What is behind all this? forcing newcommers to buy premium in order to complete the insane amount of games you need to play per month for these challenges?
The challenge is to be dumb enough to join over 100 of these each month win or lose now... thanks but no thanks.

The monthly challenges are entirely DY's domain. The Whac-a-Mod was all about quantity as well, and it was a joke. I appreciate that the aim is to get more people involved and improve activity on the site, but quality is much more valued than quantity, especially long term.

I am really not sure doom is to blame here, I'm pretty sure he's just going the way BW is asking.
There is a stat i'd really like to know....... what is the average amount of active games for active premium members?
personally, I don't like having over 20. When I used to play those challenges I went up to 35 active games, which was still ok and for a limited time of the month.

This.
When Doom was running the challenges, the philosophy was that anyone could earn a challenge medal, and the medal requirements were geared to what a normal person could handle. When BW took them over he completely turned the philosophy around 180 degrees. He wants the challenge medal to be an elite medal that only the most dedicated players can get. Doom is still writing the creative part of the challenges, but BW is controlling the medal requirements. They are intentionally difficult.

I don't understand the problem. Do you think you could get out of jail and become elected President of a nation of 30 million if you were a lone wolf who didn't know how to build a team?

Actually, yeah. I have his book. Read it twice. And in the 70s and 80s when a lot of the events were taking place I was a politically-aware type. So I ask again, what exactly is the problem?
