CC Dispatch [Issue 120] Two Contests, Mafia Back, UI Update

Greetings, comrades, to Issue 120!

In our Friendly Fire section, our epic Dispatch Trivia contest ends and our next contest begins! You think you know CC maps well? Check out the Guess the Map contest in Friendly Fire!

Our War Games section, as always, has excellent coverage of the tournament world.

In the Mess Hall, we see the Return of Mafia, as three excellent articles cover the mini-renaissance of mafia games on Conquer Club!

In the invisible Late-Breaking News section, we have coverage of today's UI update, that just went live less than half an hour ago! Help me make this section visible. I have a GA medal for the first person to post in this thread and accurately describe the most important features of today's update! (Fine print: this contest is closed to mods...:()

The Mafia forum has always been a big part of what drives this section forward. After a brief period on inactivity, we are back in action with 3 Mafia articles.

At this time, I would also like to welcome jak111 and StorrZerg to the Dispatch Team! Welcome aboard, both of you!

The updates I've noticed so far:
  • Highlight over all buttons
  • New PM rolls
  • Live Chat changed to Chat Rooms
  • Are the quick links to My Games | Purchase | Terms Of Use | Privacy Policy | Rules new?
  • Referral program has it's own tab?

That's all I've got for now.

Edit: The button highlight includes the ready/waiting/playing buttons next to a player's name in a game, just to clarify. Also, there is an in-game animation for rank changes. Not just New PM button rolling, but Post Reply, New Topic etc. all of that style.

Are you referring to the text floating to the cursor on maps when attacking, reinforcing etc?

The players names no longer being beside the map? That is annoying.

the "rolling" of the buttons when passing over them with the mouse pointer.

I think caffeine got it. I notice it too with selecting ratings (seem to flash more than roll) too.

You can fix that in your settings thingie btw! So that it will stay there even if you go to another game!

A lot of bugs introduced? (just kidding) :-)

I guess the biggest feature is - Global chat!

Would it be the visual effects that occur in many screens. In the rating screen when you click on 5 stars, the others lite up in sequence quickly. I just won a star and the graphics for that have changed and they roll up in video as opposed to one screen image to the next. Lame i know but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Also, Beta Bucks Introduced and/or Olympic medals Introduced.

you shrink down the broswer width-wise and it shows "club" instead of "community"?

Edit: and "Live Action" "Action Stream" under community?
I see Ats playing 2 speed games right now. impressive for poly(2) lol.

Anyway, I would just like to thank iAmCaffeine and Dukasaur for running the Dispatch Trivia contest. It was definitely a marathon :).

And one more stab at the new feature: Is it new "The Championships" Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals? I see that none have been issued yet, so I assume these are new.

Clans got tons of new stuff - All Clans, Clan Wars, Clan Leagues, Featured Games. Tournaments got Featured Games as well.
I don't rememebr if Maps were updated before or not but they have new UI as well.

A bit of a shot in the dark since I only started playing again recently; but the stats, snapshot (or maybe analyse in snapshot) when you are looking at Live Action games? (I only see it when I'm logged out though, is that a premium thing?)
