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

fixed!

I've played quite a few games of this now, all good. But from what I've seen all start points are actually about equal. Certainly a platinum is about the same chance as a bronze.

Doesn't matter of course, but I wanted to express this as my opinion in case it reappears as a challenge in 12-months.

Great challenge, with no points on the line and quick games I am free to experiment and try different things. Loving the games

Hmm, I just had no issues joining one. Can you elaborate on what you see/don't see when trying to join?

If you are a non-subscriber your request will go in the queue and you'll only join a game if you have an available game slot.

The same as any other escalating game. Just start at eight instead of four.

I am the only one who is getting tired of having to play ConfederateSS every game? He has over 550 games and every new one I start, he is in.

Red and green start way too close to each other.

I know somebody is going to say: why didn't you bring this up in Beta?

It's because this is the first time I have actually looked at the scenario.

In 90% of the games red or green is eliminated first (usually red). Very rarely blue and never has yellow been eliminated first.

If you look at all of the neutrals between green and yellow and blue and yellow, it's hard to take them out quick. The problem is, there are only 3 single neutrals between red and green. There should be a minimum of 3 on each tert to start so that red and green have a fair shot. I have been both on the receiving end and taking end of that scenario crap loads of time.

On the bright side, at least no points are lost. People are going to take a lot more chances and try new things because of that. So going after red/green in the first or second round for the kill is common I've noticed.

I had green take me out at yellow in the first round and blue too. But it is rare when that happens.

You are seeing exactly what I am seeing.
I think the scores should be adjusted so that red gets the most points, then green, then yellow, then blue only gets one point.

I hear what you are saying. If you would like to suggest alterations for the future feel free to contact slankz as he is the creator of this scenario. As for the purposes of this challenge, I will not be changing any of the parameters as it is live.

I contacted and heard from slankz. He said he agrees, especially since he was wiped out in the first round himself. After this challenge, he is going to change the neutrals to 3's. Just passing on info.

My two cents, order of difficulty is actually Blue - Red - Yellow - Green

The ratios of the top twenty ranked players are:

Bronze (68)
Silver (62)
Gold. (56)
Platinum (77)

To redistribute the total 16 points according to relative difficulty, (I used ratios), the value of wins would be 3 for Green (the easiest win), 4 for either Red or Yellow , and 5 for Blue.

If you can get into the Top 5, there are the usual prizes that come with placing Top 5 in any Challenge. Other than that, no.

The prizes for challenges are the same every month. A score minimum is set for the CA medal then the top five finishers also receive a conquer star.

What are the prizes?
For reaching the Challenge Goal you get one of the rarest medals on the site, the Challenge medal. Challenges only come around once, if you miss it, you won't ever have another chance.

For scoring the most points in the Challenge: 1 Green Conquer Star

For those who finish in 2nd-5th place in the Challenge and achieve the Goal: 1 Blue Conquer Star

I have suggested this before but to cut down on this being asked again and it will be why not post this with each challenge?

Good Lord...you know this will wont be finished until February 2019 as slow as some of these players play

I am in 50 of these things and there is no dog-named way this will be over before the end of this year.

Several players milk the number of games and SIT

so, to heck with it....if it is unlimited games --i might as well join the crowd and let February Challenge 2017 end in 2019
