Hello CC,http://tinyurl.com/k9rsf43 . Vote for your top 3 tourneys, each one getting a point with your vote and your favorite getting two points!Top 12 Tourneys getting votes will advance to a bracket, there will be byes and we will vote on 1v1 matchups until we get down to the top 4 tournaments. We will determine a ranking among them, and the top 3 on the list will be held again or a shorter version! Hopefully we can get the original owners to cooperate and run them, but if not me and the tourney team will run them. Points can be earned for the Top Tourney Competition in each of the tournaments, with the top 10 finishers all gaining points (10 for a win, 9 for 2nd, 8 for 3rd and so on). If a team tourney is chosen, the top 4 teams will gain points (10 points for each member for 1st, 7 for 2nd, 5 for 3rd, 3 for 4th). GA Medal and be crowned the Top Tourneys champ. So until August 25th submit your tourneys and have them enter the bracket.Points to Consider: 1. You may not nominate your own tournament

[player]JamesKer1[/player] continues his dynamic tenure in the Suggestions department and brings us some current suggestions to think about.
For the first time ever, the Mess Hall features a recipe! Just think, we've eaten here for 122 previous issues, and until now nobody actually brought any food! Thank you [player]BoganGod[/player]!
Suggestions Features- Early September by JamesKer1 show
A few weeks ago we featured the first community discussion. We are happy to announce that the discussion has come to a close and is currently pending Submission!Color Addition to Major Swords (2014) - This suggestion is pretty straightforward, and compliments well with recent submitted suggestions about ranks. What should be changed about those pesky swords to differentiate between Premium and Freemium?Polymorphic Doubles (2014) - This suggestion is a unique addition to a previously submitted suggestion following the release of polymorphic games. This suggestion features a "double doubles" 8-player game, with the opportunity to expand beyond that to a "double triples" as well!

This continues to be a very popular contest!
Guess the Map -- Round 4 by dakky21 show
. Last round we gave you a surprise and there will be more coming! In this fourth installment, the difficulty goes HIGHER than ever before! 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.

DoomYoshi announced the
Monthly Challenge for September show
DoomYoshi wrote: Official Monthly Challenge for September 2014 Brought to you by [player]DoomYoshi[/player] and the Community Team CLICK HERE TO JOIN Flat Rate - Freestyle GAMES CLICK HERE TO JOIN Nuclear - Sequential GAMES This challenge was inspired by, and heavily plagiarized from, Mike Beninghof's article which can be found here . When the Nazis came to power in 1933, they found that the Reichsmarine had an expansion program already quietly under way. However, the proposed fleet lacked aircraft carriers. Engineer Wilhelm Hadeler, the 36-year-old wunderkind of German naval architects, was tapped to draft a ship to fill this need, and he responded with a plan for a 22,000-ton ship carrying 50 planes. She would carry eight 8-inch guns in casemate mounts set rather low on the hull, later replaced by double mounts with 5.9-inch guns. While Hadeler’s design was somewhat backward in its heavy armament, he foresaw later developments by including a substantial anti-aircraft armament: 10 4.1-inch anti-aircraft guns (Germany did not produce a dual-purpose naval gun until very late in the war) and dozens of small-caliber automatic weapons.
Unfortunately, construction of the
Peter Straßer stopped in September 1939, due to the Germans allocating resources to some minor conflict in Poland. Yes, that's right... this marks the 75th anniversary of WWII. More importantly, it marks 75 years of not-a-ship.
The Graf Zeppelin was also never complete, and was used as a storage dump for stolen furniture, as well as a barge after it was captured by the Russians.
