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.

In addition to the CA medal, the first place finisher receives: 1 Green Conquer Star

And the 2nd-5th place finishers receive: 1 Blue Conquer Star


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 CatchersMitt14.

I participate in all the M medals but this one requires around 50 games to accomplish and these being maps I am not good on I will have to take a pass.

wtf why is a round limit required... now i have 0 tokens from 60+ games I started playing already. This is the most absurd requirement...

I fail to see the issue as the round limit requirement was present when the challenge was posted.

Isn't that what all these challenges are: a collection of arbitrary, if not absurd, setting requirements? That's kind of the whole point.

(But also, that really sucks that you have that many games that barely miss qualifying.)

#17340637 Why did this win not qualify for a medal?

You forgot the round limit.

guys and gals when you make a game for these challenges then go to waiting games for these challenges if your game is there then you know you will get credit for a win

Question.

If games are made before the end of April (made and started), do they still count towards the challenge? I made a bunch of games, hoping I win at least one, especially the terminator, assassins & standards which are the hardest for me to win personally... But what if they all go south and I have to squeeze some in before the end to get this medal... whats the cut off date?

This is my first monthly challenge, so sorry if its a nub question.

You have the whole month to start games. As long as they start before the end of the month, you have another month to finish them.

In other words, games for the April Challenge will count as long as they begin by April 30th and as long as they finish my May 31st.

I would just add I would not make games with a trench setting the last week of the month as they may take over a month to complete

They all have a 20-round limit, which is correct, or should be, according to the description. Is it coded wrong?

I just used game finder and located those five games. They all came up as private games which is why they will not count for the challenge.

Just an idea for the next challenge of this type. Maybe 8 out of 10 tokens to get the CA medal?
The 10 out of 10 really seems restrictive, no?

Especially if its as hard as this one... I suck at Feudal.. no surprise here.

This event was rank suicide for me, chances for me winning these 8 player epics was horrible.

Don't want to complain but, just a little venting...

This was designed as a challenge with a high level of difficulty. We aim for variety, some months being more difficult to earn the CA than others. Also attempting to vary the type of difficulty, this month that variation provided by requiring ten different tokens from ten different map and setting combinations.
