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.


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

In addition to the medals, 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 groovysmurf.

Link to join games are wrong.

[lokisgal]

the gold link takes me to last months challenge

[boow]

is there no specific reasoning for this one?

[groovysmurf]

There is no historical reasoning for this one, just something we thought would be fun.

Sorry about the links, they're fixed now.

[Domingos!]

I like the map, this challenge will be fun!

I wasn't paying attention, but system stopped giving me a token for a victory. In these games I haven't got a token:
Game 20379431, Game 20378799, Game 20377983, Game 20315212

What's wrong with these games?

Pretty much each monthly challenge has a dates timeframe the game should start, in this one game must start:

Games must start between CC Time: 2020-09-01 09:00:00 and CC Time: 2020-09-30 23:59:59 to be considered for the challenge.

each challenge description state dates and can be found at the bottom of the main post.

I see now. I learned in some public thread that the monthly challenge lasts until the end of the next month. But it was misunderstanding. Next month is only a cushion for games started in the first (and only!) month of the challenge...
But I also have one older game where I forgot to put a round limit (round limit is totally unnecessary on that map and that settings). I could still win some terminator game, though. I still play about 15 of those...
But it will be an irony if I win one or two terminator games, just day or two later than I should. And finish with 70 points and no medal...

All medals and awards issued. Thanks to all who participated!
