Welcome Comrades to the 68th edition of the Dispatch
CHAOS HITS CONQUER CLUB - "ANONYMOUS" GROUP GIVES EVERYONE ADMIN POWERS User and apparent anarchist, [player]@n0nym0us[/player], made an announcement today that the site administrators, [player]lackattack[/player], [player]king achilles[/player], and [player]AndyDufresne[/player] have been stripped of their admin powers and given to the members of the Conquer Club community as an act to promote "FR33D0M" and squash corruption. Hundreds of bans, premium-giving, and dice adjustments later, Conquer Club is left with one hell of an April Fool's joke!
Ah, yes, good times. I rather enjoyed giving the [player]Swedish Chef[/player] a New Recruit ban for those April Fool's Days of pseudo-Swedish jibber-jabber. Why a New Recruit ban? How do you think Swedish Chef gets his food to taste so fresh?
Bork! Bork! Bork!

[spoiler=Interrogation of amazzony]
Hi amazzony! Heya! Q. How did you find CC, and how long did it take before you got involved in the tournament section? I was suggested to check out the site by a friend who we played a lot of RISK together. He never became serious about CC, I've been hooked on the game since November 2006. I had to look up the dates because I had no idea. First I started playing in tournaments (September 2007) and the first tournament that I ran was just a month later. Once I got the taste, I was drawn to tournaments really fast and for the first 3 years I was super active, both playing, running and helping out in other ways; since last year I'm feeling that the excitement of tournaments and CC has started to wear off. Q. Which tournament did you most enjoy running? This is a really unfair question. I've ran 143 tournaments with all kind of different settings, formats, themes, my own original ideas, created and ran official CC tournaments, rescued tournaments, been running them alone, with co-hosts and as a "sitter", was the leader of two multiorganiser tournaments. Every tournament has been enjoyable to run in a way, all of them have had hiccups and most of them have made me wonder at least once why on earth am I doing it. At the end of the day though you get the answer to the question when you get to declare the winner and enjoy compliments from people who liked the tournament. Q. Vodka, or whiskey? If I had to pick then vodka in a cocktail. Though prefer a good English or Scandinavian cider. Or a glass of semisweet wine. Q. What keeps you coming back? My clan, Generation One, those wonderful people. It's the only reason why I've stuck around this long. Whenever I feel like being tired of everything that is going on and not finding my games and/or tournaments enough to keep me having fun then I have always had a place to hide out until the motivation returns. Thanks to tournaments I ended up there and thanks to my clan mates I've been able to enjoy CC for such a long time. Q. Hath: great member of G1 or the GREATEST member of G1? A really great member! Though I would never dare to show my face in the clan forums again if I didn't mention the biggest slacker Serbia as G1's greatest member. But really, all of G1 is greatest for me. We have such a wide range of different people all over the world who make such a wise company. Q. Who are your favorite tournament players? I'm going to give another diplomatic answer here but I cannot pick names. I've had over 2000 different people playing in my tournaments and it's impossible to pick from them. For me the players who take interest and time to check out the tournament, notice mistakes and challenge my decisions in a respectful way, respect the competitors and the organizer and just show general interest and appreciation for the work that is put into running tournaments are the ones who I always wish and hope to find in my tournaments. Through years there's been hundreds of people like that. Q. What has been your all time favorite tournament that you've run? You are persistent but I still don't have an answer to that. I looked through the list of my organised tournaments, there are good things and bad things related to all of them, fortunately mostly positive emotions but nothing pops up as a real favourite. Q. What is your favorite line of the Estonian national anthem, and what does it mean to you? I cannot pick a single line because the meaning has been spread to different lines, but living currently in England, these words are and will always be very important to me, wherever I am, wherever I will be: Q. Have you ever thought about adding more z's to your name? Now that would be just confusing and could be seen as me being sleepy all the time. zzzz… Q. Where can I (The Bison King) find the mysterious cities of gold? Do you really think that you'd be the person who I'd share the knowledge if I had it? Q. Must a son atone for the sins of his father? No, never. It often happens that they have to but I believe that we are all responsible only for our own actions and words. We influence others with ours but we can be punished only for our mistakes. Q. When will you wear wigs? A colourful clown wig most likely once I learn to juggle and create balloon animals beyond amateur level, hopefully never though. Q. Which was your favorite tournament to run? Again? You just won't give up. Q. You seem to have rescued a lot of tournaments that others have dropped. Do you find it extra interesting, trying to unravel a tangled mess? Absolutely. It was a great new way to find joy in running tournaments and add another level to helping out. It's always interesting to find out how big of a mess the abandoned tournament is (usually a big one) and then find a way to fix it, it's like solving a puzzle. Q. Kittens or werewolves? Which are more cuddly? Werewolves. At least you know to be on your guard all the time, the cuteness of kittens can create false safety. Q. If you were invited to dinner, and found out that Hannibal Lecter was the guest of honour, what would you do? Pack a gun and end the dinner before it starts. Q. If you're falling-down drunk, but you're already laying on the floor, can you go any lower? You've reached the lowest point when you are laying in your vomit… Think about it next time you are drinking on the floor. Q. Which is the more important cultural icon: PEZ or M&Ms? M&Ms. Chocolate has way more power. Q. What are your favorite cookies and why? Coconut, because my grandmother makes the most delicious ones. Q. Do you prefer syrup, or jelly? Jelly. Q. How long have you been pregnant? Thanks for your time! [/spoiler]

[player]Viceroy63[/player]Strategy Executive Proactive or Reactive? By QuikSilver show
Proactive or reactive? Example for a quad Game 10544632 . Seems like a game as normal as it is, but I'm very proud of my team for winning this. When it first started I said to myself that they have a very good drop. Examples for 1 vs 1 Game 10427367 got me by attacking early. He was proactive, he did not wait and stack, that's why I was so frustrated to lose it. Can't blame the dices, he did well! I was talking to you about waiting too much and being surprise? Game 10272399 and Game 10156626 (you got to see this reaction! he was shock, but recognize that I played well and he did wait too long). These guys know how to play this map! A word about 8 player escalating games Example for doubles Game 10120366 , that's a double game of 3 teams, on the Iberia map. Conclusion
French Version show
Proactif ou réactif?Game 10544632 . À l'apparence anodine, je suis très fier d'avoir gagné cette partie avec mon équipe. Lorsque la partie a d'abord débuté, je me suis dit quel déploiement de merde. Mon équipe ne s'est pas parlé sur le chat avant la ronde 9! Nous nous sommes laissé à notre sors, vouez à un échec lamentable, nous n'étions pas là. Notre tactique sans nous en avoir parlé était de charger [player]Mad777[/player] pour qu'il puisse prendre contrôle du Great hall. Rien n’allait depuis le début, je me disais nous allons la perdre sans avoir rien fait! Nous ne faisions que réagir stupidement. À la ronde 9, [player]Mad777[/player] à brisé le silence et cela m'a redonné espoir. J'ai vu que rien n'était perdu, que l'ennemi c'était ramollit en voyant que cela faisait 8 rondes que nous ne faisions pas grand chose. Nous nous sommes mis à nous parler et nous avons pour les 5 rondes suivantes écrit de nombreux commentaires, à la fin nous nous écrivions même des blagues, l'humeur était revenue et nous avons arraché la victoire! L'autre équipe s’est très bien défendue et a très bien joué. La seule différence est qu'à la fin nous n'étions plus passifs, mais nous étions proactifs, prévoyant chaque mouvement ennemi, le contrôlant et le forçant à faire des erreurs pour le briser. Cette partie ne fait partie d'aucun tournoi ou guerre de clan, mais je peux vous dire qu'elle fut plus qu'agréable à jouer et à gagner.Game 10427367 qui m'a eu en sortant très tôt et usant de ruse, il n'a pas empilé bêtement sur un général du début. On peut même voir ma réaction quand j'ai perdu la partie, je ne peux pas blâmer les dés, il a très bien joué! Je vous parlais que trop attendre réservait des surprises, sur une partie où j'étais 2e à jouer. Je suis sorti le premier et l'autre joueur s'est fait complètement réduire ses deux stocks! Il fut sous le choc, mais comme je disais plus tôt, 160 vs 165... TOUT peut arriver. Cela m'est arrivé plusieurs fois ce que je raconte, voici un exemple sur la partie Game 10272399 and Game 10156626 (celle-ci est assez drôle). Contre des joueurs qui ne savent pas jouer se genre de carte, il est bien d'attendre et les laisser se tirer dans le pied, mais contre des joueurs expérimentés il faudra user de ruse et d'une bonne stratégie pour l'emporter, bref avoir un plan à long terme de ce que vous voulez faire. Restez en contrôle.Game 10120366 en double à trois équipes fut très compétitive, dans les premières rondes ce fut une bataille constance pour chaque progression. En donnant pratiquement toutes mes troupes à [player]Mishalex[/player], il a pu prendre le bonus Valencia et le garder. Par la suite je fus un emmerdeur professionnel, enlevant coup sur coup les bonis à pratiquement tout le monde, profitant des troupes que [player]Mishalex[/player] me donnait. Elle fut difficile à gagné, mais encore là nous n'avions pas une stratégie de rester dans notre coin et grossir, nous voulions avoir notre territoire pour un bonus, mais dictez l'allure de la partie en enlevant systématiquement les bonus des autres. En leur enlevant, ils pensent plus à le reprendre, donc laisse notre bonus tranquille...

[player]Dukasaur[/player] Tournament Executive Meet the Tournament Organisers: Butters1919 by WorldCup4James show
In this interview, we meet briefly with [player]Butters1919[/player], who's known in the tournament community as an organized and efficient organiser. He's hosted a total of 23 competitions, 21 of which are part of his TKO (Triple Knock-Out) series . Only four months off the ground, the series is rapidly expanding, welcoming more CC maps as it grows. To date, the TKO series is the only triple-elimination series on the site. Accompanying his TO accolades are 9 tournament achievement medals and 3 general achievement medals.Keep an eye out for [player]Butters1919[/player]'s well-run tournaments. Your tournament stood out to me because it's triple-elimination. here . I started playing tournaments in the fall of last year and was quickly hooked. I played in a few double elimination tournaments that were fun! I was not aware of the DE bracket before playing. I was curious if there were higher order knock-out brackets and a quick search led me to that site.What do you think of the whole tournament atmosphere? Any other tourney ideas in the wraps?
Tournament Tips: by DaveH [spoiler=4-player games - playing 15 opponents once]At the time of writing this, chapcrap was continuing his many tournaments with (the rather unseasonal!) Chap's Christmas: Terminator Robin Style and Chap's Easter: Terminator Robin Style.
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=155760 and
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=155924#p3417398 Both follow the format of having 16 players with 4 players playing Terminator and everyone playing their 15 opponents only once. I tried a similar tournament of 4 player Assassin, each player playing their 15 opponents only once, and found that it was not at all easy to form unique groupings.
Groups of 3 are easy:
Round 1 ABC, DEF, GHI; Round 2 ADG, BEH, CFI; Round 3 AEI, BFG, CDH nd Round 4 CEG, BDI, AFH. This is easier to see if you have a matrix:
The grouping are across; down, diagonally right and diagonally left.
With groups of 4 the same method works - but not quite in the same way. I worked out that with 5 sets of 4 you would meet everyone once, but the combinations of players would not work. I eventually resorted to the web (thanks to mathtalk-ga!) and found that this is also a scheduling method used for golf foursomes and dinner parties!
You start with the 4 x 4 matrix and can start with two rounds across and down the matrix i.e.
That gives Round 1; ABCD, EFGH, IJKL and MNOP: Round 2; AEIM, BFJN, CGKO and DHLP.
But diagonals don't work, and you have to look at the following two symmetrical patterns:
This gives two of the remaining groups that A plays in: AFLO and AHKN. But what about the other three matches in these two groups?
This is the clever bit (that I would never have thought of!). You take the same pattern but start at the other three corners! i.e. MJHC and MLGB from the "M" corner; PKEB and PIFC from the "P" corner and DGIN and DEJO from the "D" corner.
The final four games (Round 5) are based around the following two patterns:
This gives AGJP and BHIO, and their vertical reflections of MKFD and CELN (which are the only other remaining possibilities anyway!).
Which leaves us with the possibility that Chapcrap is really the mathmatical genius "mathtalk-ga" and perhaps he even knows how to uniquely schedule 5 player matches?

Map Spotlight: King’s Court 2 by thehippo8 show
For me, playing different maps is exciting. There is a phase where you think to yourself: Oh dear what have I got myself into now? Then there’s the: Oh, that’s so obvious – why couldn’t I get that before? Finally, there’s the point of maturing where you are all about: So if I do this then he does that and I do this and then I’ve got ‘em! I have reached the second phase in King’s Court (the original version) where I only recently understood that you take an Archer and then deploy all on that Archer then take the next Archer and so on until you reach your opponent’s Castles and bombard them. From there you still need to go across country because you can’t shift the pieces from the Archers to the Castles. You need to take the Castles to get to the Nobles or the game will never end! let me run before I can walk – kind-a-guy, I want to deploy this understanding to other maps. Now that isn’t immediately available until - Tra-la-lah – along comes King’s Court 2 The map Ten starting positions instead of eight. More importantly, each starting position has a different environment and a player’s technique and plan needs to take that into account. This issue was address by a question by [player]tkr4lf[/player] when he queried: Most castles have 1 knight in an adjacent hex, but then you have HD castle with 2 knights in adjacent hexes and HF with no knights in adjacent hexes. What's the reasoning behind this?
Yes Tk, I wanted to make Castles have some differentiating characteristics between themselves - that could add some interesting playability on FOG games and players would need to adjust strategies depending on what Castles they'd start on.
The King it's not a neutral killer anymore. It can be held and will yield either a positive or a negative bonus depending on what the player holds. For instance, for each Counsellor you hold you will receive 2 extra troops as long as you do not own any castles. On the other hand, if you own a castle then you will lose 5 troops for each castle. There is a real disincentive in prematurely holding the King. This is a bit like holding the gas chamber or the cells in the hole without holding the warden in Supermax Prison Riot . New features have been added: Mines, Woods, Ports, Cathedrals and the College of Cardinals. The Ports , with their auto-deployment, are necessary, gameplay-wise, to connect the larger board in a balanced way. The Mines and Woods add realism and are themselves a way of gaining additional bonuses. The Cathedrals , also with auto-deployment, are balanced by the College of Cardinals and also further add to realism – importance of the religious institution to balance the King as in real life. As an added element of realism, the College of Cardinals can bombard (excommunicate) all Court members, including the Counsellors , Nobles and the King . Essentially a very powerful role which will have a crucial part in stopping another person from reaching their objective. An Admiral has been added to the Council. The Admiral can attack the Ports and provides balance to what could otherwise become an overwhelming position to hold. The roads now take part in game dynamics and are not just for graphical purposes like in the previous version. You can now link features for additional bonuses, such as the Mines and Woods to a castle. All non-important hexes, those without roads on them, will lose 2 armies per round to signify attrition (as in supply lines drying up). Rather than mindlessly trawling around the board, careful consideration will need to be had about what direction to travel and what protections to leave behind. Noble families now have a name instead of just letters making the lay-out more attractive. They're also represented on map by their unique coat-of-arms. This is an excellent innovation that will greatly assist comprehension for in-game play. I don’t know how many people would attempt this as a speed game but it would be crucial in that mode! But probably the most important innovation, is that the game can now be won by objective. Not an easy option, by any stretch of the imagination, as you will need to hold the King , 6 Castles , 6 Nobles and 6 Knights – but if one player is significantly ahead then it may be an easier route to concluding the game than taking over the whole board. HIPPO assessment (being modification of my old chart in a vain attempt at objectivity) to this map Heuristics – The variety of starting positions assist with creativity in the decision making process. Whilst on the one hand the strategic concepts learned in King’s Court 1 are directly applicable to this map, on the other hand they will be insufficient to win the day. The additions, already discussed, greatly add to the complexity of gameplay. Players will need to think very carefully in what they do and no one strategy could be considered right . There will need to be a careful consideration of what your opponent(s) are doing at all times. This might be a great team game as then more than one mind will be employed to help avoid dead wood thinking and missing important aspects of the game.Intrigue – Unlike simple maps, this map will always surprise. I can’t help but boggle at what fog would be like here, let alone adding nuclear spoils to the mix! There is the added interest in knowing when is the right time to take the King in objective chasing or the unpredictability in owning the College of Cardinals . I can only but marvel at the tension in multi-player games.Planning – I prefer 1 minute games with simple maps. Why? Because I’m too lazy to plan or think too much. This is a diversion after all. positional play versus tactical play. In fact both are always needed but good tactics will often trump poor positional understanding any day. This map provides a wealth of opportunity to have a big picture perspective. No mindless diversion this!Progression – As the game develops it will become clear whether the gameplay choices made from the beginning were right or wrong. But there is an additional element in this game, that of auto-deploys and extra bonuses. It may be possible to pull back an otherwise lost game. Another parallel from chess: a pawn may become a queen in an endgame. It is impressive the amount of consideration that [player]Kabanellas[/player] has put into balancing the game and as the game progresses that balance will prove to be crucial. This will still, however, be a game that will quickly separate those in the know to the pretenders to the throne!Overall – The efforts [player]Kabanellas[/player] has gone to in adding elements of realism will make this a classic map for the discerning mind. It’s the sort of map that people will be in awe of and anyone who gets good at will feel proud of the efforts they put in. But it is not a map to enter into lightly and if you can’t be bothered thinking and planning and preparing and angsting then you should probably steer clear. Not a map for everyone this, but a perennial favourite for others. Top marks [player]Kabanellas[/player], well done indeed!!

Well we have a couple of great match ups going on right now, and by the looks of it both will be nail biters to watch. All games are 45 game wars. Higher seed has 22 games, lower has 23 games.vs 6-11 GR leading. GR are looking strong going into their home set, but should only be up by a few games overall going into their home set. All the games going are are fairly close and could end up swinging in either direction. But it does look like it should be a good second half overall. I expect GR's home games to come out in about a week or so, then we will be able to see the outcome of this war very soon.vs 11-11 Tied. LHDD will have their home games out shortly and the fun should start up again. The way MD has been playing recently I expect them to be able to keep this close.
