Halloween 2013 - The Modpocalypse!

Postby sempaispellcheck on Tue Oct 29, 2013 10:26 pm

This Halloween... The Horror Has Returned!

That's right! The Chatters are once again giving you a chance to SMAC them in Speedy Matches Against Chatters (SMAC) II - The Modpocalypse.


Starting just before Halloween, the Chatters will be joined by a host of Mods (Honorary Chatters) and they will all be creating games for you to attempt to beat them in the epic showdown of The Modpocalypse. At stake are 5 glittering GA medals and 2 years in premium prizes... provided that you can survive the week. Be warned that one wrong step may just lead you to an early grave where the Mods will claim your souls for their trophies!

The Demons of Hell will guard the gates to the games and are ordered to deny anyone who does not utter the correct phrases of power. Those phrases can ONLY be found inside of the area known as Live Chat. Use your entries wisely, for you have only 3 chances against any particular mod and will only be awarded a skeleton key if you escape with your life by defeating all opponents in your game. Using more than 3 entries against any Mod will have dire consequences... You have been warned!

Only 5 among you will be rewarded and allowed to escape the confines of Hell. We shall keep the rest of your souls to decorate our trophy caverns. The mods may decide to give you extra opportunities to meet them in team combat in the heat of battle. If they do so we shall be merciful and not hold those battles as part of your limited chances but each participant may still not get more than 1 key from each fight.

The top 4 key collectors will be allowed to unlock the gates and will depart this Abyss bearing a GA medal and a premium bounty as follows:

1st place - 1 year
2nd place - 6 months
3rd & 4th places - 3 months each

Of the remainder the one who has valiantly battled the most individuals in our army in non team combat shall also be allowed to depart with a GA medal and we will confine the rest of you to our caverns in the depths of Hell where you shall forever be doomed to roll CC's demonic Dice! You have until the 6th of November to save your soul.... We'll be waiting for you!

Now, if you worry that you might not be fast enough to escape the SMACs of the Chatters and their minions Honorary fellows, we have some more - shall we say - lingering scares in store for you:

Official Games on CC's spookiest map – Halloween Hollows!!

The Masters of Scaremonies on the
Entertainment Team have created a whole bunch of games so that everyone can get their fear share. :twisted:
To find games waiting for players, click here.

Don't see your favorite settings? Feel free to ask me for them, but be careful what you wish for, and remember that any settings you don't choose, you leave up to me. :twisted:
You may only play three of these games, but if you manage to win one, you can run home to Mommy with a shiny new GA Medal.
The password for all of these games will be "Happy Halloween!"

But, if you're willing to brave the scariest games CC has to offer, try your luck at one of my patent-pending Medal Hunting Games, featuring settings straight out of your worst nightmares:
12 players,
Standard,
Random Map,
Manual Initial Troops,
Freestyle,
Nuclear Spoils,
No Reinforcements,
Fog of War, AND
Trench Warfare.
These games will be casual and have a 30-round limit, to maximize their entertainment value – for me, of course. MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

These games will not count towards the three-game limit, but there will be no more than five of them, and any brave soul who manages to keep his or her wits about him or her long enough to win one will be allowed to escape with 6 months of free Premium membership!
To ensure that no one player joins more than one of these games, you must PM me asking for the password to be allowed to join one.

Good luck - you'll need it. :twisted:

It has come to my attention that, in my haste to get everything ready for the event, I neglected to announce the winners of our Pumpkin Carving Contest!

Unfortunately, we only had 4 entries this year (shame on all of you who didn't enter), but those 4 entries were quite good, and our judges had a devil of a time ranking them.

The winner, who will receive a General Achievement Medal and 3 months of Premium membership, is Aysan!!!
show: 1st Place


Our second- and third-place carvers, who will each receive a GA Medal, are, respectively, Beer Baron...
show: 2nd Place


and Team CC's own koontz1973!!
show: 3rd Place


And the lone Honorable Mention goes to dakky21!
show: Honorable Mention


koontz felt that the corners of his map would be the perfect place for our four entries, so that is where he has put them. For the next week or so, our favorite chess-based map will look like this:
show: Map

...as soon as I can get someone to upload the images. :oops:

Thank you to all who participated, and congratulations to all our winners!

Just so you know... you can join in the SMAC fun by checking in Live Chat for the p/w for games. No signups are necessary, you will be added to the list when you start playing games.

Don't forget I seen the event is in place 30 minutes before deadline. So my honorable mention was drawn in less than 10 minutes :)

Absolutely!! All you have to do is ask.
How many slots per player?
And are there any other settings you'd like to specify?

I see 96 games that the mods have created that have not yet been joined. Seems to be the other way around to me!

SMAC runs until Wednesday.
This is the last day to request Official Event games on Halloween Hollows.
Games will be open for joining until Thursday, November 14 - 2 weeks from Halloween.
Any games that have not started by that day will be dropped - with smaller games created or players moved into other games as necessary.
