Conquer Club

But how long has it been since a new clan actually competed at a high level in leagues?

Firepower is one thing, but staying power and results are another.

AWOL also has a serious roster. Though you could argue it's a remake of ICON somehow, so maybe not a new clan.

I stand corrected. How long ago did REP start?

29 nov 2020, but they couldnt (and didnt want to) participate in CC in their first year. Snatched second place in random league though, and are playing CL in div 2

That's pretty impressive! I confess I've been away since Covid started, due to working in the medical field. So I'm woefully behind on CC news. Just came back late last year to help with CL at the request of clan mates in S&M. It's good to see that new clans are still happening. Gives me hope for Conquer Club

To be fair... in a healthy clan world, 1 year would definitely be a long time since a good clan was founded. I think with the exemption of ICON/AWOL formations, there hasn't been new blood into the clan world that did a lot in competitions for years... I'm actually interested to see a timeline of all clan formations... Maybe I'll have to go back and do the work haha

I'm assuming A^ would meet this bill? Also for people to get into leagues it takes a minimum of a year to end up in CL premier, so there is a huge lag time on that.

EDIT: I feel I'm really taking this off topic... but I feel like the conversation dies if I make a thread about clan formations lol

Our clan is a prideful group of vets that are used to communicating, competing, and upholding loyalty to one another.

We will focus on teamwork to grind out wins and become a clan that will compete for cup, league and clan wars.

Legends leaders logical likable

Allow me to have a jab (and yes, this is a joke):

Duh, you're the next recruit.

Bah! I should've used 'nobodies' for 'n'!

Either way, your name is the first collocation I have for n in the context of Conquer Club. I guess using 'nobodies' would be very harsh too, given that I was trying to dial it down a bit after that first rude line

LIONs are honored to have Lindax be part of the team.
A veteran player with over 12,000 games and is extremely skillful in escalating strategy. A tremendous asset who also knows a thing or two about tournaments and, of course, the clan world.
Welcome Lindax and looking forward to a new adventure!

Does it matter if you're 2nd, 3rd or 10th pick if you manage to get in?

Just a half dozen to go before they can start up. Getting closer....

LIONs are excited to introduce this animated stud *Pixar*
The game variety, years on the site, medals galore are just some of his accomplishments.
Pixar excels on certain maps I despise which is why he is in the clan
Actually Pixar and I go back to the gunslinging days of CC and were in the Mythology clan together. Fighting clan legends like: THOTA, empire, legion, and imperial dragoons.
The camaraderie, strategy, and winning made him a CC bestie.
Welcome *Pixar* and looking forward to a new adventure!

I would have been "Lion" if I told you I wasn't joining

If you have secretly poached anymore of our clan members it would be nice to know. I know you want to play to the drama with this thread, but other clans are just starting prep work for CC12. It would be nice to know if members are leaving.

On a side note, good pickup. Pix is an awesome player and great guy.

I must admit I also find this quite surprising since Pixar is has 3 waiting games with ATL currently. That is of course no issue so long as he doesn't play any games for LION until they finish, but to be announced while still starting new games... weird.

To be fair, pix, did give me a heads up yesterday. I know they want their new members to be a surprise, but when you are making plans within your own clan, it would be nice to get ample notice.
