favorite part of the Newsletter, "War Games", where you can find information about CC Tournaments!
Well, after the gargantuan effort that we put into Issue 66, most of my team elected to take a break this time around, so this will be a brief edition of War Games. (Incidentally, it seems that not all subscribers received Issue 66. You can always go and read it in the
forum version. Especially if you've been waiting to see our interviews with MudPuppy, greenoaks, or koontz1973, I suggest you check it out.)
The news in the Tournaments world right now are the
pretty new tags in the Create/Join forum. I haven't gotten used to them yet, but most people are delighted with them.

This is the VLOOKUP, or vertical lookup function.select the list of player's names by dragging down your mouse from A3 to B18 On the Excel menu select Insert/Name/Define Type in a suitable name - say "Table" (notice that the range of the table is defined correctly as "=SheetName!$A$3:$B$18") Click OK and you are done Click on the first blank cell (G3) Click the fx button next to the tick and cross Type V and select VLOOKUP Into the Vlookup_value box click on E3 Into the Table_array type "Table" Into the column index number type "2" (so that you select the 2nd column of your table) Into the Range-lookup type "FALSE" (to exclude near matches)

War of Wizards – a study in gameplay development by thehippo8 show
In Issue 53 I wrote about modelling in Chess revisited: What is the essence of the game? gameplay in Gimme Good Gamieness War of Wizards The map natty dread is a seasoned performer in the Foundry. When he isn’t throwing his weight behind others, he’s there leading the way himself. War of Wizards Click image to enlarge. No ... go back and have a proper look before moving on with this article!! I mean it! ... you won’t get as much out of this if you don’t! Ok, back to the article then!!
natty dread has modelled Master of Magic – the MSDOS game – but added his own flavour and conception. NB: Picture courtesy of Progrock85 natty dread . This is how you deal with developing the idea of a game without standing on other people’s copyright toes. I discussed this briefly in Issue 58 in Copyright: Woo-ooo-oooh! Discussion about gameplay natty dread is such a good artist, his initial map wowed the audience. A supersize stamp on page one of the thread, a draft stamp on page two and on page four isaiah40 started talking about an imminent gameplay stamp. A lesser mortal would grasp that with both hands, but natty dread is made of sterner stuff and promptly advises isaiah40 that he clearly made a mistake as gameplay hadn’t been worked out. Although by this stage there’d already been a few iterations, it didn’t take long for the audience to ramp up suggestions that resulted in no less than two redraws to date(have a look at koontz1973 ’s 1982 if you want to see similar dedication). In the process, it became clear that gameplay revolved around a function of placement of towers, bonus tokens, correct linkages and neutral quantum. In other words, complex! But they are nearly there (if not there) and unless you have something to add I suspect that the gameplay is good to go for Beta!Application of my funny chart! Choices - Each tower has unique gameplay, whether you are a light or dark wizard, with decisions to make between where you go on the ground, which tokens you take, when to go for the spells and when to go for gold (literally and figuratively)Compelling reason to make one decision or another - Seems to me that if you sit back too long then you’ll miss out because you’ll just let the other wizards get too strong, but attack too soon too hard and you’ll weaken yourself unnecessarilyInability to determine the result of a decision - It is impossible to know the choices of your opponent(s) as they, like you, have different choices to make, that creates an element of the unknown, a discernable unknown, but an unknown all the sameDecisions are non-trivial - I see no waste here, make your decisions right!There is a series of choices leading to an ultimate objective The game will finish by your good choices resulting in you taking out the competition (note that nuclear or game limit will add layers of complexity to this) [i]Complexity of choices - This map certainly has a lot happening, although not so much as to be mind-boggling Rules not too complex - The rules are clear and succinctIndeterminate result of choices - Games are fun because you never fully know the consequences of your actions (covered to a degree already)Time dependency - The game is not time dependent, there is a balance which will allow players to carefully consider each move and because of the options involved losses on one part of the board can be compensated by gains in anotherContextual dependency - The map is fully contextually dependent, this has a connection to the question on choices leading to an ultimate objective, but the thematic elements add also a layer of funPointless choices - None that I can seePredetermination - None that I can seePointless or counterproductive choices - Plenty of options to screw up here, but the map doesn’t contain dead zones or pointless actions other than contextually during the game itself (ie making the wrong decision)Fair gameplay - Gameplay is balanced and fairOpportunity to learn strategy - I believe that the options here are limitless, the game will seem fresh each time it is played as you will have to adapt and develop your decisions based on where you start and whether you are a light or dark wizardProgressive and rational rules - The game will proceed with a degree of increasing tension with each move and the options will become starker and clearer as the game goes onNo weaknesses in the board - Weaknesses in earlier iterations have been considered, the current version addresses those but each game will result in the player having to carefully consider where their weaknesses liePay-offs - There are distinct pay-offs for making the right decisionsFresh and interesting gameplay - I believe that the gameplay is definitely interesting, there is a degree of freshness when compared to classic and for those who played the old MSDOS game, there are distinct reminders of the fun of old (if that could be called freshness!)More than one way to win - Yes sir!Map allows tactical as well as strategic choices - Again, definitely!Presence of secondary goals - Multiple secondary goals present themselves as the game developsProvision of interest - A matter of personal taste, but I believe so!Overall feel - Fun with a capital Eff!!

With the addition of another member to the Clan Directors Team, the CLA has started to work on doing some revamping now that they have more able bodies to rely on for some crucial tasks. The first thing looking to be revamped is the Power Rankings , which were previously run by Chuuuuck who has run out of time to continue with their organization.alt1978 . The rankings have basically been dead for a little over a year, and were really a fairly nice way to see how other clans viewed each other, and their respective skill levels. This ranking system has nothing to due with results in wars, leagues or any other type of tournament. The system itself is all based on average position for each clan once all the ranks have been received by all the people voting.alt1978 to make sure no one else in your clan is the contact.
