I'm curious to see how much this impacts the stats for Gallipoli on the map rankings.
https://www.conquerclub.com/public.php?mode=maps&sort=gamespermonth

Currently it ranks 152nd, at 6206 total games and 176 games per month. Rather low considering what a great map it is. We'll see if this pushes it up in the rankings a bit.

Maybe it is just me but so many of these monthly challenges seem more about massive game loads than they do about skill.

I love Galip, but it would likely cost me 500 points to try and get the medal. Seems absurd...

I've changed the point threshold to 25 points. Anyone who qualified under the old system but not under the new and still wants an inspirational message can apply to be grandfathered in. Please write a letter to:

Already a couple of good things have come out of this Challenge. I've already gotten four inspirational messages from DoomYoshi! Also, this:

one of the rules.Dont be a Jackass. Does the chat in these two games violate that rule? https://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=16903434 https://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=16903437

By Jove, I think we'll have to strip away the other players' chances!

I don't think it qualifies, ooge, or we'd have a lot of unhappy players.

They are just Joe Typical CC users. Since I am failing my prime duty of posting inspirational messages, I will post the full details of the graphics tomorrow.

Six hours left for games to start in order to have them count.

If anybody is struggling to fill some last-minute games, wall me.

Any good challenge comes with a good picture so I spent more time on the picture than anything else. First I had to find a picture which conveyed this month's theme.

Luckily, the University of Regina had the picture of those people wearing University of Regina sweatshirts. I photoshopped it so they were wearing CC jerseys instead but my photoshop was so bad that EBConquer took pity on me and made the final graphics, keeping the spirit of my idea but making it pop. Sadly, it's just random people from the web who don't even know they are being used for this purpose. However, the image was a great success all around as it makes people stop and think, which is the point of all art.

They are meant to be emblematic representations of typical Conquer Clubbers, behind the keyboard. I hope you can identify with one of the 4 characters. BoganGod wrote me and says that he feels like all 4, sometimes in the same day.
