Whac-A-Mod 2014

Brought to you by the Community Team

Whac-A-Mod 2014 Is Here!

Regular Players get their chance to take on Team CC by joining Whac-A-Mod Games from May 26 to June 1.

Stand up and give these despicable Mod beasts some serious smackdown!

The Mods may think they are running the show, but now you can show them where to run... away! From your games! In trembling fear! With a series of mortal wounds!

Top Whackers will get a place in the Whac-A-Mod Showdown, a final all-in team tournament to decide who rules CC - The Mods or The Players.

How Whac-A-Mod works:

  • Games are joined from the Whac-A-Mod event banner on the top of My Games (starting May 26)
  • Get Play Tokens when Games Start (on or before June 1) and Win Tokens when you Win (on or before June 30)
  • Scoring is via Whac % (Wins Tokens/Play Tokens) with a qualifier of 7 Play Tokens
  • Collect 7 Play Tokens + 2 Win Tokens and score a General Achievement
  • The Top 7 Players with 40 Play Tokens or more win a Challenge Achievement
  • The Score Leader gets a Green Star
  • Top 32 Players and Top 16 Mods gain entry to the Whac-A-Mod Showdown!

Problem #1 games are still appearing even though all available players are in/reserved.

Also I find a lot of games are player reserved which further restricts access.

Pretty sure I will find more problems as the thing goes on this year.

These definitely should not allow reserved spots as it's always been first come first serve

nO AVAIL GAMES AS OF 10:15 am 5/26/14 .....giveN demand outstrips supply, might be worth limiting # of games a player can join to a few a day; or if too hard to code at least posting a suggestion in the banner , so no one joins 20 games ...
I wish either my father or my mother, or indeed both of them as they were in duty both equally bound to it, had minded what they were about when....

you run onto this problem each time. Its a 3 day event but games are only available 1 day. Than everyone joins the games leaving no games for some players. In the past years, you only needed to win one game but could only join one game at a time for the medal so no big deal. Now you need to collect X amount of tokens. Good luck trying to fulfill that requirement with limited games.

This has been rather badly put together.. On the my games page you don't even know if you're joining a 1v1, multiplayer or team game, and you don't know who against either. The graphics for the entire event are terrible too, sorry.

I saw one available game pop up, but when I tried to join it asked for a password. Am I missing something?

Event games have to be joined from the Event Banner.

A game popped up on the banner, I clicked it, it asked for a password. Maybe I clicked something wrong...
By the way I've only seen that one game pop up... I hope there are more or that a limit is imposed on the number of games any one person can join (as someone proposed earlier).

I guess what must have happened was I clicked on the game to see what kind of game it was and THEN clicked to join. If I'm understanding correctly I should have clicked join on the banner.

There is currently at least one game up with no password and you cannot access it through the banner.

Yes, click on the word "Join", not on the game itself.

Mistakes will be made, and they will be fixed.

I've been online most of the day and managed to join just one game all day. I've not seen any more games other than the one I joined. How is it, that some people have 10s, and near 100s of games played, all prior to when I was looking for games at roughly 0600 conquer club time?

I saw a couple and simply joined even though it is not what I normally play just so I have some kind of a chance to win a medal. Not sure when games will be created since we are almost 1/3 of the way through on time.
