So...Conquer Club has an incredible history dotted with epic events of all kinds.
What do you think most deserves recognition in the CC cyber-history e-books ??
Maxatstuy's banning ?
King_Herpes hitting 6,000 ?
Twill giving the whole BPB clan a ban ?
Twill ?
Dancing Mustard's posts ?
The whole Hasbro copyright scenario ?
The first Battle Royale ?
You tell me, and if I get a few recurring events I might put a poll together to find the single most memorable moment in CC history.

1) Cutesy Club, and all the related shenanigans.
2) The Grimlock invasion of aught-nine.
3) Wicked. 'Nuff said.
Two out of three ain't bad.

krusher getting his score reset, prem strip, etc. Along with
Warsteiner and the related.
The big gameplay updates (i.e. 1v1, speed, FoW) are pretty memorable I'd think.

Wrong also in that Mystique did it first. Except unlike you his score was unfairly reset.

The creation of 8 man games ranks up there. P.S. The color committee failed.

none of those. Wicked being banned is by far number 1

The various threads related to farming, the value/validity of being an equalitarian...I think they generated some of the most informed and interesting threads.

You're all wrong! It has to be the dirty, sneeky, low-handed, stab in the back and the one finger salute to all professional flamers of Flame Wars on April 1st.
The next one is the mass deportation and exile of regular and paying forum posters, soon afterwards.
May they all rest in peace.
This post is dedicated to those who disappeared with-out a trace.
My sympathies to those who are left behind,
General Stoneham

When I read this the first thing I thought of was wicked. I'll list a few though.
1. Wicked
2. The whole 'community suggested ignore list' I wanted to be on that commitee
3. Creation of speed games, totally changed things. Back in the old days we'd pm our buddies for rt's. If somebody had to go, the game just turned into casual. It also changed how people get to the top. Freestyle setting was already there. Also, speed setting took away any reason to go to live chat.
4. Creation of medals. gave us something new to do.
5. First complex map (not sure which it was, maybe waterloo?) totally changed the game.
6. Hyasri, that was fun but short. The CC equivalent of the 3 days that they US was at war with france in world war II. Noteworthy, but nobody remembers it after some time passes. (Yes it really happened I didn't make this up. November of 42' I believe).
7. The day I joined CC.
8. The day they made the site pink, that was wierd.
9. When first scrip came out for greasemonkey. I think it was bob, but it wasn't called bob back then. At least I don't think it was.
10. Loss of classic map.
Those are ten that I think are memorable.

Rhett actually came up with a good one, but naturally he fooked it up - A.K.Iceman getting popped in the parking lot of some library in Alaska for stealing their internet time - not just to play his games, but he was a mod at the time. His parents wouldn't let him on the internet after 9PM because they caught him wanking to internet pron one night.
Also, i can't believe no one mentioned A.K.Iceman deleting Spamalot and the ensuing riots. Good times.

These are in chrono order...not significance
1. There was a multi before I got here that had many accounts... he had many personna, and was near the top, and one of the more respected players....It was from what I understand the first time, trusting no one, became an unfortunate thing to do.
Since...many unexpected players have been caught doing the same. Now its just common place.
2. Dugcarr was one of the first for being banned for not being a multi, and just an abuse of game...
3. Blitz hitting 4k was actually a rather big event. It was the first time someone just stole the conquerors position, and simply held it forever
4. Speed games forever changed CC from what it was, and what it is now. Nothing changed the game more dramatically.
4a.Clickmaps forever changed the game too, and even now are a source of controversy(ie the guy accusing me on a sequential game of getting better dice with click maps. I wish he could have seen my dice this morning.)
5. Wicked, possibly the biggest drama, even still, because it crossed over into everything including legal action.
6. Battle royale day, was very memorable...while forgotten.....because they do them so damn infrequently
7. Flame wars on the forum end of things is still the biggest change obviously. CC can be thought of as BFW and AFW. The two are and always will be completely different on a fundamental level.
8. Certainly the multiple multies had multiple impacts, and their mulitple appearances have given us multiple dramas since.
9. The day JR decided to leave and did. It was the end of an era, for a true anti-hero and personality on CC.... of course...hes still here, but it could have happened.
10. Still the best update, above all, is when the games got listed in order of turn taking, so you didnt have to look through all 30 active games, to figure out which ones to move on, and you no longer missed turns, while making turns....well, usually.
these are more like ten memorable moments.. not necessarily the top ten.
