CC Dispatch [Issue 112 19-02-14] Work in Progress -- and You

Welcome Comrades to the 112th edition of the Dispatch :)

With this issue, we bring you our new and improved navigation menu:

I want to thank our new Artists' Commune for these buttons, especially Shannon Apple who produced the latest generation of navigation buttons that you see above, Dakky21 who produced the last batch (that you saw in Issue 111 last time), EBConquer who has produced the new banner for Current Recon, and all the other members of the Artists' Commune who have helped out with commentary and advice. The reconstruction of the Dispatch is a work-in-progress, and we welcome your commentary as we experiment with different looks and designs!

It is our hope that the above navigation buttons will make it even easier and more pleasant to navigate to your favourite section!

The theme of this issue is "Work in Progress -- and You" This means two things. First, we are undergoing major changes to serve you better and provide you with more information than ever before. I'm sure you've already noticed that the Dispatch is changing and growing, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. There is much more to come in the next few months!

The second thing the title means is that we need your help to get all this done. I've already mentioned our new Artists' Commune that is working very nicely at upgrading the graphics. What we need next is more editors, and especially more writers. I hope you'll consider is joining us to help. As you can see, our writers have been very busy -- possibly too busy. Sometimes it is too much work for our limited number of volunteers. If you love CC, and you don't mind stringing together a few paragraphs now and then, we would really love to have you join our team.

Once again, we have so much on tap! All the clan news in the Platoon Report, all the tournament news in War Games, and the roundup of what's happening in the Foundry in our Cartographic Survey. Go ahead, click on the new buttons, and explore! The Interrogation Room contains BoganGod -- love him or hate him, but you can't ignore him!

The subsection that I used to call "Late-Breaking News" now has its own section, "Current Recon". This edition of Current Recon carries a round-up of the news from the big Valentines' Day Event, news of recent Conquerors, and a couple of tournament announcements.

Hello again readers. Hope the Valentine Events were a blast for you. We sit down with Bogan to talk about clan life, and I've got another Scum Insider for you.

You Stay Classy, CC.

Platoon Report

Welcome Conquer Club clan enthusiasts to another edition of the Platoon Report!

This edition of the Platoon Report, betiko brings us an update to Random League IV, projecting the standings through round 7. A handful of the top clans are competing in this event which is entirely on random maps... the only thing that appears not to be random is the results!

Thanks for checking out the Platoon Report - many more updates next issue.

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!

It may have been one heck of a Valentine's Day last weekend, but our writers sure didn't forget about you! We continue to deliver their news staples with mcshanester29's latest MTTO Interview with alaskanassassin, DaveH's update of TPA happenings in TPA Wrap, and my selection of tournaments awaiting signups in Join This? Or Not!

Enjoy!

Cartographic Surveillance

So it's Issue 112, and for those of you who don't know, or who might live in the States, dialing the number 112 in most of Europe is like dialing 911 in the US. So unless you're being chased by a Dukasaur through Italy (or you have a real emergency), don't hit 112.

As always we'll highlight the great maps in development, and for this issue I'm going to dust off one of Koontz1973's posts from Issue 65, February 2012, which gives a great in-depth view of the making of Rourke's Drift.

And now on with the show.

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

Sorry, sorry, my bad. I realized, as I was sending my answers, that "before the next issue of the Dispatch is released" probably means "in time to be published in the next issue of the Dispatch". So, I don't know about dakky21, but I got mine in "on time" just not "in time". My apologies to you both for holding up the contest. :oops:

Agreed on another great issue :!:

No problem. Technically you and dakky both got your answers in one time - as did a new entrant - but not enough time for me to publish. Since this was going to be bi-issue it's not an issue.
