Conquer Club

NC4 Thread: viewtopic.php?f=441&t=190046

As always this Cup's purpose is to establish new and lower ranked clans,
give them a chance to win something and gather valuable experience
as a base for further growth and rise in ranks.

It is not as strict as other competitions as we have to cherish
any new blood coming into clan world and give them a chance
to understand and learn how to be an effective clan.

Bear that in mind.

Thanks to Benga for doing an awesome job running the Newcomers Cup in the past , hopefully I can somewhat fill his shoes!!!

Well RA participated in the first Newcomers Cup. However, the clan has changed so much since them, and we are really like a brand new clan. 3/4 of our members left to form WAR, and now we have pretty much a brand new squad.

So RA is in and I will be the primary contact.

LHDD is up for the challenge. We were the finalist in the NC2, but we are rank below 21....

QuikSilver is the contact

VVV is in with mint-murray as the contact

LOL working on it

Damn...you were faster then Atlantis!
But please tell me why they need us to join?
If i'm right the competition will be fierce, if my knowledge about the clans is up-to-date...

With this reply i announce that 'Atlantis' will be participating in the Cup.
Genoke is the contact.

Magnificent bastards are in, contact is me or ponyandtrap

HH are in (again)

Why on earth do we need 6 weeks for sign ups ? It does seem overly long.

Retribution is in and I'll be the contact person - cheers !

Any possibility of permitting trench rather than excluding it?

A straight "yes" or "no" will do without a 20 page debate about it.

New clan in, called TheCrown's Storm. I am the only one in the clan.

I would rather have 20 pages of debate

If both clans agree to allow trench then that is fine with me, I have updated the op!
