Ahoy Conquer Club Members,

As some of you may know...just around the corner is Steelhorse's Annual Risk Classic---(Official Website located here.) We have been proud to in-part be a sponsor and promoter of the Annual Risk Classic. It is a terrific event by one of our own community members, and it is a great fit for our World Domination Club.

In the past, Conquer Club has had a few members participate in the event, carrying the website's banner. This year, we'd like to mix it up a bit, and thrown down a challenge to any members of the Conquer Club community that attend the Annual Risk Classic.

So what's in this community-wide throw down?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Challenge
The Players
The Reward

So, think you are up to the challenge? Best of luck!

If you plan on attending the Annual Risk Classic, feel free to drop us a line in this topic, and when you are at the event, keep us in the-know via Twitter and Facebook!

And don't forget to keep an eye on the coming issues of the Conquer Club Dispatch for a spotlight of the Annual Risk Classic and Steelhorse!

--Andy

AoG if you are as funny in real life as you are here, I accept that you will be there.

I live 25 minutes away from there, so I might probably go!

by **IcePack** on Wed Sep 28, 2011 2:16 pm

Wish I could go...maybe next year

I want to go, but I'm just starting up this new business - if I'm not busy that weekend I'll be there. But I may not know until the last minute.
If I go should I do some of my standup comedy?

I know I've said this before, but this event would be 1000x cooler if the location changed every year, so as not to permanently limit the attendees to "people who can find their way to some town in eastern Pennsylvania over a long weekend".

Well, I guess you have to keep in mind that the people who are doing this are in Pennsylvania. I know if I ran this event I wouldn't want to fly all the way to LA or something to do it (which would probably be a net loss with travel costs and everything).

You guys are completely capable of doing something yourselves if you want.

ARC is soooo much fun! Bethlehem is a cool town, so the whole trip makes for an enjoyable weekend. The hotel is nice, the event is well organized, and the shuttle will take you to the casino, so there's even a complimentary designated driver!

Although I am sitting this year out, I'm really looking forward to next year, so y'all should make sure you go and have a great time so you can rub it in my face as I'm sleepily wiping baby spit up off my shoulder.

That would be great, Jonesy. This year, one of our participants is coming in from England, who also is a comedien. He has offered to perform as well, while the rest of us kick back and have a few cocktails on Saturday night. Maybe you guys could collaberate and do a whole show...wooot.

Actually, the guy who runs it...namely me...lives in New York, about 2 hours away. And, next year I will be running it from Boston. It's no jump across town for me, either. But, that's where the biggest base of players is. Eventually, as it grows I will move it to a new, more accessible location. But, for now it's baby steps. However, last year we did have players in from Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Texas, Massachusettes, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Delaware. And, this year a player is flying in from England. It can't be in everyone's backyard, but people do make the effort.

His name is Mark Grist. You can find him on YouTube.

Two British guys and comedy? In please.

by **Army of GOD** on Thu Sep 29, 2011 3:06 pm

I could do some stand up too and make jones and that other guy seem funnier by comparison.

Are you going to go, AoG?

by **Army of GOD** on Thu Sep 29, 2011 7:11 pm

Maybe, I'm still deciding. Depends on who else goes.

by **general cod** on Thu Oct 06, 2011 4:12 pm

It would be great if the english players could organise a similar tourney in england - there's enough of them (players) - i would be happy to help in some way. the trip to pennsylvania wud be good but not practical, sadly.
