HISTORY wrote:[January 3, 1924] two years after British archaeologist Howard Carter and his workmen discovered the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen near Luxor, Egypt, they uncover the greatest treasure of the tomb–a stone sarcophagus containing a solid gold coffin that holds the mummy of Tutankhamen.

When Carter first arrived in Egypt in 1891, most of the ancient Egyptian tombs had been discovered, although the little-known Pharaoh Tutankhamen, who had died when he was a teen, was still unaccounted for. After World War I, Carter began an intensive search for “King Tut’s Tomb,” finally finding steps to the burial room hidden in the debris near the entrance of the nearby tomb of King Ramses VI in the Valley of the Kings. On November 26, 1922, Carter and fellow archaeologist Lord Carnarvon entered the tomb, finding it miraculously intact.

Thus began a monumental excavation process in which Carter carefully explored the four-room tomb over four years, uncovering an incredible collection of several thousand objects. The most splendid architectural find was a stone sarcophagus containing three coffins nested within each other. Inside the final coffin, made out of solid gold, was the mummy of the boy-king Tutankhamen, preserved for more than 3,000 years.

It would have been nice to drip feed the platinum games.

All gone within 1 1/2 hours. What about the rest of the month !!!!!!!!

Hmm, they filled much quicker than I expected :)

Had a few initial ideas about how to make this work. I'll ponder some adjustments on my trip home today.

Concur with some of the sentiments about the platinum games, especially since the "info" button seemed to be non-existent for at least most of the whole first day

I think I should get Gold Token for winning Battle Royale Game 17104299, it had more than 20 players but all settings fits the requirements for the Gold token.

Can you please double check why that game is excluded from scoreboard?

Possibly because it's a CC11 game and already has awards for that.

Double awards are possible. For example, I got CC11 cake and a inventory star for winning the battle royale.

I requested tokens be awarded for the three reported games which follow and also to look at why the platinum tokens are not dropping correctly.

Game 16529474
Game 16529478
Game 17087748

Hope everyone is enjoying the New Year so far.

I have an observation ....

Why are the Platinum games being awarded ANY medal let alone a special one worth even more than the others?

The games do not even qualify according to the list of conditions listed to earn this month's Medal.

To qualify the games MUST be STANDARD, therefore the settings for most of the Platinum games do not qualify. I do not see anything in the instructions where there are exceptions to this STANDARD Setting rule.

EDIT: The problem related to the Platinum NOT being awarded automatically could also be related to my observation that they do not qualify as per the conditions listed in the 1st post.

SETTINGS
Maps: Egypt: Upper, Egypt: Lower, Egypt: Nubia, Egypt: Valley Of The Kings
Players per game: 2+
Game Type: Standard
Initial Troops: ANY
Play Order: ANY
Spoils: ANY
Reinforcements: ANY
FOG: ANY
TRENCH: ANY
Round Limit: ANY
Round Length: ANY

Thank you.


Pretty sure it doesn't qualify for a medal. Needs to be a Standard game, not a double.
