When you click on the link for bronze game, non polymorphic are not displayed, because you selected "slot per player 4".
I created valid games but they won't be visible

FAQs:

Who can play a Challenge?
Challenges are open to everyone!

How do I join?
No signups required. Join and/or create games that meet the given parameters for this month as found in the OP. Only public games count towards the challenge unless otherwise explicitly stated in the challenge OP. There is also a "join games" link in the OP to provide an easy list of qualifying games.

What are the prizes?
All players who meet or exceed the minimum number of required points for the month will earn a Challenge Achievement Medal. The point requirements change every month as we aim to provide a vast assortment of challenges which includes a varying level of difficulty.

Site Event Medals are awarded to the top three finishers on the challenge scoreboard.
1st:

2nd:

3rd:

In addition to the medals, the first place finisher receives: 1 Green Conquer Star

And the 2nd-5th place finishers receive: 1 Blue Conquer Star

When do I get my prize?
My goal is always to award prizes during the week following the completion of the event.

How do we deal with deadbeating?
Please report deadbeats in your games by sending me a PM. I will periodically do a random check however I cannot monitor every game. We will evaluate the distribution of prizes to a violating player on a case by case basis.

Tiebreakers?
Ties are awarded to the player who reached the point threshold first.

A player has me foed and it is preventing me from joining a lot of challenge games. What can I do?
PM the player in question. Be courteous and non-accusatory, ask why you are foed. Do your best to resolve any issues with the other user in this manner. However, if they decided not to remove you from their foe list then you will need to join games without that player or start your own.

What if I want to run a parallel tournament to the challenge?
Okay, awesome! Individual tournaments can be added to the challenges so that those games drop tokens. Send me a PM and we will get it added for the month.

Rulings:
1. Deadbeats will have entry points stripped.
2. Wins by round limit will drop tokens.
3. Inventory relating to the challenge will vanish at the end of the year.
4. Bot games do not drop tokens.
5. Any unforeseen abuse is still abuse. Don't take advantage of the system.

If you have any further questions or issues not covered here please either post in the active challenge thread or PM groovysmurf.

I think the scoreboard is incorrect. How have these people already collected a token?

EDIT - tokens don´t seem to be dropping either.

There were some early problems. Fixed, I think. Please continue to report new problems if there are any.

I don´t think its fixed.

Its not. 5 games finished with no tokens or score in the last hour...

by **groovysmurf** on Tue Sep 03, 2019 8:00 pm

bigWham is aware of the problem, not sure why this month is causing so many issues, but he's on it.

by **Charle** on Wed Sep 04, 2019 3:27 am

So the games we completed already will not count?

by **Dukasaur** on Wed Sep 04, 2019 9:14 am

Games will count as long as they start/stop within the correct dates.

Sometimes there are bugs like this, but we always get them worked out eventually.

Any update? Maybe groovy and duk will need to do a manual count this month.

If you're referring to Game 19340300, it's being taken care of.

Why can't the scoreboard show running totals ... instead of only adding a total when the objective is met?

Would definitely be more fun chasing each other up to the top of the board

Probably because New Zealand and Australia also declared war on Germany on the 3rd.
