May Challenge: Quebec Act, 1774

[Wingnut 16ga]

Tviorr,

I take offense to your comment "(simple) effort (i.e. joining vast amount of games and playing them with reasonable effort)". Do you think it's easy playing 300 active games, not missing a turn, and playing with the desire to win?

I find it amusing that so many find something wrong with a new format. So what if this months challenge is based on games played + plus wins...not everyone thinks every challenge should be the same. And it is just this months challenge I'm sure June will bring something different also.

Not trying to be mean, but I completely disagree. There are many people here could play that many games if they wanted to - its not that hard to do.

It's also asking a lot for someone that has a job or is taking classes to play so many games. There will always be one that has a ton of free time and can do this, but most cannot. Limiting the number of points from joining games would make it fairer, IMO.

You missed the point entirely. Why do all challenges have to be the same? This one was different so why is that bad? Is it bad only because you are not playing enough games to be competitive in the challenge? If you don't like the format then don't participate. Just because you don't like the format is not reason for you to down grade the challenge and the players that choose to participate. A challenge is just that a challenge this one happens to be a challenge that requires you play an ass load of games to have a shot at the green star. Don't be negative toward the players that have decided to give it a shot. And Tviorr if you think it's easy why complain just join us. Hmmm let me guess scared of loosing some points?

Well, all challenges have been the same so far. There has never been a cap on game limits, so you could have done this in every challenge to date.

[Wingnut 16ga]

Gilligan,
Again you missed the point. I'm not the one complaining about the challenge. The earlier posts seemed to have issue with the format. I'm only saying if you don't like the format don't play! There will be more challenges that suit your taste. So don't find fault in the players that are playing this format and not complaining.

KizKiz,

He has foed me also, and others that he has been unsuccessful against.

Eh. What...

1) You take offense... of what?

Im simply putting in a suggestion for a changed setup in a discussion thread. Not sure why you would take offense at that or what could possibly be wrong with that. I believe everything was phrased in a polite and sober way.

2) No I dont think its easy playing 300 games and trying to win. - However my suggestion does in fact not prohibit you from doing that. - It simply limits the number of points you get from playing and requires you to gather most of the points required for medals - or for that matter challenge wins through actually winning games.

3) Im not sure which part you find amusing. Im not exactly fault finding as such in any case. The current format works. I dont believe Ive stated otherwise. - What I write is simply a suggestion/suggestions towards a setup that I would like better. - Apparently its not currently possible without a change of programming, so for the foreseeable future its just something to consider for the game makers and challenge makers. - If it doesnt happen, it doesnt happen, and Ill still enjoy the challenges.

4) No, I dont believe every challenge should be the same either. - But as far as I can see, the norm of the setups so far does reward participation to the point that winning games is somewhat secondary. - Again, this isnt a wrong format and its not a fault. - I would simply prefer that winning was the primary source of points. - Not neccessarily for all challenges, but personally I would consider it more challenging to gain points by winning rather than participating.


Again, no offense was intended, and to be frank, I dont really see how I could have caused any.

Don't like the format...expressed my opinion in the beginning...didn't participate. If you keep excluding people that can't run 300 games at once because they have other stuff to do you'll end up with less players going for the challenge. As more and more people drop out of the challenges because it is unobtainable for most, the challenge will become obsolete. Give a reward for the player that gets the most points like a general achievement medal or some star but the challenge medal should go to the players who meet a reasonable goal. April's challenge format was perfect. Hope next month is different.

most medals have always required a heavy game load, i dont think anybody got any of the normal platinum medals without playing a thousand games... is this really any different?

That's over a course of many months, though. And all 80 games aren't the same settings

I will issue GA Medals to those who should have got 2. I have been doing some thinking on this. Give me a few days though, since I am busy with CCO right now.
