do you always need a password or to be invited for this?

Some are in game finder with passwords. Others are invited thru a forum area / challenge.
Or Facebook, Twitter feeds.

But there are lots of others that show up in the banner on front page they just tend to fill very quickly. Making 5 @ a time they tend to be grabbed before I can even accept my own invite

you run onto this problem each time. Its a 3 day event but games are only available 1 day. Than everyone joins the games leaving no games for some players. In the past years, you only needed to win one game but could only join one game at a time for the medal so no big deal. Now you need to collect X amount of tokens. Good luck trying to fulfill that requirement with limited games.

I have had the same story, never seen available games

And even though JOHNNYROCKET24 has complained so much he some how has managed to join no fewer than 21 games.... seems somewhat hypocritical doesn't it?

yes. big thanks to the 1 mod that gave me half of those games. Now if can get the passwords to the rest and start using the banner to join the games it would be a big help.

grt is going to be tough to beat, though. He joined exactly 7 games, has won 5, and 2 are still playing. The board has him at 71%, but he's actually a perfect 5 for 5 so far!

Yep. Tough to beat 100%.

Does anyone know what the final all-in Whac-A-Mod Showdown is going to look like?

He's got a game against me I'll do my best to ensure not 100%

So no one else gets a game sweet!

I have tried to get in multiple games all needed a PW. First off I would like to say this is the worst challenge CC has came up with. Why would all the games have not have the same PW ? The PW has changed and if not sitting here ( like some people) hoarding the games, how the hell do you get one ? Please think this over next time cause this is so this is not so lame

[lokisgal]

Yep this is really poorly organized. Not enough games to go around. In the past there have been limits to the amount of games you can join so that everyone can get in on the fun. Whats even worse is the games are very sporadically posted. Hard to find any to join and Im on here multiple times in a day . I feel lucky to have found the 5 or 6 I have. The old way was better allowing you to only join a limited amount of games and only needing to whack 1 mod. It gave everyone a chance not just the people who have the time to wait around all day and then join 20 or more games. By offering extra to the people with the most you cut off the people who cant be online every moment. There is no community in this challenge. Suggest you dont offer medals for most points in something this short it just cuts people out and I dont think that was the intention
If I can ever get enough for a medal I wont be joining after that - Im not a ball hog

Another fail in conducting a a challenge

Is this real I need to go to Facebook or Twitter to find a game? This is odd so I pay to CC but need to get on Facebook to find special games?

Maybe I can only get a game if I get a invite to a nuke all bases Trench, I sure love those settings!!!

The Top 7 Players with 40 Play Tokens or more win a Challenge Achievement

Does it mean I need to play at least 40 games to get a Challenge achivement?

Also, it seems we are ranked by winning %.
What about multiplayer game? By clicking on the banner I've been added to a 12 players doubles games. I have pretty low % of winning them. A bit unfair compare to people joining 1vs1 games.

Also, the join banner doesn't really tell every settings on the game you're joining. Would be better if it was a bit clearer.

Thanks for the challenge.

Not all games, but I think there's been a few.

Yes 40 for challenge, but 7 is min requirements for the event and a chance to win.
It is by win %

Ive found 5 yes 5 games and Im on here at least 6 times a day. The 5th I had to ask a mod to invite me . So sad that those of us who want to do this keep getting cut out by the way this is set up which encourages people to hog the ball so to speak

another poorly run event..


ps accepting invites from mods - sigh - sad I have to ask..

I've got in a grand total of four games. Three because chemefreak started a thread willing to play anyone and another because Dukasaur did the same.

[IcePack]

Still 4 days left in the event so if your 1/2 there 1/2 way through the event it sounds like you've got a good chance of getting the games needed.

[Leehar]

Wall me if you have less than 7 games and need some. I'll create & invite those who honestly do need to get to 7.

Note: I don't usually play games rt, so don't expect the games to finish quickly.
Note2: It most likely won't be a map you like, as it's more about which maps I can get practice on, since I'll rarely create the same map twice.

[IcePack]

Just added another 50 games, all via the banner open to anyone.

Edit: Make that 75, added some classic.

[belize]

What is the password? If its open to all there shouldn't be a password

[IcePack]

What is the password? If its open to all there shouldn't be a password

There is a join button on the my games page that you just click "join". It needs a PW to be put on the banner, but once it's there no PW is needed just click join on the banner games.

Since you missed out I'll find out what you wanted to join and make a new one for you with an invite

[trinicardinal]

Because the games have to be defined as tournament games for site purposes they MUST carry a password... Ideally the password for an open game would have been listed in the game title but its possible the mod forgot or posted it somewhere else

[Tobikera]

Any mods want to play Berlin 1961, auto, seq, foggy, ESC, chained, no trench? If so, please set them up. I need 5 more games. Thanks to the mods who set up my first two!!

[DJPatrick]
