February 2017 - Febenario

[CatchersMitt14]

Official Monthly Challenge for February 2017
Brought to you by the Community Team.



CLICK HERE TO JOIN WAITING GAMES

*** Pay attention, the process to join a scenario game is different from joining a standard game. The above link will take you to the scenario we are using for this month's challenge. You can request to start as many scenario games as you would like at a time. These waiting games can be viewed under the "Requests" tab on your central command page. Once there are enough players in the queue, the game will start. ***

Tip for joining multiple games at a time - open "start" link in new tab. I do this by middle-clicking on the link. It can also easily be done by holding the command key on Mac or control key on PC then simultaneously left clicking the link.

NO SIGN-UPS REQUIRED - Everyone is eligible!
Games must start between February 01 and February 28.

MEDAL CRITERIA
Tokens are for WINS only.
ONE WIN is required for a CA medal (any token).

*** Reminder, this is a scenario-based challenge and scenario games do not affect your points associated with your rank. ***

Each PLATINUM Token is worth 7 points - GREEN [PLAYER 2]
Each GOLD Token is worth 5 points - BLUE [PLAYER 3]
Each SILVER Token is worth 3 points - RED [PLAYER 1]
Each BRONZE Token is worth 1 point - YELLOW [PLAYER 4]

Nice idea for the challenge.

[Man from Modesto]

Very cool.

Question: how much time does each player have to play? Start looks like speed game (keep this window open...)

Ah, figured it out. 24 hours. Thanks.

[hwhrhett]

how many points do we need for a medal?

Got me the first time too. Don't know why it does that. Yes, they're 24 hour rounds.

how many points do we need for a medal?

One.

I clicked enter on three games... when they said, "your game is ready," the game started. Only with four other players.

Using iPad. cCould that be my problem?

I do not see any issue with anything you just wrote. If you think there is one, please expand.

My first time doing the challenges since I joined..just wanted to say really like this 4 corner concept..cheers

[Beast Of Burson]

really like this 4 corner concept..cheers

Agreed. Should be set up as a game choice when creating games. That would be awesome. Plus, you never know who you will play until it starts.

Question:

It say's Conquer everything.... So if the other 3 players get taken out, does the game end and no points for not conquering all?

[Ivanthehorrible]

Agreed. Should be set up as a game choice when creating games. That would be awesome.

Take it even further..when creating a game..have ability to pick starting points for any amount of players u decide to have in the game.

That would kind of defeat the purpose of 4 corners. You can only have 4 players, 1 in each corner of a map. Eurasia is one of the biggest maps here. Most other maps, except a few other large ones, would be too small in my opinion.

But I do think this concept could work as an option on the larger maps.

I will have them look into this. Stay in the queue, the system will drop your games when it is ready.

Nope, as long as you win (as in you are the only player left standing) you get the token.

[ConfederateSS]

----Yes, Great Challenge...
----Right as I was making requests...The scenario moved from down the list. To second from the top...THE SPOILS...WENT FROM ESC...TO FLAT...WHY? Does the creator of this scenario know you messed with their work? If so, why not let us have the option of either?... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

I was not in the game.

...

I eventually clicked enter on a different game, hours later, and was apparently fourth -game started instantly with me in it. This is my only Feb. challenge game.

[fairman]

Thanks for this challenge.
Almost sure that some high rankers will love the scenario idea.
GL all

Wow, what an unfounded accusation. Did you at least talk to [player]slankz[/player] before deciding to incriminate me or did you just assume his intent?

Nothing was changed, nothing was altered, nothing was tampered with upon the creation of this challenge. Scenarios are ordered by a popularity measure - based on games played over a period of time. Hence why you see them reordered from day to day. They also go through beta and get approved by [player]iancanton[/player] before they are released onto the site just like any other map. The creator had ample time to test and adjust his work, what you see live on the site is how it was passed through beta.

Is there something to this? I see that people have won games and yet no one is listed on the scoreboard

Nope, as long as you win (as in you are the only player left standing) you get the token.

I am aware there is an issue with the tokens not dropping. Waiting for admin to look into the coding issue. Please be patient while they do.

------It says FLAT, on the page when you join...But when the game loads...It loads ESC....It's all KOOL...It must have always been like that...You never gave any settings listed in the challenge post...So it looked like some bug was a foot... ...But everything on the settings issue seems O.K...ESC...is faster and better anyway...

Fixed.

[Dukasaur]

------It says FLAT, on the page when you join...But when the game loads...It loads ESC....

Yeah, it's true. The scenario description says flat, when it's actually escalating. "Sequential" is spelled wrong, too.

It's just a case of a sloppy description rather than a mad conspiracy.

[Nailsale]

lol...i just realized the different amount of points and medals depending on your game color and location...now it makes sense...some spots definately have an advantage over others. Damn i am slow to pick up on the details.

[CatchersMitt14]

im having problems registering to the games i start 1 it says like 6 qued but i never end up in any of the games

I will have them look into this. Stay in the queue, the system will drop your games when it is ready.

There are freemiums with their max of four games in the queue. Games will not start with these players until they complete one of their active games in order to be within the limit.
