How Difficult do you Want the Challenge to be?

[DoomYoshi]

This month's challenge will give the medal out in 14%*** of attempts. It's probably a bit too tough.

What level would make you most interested?

[betiko]

I didn t play this month because it seemed too complicated. Win 9/19 (about 50% win expectancy) with 1/3 chances to win each game and repeated so many times. The delta between the expected win rate and the win rate needed to get the challenge is too high.

I think you need to take this into consideration. I d say next time you should win 7/18 in 3 player games to give an example.


Oh, and in you pole, you need to say out of how many players/teams otherwise it s too vague.

[GioDuce]

The numbers that Betiko suggesting looks GOOD to me.

Now they are only a little bit to hard to keep going for it Every month over and over.

A bunch of the games sometimes go over 2 Months depending the Challenge,
Then you come around 50 gameload very fast for Challenges only.

People are going to the challenge thread, that's why this poll was started. I believe DY wanted to create a separate thread for the poll and the announcements forum is hardly the ideal place for that.

good, point proven... if they are going there, no need to clutter up the GD with the usual overflow crap from other forums... and the poll should be in the thread where people are signing up and visiting in the mass numbers... BOOM!!!-el Jesus negro

The poll would be, but editing the OP in announcements would go unnoticed for the most part, even if DY told people about the poll. Besides, GD is full of so much crap these days [even though GD is where it belongs] that I don't see any harm in adding this poll here.

just like the "name the bot" thread and all the other threads having to do with the Foundry or the Newsletter or Announcements... hey, i get it... this is the last place in the forums that CC's efforts haven't totally killed off outside of off-topics...-el Jesus negro

something non GD related that they claim has high traffic in another forum... YET, they still had the need to spam up the GD with it, for some reason... you know, the usual crap that goes on with the abuse of the areas of the forum that people visit... i thought that whole plan of moving sub forums above the GD to increase their traffic was a roaring success... however, the person that promised the data has since retired and those stats will never see the light of day... *cough*...-0

p.s.-video footage from that team CC meeting where they discuss the moving of sub forums above the GD to increase the traffic

Are there any moderators on this site anymore? Or have they joined the programmers in trying to violate all add ons.....

Move this thread, and the OP needs a warning for trolling.

Good lord...some of you act like children. Who cares where the thread is? Nobody requires you to read it and the title makes it quite clear what you will find inside. Quit finding reasons to bitch. Something many of you do quite well...

[tzor]

You know, in the "good old days" (which were neither all that good nor really all that old ... they didn't have computers in the "old" days ... they didn't even have printing presses) if someone were to complain about the entertainment coordinator's placement of a post the mods would show them to the shed in the back and pull out the cat of nine tails. I mean if this isn't a "general" poll I don't know what is. Announcements go in announcements, that's intuitively obvious to a casual observer.

i think members of the GD care a great deal where threads are... especially when moderators are continually moving threads to appropriate forums, etc... the irony of Team CC abusing their power and placing threads where they clearly don't belong, due to higher traffic volume, can not be lost on you... it matters.... it matters a great deal.. bad enough i have spam from Team CC forced into my inbox, they don't need to also spam up the forums... i can however see how a member with less than 400 total posts could care less about the forum and where threads are... but those of us that spend a great deal of time in here and have dealt with numerous moderators and their odd interpretation of the rules, actually care. i can't go into the Foundry and post a "HAPPY BDAY" thread, but they can post AND STICKY foundry related threads in here. i can't go to the suggestions forum and post a Dice Bitch thread, but they can post AND STICKY Sugg threads in here. i can't go to the SOC forum and post a general congrats thread in there, but they can post AND STICKY a SOC thread in here... the mods abuse their power when they post/sticky topics from other threads in the GD. members have been banned for posting threads in the wrong forum, so it does matter.. we don't act like children, we act like members that don't want to see mods abuse their power and not follow the same rules that we have to follow...-Jésus noir

Perhaps there is some confusion on what exactly is meant to be posted in GD? Perhaps the definition has changed, or maybe certain individuals have never fully grasped what GD is meant for.

Owen, why don't you post your version of what should and should not be allowed in GD? I'm looking for something definitive, so a short one line answer will not suffice. I want something that can be used as a guideline. And then perhaps, we could have a global mod post their definition.

I agree that threads are bounced around, seemingly at random at times. Perhaps something clearly laid out is needed. And it is possible that either you misunderstand how this forum is meant to be used, or this current batch of mods use this forum differently than before, and this is the new normal. Either way, we, the Forum Users, could use some clarification.

Bollocks.

this is an announcement about a challenge that already has a post/sticky in another portion of the forum. they then posted in here for some reason.. oh, the high traffic... this is now an additional sticky for an already existing topic within another portion of the forum. it is even listed when you go to the COMMUNITY page at the very top with a link to the challenge: http://www.conquerclub.com/public.php?mode=events

so, if this is some sort of additional ANNOUNCEMENT, then place it in ANNOUNCEMENTS... please tell me that you agree with the mods posting/sticky-ing topics from other forums within the GD... the rules for posting in GD are pretty clear, they hve never changed... the mods just continually choose to ignore them...-Jésus noir

sorry, wasn't avoiding your question!!! if you go to the guidelines on posting in the forums, the rules are clearly laid out... this thread violates this rule:

E: SPAMMING SPECIFICS
Posting the same thing over and over in the same or other forum topics.

this information is posted on the COMMUNITY page with a big ass link to the thread, which then has it's own page!! you know, the COMMUNITY tab that replaced the FORUM TAB? kind of funny that forum users bitched about the Forum tab being moved for the COMMUNITY tab... guess this team figured that by placing COMMUNITY in the place of the FORUM they would increase traffic to that area... kind of like when they moved other sub forums above the GD to increase traffic. logic being that people click on the first thing they see... this event is being advertised all over CC and has multiple direct links within the forums and it's own ANNOUNCEMENTS thread. odd that they place it in the GD, the most visited part of the forum and not in other sub forums. it is a violation of the rules. just like the last BOT thread they sticked, this should not be in here...-Jésus noir

p.s.-yes, i do get the irony in my ranting about the rules and then my violating the "double post" rule... *snicker*

I will have to disagree with that statement. If you had said "I think a very small percentage GD members care a great deal" then maybe we could have shared agreement. This is a game on the internet. As you do not have to actually open the thread I am not sure why it bothers? Maybe the mods can by hypocrites, but why care???

[betiko]

why don't you guys give doom a rest, he is trying to improve something game related he is working on. I mean it's fine to banter and shit, but he's doing this on his free time after having some initiatives for the site, it's not his job, he is just another user just like you guys.

wait!! i forgot about the Banner on every users Game Page too!!! ugh...-Jésus noir

Not true. This thread is about future challenges. Only past challenges have posts or stickys in other parts of the forum.
