CC Dispatch [Issue 106 03-11-2013] Scoreboard, Bot & More

[Dukasaur]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 106th edition of the Dispatch. I apologize for the delay, but all of the teams have been working hard to bring you some great info, and this one is jam packed. We're also excited to mention the new Scoreboard, Saxibot, and all of the new updates provided by BigWham the man! Enjoy.

My name is Seamus76 and I'll be your host for this fine installment of the Dispatch. It's an honor to host 106 for the great Dukasaur, who deserves a rest, albeit a quick one. As the Foundry Executive, and a map maker I promise not to talk too much about the Foundry, the maps, how great the maps being developed are, and how you should all take a moment to stop by and comment on some new maps in development. But anyway, here's what we have to offer:

The first regular section is Mess Hall and Interrogation Room, which includes an in depth interrogation of the great Kabanellas, as well as Round 3 of iAmCaffeine's Dispatch Trivia.

The Platoon Report covers all aspects of the Clan scene, and this issue includes a full Conquer Cup 4 update, a quick look at the scoreboards in Clan League 5, and now back on a monthly basis Clan Shakers and Movers. Are you one?

War Games includes another interview with Tournament Winner I_AM_BOGEY, as well as Tournament Tips and TPA Wrap, which always provides helpful info.

Cartographic Surveillance brings back the ever popular Hidden Symbols, exposing secrets behind some of your favorite maps. We also detail out all maps currently being developed, and Kootz1973 highlights MrBenns new Small World map.

Finally, our Next Mission Brief includes such things as the closing credits and information on how to subscribe.

[spoiler=Interrogation of Kabanellas]Q. I'm (IcePack) really excited about your new map coming, have you heard any news regarding the XML updates required to make your map work?

Which one of them?
Actually, both the 5 Towers and the Age of Buccaneers need some XML updated, though the last one would need a more radical update. Regarding the 5 Towers, which I think would be a more feasible one, I'm waiting for a solution.

Q. Do you have any other ideas or plans for new maps that can work within the current XML structure?

At this point I just want to conclude those that are on the Foundry. I will need to change the Age of Buccaneers map for that, so we can consider that it will work within the current XML structure.

Q. Have you had any formal training/taken classes for graphics?

Well, probably just a perception of design & style related to the fact of being an architect. As for the software, I had to learn it for my self.

Q. Will you ever let the Clandemonium map to be updated with new clan names?

I will never oppose it

Q. Which long gone map maker do you miss?

I'd like to see more things from Qwert and natty dread

Q. Are their any players you really hate? A yes or no diplomatic answer will be accepted.

Really not I tend not to overrate stupidity on this site

Q. Your recent maps have gone all papery in look, any reason for this?

Not really, probably just a context thing.
Considering the last two (currently on the Foundry): for the Age of Buccaneers It seemed the right thing to do, being a Caribbean-buccaneering style map. As for the 5 Towers I wanted to expand King's Court 2 style of graphics and game-play.

But coming to think of it, there's probably a natural affinity for that kind of look. I did use it several times (Age of Dawn, Napoleonic Europe, KC2)

Q. Why is it you are the best team mate that I (Mageplunka69) ever played with and not in a sexual way?

Natural nonsexual chemistry

Q. Why do you like the smell of napalm in the morning mate?

Only the smell of Napalm in Coppola's Apocalypse Now

Q. Where does your name come from?

It's just a variation of my own family name.

Q. How about a new XL version of Clandemonium that could include loads of the current clans?

Not keen about wasting hours in a Clandemonium revamp/upgrade

Q. Did you mean to go with 'a snake ball' or 'kale n salab', and the letters got all jumbled up, when you registered for CC? If the same happened to me (hopalong), what do you think I was actually trying to type when I registered?

got'a'long....

Q. Is it true that FOED has orgies? How come I have never been invited?

You need to be a veteran FOED member and you need to be able to drink one bottle of Whiskey in less that 20 minutes while smoking cuban cigars. You also need to have a FOED tatoo located in some erogenous zone of your choice.
Having read Churchill's biography (or from any other prestigious drinker) might help too.

Q. Which of your maps do you hate losing on the most?

ALL!!!!!!!!

Q. What do you think of CC having 225+ maps? Is there no bottom in sight?

I'd say that there are probably too many maps.

Q. Do you think that we should periodically go through and remove older maps and/or revamp the ones that aren't up to par anymore?

Most def!

Q. Is the rumor true that you are making a map for Vegas that awards no points because whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?

Not that I know of... while sober at least. But that's a freaking good idea!!

Q. Do you find it a challenge to always create with only one hand? What is the most exciting thing you do with your other hand while creating maps?

Holding a Scotch (I wouldn't call it exciting though)

Q. Ass or breast man?

Breast & Ass combined with a mild mixture of Ass & Breast

Q. What does the Fox say?

hugh?!!

Q. Is it true you are trying to make a map of a woman's body where the goal is to hold the g spot for 2 turns... The kicker is, you are going to move the g spot each turn....?

No XML for that (yet....)

Q. LSD or paint thinners?

Both, but we can't forget diluent either. All mixed preferably.

Q. When will be the right moment in Game 7413019 for you to make your big move? Rumour has it that that game actually started on cave walls before the last ice age ... which begs the question: evolution or evil lotion?

I'm preparing a backstage move, allright.
it will happen on round 2000, and it will probably cause a temporary crash on CC [/spoiler]

strange that nobody notify that AQOH are secure Championship in Third League of CL5?

[dakky21]

how can I have 19 points when I had 8 in first round ? I got 11 points in round 2? Either you gave me some points more in round 1 or you miscalculated something.
