No one is an expert on them yet. This levels the playing field more.


I never got a PM with the games. I am the "Champion" from Agents of the Chaotic Empire

I refused entry to the agents because they entered into this late and all other champions had been informed about the game layout at that point. I did speak to Leehar about it and he was close to the cut off point, but after 2 weeks of sign ups!!!

I will be unable to allow the champion of your clan to partake in this challenge. But challenges two and three, I see no problem with your clan joining in. Sorry about challenge one, but two and three still gives you a shot at the big prize of your clans name on the map.

To bad the champions name depends on those small drop/dice luck based maps...

This is one of the reasons you are playing 5 games and not one. Hopefully you can all overcome small things like luck and dice. :D

Champions, you now have 24 hours from this PM to join games. At the end of the 24 hours, you will be excluded from joining any games and they will be counted as a loss for you and your clan.

Could I possibly step in and play for my clan if someone doesn't join there games? Since the games are already created it would just need to be sent my way.

This is just a thought so we don't have to delete the games, and I think most people would prefer to play the games rather than let them sit.

If you would rather not then that is fine with me. You also would only need to give me 12 hours to join all the games rather than the 48.

Resource, expanding and no bonus should all change their votes as there is a two horse race!

Winner is:

gilligan and enders got the British soldiers wrong. gilligan included Scheiss but missed out one of the Jones. enders thought it was a typo and named all men that won the VC.

Christian Ferdinand Schiess was a Swiss recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces and a corporal in the Natal Native Contingent, South African Forces during the Zulu War.

Since Resource style is overpowered by Classic gameplay and Classic with key, I switched my vote to the key one. Otherwise my vote would go nowhere :)
