thenobodies80 took the reigns of the Cartographers team, and it's evident that many Foundry-goers aren't very supportive of behind-the-scenes maps' circumventing the Foundry system. You can participate in the discussion about seasonal/behind-the-scenes maps here , if you want. As for any new maps coming in the future, the Special Events Team is not currently working on a map, but have no fear! There are maps in the Final Forge and the Main Foundry Workshop that are well on their way to "betafication", so you'll certainly be getting your fair dose of new maps in the coming weeks.Ask A Mod! thread, so stop on by to ask anything you like, from questions about Conquer Club to TeamCC to maps to tournaments to clans to suggestions to C&A cases...to whatever! :)

Sometimes, a Third Party group in a large game can also be masoned. The most common variant is a two or three person mason group where all the members are town. Masons may be vanilla, or have night actions, so it's rather difficult to WIFOM who might be a mason. However, if you are a mason with no other abilities, it may be a good idea to play as an aggressive townie. Since masons are a relatively weak role with the added bonus of having someone able to verify your claim, claimed masons generally are pretty low on the mafia kill list. And if the mafia do end up nightkilling a claimed mason, it immediately clears the other mason.
show: Interrogation of General Brock II
Q. Sir, General, Sir! *salutes* At ease, soldier. *stands atop jeep hood with bullhorn*. Now listen up, chaps and chappettes, for what I’m about to say. Q. Do you visit Brock's Monument in Queenston? Unfortunately, I live relatively distant from Queenston. However, I do have relatives around Oshawa, and I may, some day, extend my drive to travel to St. Catherines and area. I’ve always wanted to visit Brock’s monument… Not only that, but I believe that every self respecting Canadian who lives less than nine hours’ drive away should visit the monument of the hero of Canada. Q. Do you remember what it was like being a lower ranker? Vaguely. It’s been a long time… I do remember the desperate, prolongued struggle from private (I never fell below private) to Sergeant. Sergeant didn’t last long, as I’d by then garnered much knowledge, stopped playing reckless games and found some amazing team-mates. Also, I remember the euphoria of gaining over fifty points in a 1 v. 1… It seems that, these days, I’m only capable of losing that many points in a 1 v. 1. :P Q. When did you first know you were 'starting to make it,' in terms of achieving a rank and keeping it? Well, as I mentioned above, I believe that when I surpassed Sergeant, I knew I was going to “make it.” I obtained the rank of lieutenant and clung to it for dear life. It was like entering a whole new league – the “big guns,” so to speak. I fluctuated about there for a couple of months, but then I eventually reached captain. I remember reading a forum thread at the time I obtained captain, and some hapless soul had written that captain was merely a “stepping point” – you were either going to fall back to lieutenant or move on to major. Well, after falling immediately thereafter to Lieutenant, I saw the truth in that statement. :P After that, though, it seemed like I clung to captain for a long time…. And now I’m a colonel. I’m quite content with colonel, and I doubt that I'll try for anything more, as I don’t really want to be paranoid about playing only certain games that are guaranteed victories, and I don’t want to concern myself with points… I play for the clan, so Colonel is as high as I need to go. Q. Your profile says you are a history aficionado---what particular era or topic interests you the most? Do you have photos of your collection of items? As my profile asserts, I’m certainly a history aficionado, and I enjoy absorbing whatever historical knowledge I can from whatever era or topic. I particularly favour the British Colonial era, and I’m proud to have an English heritage. There is much to be said for a “tiny” island nation that colonized enough of the world that, “The sun never set on the British Empire,” that obtained naval dominance in the 1600s and maintained it until as far as WWII and that still remains a highly respected nation in the Western World. Great Britain has defined many of the political, scientific, medical and social systems that you and I are familiar with. Q. Why did you choose 1st Reg as your clan name? When GeneralMatt and I originally began pondering the possibility of forming a clan (after O&H crumbled), we both favoured naming the clan after an authentic, and renowned, English unit. We did ponder a few generic names (“Global Raiders,” “Destructive Force,” “Militant Power”), but finally agreed that there were very few clans named after authentic units. Q. Why did you set up a clan in the first place? After O&H disbanded, a lot of very good players were cast off. Only a number of Dan’s core team-mates were accepted into FOED. Truthfully, I hadn’t been very active in O&H, but a friend of mine had grown quite attached to them, and the break-up was a real blow to her. I (and the others) played solo for a short while, but then I hatched the notion to form a clan of our own. I then asked 86, General Flashman and Roy if they’d be up to it, gathered a few of my most common team-mates (and one or two other former O&H members), and the rest is, as they say, history. Q. What made you start playing CC? My Uncle, two cousins and Dad played a game of Risk several years ago. We had a smashing time, and I won. We resolved that we’d have to play more often, and my Uncle hatched the idea of looking for a site online. He found two… I favoured the other one because it looked simpler, but I was outvoted. :P We all signed onto CC, and it’s been a wonderful time since (though I’m the only one of the four of us still playing). Q. Is it true your brother is obsessed with people's favourite colours? Haha! What’s yours? I’ll let him know. :P Q. What is the most satisfying thing about running your own clan? My goodness, that’s a perplexing question. The camaraderie, I think. I love each and every player in the Regiment, and I ensure that I maintain communications with each member. I quite enjoy the logistical aspect and basically appreciate leading such a fine group of players (a well oiled machine, so beware!). Q. When did you feel 1RFG first became truly competitive? What?! We’ve become competitive? :P Our first significant victory was against RA. It was at that time that the old members of the clan were still more or less together, and we all proverbially shook hands and said, “Wow, this is great… We’ll make it.” Q. What is your long term goals? In life? I intend to finish a combined history/political science degree at University. Then I’ll become a highly educated historian who makes his funding by peddling goods at the flea markets in Florida (or getting elected into a prominent town council… not sure yet which I’d prefer). Q. Whats the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? 4k/h… if it’s European. ; ) Did you know that the HMS Swallow was a fifty gun fourth rate? Q. What part of O&H do you think had the greatest influence on how you run your clan? Taught me how not to run a clan. :P I quite enjoyed how “free” the players were under Rocket. You could join whatever game you wanted with whoever… I’ve tried to maintain that sense of looseness (though more practically…). Q. What was it like to be a beginning player? Odd and exhilarating, simultaneously. I thought that the rank system was neat, indubitably, but hadn't much knowledge of how the game actually worked... I remember my first freestyle game. I hadn’t the foggiest of what was going on. In fact, I think my cousin created it to be freestyle quite by accident. Q. Any more "coughs" secret weapons that you plan to put in your clan? Or have you sworn off that habit? Did you learn something from your secret weapon program? That would be classified information charged to the Regimental branch of Intelligence. We've been working on artificial intelligence and V2 rockets. ;) Q. Public mea culpa as well? This question and the last are somewhat related, so I’ll kind of address them together in a serious manner. Yes, it was my mistake to permit BlueBell into the clan without knowing all of the circumstances around his exile from CC. You see, I still believe that the case surrounding Buddysystem was entirely arbitrary and unfair, but he should have left his defense to individuals such as myself. I had not realized that he had created numerous accounts in order to argue, himself (thereby becoming a “multi”). Q. Where are all of the normal forum attendees with nothing to do but ask odd questions? Apparently, this question is to myself… So, where in blazes are they? Don't seem to have anything better to do throughout the day. Q. a/s/l? Age: Between 100 and 10. Sex: Male. Location: Ontario Q. Do you or do you not require subordinates to salute you upon sight? Of course, sah! Wouldn’t think otherwise. Our parades are amazing spectacles. Q. When you and General Roy see each other, do you just fist bump? Fist bump? Are you serious? We bow to each-other, raise our pace sticks in recognition and then work through our top secret special handshake. Q. In team games, do you follow a chain of command? That’s an interesting notion. heh Certainly, there is some semblance of command in a team game, as team leaders somewhat assume control and advise the players how to proceed. However, we encourage the input and strategy provided by all players, and veto power is granted to nobody . Q. Who makes the coffee? The coffee percolator. :P Q. How many members of your clan are veterans? Actually, a good number of the members are army vets. I won’t name them without their permission, but we certainly have 3 or 4, and we’ve had more pass through the ranks. I’m honoured to have them aboard. We also have our own self-proclaimed “hippy.” :P Q. How do you feel about women in the 1st Regiment? I’m quite exultant to have women in the Regiment. They raise morale and add different thought processes and methods - a different "flavour". Since the Army hasn’t had any scruples with women in the army since the ‘40s, I don’t see any problems, either! So I’ll shout out to MegsEggs, Arya, Shakeycat and Queen Vic. Thanks for your significant contributions to the clan, and it’s been a pleasure to play with each of you! Q. What's your favorite color? Good query. Toronto Maple Leaf blue. Q. Who is your favorite clan director? Chemefreak! (yeah... I looked to see who asked this question. XD ) Q. What happened to General Brock I? He passed away at the Battle of Queenston Heights on October 13, 1812. The Yankees killed him. An interesting fact is that he had noticeable close calls more than three times before. Q. What is a Grenadier Guard? A Grenadier Guard is an elite foot soldier (Quite probably another reason why I picked the name for our clan). In fact, in the 17th Century, the Grenadiers were the tallest and strongest of the soldiers, and a part of their task was to hurl grenades at the opponent. Grenade throwing became obsolete (kind of amusing, isn't it? Grenades are once again a very potent infantry weapon) with improved line warfare (and flintlock muskets), but the Grenadier Guards were still used as elite shock or assault troops. It also happens that the GG are preferred for parades, in part due to reputation and in part due to appearance. Q. What setting is not typically used in clan wars do you wish would be used more often? Hmm… I wouldn’t mind if nuclear were used more often, I suppose. On the other hand, I couldn’t care. Q. How cool is Canada? In the winter, fall and spring, very. :P Q. Do you speak French? My knowledge of the French language can be carved into a dinner-plate. I know enough to conduct crude communications… Which isn’t saying much, since I have gotten a Spanish person to tell me where the washroom is much more quickly than a French one. :P Q. Preferred currency: Loonie or Toonie? Toonie is worth more, so I select that one. Q. I like your sig! The quotation "Of all the world's great heroes, there's none that can compare...to the British Grenadiers." is that just something you made up or is there a historical context? Well, of course there’s historical context to the meaning behind the phrase. I spoke truthfully - the GG ARE the world's great heroes. ;) Q. Wasn't Brock grossly over-rated? It was Shaeffe who won the battle, and whose name is forgotten now, while Brock's name is on a street in every municipality between Cornwall and Leamington. Certainly not! I don’t think that the commander who conquered the entire Niagara Peninsula in a matter of five months, galvanised the shabby force of Canadian militiamen into an effective fighting force and assumed position as supreme commander of all forces in Upper Canada can be called “over-rated.” He capably and almost single-handedly designed Canada’s defences. Also, he created valuable allies out of the Shawnee and other First Nations tribes. General Brock was a respectful gentleman and officer, and his legacy is truly larger than life. He once accepted a duel against a professional duellist and known “bully” in the 49th Regiment of Foot. Since Brock was so tall, his compatriots were dismayed; however, he stipulated that the duel be fought over a handkerchief… His opponent backed off and also left the Regiment. Q. If you had to join another clan which clan would you petition for admittance to and why? I would petition to join the Pig Renters. I find them to be a high quality clan composed of splendid players who have a sense of humour. I respect Gunn, alt and UK. I’m not fond of the name, but the military pig theme if amusing. And swine are predators to anything smaller or weaker. It’d be just off of Great Britain. I’d anchor it there, myself, if necessary. Q. Is there any difference between tequila and diesel fuel? Haha! Well, as far as I know, tequila hasn’t been known to cause brain damage by inhalation. Q. What's more deadly, neurotoxin or saxitoxin? Saxitoxin’s not deadly… it’s all hot air. Q. How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Depends on what flipping dam it’s helping the beavers build. O_o Beware the Beavers! Have you seen the commercial? I think it was Michelin, maybe... Q. If one of your CC games could be made into a movie, with live actors playing the troops, real settings for the maps, etc., which game would it be? Where would you film it? Who would be the stars? There are two games in particular that come to mind. One, World 2.1, in which some chap who I had never played with before, and I, destroyed our opponents in a 8 player showdown. It’s one of very few 8 player doubles that I’ve won, and it was a no spoils match. Game 3476740 Game 8934464
Hello again my friends, and welcome to your favorite part of the Newsletter, "War Games", where you can find information about CC Tournaments!
I really enjoyed being part of the
Sci-Fi and Fantasy Tournament Contest , and I hope my article about it will accurately convey my delight!
Also in this issue, we have an interview with theCrown conducted by WorldCup4James, we have the fourth installment in DaveH's outstanding Tournament Tips series, a brand-new series by sensfan called A World Of Possibilities, and the second installment in sensfan's TPA Wrap.
On the downside, I have to report that
sonicsteve will no longer be with us, having gotten overwhelmed by the demands of his new R/L job. Steve was a tournament organiser of some repute, a Tournament Director, a great player, quite possibly the Grand Champion of Season 1 of the TPA, a very good writer who needed no proofreading, and a fun, upbeat guy to talk to. I'm not sure we will ever find all those attributes in one compact package again. He will definitely be missed.

Meet the Tournament Organisers: TheCrown by WorldCup4James show: interview with thecrown
To close off 2011, tournament organiser (and champion) TheCrown will join us in giving some valuable ideas on what makes an enjoyable, memorable, and competitive tournament. TheCrown has hosted 24 tournaments, and his trademark work is the "Strain your Brain " 20-tournament series. He's also won 18 tournaments after only 16 months at ConquerClub.Avalanche tournaments are set around the winter season and keep players interested by featuring a very creative and cool 1v1 method of advancement. It's something different from the generic single-elimination or round-robin style competitions. Let's see what he has to say, Avalanche series, which has picked up quite some popularity around the winter season. What sets this tourney apart?Creativity is key! Besides this, what ideas or type of format do you think are critical for a successful tournament? Lots of games? High-intensity, single-elimination style competitions? Mini-clan war tourney ". That tourney introduces people to what it's like to be in a clan. I got 32 people who were under 500 games completed and currently not in a clan, and I put them in 8 groups of 4, letting them fight it out in a single bracket tourney with 6 doubles, 6 triples, and 1 random quad game which they must fill from their mini-clan of 4 people. I have had a lot of feedback from this tourney from the players and they really seem to love it. In fact, I believe some of them are about to start up a real clan. It's pretty exciting.You've put together 25 tourneys (and counting), but it's also very much worth noting that you've won 18 tourneys. Throughout your tournament career, can you recall any other fellow organisers' tournament that were well-run and unique? flexmaster33 's tourneys. Great scoring systems, great standings and great prizes. He could do with adding a few more GA medals because his tourneys are huge and long.tokle from TNC clan puts on some very well thought out themes with interesting stories. You can tell he puts a lot of work into his tourneys.Strain your Brain " tourney series where in the 1 vs. 1 games, if you went 1st and you won, you would get 3 points, and if you went 2nd and won, you would get 4 points. It is pretty difficult to win when you go 2nd in 1 vs. 1 play. Of course, it was a pain keeping the stats on who went 1st in each game, so I have quit doing it for now.It's all about establishing a unique system players like. I love slow-pitch softball, since it often time puts all the emphasis on fielding (I was never good at hitting in baseball :lol: ). It's fun unless you're playing at third base and get your teeth knocked out :shock: Impressive! Any favorite music? I noticed a while back, you were a Brigadier. Did you ever eat any snacks that seemed to woo the intensity cubes in your favor? For me, it's a nice glass of cola :lol: Alka-Seltzer will help you roll 6s ;) No, I wish. :D Thanks TheCrown ! Best of luck in the new year!
Tournament Tips: by DaveH show: updating your results
I'm quite lazy. Once I have updated my tournament results in Excel I like to be able to copy a block of text into the tournament thread to update the winners without needing additional typing. Therefore I use functions and macros where possible. Macros are accessed in Excel from the Tools/Macro menu. The best way I find of creating a new one is to go to Tools/Macro/Record New Macro; then enter the macro name (and perhaps a key press) that you want to use and then click the "stop" logo on the small window that appears. Then go to Tools/Macro/Macros, highlight your macro and choose "Edit" to open your macro into a new window so that you can edit and test your macro before saving the final version.Code: Select all Dim i, j, itotal As Integer 'integers used in this macroCode: Select all Range(Cells(47, 29), Cells(46 + itotal, 30)).SelectCode: Select all j = 1 'j used as a "duplicate" flagCode: Select all Range(Cells(47, 29), Cells(46 + itotal, 30)).Select

Well we have reached Round 2 of NC2 , this exciting tournament between clans.
