Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

Guys I have a couple of concerns about our presence in this game that I feel need to be addressed if we are to keep this a main game. Mainly centred around the fact that there are quite a few of us who have the game, but not a lot of action. And I don't want to have to keep turning down clan war requests because we're not able to live up to the Shadow Stars honour of only every attacking an enemy with out absolute best out of respect for their skill.

Firstly we are not getting a good enough turnout to tournaments, you're all here because you want to play The Conduit, and if we didn't host tournaments that'd be the first thing you'd all complain about (as it has been in the past) so why do we keep getting too few people together to compete in them? The first step to holding successful tournaments that everyone wants to compete in is to actually attend those tournaments, so next week lets try to get a good enough turnout for the tournament.

Secondly I don't see enough action coming from the Gamebattles teams. The reason we have so many teams is because then the people within the teams can get to know each other and each others play-styles and develop tactics together, so that when they go up against an entire clan, even though the clan has more people to choose from, they won't be as well bonded together and will have not shared as much battlefield action with the other 5 than 6 people who exclusively compete together would, giving you the advantage because you would be a more well oiled machine. That however can only work if the teams practice together, I've made it so they can post practice sessions on the calendar for the rest of their team to meet up, so lets see much more practising, much more team tactics and more activity from teams, and lets see some of our teams dominating the Gamebattles ladder.

I'm saying this now because I feel that if we don't start with the hustle and bustle then we're very quickly gonna be left behind skill wise by other clans and gb teams. This is a competition, we need to be competitive and we need to start 3 weeks ago! So who's with me?

I'm up. I'm here for anything you need. And yes, I agree we haven't pulled together yet for The Conduit.

I've tried to contribute by making the FC list as readable as possible, and I will try even further by trying to organize and participate in more play sessions. It's just that some of the ppl that join up for the conduit seem to disappear after 3 days and the gamesbattles teams are really un-organized (at least the one I'm supposed to be in is) Is it possible to have a clan-wide organization day where we all just get are act together at the same time?

That is a great idea, and I will put one on the calendar right now, so that we can all meet and discuss the things that need to be done. No Avatar

It's weird, in the singles conduit tournament, we had 2 people, which wasn't enough. In the doubles, we had 5 people, which wasn't enough. If we had had a singles tournament instead, it would have been enough people...

I'm aware of that, basically during a week when we have two tournaments for one game (3 games 4 tournament days, so thats once every 3 weeks) we will have two tournaments with different rules just to make things interesting, so for example in brawl we'll normally have a singles tournament, but on a week where we have 2, we'll have a singles and a doubles tournament. For the conduit, doubles tournaments are held every week and free-for-all tournaments every 3 weeks, I now see that was a mistake though as free-for-all tournaments require less people to make them work, and so should be the regular rule-set instead of the special rule-set, so if there are no oppositions I will be swapping them around.

Also guys what date for the "big meet-up" is good for you?

It's more efficient that way, but I always liked team battles better. I guess once more conduit players show up, we can have more doubles.

what is involved in this clan wide organisation day thingy?

Is it that all conduit players gather one day at a specific time and talk about what needs to be done? Cos thats brilliant.

Now when shall we do that? Keep in mind the europeans too

I think it encompasses even more issues we need to address, but that's definitely one of them. And by looking at the calender, it seems the only free days we'll have are Mondays through Wednesdays. Plus we'll need time to actually announce it, so sometime in the first 2 weeks of August looks appropriate.
