CC Dispatch [Issue 114] Moving Along
Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2014 3:30 pm
Welcome to the 114th edition of the CC Dispatch!..
This has definitely been a month of new programs. Some of the highlights:
DoomYoshi's Monthly Challenge series has gone through the next step in its evolution. If you participate in this month's Southern Eclipse Challenge, you'll find it's the first one with automated scoring. It's hard to believe that only 14 months have gone by since Doom launched the idea as a completely unofficial and unauthorized initiative. Now, it is one of the core events on the site.
On March 25th, Dhallmeyer announced the newest SoC Academy initiative, the new Guide Program. As Dhallmeyer explains, "the purpose of these games is to familiarize new players with the site and help them get started. We're looking for people with a heart for helping, 1v1 prowess not required."
On the night of April 9th - 10th, the server was down for 2 hours while some essential work was done on the CC database. A lot of it is administrative stuff that isn't very interesting to write about, but some of it had to do with reconfiguring the database to help increase speed and reduce lag, which I know will please many people!
Sempaispellcheck, former head of the Entertainment Department and now the newest Tournament Director, is launching a new program. It's big, it's ambitious, it's more than just a tournament, and if anyone can carry it off it will be sempai.
