I've headlined it for you.DoomYoshi wrote:Is there any way to get this into announcement feed? Right now I am bumping it, as I don't want to lose top billing to the home-page. Oddly enough, I am trying to get onto the home page.
No, that's over here.BigBallinStalin wrote:Is this the thread for making fun of DoomYoshi?
Try to find those players you know that are frequently online, few times a day.Sirius Kase wrote:Does casual mean no round limit? Is that still the case or has it been changed to permit round limits? I used the link in GioDuce post above to find some games to clone. Only the ones that I created without round limits appear in the Joins Games link in the original post, but other games created with round limits by someone else do appear. I'm concerned about starting games that will finish by the end of the year.

They do. You can check public games by the link from the first post. if your game isn't there, it doesn't count.shoop76 wrote:Thought games had to be trench to count.Sirius Kase wrote:My Scotland games all filled up except for Game 13699246. Thanks for the challenge.
Cool cause we are not responsible of the length of a 5 men trench game!DoomYoshi wrote:As a heads up, there will be an extra completion window after the end of the month. More details will follow, but do not worry about starting a game even into the last week of December.

Also doom, I think it would make more sense to have these challenges exclusively played on speed games. It would be a great thing to get people back into speed gaming. Let s say each month a game type and settings is chosen, and games are automatically created in the speedgame section for people to join. Points could be counted automatically and with speed games you could set the end of the month as a real deadline.
I think your challenges should be more focused into encouraging to play new settings with new maps on speed game. Let s say alaska, zombie polymorph speed games or something next month... It s your baby, just my 2cents
Since when speed games last 6 hours? If a given game lasts 6 hours in speed game, it would last probably 6 month in casual game, or more. Maybe you were being sarcastic.. But feels like you really meant that nonesense!DoomYoshi wrote:speed games take way too long... i don't have the patience to sit around one spot for 6 hours.
no thank you, i don't want to spend more than 20 minutes a time on CC.betiko wrote:Holy shit man, just noticed you don t even have the speed bronze medal.. You must ve had a bad experience in you early days. Give it another try with a speed challenge.
most speed 1v1 or polymorph are played in less than 20 minutes total. I've seen you make some researches about forum stats ect that probably took you a few hours, but playing a few speed games a month is too much involvement, you are an enigmaDoomYoshi wrote:no thank you, i don't want to spend more than 20 minutes a time on CC.betiko wrote:Holy shit man, just noticed you don t even have the speed bronze medal..

If you want to run things, why not sign up for the Entertainment Team? Let DoomYoshi run it as he sees fit and if it doesn't work, then let him fix it. We're 11 days in to a 31 day challenge and you're already complaining that it is taking too long. I've got 30 games running for this and at least a third of them have already tipped the balance to the point that it is clear they won't last the month. Most of the slow ones are because of deadbeats.betiko wrote:most speed 1v1 or polymorph are played in less than 20 minutes total.

so how long exactly do you reckon it wil take you to calculate points for all the site's participants for your challenge, and what type of headaches are you going to go through with games that will continue active for a month or 2 in 2014 since you don't even impose a round limit? Not to mention that you will open a new challenge in january, then feb and so on, each time with the previous month's games not finished. things will start piling up, you will be overwhelemed by chaos and you will eventually have to give up.
There are no incentives to speed games and this would bring the whole comunity back into it. Your initiative is great, but of course you had to be the only experienced player who has never played speed games in his entire cc career for obscure reasons and principles
Have you talked to giligan and sempai regarding the special events they run where you need to win a game out of 3? even with round limit it takes way too much time for all of them to end; and they just have to check for winners! you will have to go game bby game to count points and see who killed who.... that is a nightmare mate!! no one can handle such thing o the long run.
You can put any round limit you want. The rules only specify some of the settings, all of the others are up to you.benga wrote:can we put 20 round limit?

I agree that there should be incentives for speed games, but I don't agree this is the time or place to do it.
, but ...There you go!agentcom wrote:(Coming from a guy not participating in the challenge, just watching it out of interest, FWIW)
I agree that DY can run this any way he damn well pleases
I don't see the problem with allowing speeders ... why not, right? Maybe he's thought of this already and has a reason for the exclusion.
Also, I'm thinking about the autotournaments and how they're set up and they seem to be a compliment to this. Instead of being on the tourney page, some auto-created games would be at the top of the gamefinder page. The games would be created with random settings for the settings that aren't specified by the Challenge. Or players would have an option to create their own and have it similarly listed. Seems like there could be a lot of promise to these suggestions as the the challenge idea develops and continues over the next several months. But again, DY has probably already thought of a lot of this.
