FAQs:

Who can play a Challenge?
Challenges are open to everyone!

How do I join?
No signups required. Join and/or create games that meet the given parameters for this month as found in the OP. Only public games count towards the challenge unless otherwise explicitly stated in the challenge OP. There is also a "join games" link in the OP to provide an easy list of qualifying games.

What are the prizes?
All players who meet or exceed the minimum number of required points for the month will earn a Challenge Achievement Medal. The point requirements change every month as we aim to provide a vast assortment of challenges which includes a varying level of difficulty.


Site Event Medals are awarded to the top three finishers on the challenge scoreboard.
1st:
2nd:
3rd:

In addition to the medals, the first place finisher receives: 1 Green Conquer Star

And the 2nd-5th place finishers receive: 1 Blue Conquer Star


When do I get my prize?
My goal is always to award prizes during the week following the completion of the event.

How do we deal with deadbeating?
Please report deadbeats in your games by sending me a PM. I will periodically do a random check however I cannot monitor every game. We will evaluate the distribution of prizes to a violating player on a case by case basis.

Tiebreakers?
Ties are awarded to the player who reached the point threshold first.

A player has me foed and it is preventing me from joining a lot of challenge games. What can I do?
PM the player in question. Be courteous and non-accusatory, ask why you are foed. Do your best to resolve any issues with the other user in this manner. However, if they decided not to remove you from their foe list then you will need to join games without that player or start your own.

What if I want to run a parallel tournament to the challenge?
Okay, awesome! Individual tournaments can be added to the challenges so that those games drop tokens. Send me a PM and we will get it added for the month.

Rulings:
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
2. Wins by round limit will drop tokens.
3. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of the year.
4. Bot games do not drop tokens.
5. Any unforeseen abuse is still abuse. Don't take advantage of the system.

If you have any further questions or issues not covered here please either post in the active challenge thread or PM groovysmurf.

The buttons to find games take one to screens that are set to show one the games that are filled or completed, not the ones that are waiting.

The Silver settings on the forum page, and link to waiting games show games with no trench. The event page/scoreboard show Silver settings and link to games show with trench. Please clarify

[groovysmurf]

Just use my links above for now. I have to PM bigWham about the ones he put in on the event page. Hopefully that will be fixed in a day or so.

Hiya. Am I able to participate in the "companion tournament"? How would I go about doing so?

The monthly challenge companion tournaments are filled before the month begins actually so that they can be started on the first day of the new month. Because of this, they are "blind", meaning you sign up not knowing the map (or the settings sometimes).

The links to the threads with the challenges can be found HERE. Look for the new sign-ups for each month about a week before the month starts, though we are going to be trying to push them out earlier (likely about 1/2 way through the month). So, if you want April's Challenge, look in Mid-Late March.

We will also try to remember to Wall you when we post.

Where the settings for the Trips games changed?? Trench to no Trench?

It's been non trench from the beginning. BigWham just accidentally clicked the trench button when he coded it in. Always go by what I put in the forum here. Did you start many that way? If so, I can see what I can do.

I started 15

Doesn't bother me but some of the other regular monthly players joined a few

I was invited to a few games and joined them (not 15 tho! sorry about your luck sdh if they don't count)

I didn't check the settings on the thread. I joined the games because it was on the same map as the Tournament invites and I figured the person who sent the invites got the settings right (only setting I looked at was round limit cause that's the biggest one people sometimes forget).

If the settings said one thing somewhere and another thing somewhere else I think they should count but no biggie to me if they don't.

[Dukasaur]

One of my favourite maps! It's a real shame that I don't really have time to play. In any case, kudos for this Challenge!

[groovysmurf]

Thanks Duk! Sorry you won't get a chance to play much. Maybe some speeders?

Regarding the 18 silver games that were started with the trench setting because of the mistake on the event page, those 18 games will still count for this challenge.

He has a lot of thinking to do. You would think his elbow would be tired by now

Sounds groovy. Thanks

[sdh]

Thankyou

[JOHNNYROCKET24]

anybody want a 10 game series just send me the invites. Unless you already have a bunch of active games vs me. Wait until those are completed.

There's 1 still going of those 18. When it completes I will make sure all get rewarded.

[groovysmurf]

Just a note, more for myself than anything. Issued the Challenge Dome points, but unable to issue stars, event medals or challenge achievements at this point. It's being looked into.

[groovysmurf]

Okay, all medals, awards and points now issued. Thanks to all who played and congrats to the winners!
