Welcome Comrades to the 24th Edition of the ConquerClub Dispatch!

It's almost been a year since the first edition of this publication was released, it has been great to see it grow and expand from 7-8 contibutor's to 23! And we look forward to more growth in the year to come. We want to thank the loyal readers who enjoy reading what our writers have put together each issue. And we look forward to finding new ways to make the newsletter more enjoyable and exciting each edition.

This edition is packed with content, take the time between turns to sit down and catch-up on the latest news and enjoyable articles from our reporters :)

In this issue, we welcome two new writers to the tournament section: [player]vodean[/player] and [player]superkeener[/player]. They make their debuts with an NFL Tournaments focus piece by [player]vodean[/player] and Player Spotlight by [player]superkeener[/player]. [player]amazzony[/player] returns with part 2 of her 2009 Year in Review story, which focuses on quotes from players and organizers. We were unable to put together a list of the large tournaments currently recruiting players for this issue, but you can always check the Create/Join a Tournament Forum on your own for interesting tournaments to join. I'm still looking for a couple more contributors (especially someone who would be willing to do the "grunt work" of going through the Create/Join forum), so if you are interested, please PM [player]samuelc812[/player].

[spoiler=Interrogation of Lord Voldemort]Q. Hi there lord voldemort

Hey friends....

Q. What is you avatar all about then?

My current avatar....i love lol cats. And my fav harry potter website (http://www.mugglenet.com) now has harry potter themed lol cats. So I rotate through them...almost time for a new one though ;)

Q. How come so many people think you are not keeping up to the task of War Manager for Imperial Dragoons? What is the story behind all of that?

I am not actually the war person from ID.....and we were never out of date...anyway

Q. Is it stressful being a C&A Moderator? If you could decide, what would be the punishment regime for spurious reports?

Yes and no. I think having 3 others plus king a and andy around helps...If it was just me I might get stressed. Spurious reports are annoying. Especially ones that a) are just revenge reports b) ones that are obvious...like alliances in team games :roll:

Q. How does it feel to make some of the more questionable calls?
Umm...someone has to do it. Most of the questionable calls....if not all of them we (as in the 5 of us king a, king s, evil semp and eye8) discuss what we think and come to a decision we aggre with.The person giving the veerdict is just relaying what all of us think

Q. What activities do you spend time doing, outside of Conquer Club?

I work at a casino, dealing cards :D
I fit in the gf any spare time really
I play baseball. So thats 3-4 days/nights a week.
I play poker with guys from work every week.
And I play alot of xbox
I sleep...

Q. If you had to be stuck on an island with a group of CCer's, who would you choose and why?

Tough choice...
Prolly nagerous to party with...and owen cause he is the man

Q. What are one or two of your best Conquer Club memory---game/clan/forum related?

When I won a tournament....I was so excited. When I first got to 2000. Old school epic mafia games were fun when I was an immature lil girl

Q. What was the best thing before sliced bread ?

regular bread loaves not sliced

Q. And in your current lifestyle, what is the best use of a single brick ?

To hold my door open

Q. What were your plans for your birthday?

Just been a week ago. On my bday i slept til 5 pm...then went out for dinner with mumsy, gf and 2 best mates. Then after dinner drove for 2 hours to my favourite surf spot for the next day of non stop surfing :D

The saturday night just been...House party...and I got a tiny bit drunk 8-[

Q. Demonfork in is interested in knowing whether you are straight or not?

I like girls

Q. When not on Conquer Club, what are your favourite activities?

I feel like I answered this question....seeing as the misses will never read this...I would have to say playing table tennis with my best mate...that or guitar hero

Q. Other than jefjef and his endless trolling, what is your biggest CC related pet peeve?

People threating to leave and not buy premium if they don't get their way. We get it you don't like the way things are done...no one is asking you to be here

Q. Has there ever been a case in C&A you really enjoyed handling,

Point dumping case, I was the only one online....so I banned the account and had to issue about a dozen warnings to people taking advantage of it as well as a few who earned more sever punishment. It was kind of fun and satisfying.

Q. Do you think C&A should resemble a legal system? (I mean like something closer to say, an American legal system.)

Well as I am not american I cannot really comment....But a legal system I assume you mean an impatial 3rd paty (c&a mods) and two arguing parties....prosecution and defence. Then no...It would be too time consuming and it just really isnt needed. The current system of reporting cheaters and the mods investigating and handling it works well.

Q. Name three things that are always in your refrigerator.

Beer, powerade and eggs

Q. Do you like blueberries?

nope

Q. Does being a C&A God define you as a person?

Lol i wouldnt say I am a god. And CC doesnt define me as a person...so no way does c&a

Q. What are hot dogs made of?

dogs, bread..cheese, bacon, onions, mustard and bbq sauce

Q.What is your "itchy trigger finger story"? we all got one...

I banned a player for flaming when he was just quoting another player.....No harm done though. Opie or Andy were online at the time and fixed it before the other person even realised

Q. Who would win? You or [player]Harry Potter[/player]?

Prolly me.....We actually played team games together once for lolz

Q. Are you a fan of Star Wars? Would you like to join the Star Wars fans usergroup?

i love star wars. But no I dont want to join anymore usergroups.

Q. How many hours a day are you on CC?

Depends...used to be way more. As I worked on a computer. I no longer do. So it all depends on if I am with the gf or not at night. If i am with her...then its take turns and leave...If not a few hours here and there

Q. Why must you force me to say his name aloud when I talk about you with my mother?!

Fear of the name only increases fear of the thing itself

Q. What one or two features do you wish Conquer Club had?

Clickies for everyone....Not really a feature...but fixing the way farming is dealt with and what constitutes farming.

Q. Other than C&A, where do you find yourself spending the most time on CC?

Tie between gd...behind the scenes mod stuff (its facinating to read heaps of old stuff from them) and clan stuff

Q. What was your favorite mafia game and why?

Ummm viewtopic.php?f=213&t=50982

Q. Do you miss being a bandit?
Ues sometimes...It was fun

Q. You're trapped in a pitch-black room with a ventilation grill as the only way out. You have a spool of thread, a donkey, and three apples. The guards come in every 40 minutes to check. There is an armed guard at the door at all times. The leader of the kidnappers is Mr. Hunt, knowing his first name is irrelevant. He is worth $240,100,304 according to Forbes. Your wife is trapped in another room, awaiting your rescue. What's the donkey's name?

George

Q. What did the donkey have to eat that day?

Grass

Q. How many multis have you busted?

None....im not a multi hunter....

Q. Harry Potter films or books?

.I'm gonna go with books. Though the last 2 movies are amazing. Well they are all amazing. They are just getting better and better...
November 19th, 2010 :)
July 15th, 2011 :D

Another good newsletter. I especially enjoyed the Foundry coverage. Nice work, everyone.

Also another interesting location for the dispatch. Google Street View shows some guy unloading a truck. (I won't say exactly where, to give everyone the chance to be surprised at the location.) What is the deeper meaning? New stuff coming to Conquer Club, hmmm?

There is no meaning. I just picked a place and added the coordinates. :-)

Yeah George, exactly the kind of commentary we need to make clan wars something that more people are interested in and taking seriously. Was very well written, and will keep at least my interest up.
