Conquer Club

Hello again readers. For our 100th edition, we decided to pack it as full of content as possible. We kick it off with a double interview of our administrators king achilles and rdsrds2120. In clans, we've got another article about clan longevity. Dukasaur interviews JohnAarson in tournaments. Finally, Seamus talks about the new beta maps in development. So dig in, enjoy, and we'll write another 100 issues for you all.

Okay, here's what we have on tap for you:

The first regular section is Mess Hall and Interrogation Room, which includes articles related to general CC topics and interviews of players, moderators, and administrators.

The Platoon Report covers Clan activities and wars.

War Games discusses all aspects of the tournament scene.

Cartographic Surveillance gives an overview of mapmaking and new maps in development

Finally, our Next Mission Brief includes such things as the closing credits and information on how to subscribe.

For the very special 100th issue, we've got a chat with king achilles and an interview with rdsrds2120. Gilligan reminisces about the old newsletter issues, stubbs has another SoC analysis, and I've got another Scum Insider. kentington makes a comeback with another comic for everyone. It took a lot of hard work and dedication to get to 100 issues, but with a little luck and perseverance, I'm confident we'll get another 100 out in no time!

You Stay Classy, CC.

Welcome to another fine edition of the Platoon Report! There have been some really cool developments in the last 2 weeks in the clan world, so let's get right to it.

First off, Clan Reporter and Tech Team member IcePack, who has been maintaining the F400 clan ranking system for some time now, released a separate ranking system, which he calls the F41. The F41 uses the same algorithm as the F400, but ONLY includes wars with 41 games or more. Check out the August 1 F400 and August 1 F41 rankings to see how they compare (in fact, you can just view the "Pos Change" column in the F41 ranking to see how the F41 rank compares to the current F400 rank).

Another major development was announced by Leehar on August 3rd -- the arrival of the long awaited Forum Moderation privileges for Clan leaders! Finally, a member of each clan can maintain the topics in their forum. Remind your rep to start getting your forum cleaned up today! Don't see a name by your clan? Talk to your leadership.

This issue of the Platoon Report includes an update on CL5 from Qwert, as well as an interesting look at the distribution of settings used in games so far. We also have Part 3 of The Voice's columns called "What Keeps Your Clan Together?", based on his ongoing interviews with several leaders form the clan community. Both are great reads!

What the clan world look like by issue 200.. we can only imagine!

Hello friends, and welcome to your favourite part of the Newsletter, "War Games", where you can find information about CC Tournaments, and other stuff in the Tournament scene!

In this issue, we deliver our usuals - DaveH's hands out more advice in "Tournament Tips" and brings us the latest TPA action in "TPA Wrap", while I introduce some tournaments you might consider joining in "Join This? Or Not!".

But on top of that, we bring you an interview with an up and coming TO in the tournament scene, JohnAarson, where he spills the beans on his experience as a TO thus far, and his goals and aims for the future.

We hope you enjoy your reading!

Although this is a light Issue there is a ton of activity in the foundry. If you haven't looked through some of the Maps in Development, and commented now is a great time to help some new (and old) mapmakers. Hopefully you've also played some of the great BETA maps available now, if so be sure to comment with your thoughts.

Speaking of BETA maps, V.J. and I are proud to have our second, and third, maps in BETA, Tribal War - Ancient Israel and Three Kingdoms of China. We hope you enjoy, and wish you all many wins (except against us! ). My outside friend Mas Sue67 stops by to help review another map for us, and again I will apologize in advance.

And now, on with the show.

And as Alex Berger said, "Maps are the foundation on which adventure is built." Enjoy.

Whew, Issue 101 should, we hope, be on time.
