Do scenario games count towards overall medal progress? Doubs,freestyle, Team medal.


I have no idea.


sometimes there is a lag with medal progress but I am beginning to think no medal progress for scenario games.maybe something that needs to be looked into changing.

People who are joining a bunch of games, then missing turns, are ruining this challenge! We should consider banning players who miss x amount of turns in these challenges that involve a ton of games.

Usually, this is true of the challenges but not so for this one.

I'm involved in several games with players that just can't seem to take their turns. Either on my team, or not, it's not working well. I say that if you miss 5 turns, you can't join any more games. I'm thinking specifically of a certain player in the top 10 that is missing turns often.

Would be interesting to implement a point bonus based on total points scored.1 for 1 would be cool. the more you win the more you get, without risk of losing. Im at 600 and that would be a nice bonus. Just a thought.

Neat idea, but it's not going to happen.

Current statistics for the top 5 players... NOTE that running (not finished) games are also counted.

It seems almost every third game is a WIN... and statistics don't lie :)

Stats of 25.02.2015. : (there is a new entry of buster582 who is currently 4th but I'll sort the table when all games end - the current arrangement isn't correct either)

There should just be some kind of "challenge points" and maybe a GA or another (new) medal for achieving challenge points. So everyone has a different set of points aside from the current one, and they are stacking up whenever you get them, be it win or losed game. You wouldn't lose these, but the normal one you would.

I stand by my previous comment about missing turns. Almost all of my current games have been held hostage because the 2nd place player checked out, and hasn't taken a turn since yesterday morning. I'd join 20 more games, but once he comes back online and starts taking turns again, the game load will be more than I want. Seems like an interesting tactic at the end of the month. Join many games, then stop taking turns, preventing others from gaining points. I really like the scenario challenge format, but I would strongly encourage a rule that boots players that miss more than 5 turns in a challenge like this in the future!

I currently have 20 active games involving [player]loenatiek[/player]. He hasn't taken a turn since yesterday morning. Yep, I'm calling him out directly. He should have been booted from this challenge weeks ago!

Another afternoon waiting for turns to expire. I've received PMs telling me that if this type of challenge is started again without penalties for missing turns, players will simply not participate. It's a great concept, and I had a lot of fun playing the games, but the deadbeating strategy killed it for me. Fix this one Doom!

I have played a lot of games as well with loenatiek and to throw another name out there buster582 has as well missed a lot of turns and they are in the number 2 and 3 spots! It is told bs that people that have played a lot of games are getting screwed over by a couple of cheats! I as well have enjoyed playing these games and really finding the motivation to play the challenges anymore if people can cheat their way through the games. It is not fair to the rest of us. I have played a lot of these games and have not missed one turn! Just wanted to throw my opinion out and hope something changes!

After a poll of the top 10 players, it is determined that the deadbeating rule will be retroactively enforced. Any player in the top 5 is subject to deadbeating analysis. I won't take away anyone's medal, but I will take away top 5 status, if the deadbeating is a problem (more than 1 win are from a deadbeat game).

I'd love to see a top 5 that excludes players that missed turns in games.
