On the world challenges can somone explain how you get '1 win'? I just dont understand none of it! :x

And how can a person have '8 wins' if you can only play the game 3 times???

Well, as far as I see is that this is exactly like the Daily Game Challenge they used to have. You pick a game and say set challenge or something like that and then start playing and send those high scores (as many as you can I believe in one hour). You then get matched up randomly with other peoples scores and who ever has the higher wins. Sorry if it sounds complicated (cause it is :P ) but I hope I some what helped :/



EDIT: A person can have more then 3 wins because the scores will still count for your challenge but you just won't get any neopoints after 3 sends.

Yes, you just won't get any NP for them. You only get NP for the first 3 you send in. Any you send in after that count for just the challenge.

If you issue a challenge, you can play a game as often as you like to gain wins.

If you issue a challange, and send score more than once, only your first score will count.

You must issue a new challenge for every time you want to send a new score.

If your score hasn't been matched against another persons, and you issue a new challenge, you lose the first challenge :x

I don't get how the rank works...

I won my game of Swarm with 4256 to 1317, yet I am in 5th place and the person at #1 also won only 1 game, but with a score of only 1760!

Seems a bit unfair :o

Edit: I'm 6th now, and ALL players above me have a lower score!

Congratulations! You have won 550 Neopoints by coming in 1st place in a World Challenge!

Because you placed in the top 3, a piece of artwork has been added to your World Challenge Gallery.

Once you have all the pieces to make a picture, you will be able to turn it in for a valuable item! You could also sell the pieces, too!

Flycatcher's ranks seem to work well... but I don't get it all either...

For ties, they use reverse alphabetical order. And you can have more than 3 scores count for the challenge. Just make sure you open the game window after you enter the challenge, otherwise the scores might not send.

After getting four puzzle pieces ( :lol: ) I've discovered how it works!

Okay so here's what I know:

First you pay the fee, then you play. Say there are five players, Player A, B, C, D, And E.

Say Player A plays twice. Player A and B are first to send in their scores, so their matched up. Say player A wins, then he would have one win, and B would have a -1 next to his name. Next is A and C. C beats A, so the score would look something like this:



Player C 1 Points
Player A 0 Points
Player B -1 Points

Next is E and D. Say E wins. It now looks like this:

Player C 1 Points
Player E 1 Points
Player A 0 Points
-------
Player B -1 Points
Player D -1 Points.


Elsewise, I have no clue how they decide a tie. There are a lot of different theories.
