This section helps you the member gain a little more understanding about Team CC and parts of the site that you may be unclear with. Note: The views expressed in the article are solely those of the writer and do not necessarily express the views of the other moderators or administrators. bedub1 wrote: Is there a list someplace of who all the mods are and what they do?
The Team link at the bottom of the forum contains a list of every member who has forum tools in a forum that you can see. Unfortunately, the Chatters are unable to be seen because they do not moderate a public forum. For them you'll have to look within the group itself, which are all listed under the list of online users.bedub1 wrote: is there a list someplace of who all has been banned from CC?
bedub1 wrote: Can we see performance Statistics of CC, like how many people join each month, how many go premium each month, what percentage of new accounts are multis, how many people stop playing each month, how long does the average user remain on CC, etc etc etc?

It's been a strangely quiet time in the tournament forums lately. I guess it's the summer vacation lull right before the new school year starts. We're only at about 30 recruiting tournaments right now, so if you have a good idea in mine, I encourage you to start up your own tournament in the Create/Join A Tournament Forum . Remember though to not bite off more than what you can chew: we don't want anyone to abandon a tournament.here .Night Strike

The CC activity in the last few weeks of August are generally very quiet. As players prepare to go back to school, and in some cases have moved away from home to do so, tournaments and the forums areas tend to slow down a bit. One area of the site that has not slowed at all is the Clan area. With Season 1 ending at the end of June and the Season 2 starting early September, many clans have taken the opportunity to engage in a clan war or two in July and August. Last summer there were 3 clans wars, whereas this summer has seen 15 completed clan wars and 11 currently in progress. Always a good challenge to be had.
show: Interview with Robinette
Q: Hi Robinette http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=429&t=93761&start=10 The Escalating Story is one of my favorites... It's all from the perspective of a single reinforcement who joins the game in the 4th round and is located away from action. A WWII Navy tribute to my father, actually.500th Party ... Especially near the end...ConquerClub-at-Arms was fun too, since i let the readers help direct the story... This was a WWI memorial day tribute.ConquerClub HELL... Escalating VS. Flat Rate/No Cards thread... heheheea MAP of PLACES ... extra card , or to change one of my die to a 6 ... WE'RE ALL OUT OF TIME...
Title: “The Big Lebowski And There Is a Piscis* In My Under-Garment!” *Piscis is Latin for fish... just to be a pretentious little snot! By: elfish_lad show: Guest Editorial
The Battle of the Titans: Game 5328648 a) These folks are good. They see the board. They sense what is coming. They overcome bad dice. They adjust to the play of others. Like the game of hearts (card game) they know when to form temporary alliances, when to keep silent, and are willing to take the heat for their decisions. My guess is that they are right where they should be: at the top of the board.b) I’m glad I’ll get the chance to play them. Not that any of the top players would go out of their way to play a game with me in it saying: “Oooooh! There’s The Elf! I think I’ll put my points on the line with him!!!” I’m not a TOTAL idiot. I understand the math here. But I think it takes a very good player to adjust to a game with a guy like me (who is VERY good at this type of game in RL with his 12 year-old nephew but is still learning the CC way and maps) and still win. So I’mMy first rating: “Hey Elf! Congrats! You got your first rating! Way to go! You’ve passed your first mile-stone at CC!”
