Yep! It was the first one I got, about a week ago. For some reason I looked at my inventory and thought, "hmmm, what's this stamp thingy?", that's what got me interested :)


I was getting worried that this stamp wasn't working. Now someone has one I'm getting really worried - 10 days gone and no random stamp :shock:

On the start a game page, on the right is a link that says start a bot game. Click on that, check the boxes for which bots you want, select the map (limited choices), and you're off!

What stamp does require to play a bot game?

Also, I can't find any Auto tournament will accept me....most requires high point or special token such as blue star or misc Great War tokens...Any thought?

New auto tournies are created all the time. I would check daily until you find one that suits you.

Anyone got any ideas how to increase my chances of a random stamp. I assume it could come any time as a gift from the gods? Also from joining/winning games. But these can't be tournament games? So I keep joining regular non-tournament games and keep hoping or can anyone think of a better plan?

Running out of challenges now :roll: I'm assuming Sunday night we will be getting newsletter and the remaining blank stamp challenges?

Trying to get that Christmas Map stamp? Even though the map has not opened up yet for the season, there are 2 pages of games awaiting players. Just select the map in the game finder and take your chance at getting that stamp.

Yoshi, Is it possible to get the random stamp through sacrifice to CC gods? You say it drops on place of the electric green during games...

Or through opening a random box of Electric green stars and get as a reward 1 Electric Green star (automatically converted to stamp32)?

I find it hard to believe that top 2 stamp players in this moment (grt and mookiemcgee) after joining and winning so many non-tournament games over last 10 days, still did not get the random chance stamp which has extremely common appearance as described by Electric Green Star.

I have tried enough random boxes and Sacrifice to CC Gods to conclude the random stamp is not possible through these ways. Also, I am guessing it is not possible through one of the stamp challenges so can't use Beta maps, speed games, maps from previous monthly challenges etc (as I have won many on these already). I'm now trying to win on several non-listed stamp maps to see if I can get one that way. It would be good to get confirmation of exactly what maps/settings will allow the Random stamp.

It was so long ago, it's hard to remember , but I'm pretty sure mine was just given to me when I logged in one day, you know how you seem to get a star every day? It says "conquer gods" as the reason underneath it.
It's true how you don't value things as much when they come easy - I didn't really pay it much attention. If only I could win at that Polish game....

I think I know what is going on with the random chance stamp.

After Dec-02, there is no public game started nor won which has awarded ANY star (not only Electric Green) making it clear evidence that inventory stars system for joining/winning games is not working properly at this time.

The only thing what one can get upon joining/winning games after Dec-02 is nothing, or a stamp, but not a star.

Thus, no one can get stamp32 (represented by Electric Green star) by joining/winning games, but can only get it for logging onto CC on the lucky time.

I find it pretty unfair, because the frequency of getting Electric Green star on this way is greatly reduced, as stars for logging onto CC are much rarer than stars gotten for joining/winning games, which are obviously disabled in December.

If someone thinks my claim is not true, can he quote a single game played by him or by anyone else and started after Dec-02 within which any player received any kind of star?
