Truuu.

If a challenge needs several wins of varying kinds, escalating and trench can be a unique gameplay choice in certain cases. But when the challenge calls for spamming the same gametype over and over, that gametype should be one that is exciting and engaging with each new game. This is not, in my humble opinion. Thanks for your work here! I do appreciate it a lot. But some challenges lately have felt more like work than a show of any merit.



as someone who loves trench, i love it, it would be easier if it wasnt trench, trench can be grueling, but i think thats kinda what makes it a challenge....

I don't mind trench at all. I just think it needs to be flat rate, nuke, no spoils...not escalating.

damn, how can someone prefer FR to anything?
actually in my opinion esc works nice with trench. Sometimes it can be a game saver(most than any other setting) for those who just end in R1 or 2 with no chance to recover

Not really.. Once you're at a significant disadvantage with trench escalating you've basically lost.

Especially with a round limit. Just sitting there and stacking is a huge threat. I lost by a single cash in the Scotland games an I only had like, 3 territs and the other guy had 30+.

The following players are quite close to getting a medal. If time expires and they have not got a medal, I will still count the admission in those games that are still active, up to a maximum of 28 points.

cooldeals
Gilligan
jonofperu
merch313
SuicidalSnowman


The following players came close, but have no chance of getting the medal. I am sorry for your luck. I wish I had a consolation prize, but all I have are drab stars.

Other things to watch as the games wrap up: Can denominator pass idusmars again? If 2 of his games finish he can tie. He needs a kill for the win.

Not yet, sorry. Once December is totally wrapped (Feb 1st) I will start working on one.

4p dubs is 60 for winners; 10 for each player on the losing team

is this 60 per player or 60 for the team (30 per player)?

Not likely. All my remaining games have hit that stalemate point, and I am not looking good in any of them.

Thanks DoomYoshi. I think I actually just had a game end which will give me my last participation point. I assumed I would get the 1 point for joining even if the game didn't end on time (I think I have 4 more open). Glad I'm getting by that was close. Yay challenge medal!

Once again thanks for doing the challenge.

Are you guys talking about December challenge or January? I mean there should be a thread for Dec winners, I'm confused right now, can I still get a medal for January? (with almost 10 games to be won on Kings within Feb 7) ... In future there should be a thread for each month....

Unless I'm wrong, it's too late to start Jan challenge and too soon to start Feb. I have played a few KoM, but I'm not sure if it's enough to matter.

No worries - at the moment, there's no special prize for winning every challenge.
I won't say we won't come up with one at some point, but I would advise you not to hold your breath waiting for it.
