How did Josko get into Mega Egg Tourny

[Shannon Apple]

And maybe if Shannon gave her Apple to the Conquer Gods, she also would have enough eggs in return to make it to the Tourney.

Haha! I probably had close to enough without playing any games if I sacrificed some of the 100s of useless stars I have to the CC Gods. I have 10-11 of each. I made some eggs for the tourney, so got a good few as prizes. And another bunch as randoms for logging in etc. Real life had other plans for me, so I kinda let the opportunity to join the tournament slip.

The way of how can items for the event tournament be collected is explained in details in Valentines event:

Besides numerous other ways, this way is also clearly conmunicated as a possibility:
The Conquer Gods are always up for some action

The Easter tournament has no such detailed explanation, but hey, it neither explicitly tells that playing Eastern map, winning games, starting new games or such other methods will give you more eggs.

So if you want word of the letter then why assume that playing Easter map will give you more eggs, since it is nowhere written?

Now eat your jelaously and publicly apologize for calling me to be "above the law".

Some other players in this thread also admitted that they sacrificed stars to Conquer Gods, why dont you add their names in addition to my name to the thread title as well?

The Valentines Event is not equal to the Easter Event, as different site events have different rules. It would be logical to attempt to use some of the same strategies from one event to the next, but those cannot be guaranteed. This past Easter Event has essentially no listed guidelines. Just collect the eggs, basically. How are people supposed to know the full scope of the event when they aren't aware of all the options they can utilize? If one way to get eggs was for every minute you were in Live Chat, you got 1 egg, and only 10 people knew about it, and it wasn't publicly broadcasted, wouldn't you feel slighted too?

It would be like me asking you to write a dissertation on electromagnetism, and if you display Maxwell's Laws, you will potentially be worthy of me accepting your dissertation. That's a very broad response, and you absolutely would want to know the following things before you started:

• What does "display" mean?
• What are the confines of the explanation into Maxwell's equations? Can algebra suffice, or do things like multivariable calculus or Lagrangian densities need to be considered part of the eventual solution?
• Is there a physical demonstration that needs to be held of these properties?
• What kind of new technologies can be created/affected by these properties?
• etc.

I played a lot of games over the last couple of weeks and fell short by seven eggs. If I had known exchanging stuff was an option I obviously would have done it too.

CC really needs to advertise this stuff better.

[Dukasaur]

This isn't Josko's fault. It is what I marked before about the Easter Tournament.

And I also played tons of games on the Easter Map. But on the other hand I also gave a lot of Inventory to the Conquer Gods. So if you played a lot games in the past, and you didn't spend the earned stars for Auto Tournaments, it's free to turn them in for eggs.

The only sad thing about that is that it is not commonly known that this opportunity is available as no-one is informed in the Easter Topics.

And maybe if Shannon gave her Apple to the Conquer Gods, she also would have enough eggs in return to make it to the Tourney.

The fact that this was such a secret is pathetic.

How did anyone find out about this back door, and why wasnt it publicly posted?

Unfortunately the webmaster doesn't communicate. We all know this.

In the past, we've (meaning the mods) done our best to do it for him and announce things as soon as we find out about them. Unfortunately, we've all gotten tired of doing it and nobody seems to be doing it this year.

I found out about the sacrificing because some guys were talking about it in Gen Chat. Which I guess is the takeway from this -- make sure you're active in Gen Chat during events. In the past, the lifeblood of this site was the forum, but those days are gone. Now it's Gen Chat. Stay active. Or at least stalk there, like I do..

Thanks for the explanation, but oh wow.

Shannon being Josko protector shot

LMAO! I don't think Josko needs protection. He's perfectly capable of running his mouth on the forums.



It might seem that way to xroads though. It's entertaining for me seeing him rage so much over absolutely nothing. Then when anyone calls him out on his obsession it's like "everyone's sticking up for him, it's not fair" and stomps around like a toddler.

And now the *tiny violins play "I just can't wait to be king"*

[xroads]

Nah, it's just the rimmer's who are always so quick to stick up for him no matter what.

[Shannon Apple]

Nah, it's just the rimmer's who are always so quick to stick up for him no matter what.

And cantankerous, gross old men that never make threads about anything except when it's about their single obsession. And then resort to the speaking from the gutter when they don't get their way. You're really disgusting.

The rage posting is hilarious though. Keep it classy!

As I said, it was neither written that "playing bunch of Easter maps" would give you more eggs. If you are so literal and take only what is explicitly written, why then assume that playing bunch of Easter maps will give you more eggs?

Someone other than me actually sees this?

And Shannon, it's so easy to see and exploit your triggers. In the real world, you must melt at the first time someone offends you.

I know I would. Now, I happened to hear about donating stars for event items from one of the first players I played with, but I had no idea it wasn't a known thing or previously announced. I join hundreds of Easter games every year and I doubt I'd ever have enough eggs to join the final tournament without donating to the Gods. Post from 2019.

I think the whole procedure is wrong for the Mega-Egg Tournament.

Well first I wonder where the standings are. I finished 2nd after roprotem. So when will I be informed and get the Challenge Achievement and Green Star?

Marks about the whole set-up:
1) Entering the Mega-Egg Tournament is very difficult for Freemium players
2) Collecting is very Random. So collecting 18 eggs of each type is a bit of a luck game
3) With testing your luck with the Conquer Gods you can get a lot of eggs, without playing games during the Easter period
4) Bunny Hopper games are hard to fill
5) People sign up for Bunny Hopper speed games and get eggs at the start, but deadbeat
6) Some Bunny Hopper games will end after the closing of the Easter Challenge. So you won't receive eggs when they end
7) Small Speed Tournament are hard to fill. Can take ages. So no fun to wait on that.
8( If you sign-up for a lot of games you can get a lot of eggs at the start

What could be a solution for making the Challenge more fair:
Don't make different types of eggs
Let players join Special Tournaments in which they can collect eggs and make this the only way to collect them.
Make a maximum amount of Special Tournaments a player can join.
Players collect eggs for how far they get in the Tournament. For instance a 16 Player Tournament. 1 Egg for entering. 2 Extra for reaching Round 2. 3 Extra for the Semi-Finals. 4 Extra for reaching the Final and 5 Extra for Winning.
Also make different types of Tournaments: Doubles, Triples, Quads, Terminator, Assassin etc.

Marks about the Mega-Egg Finale:
It takes a lot of time to get to the Finale Tournament and when you are unlucky it can be over in 1 game or even 2 games. Result no rewards.
If you are lucky you survive 2 games and get big rewards.
That's very awkward in my opinion. Let players play more games. For instance 5 games in Round 1 against different opponents and then let the best 16 advance. This way it is less luck-based then just playing 1 game.

The standings link disappearing and people literally having no way to find it is just ridiculous. This is just one example of something that should be transparent and viewable by all, in my opinion. HERE is that link.

These holiday events could be truly amazing, with just a bit of passion and work. I have offered in the past to help to no real avail, and I will once again offer to help revamp these events. For Easter, the final tournament for sure should not be so luck based and should be more games. The speed tournaments need to be smaller or just not be "speed". I wasn't even able to join my favorite one this year, the polymorphic one...the closest I ever saw it get was 3 more players needed. Some build up to the main event with small tournaments played on the Easter map (before it officially opens) with eggs for prizes at each tier would definitely be a positive thing.

[Iron Maid]

Thanks for the explanation groovysmurf. Keep up the good work!

I personally was a bit dissappointed that the Saint Patrick's Day Map didn't show up this year. But hopefully something will change one day that brings more people to this site, to make Conquer Club great again. (Sorry for using these words).
