I sure as hell wasn't planning on setting up a CK challenge. It would have ended up being "Play for 1000 turns".  ... I would only want to work on challenges for ST or TA, and to be honest, TA is a little limiting because of the fact each battle is a discrete event. |

What about playing x campaign with x squad set up? All Hydra squad, all Beserker squad, captain cant use sword. Or a survival challenge on one of the levels with infinite enemies.

Funny - last time my captain picked up a sword (in the current squad) was well over 150 battles ago.  Perhaps a lone wolf challenge - only the captain doing siege of Roavin, or Vestmarch - East Gatehouse on a particular difficulty level would be interesting. Problem is that the captain needs to get some battles under his/her belt before being truly effective as lone wolf. Maybe we allow x number of battles to "prime" him/her before the lone wolf challenge actually starts |

I'd be down for trying to arrange some kind of TA challenge but like slayernz said, it would be hard to work out the specifics.
We are rolling up on the second week of June, so what be the plans folks? I was thinking it might be easier just to run with a CK challenge next month (and maybe also an ST challenge as well? That way iOS people can join in) and then we could brainstorm a bit and host a TA challenge in July?
Either way, I can put together a post for the challenge coming up if no one wants to deal with it.

If you are up for creating a TA challenge in July, that'll be cool. maybe you and I can PM and figure out some ideas.
For June, CK is still definitely a challenge candidate, but we'd need CK Gurus to come up with the details. I'd rather not have two challenges going simultaneously (CK and ST) so it doesn't dilute people's focus. If no-one thinks up a CK challenge by, say end of next week, then I'll put together a ST challenge.

I've tried out CK and TA since the last challenge but don't really like either of them that much (already uninstalled), so I'll skip this one and wait for the next ST challenge!

It's cool Athios ... to be honest, I have only spent 30 minutes in CK in the last 15 months or so, so I'm not in a position to expound on the virtues of the product. I know, of course, that it's a game of quality, and because of some wonderful people here, I know that there is as much depth in that game as there is in ST, but I didn't have time to get into the game and now I only have enough time for TA and ST.
The good thing about TA is that it's a more casual game. THat is, each battle/encounter is discrete (to a certain degree), and you're not worried about any changing environments (no factions, no conflicts, no rumors, no shortages/surpluses). Building up a squad takes a bit of time, but once you've invested about an hour, you've done a dozen battles, and have a squad that can begin to stand on its own (assuming you've invested in the right attributes).

I don't understand the Poll at all.
What is a community challenge?

ust got back from a 회식, so I'm a bit.... drunk. Anyways, while sitting there and listening to my boss babble on in Korean that I can only understand a bit of I thought of a basic premise for a CK challenge. Let's call it the "High Noon" challenge and I envision it requiring pistol usage and doing other cowboy-esque things. How about # of assassinations completed? Or maybe just highest rep with the Streets after x amount of turns? Let's face it, the streets faction is basically the wild west anyways!
So why not a cowboy themed CK challenge? I mean, there are revolvers in CK. Their not the best guns ever, but with the new balancing that has been done with prices I find myself using them quite a bit. Maybe we should get gravling in here!

Oh, I thought you meant 술집에서 긴 밤 rather than 회식 ... more of a liquid meal so to speak |

Whoa, you speak Korean? Haha, sorry got home last night and was loopy, couldn't think of a good translation of 회식 so just slapped it up there. You could loosely translate it as an "office get-together" but really it's you and your whole office stuck in a restaurant or bar until your boss decides he/she has had enough. Usually with massive amounts of drinking. I hate going to them (if I want to drink I'll do it with my fiance or my friends) but they give me lots of TB time!

Hehe I don't speak Korean, but found google translate is pretty good at throwing characters together to look good. I tried getting it to show "Down at the pub trying to drink the bar dry", and it came back with something like "Drying clothes at the bar". When I refined the text, I got "Down to drink at the bar, dry bar". So I just settled for being down at the pub in the end Challenge in 1 week - if no CK challenge is put together by Wednesday, I'll create the next ST challenge accordingly |

"Funnily"!? Where is Grävling? It's summer here in Sweden. I am spending as much time in my kayak as I can, which is why you haven't seen so much of me. But 'funnily' is a perfectly good word ... |

Hahaha ... While you are paddling around, ponder up some amazing challenge that can send all the die-hard CK'rs into a week of gun-slinging quests and the like |

Hahaha ... While you are paddling around, ponder up some amazing challenge that can send all the die-hard CK'rs into a week of gun-slinging quests and the like I will. Paddling is good for that. The problem is recording all the neat creative ideas you have when paddling so you don't lose them. |
