About the Nation Challenge mini game

Postby Communist Eraser » Sat May 11, 2013 4:00 pm

I noticed the nation challenge mini game from the 10th anniversary is still available (http://www.nationstates.net/page=challenge).

Is it possible to make the feature official? I am aware of its (many) flaws, but it's still interesting for what it is and as it's already coded it seems a waste to hide it in an obscure palace hidden halfway through the news page.

Thanks.

The thing about special events is that they're ... well, special. This was a short-term game for the 10th Anniversary, and that was it.

Even in that short term, some players took advantage of loopholes in the code or wrote scripts to compete, which kinda defeated the short-term fun aspect of it. It's not something we wanted to maintain. So no - we're not bringing it back or reinstating the Championship Ladder. You can play one-offs for your own amusement anytime you like.

I think I might leave the Challenge game tucked away there but reset the ladder every 2 weeks.

It does have a botting issue, though, which would probably take more admin resources to fix properly than it's worth.
