CCC's placeholders and how to tell when he'll pop
I started camping this NM to get the Nadrs for BLU like a lot of people. The wiki had no information on him, so I went to Alla. There were a lot of conflicting reports about what the PHs are. Some people think that the Greater Pugils that pop in the ponds are also placeholders for CCC. I don't think this is true. The Clippers repop every 5 hours of game time. Both times I have killed him so far I've noticed something odd. Before CCC popped, the placeholder would take 6 hours of game time to pop. Once that PH died, CCC popped 5 game hours later. I think this may be the source of a misconception about the pugils being placeholders. Chances are, players are killing the Clippers before the pugils. They then see the next PH spawn about 5 hours after the pugil died so they assume that the pugil is the PH, not realizing adjusted pop times are often indicators of NMs preparing to pop. That may or may not be right, but I'm sure about the 6hr respawn being an indicator that CCC is coming. --Techno 18:23, 17 December 2006 (EST)
