Official Passport Challenge: Year in Review 2014
Brought to you by the Community Team
NO SIGN-UPS REQUIRED - Everyone is eligible!
Please read this entire post before asking any questions!
From a community events perspective, this year has been a powerhouse. Automation has really opened the floodgates. This December's challenge is a look back at what was new in 2014. We had the monthly challenges boom (and bust); many large-scale site-wide events; still new game features and UI.
I choose to look back on 2014 not as the year the decline continued. Rather, I look back at it as the year CC turned a new leaf.
The Challenge
We're giving everyone on CC a (virtual) passport, and we challenge each of you to get as many stamps as you possibly can.
How do you get stamps, you ask?
By doing a variety of things but mostly winning games.
Nota Bene: If more than one game condition is met, 1 random stamp is assigned from the possible stamps
Bot games and tournament games are not allowed

Notes
- Games must start between CC Time: 2014-12-02 00:00:00 and CC Time: 2015-01-01 00:00:00 to be considered for the Challenge.
- Each stamp will only be counted ONCE per player. i.e. you can have 100 stamp01s, but the score for that stamp will still only be 1.
- If a team game meets the criteria for any stamp, each member of the winning team will receive that stamp.
- Data from all games that have finished by Jan. 1 will be collected on Jan. 1. After that, games will no longer count.
- Stamps not awarded from games may have some delay, as they are handed out by TeamCC volunteers.
- Prizes will be awarded in the first week of January.
- Any issues will be solved by me, [player]DoomYoshi[/player] and my word is final.
**Autotournaments which start in December will give stamps as part of the prizing.
Community tournaments which start in December will be given stamps.
