In This Edition
Welcome to the second ever Platoon Report! We hope you'll continue to join us and share with your clans as we strive to provide easy access to up to date information, stats, rankings, interviews and much much more!

This month we've added some vital clan stats, we discuss the two types of clan mergers, breakdown which CD to contact for what, look for some tournament assistants, discuss TO medals, get to know the Fallen CC5 Winners, hear from Keefie one of the Clan Directors in our first ever interview, let you in on a new upcoming contest, get you involved to pick April's next Clan Interrogation to highlight, and as always provide the newest F400 Clan Rankings (and more)!

Wish You Had More Access?
Feedback is always welcome, whether by posting below or contacting your CDF representative, or by posting in the"Ask a CD Thread" we are always here and dedicated to helping you. You can also PM myself or take a look in the Mess Hall below where we breakdown which CD to Contact for what!
Not enough? You can add Clan Team Leader IcePack on Skype for real time questions & answers. He's available 8am-10pm Pacific Standard Time on most days. Username "uneek03".

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

uckuki is looking for an assistant!
uckuki has volunteered to run the Traditional 1vs1 Clan Challenge Event and a new 1vs1 Poly Event! Now he is looking for someone to assist him to help these events run smoothly.
Generally this would go into sign ups in March or April, start in May(ish) and run until complete (generally 4-8 months depending on # of sign ups and any scheduled breaks).
To volunteer to help assist this Tournament, please contact uckuki directly. A organizer medal will be issued to anyone who successfully helps completes the Event as an Organizer. Organizer assistants should be active, responsible, fair and patient, and be good at taking direction and finally scheduling will be decided once his plans are underway.

Welcome to the Clan Tournaments Area, where you will find updates on all the Sanctioned Tournaments within Conquer Clubs Clan Area! Lindax is our Clan Tournament Director who brings you this update!

Tournament Organizer (TO) Medals
By Lindax

Clans: As you may have noticed the Clan Tournament Department introduced a medal for people running a clan tournament as a token of appreciation. The medal was awarded retrospectively, to everybody who ever ran a clan tournament. We don’t have a clan contribution medal, so the medal awarded is the General Contribution Medal.

Would you like to earn one of those medals? All you need to do is organize and successfully complete a clan tournament. We’d like to see more clan tournaments, especially when they are a bit different and original. Here you will find useful info about organizing a clan tournament: Hosting a Clan Tournament

show: TO medal rules

If you would like to organize a clan tournament, please contact the Clan Tournament Director, Lindax. Don’t be afraid to be creative, we can allow more than you probably think!

show: TO medal recipients


Tribes: If you successfully host a Tribe Tournament you will receive the same prizes/awards as the players of the winning Tribe! Those may include Tribe Medals, CC Credits and Conquer Stars. Contact Lindax if you would like to organize a Tribe Tournament.

CONQUEROR'S CUP VI
CC6: Quick Link
The most prestigious clan event of the year! The tournament started early January and the first round is in full swing. Although there are several games finished in the various wars, it's too early to tell you how things are going. The bracket is posted below.

CC6 Prediction Challenge - 2,400 Credits Prize!

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 participating.

We're playing round 7 right now, round 8 is due Sunday, February 7. TOP, ATN and PACK are leading the Second Division, but TOP and PACK have a match to complete yet. In the Premier Division FALL and LHDD are leading the way, with S&M, TOFU and FOED contending for the 3rd position at the moment (after round 5).

Below you’ll see the latest results from the first 6 rounds and the standings after round 5 (not all matches and games have finished though).

RANDOM LEAGUE VI
RL VI: Quick Link
Random League started in September 2015 and is organized by uckuki. The Tournament includes 17 Clans competing until mid-April for 12 game mini-matches of random maps. Clans select home teams and settings.

Rounds 1-7 are all completed, except for 2 active games. Round 8 is fully active, and 9 nearly so. Reminders have been sent to all participants. Round 10 is about to get underway.

Tribes Summary:
Tribes: Stand Together. Fight Alone.
Information Provided by Lindax

We started 3 auto tournaments for Primitive Tribes, so far the “Conquerians” won 2 of those. New tournaments for Primitive Tribes now appear under the tournament tab and are no longer published in the Tribes forum. This way they are easier to find and join.

We also started 4 auto tournaments for Advanced Tribes and Clans. One is still ongoing, one was won by TNC, one by FALL, and TOFU recently won "Tribal Skirmish". There will be a new Poly tournament released soon!

INAUGURATION TOURNAMENT: TRIBES GO RANDOM!
[TGR] Quick Link
This tournament consists of a combination of 1v1 and Poly auto tournaments and team games. We started with the group phase in November and the Poly games are still ongoing. The team games are almost completed, unfortunately not in time for a scores update this Platoon Report.

We have 12 participating tribes, including the first Advanced Tribe: “By-Tor and the Snow Dogs” [BYT]. Below the list of participants.

Clan Tournament Historical Records
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.

Image

Clan Highlight
Next month the Clan Department will be interviewing the Fraternal Order of Exceptional Drinkers! Pour yourself a drink and post any questions for the recent winners of the 4th Annual Traditional 1vs1 Event!

Ask questions of their leaders, members, or just questions in general you'd like to hear the groups thoughts on! Please be sure to state whether you're asking someone specific, the leadership, a member, or the clan as a whole! Have fun and be creative! Is there life out there? First 5 people to post in the thread saying "yes to life" and asking FOED a question for the interrogation will earn 50 credits simply for posting.

The April Clan to be highlighted will be selected by you, our readers! There is a post on Conquer Clubs Facebook page asking for feedback from you which clan you'd like to hear from! The clan with the most posts by February 29th will get highlighted in the April issue!
Find out more HERE.

This month the Clan Department sat down with the Fallen to get to know a little about them, their history, reactions to winning the CCup 5 and more! Check it out below!

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, Keefie! This will be the first of a six part interview series where we introduce ourselves to the Clan World. 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!

Lick Us and Win Challenge! Contact IcePack for more details!
Did you know Conquer Club has a Facebook page? We'd love for you to "like" the page and participate in the new upcoming contest. Find it here: https://www.facebook.com/ConquerClub/
Look for a fun new game coming out this month, called the "Lick Us and Win Challenge"; as presented by the Clan Department! Watch Conquer Club's Facebook Page for some basic clan trivia. The first to answer the question will be provided an opportunity to play a Clan Director of their choice on the CD's Home Map and Settings, for a chance to win one of two hidden prizes! Each time a player beats the CD, they reveal whether or not they are the one with the hidden prize. After a prize is won, we will start all over again and repeat the game! Watch for a thread announcing the game providing all the details and rules on how to play!
(Note: You'll need to be a member of a clan or tribe to participate)

As you may have noticed the Clan Tournament Department introduced a medal for people running a clan tournament ... We don’t have a clan contribution medal, so the medal awarded is the General Contribution Medal.


I introduced a new species ... I dont have a new species, so I had a human child !!

Is lackattack and his once-a-decade coding back?
