Can we get some more non-speed featured games?

As near as I can tell, if you don't have the time to play speed games, one is excluded. I haven't seen a bunny and I have been all over the site. Next time just put up front, " if you can't live on your computer, don't bother. ".

There is a reason I have over 5000 games and haven't even made silver in speed.

HOPPING DOWN THE FINAL STRETCH

As the battle heats up on the scoreboard, watch out for those Featured Games and upcoming Hoppy Hours to snaffle your last required Eggs.

Also there will 1 special speed auto called EPIC EGGZ, with a huge egg payout.

I don't think one would want to put the bomb eggs in one's mouth.

For those looking for some last-minute eggs, there are some very good chances here.

There are still 4 maps that have not been answered correctly, and there are still 2 more maps to be posted!

Dukasaur wrote:Okay. New Event!

(Hint: answer me back with: "Yaaay, New Event!!!") :lol:

We haven't had anything for the loyal followers of our Facebook page yet, so here goes:

Br'er Dukasaur's Obscure Trivia Time

In preparation for the Easter celebration, it was obvious that most of the games would be on the Easter map. However, we also considered some other maps that have an Easter connection of one kind or another. There are 14 such maps. During the next 50 hours or so, I will at random times post graphics of these maps on Conquer Club's Facebook page.

How to Score
In order to win, you must be the first to post a reply to the map graphic ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE:
  • Name the map
  • Give a plausible reason why it was considered as an Easter map (What is its conceivable connection to Easter? The connection might be obvious or it might be obscure.)
  • Include your CC username (so we can give you a prize! Obviously no CC username, no idea who to give the prize to.)

Prizes:
Each of the 14 winners will score between 5 and 10 eggs of their choice. The maps with more obvious Easter connections will score in the low end of that range, while the maps with more obscure connections will score in the high end of that range.

Rule Clarifications:
Just to be very clear and avoid misunderstandings, I will clarify any possible ambiguity:
  1. You must answer on our Facebook page. There is nothing to be gained by answering in this thread, or by sending me PMs or Wall posts.
  2. There are 14 maps, so 14 chances to win. The 14 chances to win will be quasi-randomly distributed over the next 50 hours (the random background noise of my life is just as chaotic as atmospheric noise, so running things according to my R/L schedule is just as good as random.com)
  3. Only the FIRST correct answer for each map will win.
  4. You may win a maximum of 3 times. After that, you will win no more prizes (although you're free to continue answering just for fun, but please wait and let the others get some answers in first.)
  5. If you come up with a better answer than the one I thought of, I will still give you the point.

You need 200 Bunny Points. To get any Bunny Points you need 40 of each Egg.

I can't imagine that you'll get very many people who will play as much as I have, and I'm not even halfway there. There's no way that tourney will fill up unless the rate that they're given out go up. And if that's the case, it's very unfair to the people that played earlier at the lower rates.


64 was an error, it has already been changed.


Okay, well even 32 sounds pretty ambitious. I played a ton over the last couple days and I'm maybe halfway there. Right now I'm in the lead for the event, and I don't think I'll even qualify for that tourney. 32 people would not only have to overtake me, they'd have to get double the eggs that I have now. Doesn't seem plausible.

Edit: unless drop rates go up real fast, which (again) would be incredibly unfair to the people like me who put in our hours during the low-rate periods.


Well BW, you and I both did better than I predicted. I put in way more time than I expected when I wrote this post. And your tourney got a lot closer to filling than I thought it would. Granted both of these were helped with the invention of "Hoppy Hours." And I'm guessing the drop rates might've increased a little at some point.

(And the tourney may just fill up depending on the winner of this Epic Eggz tourney with those high prize levels.)

All in all, it was a fun event. Not sure I'll ever try to do one of these again though ... that was a long weekend :)

Congrats to all who made it, and good luck in the battle for the Red Star!

MEGAEGG FINALE

For those that missed, or just wanting something to do with your leftover eggs, the consolation tourney has been released:

Bunny Droppings

Remember, you can still get GAs and CAs by scoring 200 and 400 Bunny Points respectively. Also, the race for a Green Star for Point Leader is still on!

I'm extremely disappointed with the FINALS!

It shows that you have to play FIRST to win it - check it for yourself: all these players won because they started their games:
Great-Ollie
Hannibal 19
Jdsizzleslice
KraphtOne
timmy1
Roofless
TheQuietOne
georgizhukov
MudPuppy
hwhrhett
Royal Panda

The only person winning the first round by not starting first was gbd88, but he had eggs-house bonus!

I THINK IT WOULD ONLY BE FAIR TO CANCEL THE FIRST ROUND, MAKE A REDRAW AND PLAY FOG GAMES!

I don't advocate a 'redo' , but a solution would be to make it best of 5 or 7 (perhaps with fog as KZ suggests). If not for this challenge, it would be appropriate in any tournament with such stringent requirements. We all joined 100+ games to get to the finale and to have it all hinge on a single game on a highly luck-based map is a bit disheartening.

Personally, I wouldn't say that I won because I went first. My R1 dice were horrible (gained 1 tert). The opponent was dropped the higher bonus setup and had average to above dice. I won only because he inexplicably didn't take advantage of it and I held to my strategy.

Yeah, I was really surprised at the simplistic tourney format was too after such a long weekend trying to qualify for it. Sunny bunny games aren't really that interesting.
