I know your accomplishment is absolutely worthy of like 10000 of those special "services to the CC community medals" or whatever, but I think HA should get 10001

agreed. I was after just the personal challenge.
HA played at a higher level.

Haha only kidding. HA, hats off to you. To maintain those crossed swords after that amount of games is crazy. You got my respect.
Cheers, JB

I'm just surprised you're still slogging through this. When taking turns becomes a chore, I would lose interest really fast. Major props for following through.

You and AoN have made more turns in the past week, than i would make in 7 lifetimes...
I'm not at all surprised that you're ready to be done with it all...
for now...

Wow-this thread made it back to the top. I will tell you this--if you go for it have at least ten days of 16-20 hours available. Myself, AoN, and heatz all tried to do this--all of us missed turns so it negated the validity of the accomplishment. I dropped to srgt. while both of them dropped to cook during the stretch of playing the games. My drop was brief and I actually played most of my games at Major, but when you take a break for a few hours you get crushed in points when the games start winding down. Good luck if you go for it--try and not miss any turns and keep your rank up to make it a higher accomplishment than any of us. It will drive you insane and you will regret trying it--I do promise that--both AoN and heatz did not believe me until they were well into the games, but they soon found out the agony of doing this.

Surely there is a better way to do this. Did you do all 1v1 games or did you have a lot of team games?

He did all 1 vs 1 games but i would think that a bunch of large player games would make it much easier to have 1000+ though it would take longer

That is correct-most all of the games were 1v1 so they turned over fast--I know I got to a point where I had to sleep for two hours while setting an alarm to wake me to take turns and I did that for a few days. Team and multi player games might make it easier but they would be hard to fill.

your game count can get up really quick if you join public team games by inviting people and join any large player game that is almost full...trust me i made that mistake in the past.

If getting games to fill were no issue, I think Doodle Earth Quads would be ideal for this.
They end quickly, so you're not playing forever. What would make it great is that you also have the advantage of 8 players... your turns won't come up as often.
Of course, this is completely unfeasible; there's no way you could have enough active at one time to make a difference.

I can't imagine the undertaking involved. Even with large multiplayer games...
