It says in the original post. 30 for GA, 180 for CA.


sorry, must have missed it!


You need at least 50 Points for the General Achievement Medal and 180 Point for the Challenge Achievement Medal.


Doom it's 50 not 30... That's quoted from OP

I think the scoreboard has corrected this to "Game Win: 1 Gold Token Per Opponent Team (Worth 3 Points)".

Need to fix it here too - otherwise it sounds like a 1v1 win gives 2 Gold tokens - since there were 2 teams in the game.

The same happened to me. All of these games were started by the same player. I joined through the "click here to join games" banner, the others probably did, too. Is it because it doesn't have a 20 round limit?

Yeah, the 20 round limit is mandatory. The game link should not take you to games that don't have it.

Sorry everyone, it's a case of too many cooks. I forgot to change the gamelink when we switched the ruling. The link is fixed now and I am sorry to everyone it affected.

I think it would be healthy to find a solution that makes this guy stop filling every single poly-sunny leaving no room for any other 2 to enjoy a fast playing game!

This isn't the first time this happened; our last non-automatic challenge, there was a bug that caused people to join wrong settings games. In this case, the bug is due to admin oversight, but I don't think the issue is a huge one. I don't think we can award any points.

That game doesn't have the mandatory 20-round limit. See thread, above.

It really wouldn't kill you to scroll up and read. The thread is only a page and a half long.

As a public service, I quote:

DoomYoshi wrote:The settings that must be present are South Africa, Team or Polymorphic, No Spoils, No Reinforcement, Automatic and Round Limit of 20.
Please double check and make sure you have all these settings set.


I missed the 20-round-limit demand on my poly-games, can they still count towards the challange, since obviously noone would create games with these stupid settings if wasnt for the challange? no forts.. its stupid enough to be obviously meant for this right?

Hey,

Thanks for the monthly challenges, they add a bit of variety to my gaming with settings I wouldn't normally play.

Have I misunderstood this
"Each gold token is worth 3 points - upon winning, one gold token is awarded per # of teams in the game"

I've just won a 4 team poly (Game 14502130) but only got 1 gold, shouldn't it be 4 golds?

Cheers.

There are only 2 teams in that game. (And all poly games currently.) Games with 4 teams look like this.
