Only if Norman updates Wunderwaffe in the mean time.

imho you should lead with the clan link and the sponsorship message instead of burying it near the bottom

also i think someone's already tried wunderwaffing the 1v1 ladder - Nex / Realtor / Forbidden Knowledge, iirc.

I would be interested in some news on new clans, e. g. I just discovered Danger Close exists and is quite active and I know nothing about them

T7 soldier left Celtica to found Danger Close last clan discount, seems a few players followed, he is really active so hopefully that community will flourish.

oh hey its highlighted now!

Interesting, thanks Stefano

What's the difference between a "written podcast" and a blog?

Thanks everyone for your support. It is great that the thread got highlighted!

I understand, that the revolutionary format of text podcast might be not that easy to grasp at first, but I promise that if you follow it, you will get a better understanding ;)

# Episode 2: Exodus from Celtica

What we know about Celtica?
- I estimate the significant downfall in Celtica's activity happened in 2023. Late 2023 I contacted Celtica with an offer about merging Clan League teams as they were one the clans, who had decent activity in Clan League 16, but they did not sign up for the upcoming Clan League 17. The negotiations (well at least they responded) didnt end with anything good.
- If my sources are right, then in early 2024 t7soldier was promoted to the managers of Celtica. Dont know exact reasons though.
- Some people, who later ended in the newly created clans, left Celtica before the the Clan sale of April 2024.
- In total it is just 5 people left, which is not really significant considering Celtica's total headcount.
- During the clan sale, 2 new clans were created by former Celtica members: Starfleet Commamd (yes, with a typo; now basically dead) and Danger Close

Danger Close

As of now Danger Close had managed to get some reasonable success recruiting a lot of high level active players, who had not been related to Celtica previously, and getting close to the coin zone of Clan Wars.

The success mostly comes from sole t7soldier's activity:
- he alone made more than 4kk points in last month
- he managed to get top-1 in the most recent coin leaderboard with 44k coins
- he continues his tournament organizing activity
- probably it is he who is sponsoring the CW activity in the clan (yep, they pay coins for CW wins)

How many coins do they pay for CW wins and where did you get this information? :0

clan page, 10 coins/win, 100 coins for most wins. I see a greedy altto and Warltus in there.

I would like to add that T7 soldier is one of the people who is attached to Metal Gear 4.5, another user in it for the long haul. They have been 2 v 2 partners for a long time, they offer unique games on rarely played maps under the open games tab, they also promote said templates in tournaments.

Metal Gear 4.5 is also the owner of a big clan network as well. After founding his eponymous clan, he transferred most of the active CW people to the uncapped After Dark clan, but then he also purchased more clans under the discount (Knights of After Dark among them). Both T7 and MG 4.5 have amassed a lot of coins between them as a result.

- if this thread get highlighted, instead of one coin, everyone will get 5 coins! Yay, go smash that "Like" button!

bump

Ok it seems 5S is stalling giving out coins to the first 13 players as long as there are 7 more participants who will be eligable to win 5 coins each if they post something meaningful here.

So all attention here!

Trying is the first step to failure.

There meaning.

Not trying is failure.

Coinzzzz

This is cool to see, can't wait for more great content!
Also I agree that an episode format (dealing with one issue/news item at a time) is a more sustainable and less stressful format than the monthly newsletter - great idea!

Yep, I agree.
When doing it topic by topic rather than month by month tho, care must be taken to now let the thread get locked during periods of lower activity.

Thanks to everyone, who commented and liked :D

Since there are still 14 commenters, I decided to force stop the waiting period and make the extra coins from the missing commenters redistributed to the 14 ones:
