Monthly Multiplayer Competition

I dunno if there's already a thread for this. But MMC is so glitchy!

At the start of this month I was playing a game of Geos (albeit a little slowly, but our timezones were funny so it was kinda awkward). We were almost done, kinda, when the game glitched and it said it was my partners turn but they were unable to play and I was unable to make a turn either. When they sent TNT a ticket but they said there was nothing that could be done about it :< which was kinda sad...

 

but anyway I'm so confused,

So of the other two the first games this month I'd won (or at least my partners didn't move after a while so yeah) but then I hadn't gotten any next round games other than Armada when I should have gotten a Kacheekers game too. I wasn't really sure why but oh well.

I was in the middle of (lol, losing an) Armada game when

I get that it's been a week or so since the last game but if I had less points shouldn't that have counted as a loss? also why did the one from the 22nd say it's the fourth game and now it says my second :weird: that's what I find really odd.

 

Does things like this happen for a lot of others too? Or does this have something to do with it being Christmas break? I've not played these before so I'm not too sure how it works...

 

What are your experiences with the Monthly Multiplayer Competition?

The competitions have been overly glitchy for around 2 years now...

You are not the first one to report weirdness like that, though TNT doesn't seem to be able to take any actions to fix the bugs. :(

I had a similar problem in my Kacheekers competition. It skipped my second week, and went straight to the third game. I won that, and my fourth, and then after the fourth game, I got a notification to play my second game.

I only won a bronze trophy because of that glitch, even though I won all of my games. Such a pain. And yeah, TNT did nothing about it. They apologised for the glitch, but said they weren't able to look into it (yeah right! They keep records of everything else- but not the previous month's competitions? I don't believe it)

 

Maybe you'll be luckier than I was, since you documented yours?

A long time ago I wrote a guide to these competitions, which you can find here:

Whether it will help or not I don't know.

 

Back then things generally worked okay, although finishing a game could be a challenge.

 

It's sad that they're getting increasingly glitchy - this very old area of the site seems to be way down TNT's priority list :(

I guess fixing the bugs are more trouble than it's worth, or something. But it's strange that they would have the games still running despite all the issues the system has...

 

Thanks to whoever fixed the title, haha. And also thanks for that guide petpage!
