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

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.

Yep. Tough to beat 100%.

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

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

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 :?

In case you haven't noticed. You're a MOD.

You should be creating the games not joining them :shock: :shock: :shock:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
