[01-Jan-2008] Conquer Club's Second Birthday

Post by AndyDufresne »

Ahoy Ahoy Conquer Club Members,


I hope you are all doing well on this first day of 2008 and enjoyed New Year's Eve. As many of you may know, Conquer Club's birthday is tomorrow...January 2nd. We'd like you all to come celebrate Year # 2 with us! We've got some activities planned throughout the day for all to enjoy.

Lackattack and the ModSquad will be starting MINI-SPEED Battle Royales one after another until 12 AM EST
(Midnight).

The Maps and Settings will vary, so be up for anything! Though keep a watchful eye out for perhaps a few random games to pop up!

Non-Premium members...these special SPEED games will be FREE to participate in, so enjoy!



The sign up process for Speed Battle Royale's will be as follows:

  • A Mod will post an announcement in the General Discussion forum.
  • This announcement will either have a simple trivia question about CC or instructions to go to LIVE CHAT.
  • To JOIN a game you need to find out the PASSWORD, and the password is the answer to the simple CC trivia question.



We all hope you enjoy the New Year and Conquer Club's Second Birthday Anniversary, on January 2nd! Thanks for a great two years, and many more to come!


--The Whole Conquer Club Team

Without further ado...

================

A Conquer Club Year in Review

And as 2007 finally comes to an end
Let us all look back and descend
Into our most recent history,
Let us delve further into every monthly memory.

January brought our very first birthday
And the dreaded news of update delay.
And the ModSquad gained a bright new member
In AK_Iceman, surely a mod to remember.
We broke the year’s very first user online record,
536—yowza, what growing forum board!

February brought the long awaited Christmas update,
A beefy server upgrade added a little performance weight,
Just in time for the shadow Assassin
To eliminate their target for a victory win.
And in the Off Topics forum mafia games rose to power
Just as Jolly Roger finished Battle Royale II’s final hour.

March brought Lackattack’s news that Conquer Club would be a fulltime job,
Though in case it all didn’t work, he probably plotted a few places to rob.
The infamous and wild character of dugcarr1 said goodbye,
Just as WidowMakers finished his first map idea from his near endless supply.
And again the Off Topics forum exploded once more,
Max is gr8 started it all with the “Get to know a CC’er” thread-war.

April brought the Swedish Chef’s noo munegimeet,
And quite a chaos as we all tried to dance to the new foreign language’s beat,
At least we all now didn’t have to scroll the game log to Count our Cards.
Later Keyogi joined the Foundry team to keep high map standards,
And we finally scrapped Gabbly Chat, good riddance to bad rubbish,
Just as simtom quested to achieve his zero point wish.

May brought the deliciously delightful Two Player game
And with our new ranks, Gibbom was crowned first Conqueror with much acclaim.
Spamalot in the Off Topics forum departed for a brief time
And after a public campaign it was restored to its prime.
Reverend_kyle hit 10,000 posts and more,
And finally Conquer Club debuted its official store.

June brought a whole new style of World Domination play,
Resources and transportation, DiM’s Age of Merchants, what else can I say?
The user online record was broke once again,
1202 strong, could we continue to grow and maintain?
And what do you know, one the year’s popular phrases was just catching on,
“Lock’er Down!” Oye vey, look at what it spawned!

July brought the fulltime addition King Achilles
To help out and join the hunt for crooked multis.
The long saga of Qwert’s Eastern Front map in the Foundry came to conclusion,
Thus making it available for mass play distribution.
And Steelhorse turned his tournament passion into official Director obsession,
As Geoster pulled on our hearts…and legs in the General Discussion.

August brought Ajax, Colorblind Settings, and Speed Games, oh my!
Whatever we wanted Lack could seemingly supply.
The insanely popular Doodle Earth map made by Evil DIMwit
Became renowned as a map for Assassin play, what a hit!
And once again, another popular phrase gained fame
Autoload’s “this thread is huge,” could not be tamed.

September brought a month of World Domination,
Or at least, said our MPOGD voting fixation,
Couple free Speed Games for those all who participated.
And Clapper011 and Bedub1 took Chat’s reins and were initiated.
Two multi hunters, Fireside Poet and Master Bush, said arrivaderci,
Cairnswk and Coleman joined the Foundry team as aloha’d Keyogi.

October brought the Fog of War, AK_Iceman’s departure, and the return of Twill,
Over 1 million games played, what an intense thrill!
Optimus Prime took Hugh.G.Rection’s Tournament Director position,
As the 19th Annual Risk Championship perhaps began a new Conquer Club tradition,
Official usergroups and clans were back,
Just as Fircoal added over 15,000 posts to his stack.

November brought the ModSquad additions of Jennifermarie and Steelhorse,
As MarVal and Wacicha joined our growing force.
Cairnswk departed from the Foundry as Ajax performance became a key issue,
Many members protested the Canada map REVAMP with a yell and a tissue.
Krusher came to site wide attention with his debacle, snafu, fiasco,
But despite it all, the user online record topped 1401, have we hit a plateau?

December brought Eight Player games and a second server,
And to enhance Lack’s economic stability and life preserver,
Premium Membership became 25 U.S. dollars.
James Vazquez and Rebelman became Chat mod regulars,
Just as a record tying ten maps reached completion.
As for the recent Login Bug, let’s just forget, erase from the mind, deletion.

And as 2007 finally comes to a final end,
What a year of highs and lows and trends.
And as for 2008, what will it have in store?
I don’t know, but I think we can all agree on more, more, more!

No, that's actually about 15 hours, isn't it? 12am is midnight, I believe. So for you that's 6am-9pm.

It's a minimum of 15 speed BR games ;)

There are going to be some scoreboard shakeups tomorrow...and some new longest-speed-game records me thinks.

Pee first, bring snacks!

Have fun tomorrow guys!
