Welcome clans one and all to what will surely be a fantastic week of fun here in the world of clans. As you know, we in the foundry are making the next great map for us all to play on, but we want to give you, the mighty clans of Conquer Club, a chance to contribute as well as have some fun. Over the course of the clan week 6th - 12th May, three challenges will be heading your way.

How to participate. Sign ups open till 4th May.
All you need to do is follow some simple rules and send me ([player]koontz1973[/player]) the following information. It is that easy.

What is in it for you and your clan.

Second, General Achievement medals for every winning clan member.
Finally, If your clan wins any two of the three challenges, your clan's name will be added to the map as a bonus region.

As you can see, the three challenge spoilers are empty for now (mostly ). This is because every clan should start equal and have a fair chance of winning medals. But to give you a couple of clues to the challenges, I will give you this:

Welcome to the 22 champions. You have been chosen by your clan to play in the clan week games.

The set up for your games are this.

Each of you will play in 5 games.
All games will be made on ???? maps.
All games will have some different settings.

Maps and settings.




How to get into games.
At this time, all of you will receive five PMs from me.
Inside the PMs, you will find a spoiler.
Open each spoiler and join any one game you like by clicking on the auto join.
You will have 48 hours to join all five of the games.
You are allowed to play any one game from each PM/spoiler.
You can play any other champion as many times as you like. Once or five times. Up to you.

If you fail to join games within the 48 hours, it will be counted as a loss for you. At the end of 24 hours, I will PM all players who are missing a game or games to remind them. Any player who is in a game at the end of the 48 hours and does not have an opponent, it will be counted as a win for that player.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=challenge three]Clan Week Graphics Challenge.

This challenge is now closed.

The signatures have been sent out to the champions.

Voting.
When I have received all entries, I will send them out to each clans champion. It will be up to the champions to vote for the winning signature. The only one I will not send out is that champions clan signature. So Manifest Destiny champion cannot vote for their own signature. The champions will have 24 hours to get the results back to me. At which time I will announce the winner. In case of a tie, I will select a random new ? ? member that is on at that time and will ask them to decide the fate of clans.

Any questions, ask away.[/spoiler]

Rules for individual events will be posted at the time inside the spoilers along with the event.

In this topic your clan just need to choose a "champion" to represent it(dont know how)
Its about the community map project and related to the foundry
You can find more info, here, in the OP

I think you are talking about lx clan tournament with some strict rules to get in, if so, they are a bit more relaxed now.

[koontz1973]

Time to hand out some medals. These medals are for the week 3 competition. You where all asked to write something relevant towards a map in the foundry. Your entries where judged on two criteria. Grammar and relevance to the map.

Well some of you just managed to scrape through, but all entries are going to be awarded a medal. Any judge not judging has been deemed as judging great for all entries.

Well done to:
iAmCaffeine
mint-murray
anamainiacks
Swifte
betiko
All of you have received your medals.

On a side note, betiko went above and beyond what was asked for. This to me deserves a special reward. But you will have to wait till Monday for that one.

Things started getting bad when the new security system went down, logistically it was like an easter egg hunt trying to get security cards to allow access throughout the facility.
Don't suppose if anyone will ever never how the virus escaped the lab, all i know is i'm in the middle of the shitstorm inside a tin can.
Might be useful if i can get a weapon from one of the dead security, then hightail my ass out of here, and i wont be letting anyone alive or anything deadalive stop me from getting to the helicopter.

I think you are talking about lx clan tournament with some strict rules to get in, if so, they are a bit more relaxed now.

20 players required that have completed 5 clan games, so we don't qualify.

We don't qualify for the Lx tourney either, wars had to be completed before April 2012, our first war didn't start until April 2012.

[koontz1973]

Premise:

A group of intrepid explorers (that's you ) have entered the map foundry! They split up, searching through the Main Foundry, the Drafting Room, the Atlas, Foundry Discussions, and <gasp> possibly even venturing into the Melting Pot and the Recycling Box. They browse the 225 live maps via game finder or start a game. They use the search function in the forums, possibly even advanced search. They scour every nook and cranny of Conquer Club far and near.

What are all these noble honorably men and ladies looking for, you might ask??

Information, my friends!

Once again, Cardinal Trini, leader in the Realm of Live Chat, has set forth a task. He asks that Conquer Club's bravest explorers search for the answers to a series of trivia questions. Many people flock to try for the riches he offers as a reward to the first to complete his task. But be warned - each may only claim one treasure chest that day. And should one fail, they may attempt the task again, lest they leave the Realm of Live Chat empty handed!

Date & Times:

Date: Tuesday, 7 May 2013
Times: 3 trivia contests will be held that day at the following times:

CC Time: 11:00:00
CC Time: 17:00:00
CC Time: 23:00:00
Location: Live Chat, enter /join #GCCM in the message box to join the room where the event will be held.
Format: The first member to correctly answer 10 trivia questions about maps and the foundry wins. The winner of each session will not be allowed to compete in the following session/s. However, if you compete and are unsuccessful, you may compete in other sessions.
Prizes: A shiny gold GA medal!

Good luck to all of the participants, and we hope to see all of you there! Regards,

--Team CC & the #GCCM

Last week we didn t need to write a description for all 15 maps? Lol

[koontz1973]

Week Five is on us today.

Lots to get through today. Firstly, a look at this weeks poll.
[spoiler= voter topics for week Five]High Fantasy / Epic Fantasy

This type of fantasy is characterized by stories that are happening on an epic scale in a world completely different from our own. Strange beings, great battles and lots of magic.

Low Fantasy

Low Fantasy stories are set in a relatively normal world, containing some fantasy elements.

Historical Fantasy

Fantasy set in a historical setting, not in a thought-up fantasy world.

Dark Fantasy

Fantasy in which scary creatures like werewolves and vampires are the main or important characters.

Contemporary Fantasy

Fantasy in a modern-day setting, with the story at least partly happening in our real, contemporary world.

Science Fantasy

Stories that contain a mix of fantasy and science fiction elements.

[/spoiler]
We have winners in our week four competition:
[spoiler=winners]Iron Maid
dakky21
Dukasaur
moler29
CJ Lues[/spoiler]
We even have a new competition for you.
[spoiler=new competition]
Welcome to the fifth weekly competition held in the foundry in conjunction with The Great Community Map Project. We have a great one for you this week.

.................................................Carnival Games

Take a close look at the image below. It is from a simple childhood game of guess how many jellybean's are in the jar. Only this time, it is maps in a jar. But like jellybean's, more than one of the same colour can be in the jar. Do not send the maps names, just the number of different maps.
Example
1 Midgard map = 1 map found.
2 Midgard maps = 1 map found.

The player with the closest number will be declared the winner. If multiple entries answer correctly, multiple medals (Max of 5) will be awarded.

Get the entries to me (koontz1973) by this time.

Good luck and happy hunting. [/spoiler]
We have our first Patrons medal to hand out this week.
[spoiler=patrons medal]betiko
Well done betiko. I awarded him this for not only keeping the thread active at times with multiple posts, but also for the constant barrage of PMs sent. All in all, a very worthy winner for this.[/spoiler]
