The Clan Department is excited to bring you our latest development for the Clan World! Each Report contains a variety of insightful and informative pieces designed to keep you well informed of the goings on within the Clan World. We strive to provide easy access to up to date information, stats, rankings, interviews and much more!

In This Edition
This month we provide clans with an archive, and explain some of the tools that they can utilize towards organizing their forum area. We also hear from [player]Lindax[/player] one of our newest Clan Directors in the third of six interrogations to get to know your Clan Directors, we announce the winner of the Claniversity House Logo & Signature Design Contest, discuss upcoming contests, and as always provide you with the newest F400 Clan Rankings! INCLUDING a major F400 contest for prizes!

This area will be where we highlight any changes within the Clan World, announce new features, or make other assorted announcements and opportunities.

Clan Archive Sub-forum
Early in March, a popular request from clans that was promised some time ago was fulfilled this month! Every active clan should have a new archive sub-forum that their clans moderator (or clan leader, in a few cases) can utilize to help organize clans forum areas. If your clan needs a moderator for their forum who can edit posts, thread titles, or now move the threads to the archive please contact [player]IcePack[/player] who will make the appropriate arrangements with the Admins.

A quick lesson / guide on the tools for the moderators / clan leaders on the moderating tools:
[spoiler=The Tools and What They Do]Beneath every topic within the forum you moderate, there is a dropdown menu the moderator has access to. The following is a list of tools that you may have at your disposal:

  1. Lock
  2. Delete
  3. Move
  4. Merge Posts
  5. Merge Topic
  6. Change to "Sticky"

  1. Locking a topic prevents any future editing or posting by members without moderation privileges in the forum that the locked topic resides in.
  2. Deleting a topic would erase the topic entirely. Anything that is deleted can not be recovered.
  3. Moving a topic removes the topic from one forum and places it another. You may choose to leave a shadow topic in the old forum if need be.
  4. Merging posts in a topic removes them from the current topic, and puts them into another topic.
  5. Merging Topics will combine two topics. The topics will be reordered on the timestamp of the individual posts, so if two topics are ongoing simultaneously when being merged, the posts within them will be shuffled around.
  6. Stickies are topics that appear on top of all other topics.

    All of the features described are accessible via the Quick-Mod drop down menu shown here:

CLAN LEAGUE VII
CL7: Quick Link
This edition of the Clan League also has some changes to the format. The most important one is the implementation of promotion/relegation between the two divisions. We have a Premier Division with 12 clans and a Second Division with 14 clans.

For the Premier Division the final round has started. The battle for first place seems to be between FALL, LHDD and TOFU, but nothing is decided yet! Check out some of the newest discussion here!

The Second Division still has 2 rounds to play after the current round 11, so anything can still happen here. At the moment TOP, ATN and PACK seem the main contenders for the title.

Below you’ll see the latest results from the first 9 rounds and the standings after round 8 and round 9, respectively.
*Not all round 7, 8 and 9 matches have been decided.

We had three submissions for our most recent Logo and Signature Design Contest! We would like to congratulate [player]rizky_biznezz[/player] on winning the contest!

Interrogation Room

Post by IcePack »

Image
Each issue the Clan Department plans to highlight a clan (based on current events, clan wars, or public demand) and a player by interviewing clan leaders and players! We will announce who is to be interviewed here, and you can post all your questions in this thread to be answered in the next issue! We will provide some information on the highlighted clans such as recent or historical achievements, as well as linking readers to their Clan Page so past history, recruitment, and member details will be easily accessible. You'll get the opportunity to ask the Clan's members or leadership any questions, and get to know the group as a whole on a deeper level while the Clans that are highlighted will enjoy some additional exposure and get a chance to introduce themselves to the Clan World in a new, unique way that is difficult to replicate in a recruitment thread.

Clan Highlight
Next month we will be hearing from TNC! Tune in next month for an exciting interview with one of CC's most active clans!

Player(s) Highlight
This month the Clan Department is pleased to bring you a special interview taken with one of our very own Clan Directors, [player]Lindax[/player]! This will be the third of a six part interview series where we introduce ourselves to the Clan World. As the only Clan Director not in a clan, [player]Lindax[/player] provides unique opinions and insights to our group while providing a neutral voice to our discussions.
If there's someone else you think would be a fun and interesting interviewee for the Clan World, please post below and let us know! We'd love to hear from you! (Please note, not all questions will get answered depending on personal comfort with sharing personal information, etc) Thanks and have fun!

There are many maps I don't like and many more I don't know or use. I couldn't pick just one.
Q: If you could only keep 5 maps on CC, which would you pick and why?
Feudal War, because I'm pretty good on it. The other 4 would be any standard map with 42 territories, to play 7 player escalating on.

Oh man, too many things to mention. First thing I would do is whatever it takes to get multi-player escalating speed games going again.

Sometimes, but only when I'm busy in real life, so I can't spend the time on it that I would like.
Q: What is the best part of being a site volunteer? Clan volunteer?
I just love anything that has to do with tournaments, which is my main focus as a volunteer.
Q: Do you feel the Clan Area of CC is living up to its potential?
Probably not, but what ever does?
Q: If you could choose one clan to fight, which would you pick and why?
I'm not in a clan, so I don't know. Probably a clan that's not much better or worse than my clan?

Having a successful CC6 finish within a year. Get more clan tournaments going.
Q: Overall, how do you feel the Clan Area went in 2015?
Pretty well. I think we achieved some good things. Came up with some good, new ideas.
Q: Now, for some closing questions. Well…, I apologize ahead of time. If you were a pokemon, which pokemon would you be?

Q: Can blind people see their dreams?
Why don't you ask them?
Q: If you could challenge another member of the Clan Director Team to a fist fight solely based on your impression of them on the site, who would you pick and why?
Keefie, obviously. He disagrees with me a bit too often.
Q: Would you rather suck on your mom’s nipple or your dad’s?
No comment. They're both dead.

Good point. From now on I will not take a dump anymore.

Nope.

But given the view numbers so far, I'd think about doing the thing where you stick it to top of all Clan forums for a period of time.

I didn't "announce it" (headline it) until today. A global announcement isn't in the cards after some people can't keep themselves from ruining other people's work by editing it

I can take a look tonight when I get home. My last month entries are:

ATN FAD 9 7 03/05/16
ATN KNT 10 6 03/14/16
ATN PACK 8 8 03/15/16
ATN VVV 11 5 03/27/16

My guess is just not enough performance vs the lower ranks.
Could have been some additional decay, I'd have to see the calcs @ home though

Yeah I figured as much. Does a clan's weight affect their decay? That would make sense, as we're not very heavy.

Newer completed wars factor more into the score than old wars. The weight number reflects how much activity / games, so decay is reflected / noticed in the weight but isn't directly factored in any ranking calc from weight score.

I know it doesn't make much sense worded that way I'm tired. But TLDR: decay isn't affected by weight score. But it is reflective of the decay

Also, when you get high enough you can lose points by winning by less than the expected margin. We regularly lose points that way and have for years. If we played a clan with a 800 score in a 50 game war we'd probably have to win 40-10 to stay even. Welcome to that world.

Yeah, it definitely is harder to stay up in the standings once you get "up there".

Congrats to FAD for being the only ones who completed the F400 Contest. Their prize will be issued the next time F400 is updated.

Thank you Keefie. It was a priviledge to start our journey against HH. This is a good start but we aim for the TOP :D

To reach the TOP you have to head for a FALL ;)

As TOP didn't join CC6, not likely we will see them anytime soon.
They still have a long way to go, so far their biggest win is TNC.

It's more likely we would see them first in CL8 if they participate after the promotion / relegation takes place.

I wouldn't presume you will hold number one until CL8 begins. :D I have no illusions that getting to the CC6 Finals will be easy for anyone. If you get to the finals against someone other than us, that should hold the number one ranking regardless of outcome. If its a repeat of last year's final, you'll have to win again to retain #1, I think.

Yeah I didn't mean to imply we would hold it that long. My point was we wouldn't meet anytime soon, and then CL8 would probably be the first time we met. Not that we would continue to hold it.

There are plenty of things that can happen to knock us out before then.

No S&M in the F41? I would have thought their wins in CC5 would have provided enough weight to keep them in there.

They completed 3 wars in 2015. March, June, and Sept. Each for 60 games (+/-)
March & June were wins, Sept a loss (to TOFU). Thats 183 weight total for the year. Add in decay to wars that are almost year old now, and they don't hold the weight.

If you remind me I'll check over the weekend to see exactly where they are at weight wise for F41.
