FAQs:

Who can play a Challenge?
Challenges are open to everyone!

How do I join?
No signups required. Join and/or create games that meet the given parameters for this month as found in the OP. Only public games count towards the challenge unless otherwise explicitly stated in the challenge OP. There is also a "join games" link in the OP to provide an easy list of qualifying games.

What are the prizes?
All players who meet or exceed the minimum number of required points for the month will earn a Challenge Achievement Medal. The point requirements change every month as we aim to provide a vast assortment of challenges which includes a varying level of difficulty.
Image

Site Event Medals are awarded to the top three finishers on the challenge scoreboard.
1st: Image
2nd: Image
3rd: Image


In addition to the medals, the first place finisher receives: 1 Green Conquer Star
Image
And the 2nd-5th place finishers receive: 1 Blue Conquer Star
Image

When do I get my prize?
My goal is always to award prizes during the week following the completion of the event.

How do we deal with deadbeating?
Please report deadbeats in your games by sending me a PM. I will periodically do a random check however I cannot monitor every game. We will evaluate the distribution of prizes to a violating player on a case by case basis.

Tiebreakers?
Ties are awarded to the player who reached the point threshold first.

A player has me foed and it is preventing me from joining a lot of challenge games. What can I do?
PM the player in question. Be courteous and non-accusatory, ask why you are foed. Do your best to resolve any issues with the other user in this manner. However, if they decided not to remove you from their foe list then you will need to join games without that player or start your own.

What if I want to run a parallel tournament to the challenge?
Okay, awesome! Individual tournaments can be added to the challenges so that those games drop tokens. Send me a PM and we will get it added for the month.

Rulings:
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
2. Wins by round limit will drop tokens.
3. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of the year.
4. Bot games do not drop tokens.
5. Any unforeseen abuse is still abuse. Don't take advantage of the system.

If you have any further questions or issues not covered here please either post in the active challenge thread or PM groovysmurf.

1. This forum topic is not yet linked to event page .
https://www.conquerclub.com/public.php? ... ent_id=125

2. Event page waiting games links loading search with wrong settings.
For example :
Event page Silver token waiting game link pointing t o search a map named chicago. But forum topic mentioned different map for silver token. Seems something wrong
.
Also on the start games page, you will notice Chicago map is tagged as *Event
.
Some other settings loading with waiting games links from event page also seems different from what mentioned in forum post.

The forum topic isn't linked because bigWham hasn't yet been on to do that. He usually comes on in the early morning so it's a fair bet it will be done tomorrow morning.

I have PM'd him regarding the Chicago map being selected rather than Monsters so hopefully that will also be fixed in the morning. Monsters is the map for the silver/monster token, NOT Chicago.

wow ; way too tough ; need 11 wins in 6 player games ; so average player needs 66 games in a month … i'm sure none of us would need that many games as we are all above average in conquer club, but still.....
I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when....

If 2 player fog game,please allow 12 hour snap courtesy, or post what I could have seen.... Thank you

It is very tough. The scoring was supposed to be a lot different than two years ago, but things kind of got away from me a bit. Very sorry for that. The scoring was the reason we didn't do any companion tournaments for this month, too, but then we totally could have because we just went back to the norm. :(

Two years ago, the original "Chills, Thrills and Kills" and the first challenge I was really in charge of, we did still have 20 people who got the medal. So, you can do it! :)

It's still a damn good looking Challenge!

The map choice is really good and fits the theme. The theme, of course, is Halloween, and that is many people's 2nd favourite holiday (and some people's 1st favourite!) The required score is tough enough to require some effort but not a brutal slog.

This year's masthead by EBConquer is amazing.

All in all, a great-looking Challenge. Awesome that it was your first effort -- I'd say you hit a stand-up double on your first at-bat! No reason not to re-run this every two or three years!
:D

Probably just a glitch. Thanks for letting us know. We'll let bigWham know asap.

The first year allowed triples games though... which reduced dramatically the expected number of games.

It would have been better in hindsight to include team games again as we only had 9 people who qualified for the medal.

Thanks to all who participated. All medals and awards have been issued.
