Concise description:

• Every week or month, a medals team comes up with a new challenge. That medal can only be won during the week

Specifics/Details:

• The qualifications will overlap with other medals
• Example challenge: Win 10 4-Player Games on France this month, any settings
• Another example: Win 1 speed game every day this week

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• It will be awesome
• Medals that newer players stand an equal chance at getting as casuals
• I totally stole the idea from how Pogo does their medal system
• great way for the site to advertise new settings, new maps, underplayed stuff, etc.
• Will give players a Specific Reason to come back next month/week

sounds fun

This sounds REALLY fun.

Will there be a time limit, though? Some larger player games won't be completed within a week and are hard to fill as far as speed is concerned.

I'm not sure exactly how it would work, details would still have to be hashed out. I think going based on a monthly prize system might work better in that case, so you have a whole month to finish games. I think if the challenge is particularly nasty (like 8p Hive Trench Nuclear Adjacent) then it should count games started as well as games finished.

I like it. I would just try to note when games started. And, to get things done in a timely manner, make round limits be used on any of the 24h games.

[betiko]

i like it too. would be a new medal or a GA awarded? cause it's kind of a general acheivement and they didn't raise the GA cap to 200.

Why has this not been implemented yet? Great idea.

[nicestash]

I like it!

A little known fact is that Adjacent Attacks tournaments and games were tried before Trench became a setting. I went even more extreme and did a tournament in which you were only allowed to attack certain continents on certain turns. My point is that sometimes testing the validity of a setting might help garner attention for the setting from admins.

So: If I ran a non-official version of this, would anyone be interested?

Where's the sign up thread already? Depends on the challenges of course though.

I think that's a good idea Doom. Go ahead and start it up. Maybe we can get some unofficial prizes as well. Keep me posted.

I am going to come up with a random table. Every month, I will randomize what the challenge will be. I think people will appreciate the transparency and then we can discuss the random table before this goes live.

[IcePack]

How many will the random table seat?
