Welcome Comrades to the 92nd edition of the Dispatch
As the swirls of dust from the Pantheonic plethora swirl over my crawling skin I gaze blindly into the night. Is it there or not. Can it actually be a form appearing before my very eyes. The darkness is so dense that I am sure that my eyes are tricking me. If only I had listened to the multitude. If only I knew what I was looking at ... or it that I don't see because I know not what I want to see? If only there was a sign. A sign? A sign! That's it ... it's a sign! Too hard to make out the features in the gloom. Where's a carrot when you need one? Ah ... it's clearer now that I am closer to it. [Munches Easter carrot with uncharacteristic fervor.] What's this?
Well, it's whatever you want it to be! Read the Foundry for more details. But I positively tingle at the possibilities! Congrats CC, and koontz1973 and Seamus76 in particular, you've done us proud again. Something exciting indeed!
Despite being busted as a multi, DoomYoshi brings us updates on his rewards and challenges and has just managed to pay penance accordingly - he even gets a promotion to Suggs manager to boot! safariguy5 brings us an update in the world of Mafia Wars and the long-anticipated interview of denthefrog - ooh-la-la! Leehar's team updates us on the world of clans - thanks Ickyketseddie and qwert and check out Swifte's new Movers and Shakers column. Dukasaur's team, running low on writers, brings us what could be one of the last instalments in the Tourney world - read the shock explanation but enjoy DaveH and anamainiacks's articles all the same! Finally, there is the usual mindblowing entertainment from koontz1973's team in the Foundry - with the man himself bringing a ton of updates and another competition supported by generalhead and Seamus76. If there nothing there for you then we are indeed sorry, not for us but for you! In the words of Khalil Gibran:
Enjoy the fruit of our labouring fingers!I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.

Yoshi Awards Update by DoomYoshi
Spoiler
Hello Again Everyone. All the awards have been handed out since last I reported.
Recent discussions in my clan forum have brought forth the idea of "Clan Player of the Year" as a nomination. However, we all know that the clan world can be a big popularity contest, and I am thinking of ways to do this with less bias. The simplest way I can think of is to have a closed "by pm" ballotting system where players each vote for 1 person not in their clan. Send me a message if you have any ideas about this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A whole slew of new tournaments have finished, so let's look at some of the highlights and possible contenders for the prizes.
Series:Tournament of Nations, AdamKeith; 5 B's, puppydog85; Alpha Beta, Viper; MINI CLAN WAR, TheCrown;
Tournament/Innovation: Prime Time II, PaRKon; Unique Beta Battle, Jig; 6th Tier, deantursx; Battle of the Sexes, CBlake; Double Team Scramble, CBlake; 1v1 Master, iamkookerthanu;
Sports: NFL, paulgamelb; CCFL Fantasy Football, mcshanester29; Euro 2008, Armandolas;
Rescue: Yummy Yogurt, mcshanester29; HA Celebrates a New Job, Greenoaks;
Of course, there are many other good tournaments. Let me know if I missed any that you think should make the long list.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since Last I reported, I became a suggestions Mod! So now I (hopefully) have a better grasp on the king suggestions in the forum.
I would like to plug my own suggestion again:
Monthly Challenge Medals.
Other notables:
Sudden Death by Undert0w
Balancing 1st and 2nd Player Moves by random21

Just click the player's name and that will bring you to that person's list of games. You just verify that the player has the amount of points they claim.
Congratulations to all those who completed the contest. I am going to assume that nobody is lying, and I am going to publish the list of challengers in the newsletter.
You all get these trophies:An extra congratulations to smegal69, simmons and nicestash, who won more games than they lost! Considering how tough the settings were, that is truly a spectacular feat.

Since the poll winner for April was Totally Random, April's challenge is:
Panda Express
Rail Asia, no special rules required, all are welcome except:
Must be 5-Player Terminator and No Spoils.
No 30-Round Limit allowed.
The scoring system is as follows:
1 point for every game that starts, 1 for every game that finishes.
1 point for every kill.
18 points are required for the challenge to be completed.
This is a much easier challenge than last time so hopefully we get more participants. Later tonight, I will generate the poll options for April. Remember, for games to count, they can't start for 5 more hours, but you can create the games now if you want.

Want to get into the Mafia scene, but don't know how to play or even what it is? Consult these threads: Mafia Information, Mafia and You, and Rules and Terms of Mafia.
Too much work? Too lazy to read through everything? No worries, you can always jump right into a game and ask for other players or the game runner to help guide you.
What is "Mafia"?
Mafia, for those of you that don't know, is a game that generally takes place in a town, where the townspeople have to determine who the mafia (or "scum") is and lynch them via a majority vote during the day and the mafia try to kill everyone at night and bluff their way out of getting killed by the town.
Mafia News
Golden Pantheon Mafia ended with a mafia win. Aided by some key recruitments and flagging interest in the game, the mafia managed to win despite several lynches of mafia members in the midgame. Well run game by edocsil who will be taking a bit of a hiatus from modding. Hope he gets back to us soon.

Advanced Roles and Strategy by safariguy5
We will be discussing a specific role gambit this issue.
Vengeful Gambit
What is It?
The Vengeful Gambit refers to a LYLO situation with 1 Vengeful Townie, another town role, and a mafia player left. The Vengeful Townie can play scummily to draw a vote. If the other player quickhammers, then the townie shoots the scum player. If no hammer occurs, the vengeful townie continues to play scummily to draw the hammer and then shoots the first voter as that was probably the mafia player.
Example
Alice is the Vengeful Townie, and Bob and Jack are the other players remaining. Alice drops scumtells and Bob votes her. Jack follows with a quickhammer. Alice then shoots Jack as he would most likely be the mafia player.
How to Use this Strategy
This strategy relies on a LYLO situation with only 3 players left. Vengeful Townie is a reasonably uncommon role to begin with and a pretty common mafia fakeclaim, so this strategy also relies on the Vengeful Townie remaining incognito. Scummy play to draw attention really depends on the flow of the game, but the player should be able to determine what constitutes scummy play by the endgame and act accordingly.

Interrogation of denthefrog
Q. What's up?
The sky
Q. How many frogs are living in your den?
4, I'm the only ugly one.
Q. What's your favorite kind of frog?
Poisonous frog
Q. What is your favorite fact about frogs?
The one about being kissed by a princess.
Q. Is it easy being green?
Better green than pink
Q. What is your favorite map?
The rail maps
Q. Marry me (loes)?
Of course
Q. Ass or breast man?
Boob man
Q. I (Ace Rimmer) don't know how long you've been a SoC instructor. Does it get old, or do you still find it enjoyable? Do you try to mix it up enough so you aren't always teaching the same thing?
I have been too busy lately with KoRT leadership and being a MOW so teaching hasn't been a priority. But it's still enjoyable, especially when you are trying to help win a game for somebody and their reply is "wow I didn't think of that" or something similar. As for mixing it up, well there is always a map or setting that some friend or I want to learn.
Q. Do you think josko would make a good teacher?
He is a good teacher.
Q. How often do you get students and privately you say "what a feckin moron"?
Never
Q. Will you submit your answers on time?
I think so. I don't like being late or wasting people's time.
Q. Is fishydance your CC wife since you are playing the merch's valentine tourney with her?
Nope, luckily for her.
Q. As a Frenchman, how upset are you with CC's refusal to implement a "surrender" button?
lol I don't really get upset at online stuff, especially when it comes from morons like you.
Q. Who do you prefer as your wife: Jane or Loes?
I'll break the law and have them both.
Q. Who do you prefer as your wife: Pirlo or Merch313?
I saw a picture of Merch, so it's got to be Pirlo.
Q. How did you come to be so awesome, man? Any tips for the rest of us?
I don't think I'm awesome, but thanks. But seriously, for standard esc games, go to SoC to learn the basics. As for team games, communication is all and it's even better if you can take your turns with your partners or at least one of them.
Q. Best game ever?
Don't pay too much attention to any single game really. Winning my first dubs tourney with drunkmonkey was nice and winning CL4 was a bit special too.
Q. If pirlo was a girl would you marry her?
I'm easy, why not.
Q. What's your best thing you cook?
Anything fresh and seasonal
Q. How much do you hate EW for excluding me (Foxglove) and fishy from this list? (I hope a lot, but in a friendly sort of way.)
Don't mind him, I wouldn't mind adding you two to my harem.
Q. Who is the best looking KORT girl? Pick wisely!
They are all gorgeous and I love them all.
Q. In Escalating Terminator, will you "pull the trigger" if you have a chance at a kill, even if there's not enough cards there for a re-cash?
Not anymore, only winning the game counts these days. Unless I have no chance to win, then might as well take few points before dying.
Q. What is the biggest obstacle n00bs face when coming to our site?
Not sure since it's been a long time, but I would guess it would be the huge varieties of maps and settings?
Q. How many times has Josko made you cry?
Never but I almost foe him once. lol (I love him really, he is the best but can be a bit tense sometime but that is the price to pay to be that awesome.)
Q. What is the best part of been a SOC member and the worst part?
Best part is to see players improving, worst part is not to have the time I'd like to have lately to spend helping.
Q. Do you do it for the fame, the glory or the warm fuzzy feeling of helping others? Or is it a cover to secretively nab up and coming clan members?
The warm fuzzy feeling of helping others
Q. What's the best joke about french people have told you on this site?
Never heard a good one.
Q. What are you doing in london and how long have you been there?
I'm 1 hour away from London, Ipswich to be precise, and I have been in England for far too long. 20 years now, shit time passes quickly.
Q. If you had to kick one person out of KORT, how would you break it to merch?
Easy: you are out fucker.
Q. During your free agency, you had numerous suitors. Why KORT?
They were and still are the best clan around.
Q. How many games or percentage have you carried your team when teaming with monkey?
150%

Round 2 is finally coming to a close with 3 of the 4 semi-finalists decided, heres how things are shaping up.
vs. 
Foed 32 - 30 MD
Well as expected this came down to the wire and was decided in the end by a single game. As with any war that ends this close, congratulations are in order for both clans, but there can be only one winner, and on this occasion FOED takes it and will progress to the semi finals.
vs. 
RA 30 - 30 PIGS
Well i think its fair to say this is probably the closest result either clan is ever likely to have finishing 30-30 and the PIGS taking it thanks to the the Tie-break rule in the ACC competition. Again huge congratulations to both clans for having such a close contest, but for RA the road stops here.
vs. 
TFFS 30 - 23 1RFG
After a bit of a cumbersome start 1RFG lost a batch of games for not filling on them on time, and suffered having the majority of home games made as random as a further penalty. Add on to this that before this round a group of players left for pastures new, it wasn't the best start for them. However they've shown that they have depth and put up a serious challenge against the always competitive TFFS. Officially the score shows TFFS need only a single point to proceed to the semi's, and looking through the active games i think they'll get it, however given the circumstances 1RFG shouldn't take the loss too hard and i'm sure with better organisation will bounce back for their next challenge.
vs. 
OSA 39 - 22 TNC
As per the last report OSA are proceeding and presumably wathing closely for their upcoming opponents.
So it looks like the semi-finals will be shaping up as follows:
vs. vs. Get your bets in now, it's gonna be good!!

Here first table updates
Hello again my friends. Usually I say "and welcome to your favorite part of the Newsletter, War Games, where you can find information about CC Tournaments!" Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't quite bring myself to present such a cheery front. It's my sad duty to report to you that the Tournament world on CC might soon be a thing of the past.
Just in the last few days, the new owners of CC have decided that the Tournaments database is absorbing too many server resources, and with no revenues to counterbalance the costs, is pure deadweight loss to CC. Furthermore, the running of free tournaments is a distraction from the serious business of promoting the Conquer Cup. Therefore, over the next few months the Tournaments Department will be dismantled, and only pay-to-play tournaments like the Conquer Cup will be permitted.
To all the people whom I have had the pleasure of playing with in CC Tournaments over the last two years I bid adieu. Thanks for the memories! Oh, and by the way,

Tournament Tips by DaveH
League Tournaments - part 4
In this article I will continue with the steps I am using to continue the 2012 NFL season tournament I picked up from flexmaster33.
In the last article I explained the creation of lookup tables so that the points awarded to the winning and losing teams could be translated from the winning round. This created a table from which I created a list of teams and total points using the routine that I called "AddScores()".
This routine formed a list of teams with winning and losing points added from which I manually formed the following summary;
Note that I have highlighted the winning team - for my own information only.
The master scorechart is shown below:
To update this master scorechart, I need a routine that selects the starting row of the week's results. It then picks out, in turn, the winning team and score and the losing team and score. It then goes down the master scorechart to match the name of either team. The home or away points are added and also the number of wins or loses also.
One of the problems with a any routine such as this is if the team name is spelled incorrectly, in which case there will be missing data in the master scorechart. To check on this I tally the total scores in the week's results and check that, in updating it, twice this value has been added to the previous total (twice because each team score is recorded twice on the master scorechart).
(These "tips" started off as ones that I used to make it a bit easier in managing my own tournaments. Now, I am looking at other types of tournaments and scoring systems by all you innovative TO's out there.

In the last article I explained the creation of lookup tables so that the points awarded to the winning and losing teams could be translated from the winning round. This created a table from which I created a list of teams and total points using the routine that I called "AddScores()".
This routine formed a list of teams with winning and losing points added from which I manually formed the following summary;
Note that I have highlighted the winning team - for my own information only.
The master scorechart is shown below:
To update this master scorechart, I need a routine that selects the starting row of the week's results. It then picks out, in turn, the winning team and score and the losing team and score. It then goes down the master scorechart to match the name of either team. The home or away points are added and also the number of wins or loses also.
Code: Select all
Sub Update()
iResRowStart = InputBox("Enter the Starting Row Number of the Results:")
'select each matchup in turn and extract the winning and losing data
For i = 0 To 15
aAwayTeam = Cells(iResRowStart + i, 3).Value
aHomeTeam = Cells(iResRowStart + i, 5).Value
iAwayScore = Cells(iResRowStart + i, 4).Value
iHomeScore = Cells(iResRowStart + i, 6).Value
For j = 3 To 34 'run down the team name column of the master scorechart
If Cells(j, 3).Value = aAwayTeam Then 'an away team match
Cells(j, 8).Value = Cells(j, 8).Value + iAwayScore 'update the home and away scores
Cells(j, 9).Value = Cells(j, 9).Value + iHomeScore
If iHomeScore > iAwayScore Then 'Home Win
Cells(j, 5).Value = Cells(j, 5).Value + 1
ElseIf iHomeScore = iAwayScore Then 'Tied
Cells(j, 6).Value = Cells(j, 6).Value + 1
Else 'Away Win
Cells(j, 4).Value = Cells(j, 4).Value + 1
End If
ElseIf Cells(j, 3).Value = aHomeTeam Then ' repeat as above but for a home team
Cells(j, 8).Value = Cells(j, 8).Value + iHomeScore
Cells(j, 9).Value = Cells(j, 9).Value + iAwayScore
If iHomeScore > iAwayScore Then 'Home Win
Cells(j, 4).Value = Cells(j, 4).Value + 1
ElseIf iHomeScore = iAwayScore Then 'Tied
Cells(j, 6).Value = Cells(j, 6).Value + 1
Else 'Away Win
Cells(j, 5).Value = Cells(j, 5).Value + 1
End If
Else
End If
Next j
Next i
End Sub(These "tips" started off as ones that I used to make it a bit easier in managing my own tournaments. Now, I am looking at other types of tournaments and scoring systems by all you innovative TO's out there.

And now for our regular look at a selection of the tournaments in sign-ups.
League of the Ancient Heroes by Beko the Great - Freemium Friendly!
Featuring perhaps one of the strangest premises for a tournament (the TO has "a three-headed hydra nesting in the bathroom of [his] basement"!), this tournament features 8 ancient heroes, each with their own special abilities that affect the amount of points they receive for respective game settings throughout the tournament - Escalating, Flat Rate, Terminator and Quads.
While I cannot vouch for the balance of these powers, I will still say that this is a tournament worth considering if you're looking for a breakaway from the usual tournaments of normal gameplay, and includes factors that change the dynamics of the tournament. For those that do join, I do hope you get to pick a hero that plays to your strengths!
Game of Thrones by mint-murray - Freemium Friendly!
For those of you who have a life outside CC (
), and just can't get enough of Game of Thrones even after their season 3 premiere just yesterday, then this tournament is most definitely for you. Select a house to represent, bring along your selection of home map and settings, and wage war against the other houses. Better be quick though - the tournament only has room for 16 fans of the show to participate!
Conquer Your Neighbours, Take Over the World! by jeremscarem - Premium Only.
This is the TO's maiden attempt at hosting a tournament, and he's certainly going big with it. Each round features maps pertaining to the themes set for the tournament - Tribes, Nations, Empires, Continents, Hemispheres and The Globe - each time expanding to a larger scope in global domination. Players who prove their ability to tend to, and conquer smaller territories at the start will be allowed to progress and attempt to do the same with the larger regions of conquest. After all, "he who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much".
2nd Annual March Map-ness Tournament by Puddleglum - Premium Only.
If you're still haven't got your fill of March Madness despite March having come to a close, then why not try to make it last longer by joining this March Mapness tournament? The tournament has a simple 1v1 structure, and utilises Random maps, meaning you're bound to encounter a wide variety of maps en route to the end. As you go further along in the tournament, you'll be required to show greater skill, with rounds increasing from best of one to best of three, and finally five. Reaching the end of it all will certainly be no mean feat!
These are my picks, but if you don't like any of these go to the Create/Join a Tournament or Tournaments Tab and take a look at the many others waiting to be filled.
If you're craving tourney action now, check out the Requests for Immediate Players section of the tournament forum. You can be playing very quickly after signing up as a reserve.

Welcome to what is surely a bumper edition from the foundry. The last two issues have brought you only me. Well after a call out, I would like to introduce the dispatches two newest reporters. KingRat and CNGT. Both are very eager and I look forward to reading what they can come up with over the coming months. As normal, we bring you a run down of what maps are where in the foundry, lots of news this issue and a poem from generalhead. We say goodbye to the competitions but do not dispare. Please read on past our brand new header. The Great Community Map Project is finally on us.

Lots to fill you in on this issue.
Our beloved gameplay CA, nolefan5311, after having served for a year in a exemplary manner as Cartographer Assistant has decided to step down from his position. koontz1973 gets moved from the drafting room to game play with iancanton. Lastly, thenobodies80 will once again look after the drafting room. As he put it himself, who better to welcome a new map maker than the boss himself.
Good luck nole and thanks.

Conquer 500 by dolomite13
Labyrinth, the very first map to hit with conditional borders by koontz1973 has been having a few teething problems.
In fact it has been locked twice. When it will be playable again, no one really knows, but lets hope it is soon.

2013-03-31 12:40:53 - thenobodies80: However, If you prefer to have the game deleted, you may open a support ticket on the Help page. However, all remaining players must agree to deleting the game in game chat.

Friends of the Map FoundryI was staring at the blank canvas in front of me
Wondering what the painting would eventually be
I knew it would be a map, but of where I didn't care
I could make this map of anywhere
A vision came into my head and I started to see
I saw a vision on the canvas in front of me
I laid down some paint and I started to brush
My hands couldn't move fast enough
I painted a mountain here I painted a village there
I painted a river, running everywhere
I painted a boat, I painted a port
I painted vegetation of every sort
My brain was racing
My hands were moving so fast
My heart was pounding
I thought my eyes wouldn't last
I laid down my paintbrush and I stepped back from the canvas
I looked at the painting and said out loud I didn't plan this
what I saw was not worthy to hang in the map foundry
what I saw was nothing good in front of me
Then my friends stepped through the door
I couldn't believe my eyes, My jaw hit the floor
they all picked up a brush and started to add some more
my map started taking on a new shape, now this is what I was looking for
When they were done
I couldn't believe my eyes
They all had so much fun
And much to my surprise
The painting of the map it sat in front of me
Now this was a map that is worthy
to hang in the map foundry
and I have my friends to thank, they all made me so happy.
))))Thank you friends of the map foundry))))
Spoiler
A huge apology to all you out there. I thought I had this one locked down. Doubled checked it and everything. But as some of you know, I completely buggered this one up. I feel like a real horses arse.
But not to worry, we are all good and some of you managed to get it even without a clue or two.
So well done to those few who for some reason, even with my mistakes, thought this was USA.
So when you play this map, does New England Touch New Jersey?
One other mistake was pointed out by gilligan but I will not dwell on that.Congrats to all who got it in the end and figured out the map was turned upside down, skewed and generally just messed with by a monkey with half a brain (sorry Andy).

Medals shined and handed out.
.........................................Important.
As some of you already know, this is the last competition in the foundry dispatch for the next two months. But do not worry. As I stated last issue, we are moving this over to the foundry proper and merging it with The Great Community Map Project. All the fun can be had over there. But please stick around and take part. Competitions will be held randomly but at least one a week so it would be wise to stay around.
In fact, the first one is already up, so get on over and start playing. #GCCH
In the beginning their was only classic.
..........A player stood up and shouted. ..............I want more.
..............So we in the foundry will give you more.
The Great community map project. The Idea By Seamus76

Growing up I was always a big fan of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. For those of you who don't remember them, books are pieces of paper with words that have been bound together, sometimes including pictures. And this was the inspiration for what Conquer Club is about to do. What follows though is a quick story, it's your adventure. You will decide where it takes you, and you will decide how it ends. When you reach the marked "question", as indicated by it's two question marks and parentheses (??), highlight what follows your answer and read on. DO NOT HIGHLIGHT OR READ THE OTHER ANSWER.
Now, as the rain falls the time has come...
The sound of boots as the soldiers came down the walk began to grow, and although it had already been committed to memory I was hesitant to destroy the map. They are close, so close you can hear their voices, directing, plotting. "Three, over there. You two, around back, it must be found". The map, they want it more than anything. Will it be my only hope for survival, or my ultimate destruction. Should I keep it or completely destroy it forever. What should be done with the map?(??)
Destroy the map: Fire, that's it, the only way, they can not have any part of it. As the door burst open the look of horror on their faces as the map went up in flames was amazing. A low guttural sound began to rise from him, arm stretched out grasping at thin air, as if his worst nightmare was actually coming true before his eyes. "Kill him now he screamed!!" Standing my ground as the rush of cold steal began to quickly close in I shouted, "Do that and it will be lost forever. Let me live and there is a chance you may know it again. The choice is yours." The soldiers stopped and looked back at him. It was his life that depended on their next action so they would leave it to him. "Stop" he yelled, unable to hide the sense of defeat pouring out of him. Quickly I was taken to the kingdom and held for interrogation. How I turned this into being General is a story for another day.
Keep the map: I can see their stalking silhouettes passing by the window as the door is open. "Where is the map?", he screamed with a look of desperation only a marked man can make. "I have the map, it's in a safe place." "Give me the map or I will have you eaten by the dogs." There was no bluffing on his part, but I could not let them know where the map was. "It doesn't matter," he said "we know the map is here". Yes it was true, but they would need to tear this place apart board by board. "Tear this stinking place apart board by board" he snarled. And as his men began to destroy the small house, for the first time I knew they were going to find it. In that moment I heard the voice of a young soldier say "Here it is, I've found it!" And before the words escaped his mouth I could see the dogs being released. As the last breadth escaped my ravaged body he stood over me with a satisfied grin, "I'll see you in hell" he said.
And so with a simple choice your fate was sealed, and thus the premise of The Great Community Map is born! It's that simple, with a series of questions and polls we will all decide the fate of Conquer Clubs next Classic map. What this map looks like, the direction it goes, it's gameplay, and how it ends. Every major detail will be voted on, and decided on, by the community. We are about to undertake the greatest community event know to man, you know what I mean. So get involved, vote, give feedback, and rally your troops behind what you think should be the next move for the map. But most importantly enjoy the ride.

....................
As you can see from Seamus76 initial idea, we in the foundry have decided to take this forward. So for the next two months, a lot of fun is going to be had in the foundry.
Here is how it will work.
Over the next few weeks, we will run a series of polls. All you have to do is vote for your favoured choice or choices. See, it is that easy. The first poll is already up and running. Each poll will run for about a week. At the end, a competition will be held to see who can make the best map from the set of criteria we have all set. Be warned though, each choice you make will effect the next polls options.
Lets have some fun.
To make this fun for all, we are going to be giving a few medals away each week and months. So you do not just come vote and run, each week, a player at the end of the month will receive a GC medal and 500 conquer credits. This medal will be called The Patrons Medal. To win this, all you need to do is say why you voted the way you did over the course of the month and generally participate within the thread. (2 months = 2 medals & credits)
Some of you would of played the competitions I have been running in the dispatch over the last few months. Well, they have now been sent there. Each week, a simple fun competition or competitions will be run. Just look out for the post that has the competitions banner in it (the one above).
A series of fast and furious tournaments will be run as well with maps chosen based on the results of the polls. You can enter these in the tournament thread and are open to everyone. But a GA medal will also be awarded to a player in these tournaments. You need to play in the tournament and be part of this thread to have a chance of winning it though.
So while the action is taking place in the foundry, you can get all of the latest updates right here in the dispatch. Seamus76 has kindly agreed to keep you all informed of what is happened and what is coming up. Also, for the very latest, look out for this #GCCH in the twitter feed. It will let you know when all the best stuff is happening.
Hope to see a lot of you take part in this. Remember to spread the word, bring a friend, as if you do not take part, how can you complain about the next Classic map.
