Thank you! (and since I have many more games than I normally would, I may be a bit of a pushover - so many mice, only one Cat - just sayin'... )

Edit: only ONE more game needed for twenty! Please? Pretty please?

Edit: I've got 20 - all set! thanks to all the mods who sent me invites!

Two hours left to join games. Any game starting after midnight will not count, so if you have outstanding invites, accept them now.

[hopalong]

thank you to all the mods who took on an insane amount of games over the last week! the challenge wood knot work without all of you going above and beyond the call of reasonable duty.
give yerselves a drab star each, on me.

0/2 against groovysmurf. Great player. I'll try again next year.

How you expect this event to work when there aren't any fucking games to join?

Like I said in the other thread, there are 23 mods (some not active) and 4800 members waiting to Whac them. It can't work, mathematically. Some of the mods do great efforts and make tons of games, but mathematically there will never be enough to go around.

Keep trying. Every time I log in I make a few games, and others do the same.

It might not be perfect no matter how you do it but it would work WAY better if there was a limit on how many games each player is allowed to play.

4800 members waiting to Whac a Mod??? Let's do some math.... 2.5 days left? out of 7 = 65% complete so far?...

Current Scoreboard has 8 players that have gotten in 20 games already with another another 4 players within reach of getting to 20 games at the rate the have been getting into them....

12/4800 = .0025%

Games of the 8 players that have qualified for the bigger prizes so far... 23, 20, 65, 83, 44, 29, 42, 20 = 326

I counted 662 games started by Mods on scoreboard so far... 326/662 = 49% of games started through the first 65% of the event has gone to 8 players ... 22% of the games started have the same 2!!! players in them

Yup. Sounds real fair, doesn't it?

In the old days, back when Gilligan ran this event and it was actually fun, people would apply for games in the thread, and then the organizers would send out invites, making sure everybody got a game who asked for one. Nobody got their second game until everybody got their first, nobody got their third until everybody had their second, and so on. Speed games were open to all comers but 24-hour games were parcelled out.

Then we switched to the current grindfest model and everything went to shit. The mods are forced to crank out ridiculous numbers of games in a hopeless attempt at satisfying the demand, but the demand is never satisfied because a few people snap up most of the games and most people still don't get a chance to play. Whenever I've pointed out that it's a rotten system and we should go back to the old way, I'm told than I'm trying to destroy people's freedom to choose how many games to play and who to play them with. Maybe I'm just a fascist asshole and an enemy of freedom and I can't help myself.

Anyway, I do my share. I keep my mouth shut (well, not entirely shut, lol) and crank out lots of games, even though I don't enjoy any of them. 8 members got 49% of the games? I knew it was bad, but I didn't actually look how bad. Thanks for doing the math, elat. Maybe if there's some pressure from the members things will change. God knows, nobody's going to listen to a freedom-destroying asshole like me.

Would it be possible to at least set up a cap? I'm thinking just like an auto-tournament doesn't allow you to enter if you don't match requirements, maybe you could be prevented from joining further games if you have a certain number of play tokens. I have no idea if it can be implemented into regular games though.
Thanks to all the mods for participating

I see that additional price are only available for players with 20 games played.
Having a look at the scoreboard, very few no-mods were able to get that many games.

Don't you think it was a bit high to achieve ? Seems player ranked 49th on the scoreboard will get a prize for being "top ranked 7" with 20 tokens.

Question:
does the prices go only for Players (community) or the Mods can get the prices?

The major prizes can only be awarded to the Community. Mods do get the basic GA medal if they meet the criteria, and an extra GC medal if they make 50 games. The cash prizes and the stars are reserved only for non-mods.

Correct

[jricart]

Man..that 20+ game sucks because I asked every single Mod to accept the challenge and I only managed to get 13 games.
Well, I guess Mods were a little scared to accept the challenge....pussies!

We're still looking at possible designs for you, but this is my favourite so far.
