Title: Super-Fun Gamerscore Challenge: August
Post by: Lukehi on July 23, 2011, 05:01:39 PM
Thought it'd be good to get some healthy competition going. 

I've set up an August Gamerscore challenge over on 360voice.com (http://360voice.gamerdna.com/).  The idea is to see who can rack up the most gamerscore during the month, there'll also be a prize for the winner.

Follow the link  (http://360voice.gamerdna.com/join/I6S1GPVV) to sign-up for the competition (use the code I6S1GPVV to join).

I'll launch the challenge on 1st August so you've got until then to rent Avatar & King Kong!

It's all in the name of fun and bringing the community together, the prize for 1st won't be amazing.  I've got some codes XBL/XBLA codes knocking around somewhere.

Anyway it's easier for gamers with smaller gamerscore as there's more games to play... :)

Sounds good, just wanted to make sure I gots my P's and Q's and ducks and whatever else in a row, so when I have to raise my flag of surrender hand in triumph, the logs will note my defeat victory properly... :P

..honestly, my shot at this is way slim, but still sounds fun, plus it'll propel me to actually reach my TA Goal.

After leading for the first few days Quinty will be miffed that the following has happened:

Challenge update - 8/5/2011
This is the situation: asheepshot threw down and ended up with the lead today by putting up an amazing 865 points! That's how you win challenges, people! FOCUS! Overall, the 9 total challengers put up a total of 1065 points, so at least people are competing! asheepshot added 865, Quintillus added 150, maliciousghost added 20, ZeroEquals added 20, and eviloot666 added 10.

So Sheepy leads us into the weekend.  Let see if anyone can catch up over the next few days.

Final result:

All the loose ends are tied up... the Gamerscore Challenge known as 360 DF August Challenge is over and the winner is eviloot666 racking up a final total of 5,575 points in 30 days!

All 9 participants combined on the final day, they put up a total gain of 875 points. eviloot666 added 305, maliciousghost added 290, nCogNeato added 80, Quintillus added 75, ZeroEquals added 70, Lukehi added 30, and Jurassic Parky added 25. A special congrats and thanks to the 8 other competitors.


 Leaderboard finished like this:

eviloot666+5,575
maliciousghost+5,320
Quintillus+3,115
ZeroEquals+1,910
Jurassic Parky+1,860
asheepshot+1,795

Apologies for the belated results but I've been pretty busy.  So congrats to Hells Bells who wins the first GS challenge and the actual prize of 1200MSP.
He took over the lead from Sheepy at the mid-way point and even though Ghost pushed him hard he hung onto first place.

Thanks all for taking part and hopefully you'll join in with future events... :-*

Vice-versa.  Subs are international, MSP are region locked.

Some promotional MSP codes (like 400MSP from Bing) are international, but retail codes can only be redeemed in the country they were purchased in.
