You're missing a "newgrp conquest" or a fresh login here.

No, it runs here well as a user, but look here:

19:05 zhenech at chiisai ~ % id             
uid=1000(zhenech) gid=1000(zhenech) groups=20(dialout),24(cdrom),29
(audio),30(dip),40(src),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),104(nvram),108
(powerdev),110(scanner),113(fuse),117(conquest),1000(zhenech)

19:05 zhenech at chiisai ~ % conqoper -I e -E
conqoper: setgid(): failed

19:06 zhenech at chiisai ! ~ % newgrp conquest

19:06 zhenech at chiisai ~ % id              
uid=1000(zhenech) gid=117(conquest) groups=20(dialout),24(cdrom),29
(audio),30(dip),40(src),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),104(nvram),108
(powerdev),110(scanner),113(fuse),117(conquest),1000(zhenech)

19:06 zhenech at chiisai ~ % conqoper -I e -E
Initialized everything.

Does that work for you too?
