MEGAEGG - An Easter Spectacular!

[KraphtOne]

don't let em get you down wham...

another suggestion though, (and it may not be doable) the battle royal games tend to take a few minutes to fill... sometimes quite a while to fill...

is there any way to increase how long until it kicks you out of the waiting list? i'll have it in the back window doing whatever and then come back to realize that even though i haven't logged out or left it has bumped me from the waiting list...

i think if it didnt bump for inactive but still online players they would fill faster...

like i say, if that's doable

good idea, let's try it.

by the way, anyone getting only 1 Egg for winning a BR is extremely unlucky... though it does not incorporate how long the game was.

Do the MEGAEGG battle royale's count towards the battle royale achievement medal? I've won 2 and it doesn't seem to have registered either.

Great event by the way. Will be tough to get into the final tournament but still very fun so far.

It will count. We actually had to put medal processing temporarily on hold to lighten the load during the event.

Note the upcoming Hoppy Hour....

Hoppy Hour

During certain times, perhaps due to ingesting some type of illicit bunny juice, the Bunny gets a jolt of manic energy and eggs begin to literally explode from every pore in his body. During Hoppy Hour, Eggs will be dropping out of the sky at a vastly increased rate.

Upcoming Hoppy Hours: Friday 23:00:00 - 23:59:59 CCT

Will the red egg tourney requirements be reduced if you don't have 64 people qualifying for it? I can't imagine that you'll get very many people who will play as much as I have, and I'm not even halfway there. There's no way that tourney will fill up unless the rate that they're given out go up. And if that's the case, it's very unfair to the people that played earlier at the lower rates.

64 was an error, it has already been changed.

Okay, well even 32 sounds pretty ambitious. I played a ton over the last couple days and I'm maybe halfway there. Right now I'm in the lead for the event, and I don't think I'll even qualify for that tourney. 32 people would not only have to overtake me, they'd have to get double the eggs that I have now. Doesn't seem plausible.

Edit: unless drop rates go up real fast, which (again) would be incredibly unfair to the people like me who put in our hours during the low-rate periods.

You are aware that is 7 am in Europe? And 6 am in UK ? Not really fair, if you ask me. Happy hour should be equally good for Americas and Europe, ie. 16-17 CCT

There will be a bunch of upcoming Hoppy Hours and they will be at different times. The next is at 09:00 CCT.

[Metalon]

Okay. New Event!

(Hint: answer me back with: "Yaaay, New Event!!!")

We haven't had anything for the loyal followers of our Facebook page yet, so here goes:

Br'er Dukasaur's Obscure Trivia Time

In preparation for the Easter celebration, it was obvious that most of the games would be on the Easter map. However, we also considered some other maps that have an Easter connection of one kind or another. There are 14 such maps. During the next 50 hours or so, I will at random times post graphics of these maps on Conquer Club's Facebook page.

How to Score
In order to win, you must be the first to post a reply to the map graphic ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE:

• Name the map
• Give a plausible reason why it was considered as an Easter map (What is its conceivable connection to Easter? The connection might be obvious or it might be obscure.)
• Include your CC username (so we can give you a prize! Obviously no CC username, no idea who to give the prize to.)

Prizes:
Each of the 14 winners will score between 5 and 10 eggs of their choice. The maps with more obvious Easter connections will score in the low end of that range, while the maps with more obscure connections will score in the high end of that range.

Rule Clarifications:
Just to be very clear and avoid misunderstandings, I will clarify any possible ambiguity:

1. You must answer on our Facebook page. There is nothing to be gained by answering in this thread, or by sending me PMs or Wall posts.
2. There are 14 maps, so 14 chances to win. The 14 chances to win will be quasi-randomly distributed over the next 50 hours (the random background noise of my life is just as chaotic as atmospheric noise, so running things according to my R/L schedule is just as good as random.com)
3. Only the FIRST correct answer for each map will win.
4. You may win a maximum of 3 times. After that, you will win no more prizes (although you're free to continue answering just for fun, but please wait and let the others get some answers in first.)
5. If you come up with a better answer than the one I thought of, I will still give you the point.

[spoiler=winners]Ireland, difficulty Easy, won by King Zvonimir,

Map is Ireland, obviously.
Reason: The Easter Uprising in 1916.
CC name: King Zvonimir

wins 6 stars (base is 4 for easy + random adjustment of 2.)

Holy Roman Empire, difficulty Easy, won by Osman76,

Map: Holy Roman Empire. Reason: Roman emperor Constantine determined a fixed date for the celebration of Easter (First Council of Nicea, 325 AD). Username: osman76

wins 8 eggs. (base is 5 for Easy + random adjustment of 3.) PM sent Sunday @0109. I will also award another egg to King Zvonimir, because I have now realized that I shorted him one. (base for Easy is 5 not 4 as announced above.)

Ancient Isreal, difficulty Very Easy, won by plurple

map: tribal wars israel
reason: every year at easter and the proceding holy week many pilgrims from all over the world flock to jerusalem. on palm sunday they reenact jesus's entrance into jerusalem. on friday there is a procession along via dolorosa. on saturday they enmass celebrate the ceremony of the holy fire, where they wait in anticipation for the lighting of patriarch's candle from within the tomb.
CCname: plurple

p.s my source for this was: http://www.goisrael.com/.../Pages/Easter%20in%20Israel.aspx

wins 6 eggs (base for Very Easy is 4 plus random adjustment of 2)

Third Crusade, difficulty level Moderate, won by Dakky21

Reason: Frederick I Barbarossa took up the Cross at Mainz Cathedral on 27 March 1188 (easter!) and was the first to set out for the Holy Land in May 1189 with an army of about 100,000 men, including 20,000 knights. An army of 2,000 men from the Hungarian prince Géza, the younger brother of the king Béla III of Hungary also went with Barbarossa to the Holy Land.
Username: dakky21

wins 9 eggs (base 9 for Moderate + random adjustment of 3)

13 Colonies, diff level Obscure, won by bdb

Brian Berry 13 colonies
The puritans banned any celebration, including Easter. In January 1645, a group of ministers declared: "festival days, vulgarly called Holy Days, having no warrant in the Word of God, are not to be continued." This was an attempt to distance themselves from Roman Catholicism.
bdb

wins 10 eggs (Obscure base 7 + random 3)

Celtic Nations, diff level Easy, won by Osman76

Osman Osmanoglou Map: Celtic Nations. Reason: Celtic and Roman Church had a disagreement over the date of Easter.So it was that in 664 a.d. a conference was called at the Monastery of St Hilda at Whitby. King Osway along with Bishops Colman and Chad represented the Celts. Alchfred, son of Osway and Bishops Wilfred and Agelbert represented Rome. The actual issue was not the date of Easter but whether the Celtic church should link its fortunes with the growing organization of Rome or the loosely compacted Irish church. Source: http://www.christianitysite.com/Celticchristianity.htm Username: osman76

wins 7 eggs (base 5 + random 2)

Pot Mosbi, diff level Obscure, won by Dakky21

Map: Classic cities: Pot Mosbi
Reason: In Papua New Guinea the old beliefs have blended with Christian beliefs that had been introduced in the last century, which now form unique traditions for this part of the world.
Username: dakky21

wins 8 eggs (base 7 for Obscure + 1 random)

Trench Warfare, difficulty level Obscure, won by plurple

Map: Trench wrafare
Reason: the reason this has anything to do with easter is that in 1917 easter was on april the 8th and on the following day that year during world war 1 the battle of arras took place which had been postponed by 1 day due to it being easter sunday.
CC name: plurple

wins 10 eggs (base 7 for Obscure, plus random adjustment of 3)[/spoiler]

[King Zvonimir]

I don't have time to play speed games, because cannot sit in front of PC few hours in the row. So, I don't see a way to collect enough eggs by tomorrow...

[Royal Panda]

So I've got the first 200 and joined the tourney. When getting the second 200 for a medal, do I just need 400 points total or does it have to be 40 of each again? Because I disappeared from the scoreboard...

[Dukasaur]

So far there have been very few contestants in my Obscure Trivia Event.

If you just gotta have some more eggs, give it a shot!

[Koganosi]

•Bot Games (very low chance, Bots don't believe in Bunnies or Eggs)
During egghappyhour, they seem to always grant 1.

Is it illegal to abuse this?

THE GOLDEN EGG HAS BEEN FOUND !!!

There is still a chance to get in on the action

The event FINISHES MIDNIGHT EASTER SUNDAY(cc time)

[King Zvonimir]

I have two proposals, if I may:
- include first 32 people on the list for the finals, regardless of having 200 points or not
- make pairs: 1 vs 32, 2 vs 31 etc. - that way your would honor those who won most, and secure that leaders cannot meet in the first couple of rounds...

[KraphtOne]

its not really those that "won" most... just the people crazy enough to create a ton of games

[ActionJackson007]

is there any consolation tournament/achievement for the few, the proud, the freemiums?
