Sounds like this idea garnered little interest. Consider this idea abandoned (but without the draft stamp, per the Abandoned Maps Policy).

If I were to go with that idea, I might as well add in a graph of the historical price of tea in China .

If it needs stating: click the link for what I suspect would be the common reaction to adding in these extra parts, despite the narrative connection. I'd consider naming this "Caffeine Conquest ...

So in fog games when round is 10th or more if the button appears the you will know the opponent has double troops? Good one there.

This concern has been voiced before.
But it's only for 1vs1 and poly, thus I don't see how the information that your opponent has twice more troops than you will be ...

Game 17605240 too.

Thanks for the challenge, but as normal for this type of thing*, some of the clues were technically wrong or not usable.

*Not a fault of you specifically. Rather, it has been my experience that almost everyone who tries putting together a puzzle like this runs into this problem unless they are ...

I wonder if the silver condition as stated is incorrect. It says "finish", not "win", but games I have finished and not won recently have not gotten me silver tokens. Presumably games started before the challenge are not valid for tokens, but in games started during the challenge where the winner ...

As pointed out in PM, "above numbers" is vague. There are numbers in the facts, but are the dates included? The "2016" from the post title? The post time (which varies depending on time zone of who's looking)?

They say the best robot kickboxer in the world is so poor at chess, anyone can beat it in one move!

Speed chess, anyway. You make a move, it doesn't make a move before its timer runs out, you win.

They say that laughter is the best medicine. Given all the jokes in this thread, might one say we are applying it topically?

Back in 1919, during Romania's invasion of Transylvania while the Hungarian Army was officially disarmed, one of said army's former officers - a count by heredity, not that he cared much for the title - was puttering around his mansion when there was a commotion outside. When he went to see what was ...

Precious had been playing for years using the accounts Thursby and Jacoby . But when she got greedy and opened her third account as the BLack Bird it gave her away
It was the Multi's Falcon that made Precious take the fall,

Yay, my joke inspired another joke! :D And on that line...

Actually, this part I really did figure out from the scoreboard itself, before I started reading the instructions in depth.

thank you WC. the whole thing is an incorrect sequence -- it was totally made up AS A JOKE
good to see that you know Code so well. and did you invert it or convert it? wouldn't invert be upside down or in reverse order?

I have a ham radio license - but honestly, I just tossed it through one of ...

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first offensive use of tanks (the Battle of Flers–Courcelette): there were two classes of tank at that time, one equipped with a large cannon and one with machine guns, designated "male" and "female" respectively. Why were the latter, anti-infantry tanks ...

Nice one! If you don't mind a twist on that:
