Greetings!
The clan area is set to celebrate a big milestone next year, 10 Years!
2007 marked the first "official" year that results were tracked for clans / clan wars.
2017 will mark 10 years that clans have been battling for supremacy.
Whether you started last week, or 10 years ago and one of the original clan voices, I would love to hear from you!
Please, if you are in touch with some "old clan mates" who no longer frequent the site, please consider sharing this with them.
We would love to hear from some of the older members of the clan scene and hear about some of the "good ol' days", as well
as current events and they may not see this announcement in the forums. If you have access to them via Skype, email, text messaging,
telegram, morse code, smoke signals - whatever method you have - I ask that you please kindly consider sharing so we can really
have a good response and turn out for this event. The more that participate, the better this will make it for everyone whos ever
been a clan fan to enjoy.
In order for entry into this contest, you must write a short story, or piece, or even just a paragraph (depending on the story)
about something that stands out to you about your "clan life". This is extremely open ended, you can write about some
war way back in the day that you think of fondly, some very contenious moment and how you and your fellow mates reacted,
some good or bad experience with another clan, something to do with a past or present clan director, ANYTHING.
It can be a story, a memory, a paragraph, a poem, a video, a meme, you name it, I'll take it. Nostalgic or current, we are interested in it.
As long as its clan related, and you think it might be an interesting read, please consider writing something.
Articles may or may not get published in the Platoon Report throughout 2017.
Rules
1. All official entries must be submitted via PM to IcePack
2. All official entries must be clan related, though the scope is very broad so unless you are writing about mcdonalds, your entry will probably count. (Unless its a funny story about how you were doing clan games at mcdonalds and something funny happened, then its ok).
3. All entries must be submitted by Dec 23rd, 2016 @ 23:59 CCT
4. By submitting an entry, you give IcePack & the Clan Department authorization to republish in full or in part in the Quarterly Platoon Reports, or be quoted in the future as a teaser on Conquer Club's Facebook Page, etc.
5. Prior to any edits or cropping of stories etc and publishing, IcePack / the Clan Department will contact you for permission to edit the stories whether it be for readability, length, etc. Without your permission, it will be used as submitted (unless a funny line or two is used as a teaser, of course).
Prizes
1. Prizes will grow based on number of entries to this contest (that meet the eligibility criteria)
2. The winner, regardless of number of entries is guarenteed at least 3,500 Credits
3. I, IcePack, will try my very best to set aside sufficient credits to personnally ensure that every person who submits an official entry will receive some credits as a prize. If we have overwhelming turn out, instead of lowering the prize I will try to spread payment of prizes to a "as published" schedule in lieu of all being awarded at one time, if necessary. But every effort will be made to thank those who participate in this.
4. Minimum Prize for an eligible entry will be 100 credits, though I will strive to provide more.
5. The main prize for everyone, will be getting to enjoy some memories of stories we all share in the platoon reports throughout all of 2017.
Thanks for taking the time to read, thanks in advance for participating, and special thanks to everyone who chooses to share this with friends or past clan mates who may or may not still be around in order to really get some great participation and entries into this for all of us to enjoy.
Cheers,
IcePack & the Clan Department
All I can think of when I read this competition is "Oh God, anti-KoRT drama."
