We invite you to come and join in with our Summer Bash Celebration!

We have several things in store for the community over the next TWO weeks, giving everyone an opportunity to participate and win some awesome prizes :D

Summer Bash Trivia Contest

    Over the next 2 weeks we will be holding FOUR Trivia contests in the Summer Bash Trivia Forum, for you all to test your knowledge of both General Knowledge and CC Knowledge.

    We have a schedule of 4 days and 4 different times to cover all timezones so everyone will hopefully get the opportunity to take part if they choose to :)

    Schedule

    **Note: Each trivia contest will run for 30 MINUTES, this is a strict time frame**


    Click the links to see what the times are in your timezone

    Trivia #1
    CC Time: 2011-08-17 00:00:00 until CC Time: 2011-08-17 00:30:00
    Trivia #2
    CC Time: 2011-08-19 06:00:00 until CC Time: 2011-08-19 06:30:00

    CC Time: 2011-08-26 18:00:00 until CC Time: 2011-08-26 18:30:00

    How it will work
    • Make your way to the Summer Bash Trivia Forum at one of the FOUR times specified above.
    • Reply to the Trivia Topic numbered corresponding to the times above e.g. Trivia #1 etc.
    • The new reply should automatically have the 40 trivia questions for you to answer.
    • Read the Instructions at the top between the <DELETE ME></DELETE ME> tags and then you can begin answering the questions.
    • Please state your answer in the spaces provided and no where else.
    • You have ONLY 30 MINUTES to complete the trivia and submit. You will have even less time if you start late.
    • ANY completed 'trivias' that are submitted OUTSIDE OF THE 30 MINUTE time frames listed above in the schedule, WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
    • Once you submit, you will not be able to resubmit or change your answers. So be sure of your answers before you submit, as there is no going back.
    • Once you submit you will not be able to see your entry until it has been marked, at which time it will be posted for all to see along with your mark.
    Prizes
    • The winner of each trivia contest will receive 3 Months Premium, a General Achievement Medal and a place in Game 10 Million!
    • Prizes will be awarded to the winners once all 4 trivia contests have completed.
    • Each trivia will have a different set of questions.
    • Once you have won a trivia contest, you cannot win another.

Share The Warmth Epidemic

    Similar to the "Spread the Lack epidemic" of 2008 and the "Spread the Love epidemic" of 2009 and 2011, this year we are sharing the warmth with you all!

    We are encouraging Freemiums and Premiums to partner up in a lottery of sorts to "share the warmth" around the Conquer Club Community.

    • The epidemic will be running from the 15th - 29th of August.
    • Each premium will sign-up with a freemium partner in this thread.
    • Each member of each pair has to wear the pre-prepared avatar and the contest signature (This is how we Spread/Share the Warmth) :)
    • Sign-ups are in this thread, and after the first week on the 22nd of August we will draw out 2 pairs and they will receive some special prizes.
    • The premium member will receive a General Achievement Medal for sharing the warmth and the freemium members will be awarded with 3 Months Premium (it's all about feeling the warmth and love :D )
    • As an additional benefit, both premium and freemium members of the winning pairs will receive a place in Game 10 Million!
    • We will continue to take sign-ups during the second week and we will draw out 2 more names on the 29th of August.

    More details and information can be found in the Sign-up Thread.

Summer Bash Speed Tournament

    We will be holding a Speed Tournament in the week starting the 22nd of August! Since it is a speed tournament you MUST BE PREMIUM to join.

    For many, this summer has become one of the most brutal! With heat records being broken across the northern globe, many have little to no relief from the heat! Well, in spirit of this year's CC Summer Bash, the Special Events team is bringing to you a chance to cool off on some of CC's more icy maps 8)

    The winner of the Speed Tournament will receive 3 Months Premium, a General Achievement Medal and a place in Game 10 Million

    With thanks to rdsrds2120 for running this tournament please visit the tournament topic and read the details before signing up!

    Visit the tournament topic here for more info!

Official Summer Bash Games

    For the first time in Special Event History on Conquer Club, we will be holding some Official Games!

    Win an official game and you will receive a General Achievement Medal!

    We aim to make Official Games a regular part of our Events, each event will have a different map or maps as it's focal point for the official games. For this event we will be using 5 different maps which a synonymous with heat! Which is what summer is all about! Once you've played an official game you can always go cool off with the speed tournament anyway which features cold maps!

    Maps we'll be using:
    1. Extreme Global Warming
    2. Dust Bowl
    3. Oasis
    4. Carribean Islands
    5. Middle East

    **You can see all the games by visiting the link below**

    • There are 100 available official games, no more will be made.
    • There are 75 "2 player games" (15 on each map) and 25 "6 player games" (5 on each map)
    • Settings will all be Automatic, Sequential, Escalating, Chained, Sunny and Casual
    • YOU MAY ONLY JOIN 1 OF EACH GAME TYPE (One "2 player game" and One "6 player game")
    • If you join anymore than that you are not playing in the spirit of things and you WILL NOT RECEIVE A MEDAL if you happen to win.
    • The password for all games is SB002

They're just like the usual dice, except for being spiffed up and spectacularized visually. :D

The new dice make it really hard to see which of them are actually highlighted.

i agree.....seems every time you use different dice, they have a yellow background, which makes it difficult to tell when they are highlighted in yellow. use a contrasting color to highlight them, not the same color as the dice. i'll go nuts if this goes on for 2 weeks.

:? I can't see the highlight on these dice - maybe a tweak is in order? A different highlight color perhaps? Please.

These new dice are impossible to read. They look almost identical for winning and non winning rolls. They really need to be different color highlights or something. Bad choice for current ones.

Hmm, regarding the questions last night, will we know if we won or not by the time the next one starts or should we try for that one too just in case?

its like a marker of how far CC has come. like game 1,000,000 back in the day xD (wish I could've seen that one) so how many total players are gonna be in this one.. 4 from trivia.. and how many from games/tourny/etc also?

*edit*
I count 4 for trivia, 4 for the freemium/premium, and 1 for tourny. So 9 in total or will there be more?
