Welcome Comrades to the 75th edition of the Dispatch This is our Diamond or Platinum Jubilee Issue, depending on whose rules you apply!
Apparantly Victor's escape from the hippo's basement was short-lived. The hippo's henchmen recaptured Victor within days and so far we have not been able to discover his new place of internment. We did receive a coded message, something about Father Guido Sarducci and Linda. Our best cryptographers are on the case; we should have further updates as the weeks roll on.
On a more serious note, [player]Viceroy63[/player] has decided to part ways with us. I would like to thank Viceroy for the work he did here. Although he wasn't with us for a long time, his work output during that time was enormous. The first Executive of the newly-launched Strategy section, he faced the daunting task of creating something where there had previously been nothing. Viceroy wrote articles both in quantity and of quality, and he will certainly be missed.
[player]DoomYoshi[/player] now steps up to the plate and will attempt to keep the Strategy section rolling along. Please join me in wishing DoomYoshi the best of luck in this task!
In this issue, we feature the Interrogation of Safariguy5, and an issue chock-full of other articles. Down in the Platoon report, [player]QuickSilver[/player] again produces our only bilingual column. Every now and then I have a look at it and challenge myself by trying to read the French version. In Cartography, [player]Koontz1973[/player] proves his dedication to CC by interupting his vacation and posting an article anyway. The OSS features Viceroy63's last article. In War Games, DaveH continues his demonstration of how to almost completely automate the running of a tournament.
In CC news, Whac-a-Mod is almost done, with only a handful of games still in progress. For those who are impatient to see an (interim) score, check out:Whac-A-Mod V: Returning For More [Whac-An-Admin!]
The big eye-opener for forum watchers is [player]Mr Changsha[/player]'s thread in GD, Why CC's Membership is (actually) Declining. For those of us who have long struggled with finding an explanation for CC's decline, this is, I think, the most plausible and coherent theory put forward thus far, and deserves some consideration.
Several departments are seeking help, including Freestyle, Tournaments, and Strategy. If you have a knack for writing, this is a great chance to do what you love and help the CC community at the same time!

Hope the dog days of summer are not too sizzling readers. I get an interview this issue and we have another Scum Insider. Time to kick back on the porch with a cold one.
[spoiler=Interrogation of safariguy5]Q. Dear safari, why does the newsletter only interview their department's mods lately?
Well we decided to interview the newsletter execs to promote our new Strategy Section. Also, it's been on our to do list for awhile.
Q. Do you think that Pirlo or agentcom would make good interviews?
They probably would. If anyone has any good suggestions for interview candidates, please PM me. Of course, the person has to accept the interview for it to actually happen.
Q. If you were a Pokemon, what Pokemon would you be?
Definitely Squirtle. Specifically this one:
Q. If you were a Teletubbie, which Teletubbie would you be?
None of them, I would be the baby in the sun. Teletubbies live and die, but the sun is forever.
Q. If you were a Muppet, which Muppet would you be?
Animal. It must be great to not give a flying f*ck what other people think of you.
Q. Are you a man or are you a Muppet?
Depends if someone has their arm jammed up my butt. I'd hope I would be a man most of the time though.
Q. If you are a man, would you consider yourself a Muppet of a man? If you are a Muppet, would you consider yourself a really manly Muppet?
Probably not a muppet of a man. To the best of my knowledge, my skin color is way too ordinary to be a muppet. It's hard to get more manly than wearing leather vests and a spiked collar if I was a muppet.
Q. If you could eliminate the existance of one thing (large or small) in the world, not just destroy it but completely edit reality so that one thing didn't exist and had never existed, what would it be?
I'm going to avoid the popular answer of Hitler and go with mosquitoes. They serve no beneficial role to man and they constantly annoy the heck out of me. When I go to a tropical environment with my family, for some reason, I always get bit the most. It's like I have ambrosia running through my veins or something.
Q. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest - how much do you cringe when Sully
a) asks you a questions? b) mods a mafia game? c) plays in a mafia game? d) gets a power role in a mafia? e) gets the godfather role in a mafia game?
a) Depends what kind of question. If it's a math question, I mutter silently under my breath. Probably a 6. 4 for any other type of question. b) 8. For some reason, Sully made these really weird roles in one game and made me the rolecop. I had no idea what any of the things meant so I was basically useless the entire game. If you're going to make unique roles Sully, being a rolecop is very unhelpful. c) 3. Not too bad, because worst comes to worse, always suggest lynching Sully on Day 1. That means I get to live at least one more day. d) 4. Also partially dependent on which power role he gets. I'd hope he'd make a semi competent doctor but I would absolutely cringe if he got vig. He'd probably kill more townies than mafia over the course of the game. e) 1. Nonissue, as Sully will usually make some scummy statement and get himself killed. Easy for town to deal with it.
Q. What's the story behind your username?
My dad works for Apple, so I've been raised on Mac's my entire life. The safari is a nod the the Apple Internet program Safari. Guy is there because plain Safari is taken in AIM (the original reason to get a username). And the 5 is a holdover from my very first username on the Lego Forums. Nostalgia and whatnot.
Q. What do you enjoy most about writing for the newsletter?
I really enjoy interviewing people. There are some people with very funny wit and humor on CC and I often laugh at their responses to some ridiculous questions. I do think that BPB members tend to have very funny responses, as well as some of the more humor inclined posters.
Q. Do you still enjoy playing games on this site? If the answer is "yes" would you also say you're hard to bore? (I'm doing a bit of research into the matter)
In all seriousness, I probably derive more pleasure from playing Mafia games than playing CC games at this point. But to answer the question, I think that I definitely do derive pleasure from playing games on this site. I used to worry about rank and dice and a bunch of other things, but after awhile, I realized that those things are secondary to just enjoying the game. Dice will sometimes hurt, sometimes help, and rank and points are not as important as some people think they are. Just take a laid back approach to the game and you'll never be bored.
In that same vein, I would definitely agree that I'm pretty hard to bore. I will listen to just about any music except country and I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to judging movies. Some good action will make up for a lot of flaws in a movie, so if a movie entertains me, I'll probably consider it ok.
Q. If you could be the best in the world at any martial art, which one would pick?
Kung Fu because of my Chinese heritage and the fact that it's one of the disciplines that doesn't emphasize throws. Those can really mess up your back over time, and I'd like to be able to practice my martial art when I'm older.
Q. (pocket mole) or (mole vole)?
I'm a sucker for those cute little whiskers on the pocket mole. I also really enjoyed "The Wind in the Willows" when I was a kid so pocket mole on the way.
Q. Pocket trumpet or full size?
Pocket for sure. My brother plays the trombone and has dabbled in the trumpet. For the sake of my ears, I'm going to go with the option of less noise.
Q. Pocket billiards or on the table?
Definitely the full size table. I want to get one when I'm older and have the space, it's a great way to knock back a few brews with some friends.
Q. Pocket pistol or pocket rocket?
Gonna have to go with the pocket rockets. I enjoy to play poker, and a pocket pistol isn't very accurate at distance anyways. Who knows how far that cheating bastard of a dealer has gotten to by the time you get your pistol out?
Q. In someone's pocket or pick pocket?
If the pocket belongs to Eva Mendes, then absolutely. The things I would let her do to me...
Q. Hole in your pocket or full pockets?
Full. Hopefully with lots of money.
Q. (Pocket motorbike) or (pocket beagle)?
I love dogs. I'll go with the beagle. I want to adopt one from a shelter when I get a house and settle down. Landlords tend to get pretty touchy about pets in my area unfortunately.
Q. Pocket knife or sabre?
I'll take the sabre. Never bring a knife to a sword fight!
Q. Pocket watch or watch the clock?
Nothing says "Sophistication" better than a pocket knife, top hat, monocle, cane, and silk handkerchief. GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR!
Q. Hands in your pocket or hands-on?
Hands on. Especially if it's on a hot girl. Or Eva Mendes.
Q. Pocket on your sleeve or heart on your sleeve?
Pocket on my sleeve. Being emotional can sometimes land you in trouble/cause you to make bad decisions.
Q. Pocket money or pocket fluff?
I'll take the money thanks.
Q. (read) or (watch)?
I used to read comics when I was a kid. I read the No Man's Land arc for Batman, the Dark Phoenix Saga for X-Men, and a bit of the alternate histories for various comics. I'm not a fan of all the meddling the writers have done recently in a lot of the storylines. Peter no longer married to Mary Jane, Captain America dying and then coming back, Ditto with Batman, mutants getting depowered...I suppose after all this time, it's tough to come up with new ideas, but that's what reboots are for. Don't mess with the canon please comic writers.
Q. Tell us something interesting about the area where you live.
Berkeley is probably one of the few places in the world where "professional protester" is an actual job. If there's a cause, I guarantee people will protest for it. I once walked down one of the main streets and saw about 15 people in full furry costumes protesting. I think it was something about animal cruelty, but I have no idea why the costumes were necessary. Personally, I think they would have been better off trying to get yiffing legalized, but that's just me. Reason doesn't always mix with reality around here.
Q. f you've got an unexpected afternoon off and you don't feel like being indoors, where do you go and what do you do?
If I was able to, I'd grab a surfboard and hit some waves. I'm pretty sure I was a surfer in a past life, because although I picked up surfing late, it didn't take me very long to learn it and I absolutely love doing it. There's something peaceful and calming being out there in the water and riding a wave is one of the most relaxing and fun things I can think of.
Q. Do you personally recommend any sort of College-monogrammed beverage container with a special ability to keep a beer cold?
Why yes. If you beat me at Fantasy Football (as Nam did), I will send you a double lined mug with the UC Berkeley logo on it. Stick it in your freezer and you'll always have a cold mug.
Q. Is there ANYTHING you don't know about Fantasy Football?
I can't forecast injuries sadly enough. I love fantasy sports (Football, Basketball, and Baseball) and my college roommate freshman year got me into it. I remember I drafted in 2007, and I took Tom Brady in the Second Round and Randy Moss in the Fourth Round. That was the year they both set single season records in TD's and I won that league going away. I've been hooked ever since.
Q. Last, but not least, do you like cookies?
Yes. Especially if they're "magic" cookies.
Q. Does the Pope shit in the woods?
Yes, and his shit can speak 4 languages fluently.
Q. And if the Pope shits in the woods, and there's no one around, can you still smell it?
Depends on how much Mozzarella he had on his morning omelet.
Q. Safariguy5, what happened to the other 4 safari guys?
I defeated them in a vicious knife fight in a Los Angeles back alley. There can only be one!
Q. What's your favorite beverage of choice? Favorite mixed drink? Favorite draft beer?
I love Jager Bombs. White Russians and Screwdrivers tend to be my cocktails of choice. Pyramid makes some of the best beers I've ever had. And they're based in Berkeley.
Q. How many times have you woken up in an unfamiliar room, stripped naked, with a supermodel sleeping beside you, and have no idea what country you're in?
Twice. Both Hangover movies were partially based on parties I've been to.
Q. What would be your dream birthday bash?
Probably rent out a nightclub and just having high priced alcohol flowing all night. Always wanted to see what it's like to live like a celebrity.
Q. Birkenstocks or Tevas?
Tevas. I've had the same pair for like 10 years. They're very durable shoes.
Q. Is it true that you scored a 3150 on the SAT?
Nope, just a 2340. Damn you Writing section!
Q. How many countries have you visited?
Canada, Mexico, Uruguay, Taiwan, Japan, England, France, Switzerland, Italy. I still haven't been to Spain and Australia.
Q. How entertaining is the Entertainment staff?
Quite entertaining. You should see the shenanigans we get up to on Two Keg Tuesdays. Although we need some more estrogen since squishy left.
Q. Who's your dream quads team? [player]Master Fenrir[/player], [player]danryan[/player], [player]L M S[/player], and myself. If I didn't include myself, probably [player]Deli[/player] as the fourth. All solid players whom I've had the pleasure of playing with.
Q. What are your favorite team and solo settings?
For team settings, escalating, sunny, chained tends to be the way to go. Solo is a bit more no spoils, foggy, chained.
Q. Favorite map?
San Francisco. Not a pretty map, but it's cool to be able to identify all of the regions on a map.
Q. If you had a week and an unlimited budget, what would be your dream vacation?
I'd like to go take a nice vacation in Hawaii. Sun, surf and seafood all day every day.
Q. Why does the FOED forum smell like a guy's locker room? Is it me (macbone), saf? Do my feet smell that bad? Or is it the fish I warmed up in the microwave? It's the fish, isn't it?
Probably all the goats Duke has sacrificed to the dice gods. He really needs to clean up the altar when he's done.
Q. What's the thing you like most about hosting mafia games?
I enjoy reading the posts the players make because I know which theories are right and which ones are wrong. Sometimes (and I know it's a bit morbid) I really like the long arguments two people can get into when both of them are wrong. On the flip side, I like it when someone eventually suggests a correct explanation for a night scene or recent actions because it tells me that I haven't made my scenes too difficult to decipher.
Q. What did you spend your $50 Amazon gift card from CC Cup 2 on? (and don't say Asian hookers, [player]Master Fenrir[/player] will call you out in a second, he knows they aren't that cheap!)
Sadly, I spent 30 bucks ordering a textbook I needed for a class. The other 20 I haven't used yet, but maybe I'll find something fun to make up for the "responsible" purchase I made.
Q. IF you were wandering through the woods in your new sandals and you stepped in a pile of Pope shit, what resources from the woods would you use to "clean up"?
The hide of a wolverine. Friend to all living creatures I am.
Q. As awesome as Cali can be, why haven't you visited Wyoming? Are you afraid of the Mailmen that work there?
Since I'm not quite out of school yet, I haven't been able to swing up to Wyoming. Once I get a job and save some money, I'll try to take some vacations to see some CC friends of mine (assuming they'll have me, I know some people prefer to remain anonymous). But the real truth is that Dick Cheney scares me. After he got his ventricular assist device, the man literally has no pulse. Give him 20 years and zombie Dick Cheney with a 12 gauge will terrorize the lands.
Q. Finally, what is your middle name? (I already know this answer, so be creative)
Crazy Ivan of course. Named after the sub maneuver in Hunt for the Red October. Given to me by a Russian girl I once dated who was quite impressed by my "flexibility".
The truth is that my middle name is Winston. Named after Churchill who I am also a fan of.
Q. Who is your daddy and what does he do?
P-Will is my daddy and he has a double major in kicking ass and taking names.
Q. Can You say immediately how much is 234*345?
Yes. My head Asplode.
Q. Can you play 5 minute games here?
Since I'm premium, yes. This also seems like the appropriate time to say that I'm looking for freestyle writers, so PM me if you're interested in writing for the newsletter.
Q. Why FOED?
Good friends, good drink, good fun.
Q. Why Entertainment?
The first mod team willing to give me a shot.
Q. Why do you keep drinking all my (macbone) beer and never once, ONCE, offer to buy me any?
Damn it, I knew the mailman was drinking the six packs I keep airmailing over.
Q. Why do all those nice ladies in Wan Chai always ask me (macbone) if I like what I see?
You either gotta work out more or work out less. Not sure at this point.
Q. Why do they accept Amazon gift certificates now?
King A held a gun to their head, and Lack assured them that either their brains or their signature was going to be on the agreement.
Q. Which part of "no" don't you understand?
The "o". I kept wondering why you were saying there weren't any 0's left.
Q.
crazymilkshake5 wrote:If you were a pokemon, what pokemon would you be?
If you were a repeat question, what repeat question would you be?
A/S/L
Q. wolfpack0530. favorite teammate, or greatest teammate ever?
Favorite. Never a dull game chat with wolfie in tow.
Q. Does it annoy you that so many white guys are into asian women, and does it annoy you that they like me (wolfpack0530) in return?
I'll never understand it. Why do Asian women like ugly white guys?
Q. 2v1 attacks: what situations do you use them, if ever?
If I really need a card, or for the elimination.
Q. As a long time member, which now inactive player do you miss the most?
I miss Hops. He always had these crazy tournament ideas that would take ages to finish. I think the 1 year tournament length rule was created mainly because of him.
Q. How many n'sync songs are on your phone or ipod right now?
None, I'm a Backstreet Boys type.
Q. If given one million dollars, exactly how much of it would you immediately spend on various drugs? hookers? gambling? supin up your honda civic?
As the great Bender said, "I'm gonna have my own party. With Blackjack! And Hookers! In fact, screw the Blackjack!
Q. What is the biggest scum tell you tend to make when playing Mafia?
Usually when I vote a scummy person . Trying to get the scouting report eh IB?
Q. What do you think could be done to generate more interest in Mafia?
The honest answer probably is that we offer more premium prizes and medals. That's the currency to motivate new players. However, I don't think this is realistic and may attract the wrong types of players to mafia.
Q. Is America in decline?
I would say that economically, we probably are. With the rise of the global economy and increasing industrialization, the American workforce is being squeezed for foreign labor and innovation. However, America is still a very important diplomatic and political force in the worldwide community.
Q. To lynch or not to lynch Sully? Discuss in a 2 page essay. Citations and references required.
The answer is always to lynch. The only question is when.
Q. Kill/Pull/Marry - MNDuke, tdans and wolfpack. Discuss. No pictures. (Please)
Kill tdans on the off chance he's a terminator. Pull Duke so he stops having bad dice, and marry wolfy to give the asian males a better shot at asian women. I'm always willing to take one for the team.
Q. If you would be a FOED leader, why would you kick Hippie in the face, seal of the clan and start a nuclear program for kil... peaceful purposes?
I definitely need to be made ruler of something. These warheads aimed at the server farm are just for self defense purposes.[/spoiler]
Welcome to the 75 edition of the Strategy Section of the Newsletter.
In this issue there is only one article and that is because My heart is no longer one with the Newsletter Team. For personal reasons I have decided not to write for the Newsletter any longer as it stands today. After 11 short editions and 26 written and posted articles in the Newsletter, some of them while teaming up with others and one of them written by some one else; This will be my last article in the Newsletter.
Thank you all for reading me. It was truly, a pleasure!
[player]Viceroy63[/player] Ex. Strategy Executive and Reporter
Classic Secrets: The North America Problemby Viceroy63
Hello again my friends, and welcome to your favorite part of the Newsletter, "War Games", where you can find information about CC Tournaments!
We have another excellent article by [player]DaveH[/player] in his Tournament Tips series, while [player]WorldCup4James[/player] again gives you coverage of the hot new tournaments in signups with Join This? Or Not!
[player]Dukasaur[/player] Tournament Executive
Tournament Tipsby DaveH [spoiler=Excel coding to set up a tournament - Part 1]In the last newsletter I gave the code for creating a new menu. This created an additional menu called "My Macros" with three headings under it to run "My Macro No's 1 to 3". In this article we will start to define the coding you need to set up a template that you can use for managing a tournament.
Initially we will extend the code we had in the last newsletter to define the code needed to put a new menu bar into the Excel spreadsheet menu bar. This will have a "Number of Players" selection so that you can select 8, 16, 32 or 64 players. You can then select "Type" which will be singles or doubles, and then a "Create a Template" selection to create a new spreadsheet set out ready for you to fill in and start your tournament!
_____________
In this article we have the coding for a routine called "CreateMenu" which you can run to insert the new menu heading. The macros that can be called from the menu will be defined in future articles (explanations to the coding are included in the lines of code);
Sub CreateMenu() Dim cMenu1 As CommandBarControl 'Dimension as a command bar control Dim cbcCutomMenu As CommandBarControl Dim cbMainMenuBar As CommandBar 'Dimension as a command bar Dim iHelpMenu As Integer
Dim PlayerNumber As Integer Dim GameType As String
PlayerNumber = 16 GameType = "Singles"
'Delete the existing "Tournament" menu heading On Error Resume Next 'In case it does not exist! Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("Tournament").Delete On Error GoTo 0
'Set a CommandBar variable to Worksheet menu bar Set cbMainMenuBar = Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar")
'Return the Index number of the Help menu. We can then use 'this to place a custom menu before. iHelpMenu = cbMainMenuBar.Controls("Help").Index
'Add a Control to the "Worksheet Menu Bar" before Help. 'Set a CommandBarControl variable to it Set cbcCutomMenu = cbMainMenuBar.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup, before:=iHelpMenu)
'Give the control our caption as "Tournament" 'The ampersand is before the underligned shortcut letter cbcCutomMenu.Caption = "Tourna&ment"
'Add the first menu item that will lead off to another menu 'Set a CommandBarControl variable to it With cbcCutomMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup) ' Give the control a caption .Caption = "Number of Players"
'Working with our new Control, add a sub control and 'give it a Caption and tell it which macro to run (OnAction). With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) .Caption = "8" '.OnAction = "Players8" 'not yet defined If PlayerNumber = 8 Then 'Tick if 8 players .State = msoButtonDown Else .State = msoButtonUp End If End With
' Repeat for the 16, 32 and 64 player menu headings With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) .Caption = "16" '.OnAction = "Players16" 'not yet defined If PlayerNumber = 16 Then 'Tick if 16 players .State = msoButtonDown Else .State = msoButtonUp End If End With
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) .Caption = "32" '.OnAction = "Players32" 'not yet defined If PlayerNumber = 32 Then 'Tick if 32 players .State = msoButtonDown Else .State = msoButtonUp End If End With
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) .Caption = "64" '.OnAction = "Players64" 'not yet defined If PlayerNumber = 64 Then 'Tick if 64 players .State = msoButtonDown Else .State = msoButtonUp End If End With
End With
'Add the second menu item that will lead off to another menu 'Set a CommandBarControl variable to it
With cbcCutomMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlPopup) ' Give the control a caption .Caption = "Game Type"
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) .Caption = "Singles" '.OnAction = "PlayersSingles" 'not yet defined If GameType = "Singles" Then 'Tick if 64 players .State = msoButtonDown Else .State = msoButtonUp End If End With
With .Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) .Caption = "Doubles" '.OnAction = "PlayersDoubles" 'not yet defined If GameType = "Doubles" Then 'Tick if 64 players .State = msoButtonDown Else .State = msoButtonUp End If End With
End With
With cbcCutomMenu.Controls.Add(Type:=msoControlButton) ' Give the control a caption .Caption = "Create Template" ' .OnAction = "FormatCode" 'not yet defined .FaceId = 625 'assigns an icon to the dropdown
End With
End Sub
Sub DeleteMenu() ' Use this if you get more than one "Tournament" menu item! On Error Resume Next Application.CommandBars("Worksheet Menu Bar").Controls("Tournament").Delete On Error GoTo 0 End Sub
A few notes on the above code:
* The second subroutine "DeleteMenu" can be used to delete the "Tournament" menu heading should you be experimenting with the code and get more than one heading; * The "If, Else, End If" loops are to put the tick selection next to the correct submenu item; * The icon was chosen looking at a full set of icons listed on the following site: http://www.outlookexchange.com/articles/toddwalker/BuiltInOLKIcons.asp:
The instructions for copying this set of codes into Excel are copied from the last article as follows:
* Open Excel to create a new spreadsheet; * Press Alt+F11 from Excel which opens the Visual Basic Editor window; * In the top left pane you get "VBAProject (Book1)"; * Open the menu and sub-menu by clicking the [+] buttons; * Click "ThisWorkbook" to open a new window on the right; * Copy the above code and paste into the blank window; * To run the code either select Run from the menu or press F5
In the next article we will look at the macros used to change the "ticked" selections.
(These "tips" are ones that I have tried to make it a bit easier in managing my own tournaments. I am sure there are different and better methods than these, so please let me know. Any queries on the above I'll be glad to respond to! Please note that I use Excel 2003, so there may be variation in the menu instructions if you have Excel 2007)[/spoiler] Join This?

[player]Koontz1973[/player] is having a well earned rest, or a sneaky getaway or maybe I am telling the truth in the News section? Well, you'll have to put up with me for this issue and probably the next to give you my take on the News and the Maps in Development articles. And for my sins I've run out of time to do another article but you've got a great article from Flapcake called Voices from The Bin to entertain you all.
Now I was having a wee think to myself. You are all obviously enjoying the newsletter and the Cartographic Surveillance articles in particular. But it's time for you to do something for me. It's winter where I am and I need cheering up. Why don't you send me a quick PM to tell me what your thoughts are on the Cartographic Surveillance articles? I'd like to know what you want to hear about or are you just happy with the eclectic range of stuff heading your way each fortnight? Whatever your thoughts, I'd like to hear them!
And a few words from Robert Orben:
Every speaker has a mouth; An arrangement rather neat. Sometimes it's filled with wisdom. Sometimes it's filled with feet.
STOP PRESS: [player]Koontz1973[/player] is in a holding patern pending his sojourn and has cracked in a last minute report. An opportunity for us all to get our thinking caps on! Check out his article - Food for Thought Very aptly named!
We have a cracker section up this week as both Skill and Quik live up to their names to give a double dose of news on the latest action on the Clan Scene. We start off with a brief run-through of the results from the first round of Conquer Cup 3, then move onto Final action in Newcomers Cup 2, and a very informative look at the Clans involved in NC3!
We then present our feature article for this month for non-clan members to learn about the pro's and cons to joining a clan, before wrapping up with our (no longer exclusive) Clan Rankings as the baton passes onto [player]IcePack[/player] after this July update!
