August 2017 - The Betrayal of Haiti

Postby CatchersMitt14 on Mon Aug 07, 2017 9:45 am

August "Monthly" Challenge.

*** NOTE: THIS RUNS SEVEN DAYS ONLY, Aug. 7th to Aug. 13th ***


Image

On this day in 1802, Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the restoration of slavery on St. Domingue (now known as Haiti) thus betraying the egalitarian ideals of the French Revolution. (The despicable tyrant's betrayals of the sacred ideals of the Revolution were many and diverse. Almost every action he embarked on was a slap in the face to the Declaration of the Rights of Man. This just happens to be one that happened on Aug 7th.)


This Challenge will be brief and heartless, so that it can end before the start of the CC Olympics on Aug. 14th. All games must start and finish before the end of the day on August 13th. There will be no grace period to wrap up games afterward. All games must be Speed (any speed -- 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minute) and have a 20-round limit. The maps are Haiti and France 1789. You must have seven wins in total including at least one win on each of the two maps to qualify for a Challenge Achievement Medal. Seven days, seven wins. If you set a goal of one win a day and don't rest until you get it, you're in.

I imagine we will see a lot of 1v1 action in this Challenge, but any game type is allowed -- Terminators, Assassins, Team Games and Polys are all welcome! Play order must be Sequential.

The Top 5 on the scoreboard will get the usual extra prizes. This will be settled by win percentage overall among those who have their seven wins.

Yes, thank you, I'm aware. I have not made the links yet.

Yes, if you buy speed game packs or upgrade to premium for the month.

Oops, an oversight. Yes, 1 minute games count towards the challenge. I've corrected the OP.

No, once you meet the minimum your score should appear. I'll have an admin look at it. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
