Since the last newsletter, the Conquer Club Clan scene hit a significant milestone... the 400th Clan War was completed! Congratulations to Agents of Chaos on defeating Brethren of the Fat Mermaid in the 400th completed war. It's a milestone that represents the strength of the Clan Community and the effort of many volunteers, and is quite a reason to celebrate!
I'm proud to welcome IA star [player]Swifte[/player] to our team as a dedicated CL4 reporter. I usually have to arm-wrestle people in here to write articles, and they don't always work out so great; but he actually volunteered for the job
Below is Swifte's first CL4 update, and you will soon see that he has been very thorough! Qwert has also been considerate enough to show us a drafting of the rules for his vision of the Clan League, which may yet be an independent event or perhaps the official Clan League 5 of the future. Consider commenting in viewtopic.php?f=438&t=170284 to help with the development of this event!
In other news, the second round of the CL4 knockout tournaments begins this week. For those of you that are in them, best of luck!

CL4: By The Numbersby Swifte (IA) [spoiler=CL4 By the Numbers]Believe it or not, Phase 2 of CL4 is now over 90% complete! With that in mind, the folks in Empire did some interesting comparisons of Phase 1 win percentages to Phase 2 win percentages for the clans that made it in to Division 1. Being a numbers man , I couldn't very well let the fun stop there! So, I have prepared three tables for your enjoyment. The first table is the games won/lost and win percentages for round 1 by Division.
Keep in mind that due to the CL4 scoring system, which rewards the results of individual battles and not overall win %, these results don't necessarily indicate the order in which teams were placed or how they advanced to Phase 2. For example, KORT had a higher win percentage overall in Phase 1 than IA, but since IA won the head-to-head match-up they were able to score more league points. All that said, win percentages are still fun to look at - so here we go:
In this second table, you can see the win percentages within Divisions of Phase 2. In Phase 1, the largest win % in round 1 was 78% (KORT) while the lowest was 23%. Now in Phase 2, the largest win % has dropped to 68% (with only 4 clans above 60%), and the lowest has increased to 29%, and the next lowest being 36%. I think this is a positive reflection on the effectiveness of Phase 1 in creating competitive groupings for Phase 2. Taking Division 1 for example, while each of those clans were above 60% in Phase 1, in Phase 2 it will come down to a handful of games deciding the last teams that will move on, with the last advancing team likely to have around a 50% win rate.
Finally, I've combined the reported results thus far between the two phases to get an overall win percentage. I have included all clans, what Division they were in for Phase 1 and 2, and their overall win percentage. Several of the Division 1 teams remain atop this leader board, but others like WAR and 1RFG have also risen thanks to strong performances in their Phase 2 groups.
Best of luck to those working on wrapping up the last 10% of their respective Phase 2 matches, and especially to those moving on to Phase 3. Perhaps by next edition will will have a clear picture of who is moving on. For now, use the links below to follow along with the remaining Phase 2 action!
