You can request to start as many scenario games as you would like at a time. These waiting games can be viewed under the "Requests" tab on your central command page.

FAQs:

Who can play a Challenge?
Challenges are open to everyone!

How do I join?
No signups required. Join and/or create games that meet the given parameters for this month as found in the OP. Only public games count towards the challenge unless otherwise explicitly stated in the challenge OP. There is also a "join games" link in the OP to provide an easy list of qualifying games.

What are the prizes?
All players who meet or exceed the minimum number of required points for the month will earn a Challenge Achievement Medal. The point requirements change every month as we aim to provide a vast assortment of challenges which includes a varying level of difficulty.


Site Event Medals are awarded to the top three finishers on the challenge scoreboard.
1st:
2nd:
3rd:

In addition to the medals, the first place finisher receives: 1 Green Conquer Star

And the 2nd-5th place finishers receive: 1 Blue Conquer Star


When do I get my prize?
My goal is always to award prizes during the week following the completion of the event.

How do we deal with deadbeating?
Please report deadbeats in your games by sending me a PM. I will periodically do a random check however I cannot monitor every game. We will evaluate the distribution of prizes to a violating player on a case by case basis.

Tiebreakers?
Ties are awarded to the player who reached the point threshold first.

A player has me foed and it is preventing me from joining a lot of challenge games. What can I do?
PM the player in question. Be courteous and non-accusatory, ask why you are foed. Do your best to resolve any issues with the other user in this manner. However, if they decided not to remove you from their foe list then you will need to join games without that player or start your own.

What if I want to run a parallel tournament to the challenge?
Okay, awesome! Individual tournaments can be added to the challenges so that those games drop tokens. Send me a PM and we will get it added for the month.

Rulings:
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
2. Wins by round limit will drop tokens.
3. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of the year.
4. Bot games do not drop tokens.
5. Any unforeseen abuse is still abuse. Don't take advantage of the system.

If you have any further questions or issues not covered here please either post in the active challenge thread or PM groovysmurf.

I notice this challenge doesn't effect score/rank. Assuming this was on purpose, I like it.

Scenario games never affect your score. You can play them all year round. We feature them in the February Challenge, but you can go play Scenario games any time.

Are the points oke on the scoreboard.

Elaterate has 42 points en CatchersMitt have no points.

Also you need at least two different tokens.

[thoffs]

Generally the points are not posted on the scoreboard until the player has achieved the challenge.

Let me enjoy the moment while it lasts Probably a glitch cause thoffs has 2 different medals and his points aren't showing. My silver medal will come soon

You have to meet all of the requirements to show a score. So in this case two different tokens and at least 15 points. Anything less than that and it’ll say zero.

[the warrior65]

yes indeed

[the warrior65]

And there he is. The silver medal

[the warrior65]

Oke I understand . But at this moment Thoffs has 6 bronzr tokens and 1silver token.

So he had 15 points, but the scoreboard say zero points

[groovysmurf]

There was a tiny error, bigWham has fixed it now.

[ElricTheGreat]

There was a tiny error, bigWham has fixed it now.

There are several players with 2 different medals but still showing a score of 0

At what point is there a point awarded and shown on the Scoreboard?

so no stakes?
ok so whats then to stop someone from starting 500 middle-earth games.. since whomever starts wins that is at least 250 free points, since you build up a batch of games everyone else trying to play will also be forced to play you 1st..

a bit odd in my view, but maybe im just oddly competitive and with nothing at stake that would be the way to guarantee the win,,

Yeah, and if you have the patience to play 500 games that would be your preferred strategy. Of course, you may find there is someone else with the patience to play 700 games. Some people like that, some people hate it. That's why every month has a different scoring formula. The January Challenge, for instance, was the opposite kind of formula, where your best strategy was to join very few games and play them very well. We do different things to engage different kinds of player.

The mandate of the Monthly Challenges is to engage people and get them to try different things; to get them out of their ruts of playing the same games and same settings. It accomplishes that mandate quite well, I think. Quite often I hear people say things like "I didn't know this map even existed" or "I thought nukes were a garbage setting but I actually had fun." The scoreboard is there as a fun little bonus; it's not meant to be an objective test of your brilliance. Not everyone on CC imagines themselves to be a master strategist. Some people know they suck and don't really care; they just want to have fun.
