Conquer Club

And now for something completely different...

Got a question you've always wanted to pose to the Conquer Club administration? Well here is the place to ask it. In the next edition we have a special interrogation of the heads of Conquer Club about the workings of this website. A fun selection of the ten best questions asked will be answered in issue 29 of CC Dispatch so start coming up with ideas!

Has Andy ever abused his authority by wanting bananas instead of points awarded for wins?

What is the turnover generated by CC?
How much merchandise has actually been sold?

I am sure we'd all love to know how much money is made off this site.

Cheers, JB

Would lack ever consider hiring a programmer to assist? I know it was planned at one time (look at announcements) but I don't think anything ever came of it. I bet there are a number of people on the site who would be willing to pony up for additional medals, game options, bug fixes, etc. There are a number of great suggestions made that seem to go nowhere. I know this is lack's baby, but I think the majority of players would like to see more enhancements and an additional programmer seems like the fastest way to get that to happen.

Where did my 12 pack go I had in the Age of Realms? It was there 4 months ago when I left, and now it's gone.

Why do you always fix the dice gen to Screw me in the worst possible crucial moment? Oh yea, I know the long run stats will look legit, but why did you have to epic fail me that one roll that cost me the Tourny game? HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF DECENCY SIR!

How many hours/week do the administrators work? What is their compensation?

What do you anticipate will have become of CC a decade from now?

Rocket.

Keep the questions coming, this might be as close as you ever get to an interview with lackattack, though the whole administration team will be involved in the answering process.

How is Twill doing? Are he and Wicked happily married yet?

In your humble opinion, what is the 2nd best site to play Risk on the Internet?

Is it true that Conquer Club was invented at McGill University in 2006?

prolly inappropriate to ask what admin are being paid??

What does JoshyBoy have to do to become a mod?

Will lackattack add the Hall of Fame to the site by years end?

Will lackattack create more medals this year?

Will lackattack add 5 vs 5 games this year?

Will there be an XML update this year?

What was the thought process behind creating this site? Why RISK(ish type game)? Why not War-nopoly, or Extreme Scabble?

I once lost 87 armies to zero on a single auto-attack during a Classic map freestyle speed game. Has anyone ever experienced worse luck in a single attack or am I the record holder?

Where do you see ConquerClub in 12 months?

That's absolutely insane.

The number of rolls needed for that to happen has about 40 digits. Absolutely ridiculous.

Was making this site a pet project that turned into a job?

Has CC fallen short to, met, or succeeded your goals and expectations since first being open?

Natty beat me to it...

How about, "Will there ever be an xml update ever?"

What do you think about some of the upstarts from CC defectors, like e_i_pi and 4mygod?

Ridiculously bad luck, I agree, yet verified by the CC admin. I still have the email to prove it.
40 digits is no big deal, I've got 20 on my hands and feet now. If I grow 4 more feet, I'll have all 40
