Greetings, comrades, and welcome to the 125th running of the Conquer Club Dispatch!
This issue is somewhat brief, so I've decided to stick everything in a single section! Please enjoy!
In this issue:
The second of three major announcements about our Facebook presence. You know the first on Sept. 6th when [player]tzor[/player] took over as Borg Facebook Co-ordinator. The second Oct. 2nd . Six years worth of premium prizes, and all you have to do is share us on Facebook! (The full announcement is reproduced below.) What is the third, The biggest event in the history of Conquer Club, the Great War event , was launched on Sept. 17th, and I already told you a bit about it in Issue 124 . I have a follow-up article in this issue, and I'll give you some updates. The SIXTH [player]JamesKer1[/player] is back with his monthly look at hot topics in the Suggestions forum. [player]iAmCaffeine[/player] has once again produced the list of who won community-based tournaments over the past month! A few quick reminders:
There are tons of spaces left in Conquer Cup VIII As announced last time, the Conquer Club Store has replaced the old Purchase menu. There are many more options than there used to be: 1-month and 3-month memberships, speed game packs (for those who don't want to go full premium but do want to play a few speed games) and packages of stars (if there's some tournament that you just have The first MAJOR TOURNAMENT open for sign-ups! Remember, all Major tournaments count towards your score in the TPA, so if you miss one you are losing out on HUGE potential points. Massive Prize Pool in New Facebook Promotion by TeeGee show

The Great War Update show
Already there have been 10 Battle Scenario Auto-tournaments launched since the beginning of this event. Five of those are no longer available. Each Battle Scenario comes up for a limited time (about a week) and then is retired forever. this post . They will change from time to time. We will always give you plenty of notice when a change is coming.My Games page in the promo box at the top labelled "Great War."The Great War CC Time: 2014-10-03 15:00:00 Sept 30th and asks you to get creative with writing Declarations of War.
Guess the Map -- Round 6 by dakky21 show
This continues to be a very popular contest!. Last round we gave you a surprise and there will be more coming! In this sixth installment, the difficulty goes TO the MOON! You must PM your answers to [player]dakky21[/player]. Please do not answer by posting in the thread or PMing to anyone else. Only answers sent to dakky21 will be official. Answers to each issue's quiz must be sent within ten days after the actual publication date. Minor typos will be overlooked. If you mean "Jamaica" and you type "Jamiaca" that's fine. HOWEVER, we are not finishing your thought for you: there is both a Baltic States and a Baltic Crusades. If you just type "Baltic" that is a WRONG answer, because it would require us to finish the thought and decide between Crusades and States. Points will be cumulative over the 10 issues. Depending on interest, the 10th round may carry bonus images and/or bonus points. In case of a tie at the end of the contest, dakky21 will PM a supplementary tiebreaking list of extremely difficult images. Please format your answers as follows:Number dot space Name of Map 1. Jamaica First place 2000 credits Second place 1000 credits Third place 625 credits Top five contestants get a GA medal. To qualify for any of the above prizes, you must score at least 35 points over the course of the contest. If and only if we get 25 or more contestants, we will have a random draw for a 6th GA medal.If and only if we get 75 or more contestants, the top player will get a Challenge Medal in addition to other prizes.Editor's note: we got the 75 in our first installment! Every issue the top contestant will get one or more Conquer Stars. Just like everything else about the stars, this is shrouded in mystery, so there's no telling what kind of star you will get! Drab? Auburn? Pink? A box of 50 Auburns? Wouldn't you like to know? This star prize can only be won once, so if you win it in week 1 and you are the top contestant in week 2 again, the prize in week 2 will go to the second place contestant, and so on down the list.

Because of a small lull in activity last month, we are very sorry we were not able to get an issue out. However, we are back to normal levels, and can continue featuring more of your awesome ideas!Notepad for Every Member (2014) - While there are alternatives to completing this suggestion per user, [player]willedtowin1[/player] brings up a nice and convenient idea about creating a note space for every member that is stored on the website instead of at home or elsewhere, where one may not have access all the time.Unlimited Wait List For Freemiums (2014) - As suggested by [player]degaston[/player], this new policy would allow freemiums more "premium" like option for their waiting games by removing the limit until they fill up their 4 active game slots.Time Extension in Speed Games (2014) - A unique idea suggested by [player]lykoz[/player] that allows measures to safeguard against running out of time in speed games, especially when running more than one at a time.
