Whac a Mod VIII

[josko.ri]

The time for joining WHAC-A-MOD games is now over.

Wins in ongoing games will continue to be counted until the 21st.

The banner on your Central Command page is gone now, but you can still access the scoreboard through the Community Tab or through this link.

How will be counted games started after the deadline, for example Game 16245687?

From the game log, I can see that no whac a mod tokens were awarded upon the start of the game.

[BIG_John]

I don't think that game will count. Whac a Mod ended on the 7th from what I understand bud. It will probably be just like a regular doubles game.

[Dukasaur]

It shouldn't count.

I don't know how the code works, though. It definitely didn't drop a Game Join token, but if it finishes before the 22nd will it still drop a Game Win token?

Time will tell.

[Shannon Apple]

In that case, it was probably someone not accepting their invite on time rather than deliberately started after deadline. Game privs were removed so no more could be created after the deadline. There are probably others as well.

If it didn't drop a token, then it won't when it finishes.

I wouldn't be so sure. I know more than most people about the event engine, but I am often surprised by what it does. No assumption is safe.

Quite a few games were started after the deadline. A lot of people (myself included) didn't realize that the event ended on the 7th. I had assumed, as had many people, that the event closed on the 10th when the rest of the CC10 events do. In fact, I was planning a big "final push" on the 10th to launch a huge new number of games in (what I assumed) would have been the last few hours. Many mods made games on the morning of the 8th, not knowing the event was over. It was on the morning of the 8th that Elric brought it to our attention that we were making new games in error, it was the afternoon of the 8th when BW took down the banner, and it was 21:27 when KA nuked the last waiting games.

ooge Whac a mod ended on the 7th and this game started on the 8th so it won't count bud.

We're good to get medals from this now, right? Games needed to finish by Feb 20?

Ah, I wasn't paying much attention to that. In a way, good job. I probably would have created the 40 games. Some things happened since, so I think I would have been in bigger trouble with missed turns had I done that. hah

Not to put words in BIG_John's mouth here.. but I think what he meant is.. when are they coming out? Were told stuff after Feb 20th wouldn't count so results have been final for a few weeks.

Yeah, looks like I have a pretty easy week at work this week so I'll look into it this week.

Usually for site-sponsored events KA has been handing out the medals lately, but if I have enough time I might even take it on myself.

One of the most popular events of all time. Of course it will be repeated.

All medals were handed out by March 22nd, I believe. Moving this to the archive now.
