WINTER OF GAMES 25: Chromatic!

[Sauron 3]

You get trophies on day 1, day 10, day 20 and on the last day for opening gifts consecutively. If you miss one day, like me, well...

I'm more than sure that the conditions for the last trophy should be decreased from 31 days to 29-30, because in December there are at least two very important celebrations when everyone is concentrated on the family issues only.

Why? You just have to click a box. It's not like you have to play the game or learn new rules etc. Click box alongside deal with any turn based actions for the day and job done. You can do that at your leisure any time within that 24hr window.

I don't know what the point of the award is though. No one sees it anyway and there are no real XP gained nor anything else beyond personal satisfaction at having not forgotten to click the box for 31 days.

Does anyone else think the 20 day award looks more special than the 31 day one?

I missed the 1st December due to the time difference. But it doesn't matter.

I'm trying to collect my last box and I will have them all, but every time I click the last box I get this error:

no next date (reference: MU 01/01 02:00:28)

I've tried refreshing and it still does the same thing. Anyone else having this issue?

Edit: 2/3/26
I also just found where the person responding to me called me cringy behind my back. What's cringy is talking about me behind my back. Little do they know I'm also petty when people are condescending to me, and I dont get embarrassed cause I dont care what people think, especially when they go behind my back to do it. You can find the conversation in this thread if you look for it and want proof. Now I'm going to make sure everyone I know that uses this app is aware of the way I was treated. The award I wanted mattered, To Me, a player and advocate of the site. And thats what should have mattered. But apparently it doesn't, or at least not enough to avoid being disrespectful where you think I won't see you doing it. If you can look down on me, then turnabout is fair play.

Now im glad im not paying anymore. I wont support anyone that supports people like that. If they thought I was aggressive and cringy before, get a load of me now.

It is 5:43 at the start of this message composition. It's still the afternoon of December 31st for me and your advent calender is broken and won't let me click the last box. All month it has always told me to wait till about 4pm my time here to click the next box; I did that and get rejected for completion on the final day. That's a backhanded way to set up a game. I was diligent enough to complete the rest of the calendar and get the achievements.

It's basically just like the gift points all over again, whereas, I should be able to get my achievements from your site and benefit accordingly, and even though I'm a paying customer, your service to uphold promised results is clearly lacking .

THERE IS NO GOOD REASON TO PROMISE INTERACTIVE EVENTS--ON A BOARD GAME WEBSITE & APP NO LESS--JUST TO FAIL MISERABLY IN THE FINAL STEP OF THE PROCESS AS FREQUENTLY AS I'VE WITNESSED.

I don't see any reason I should be paying for a subscription anymore. I can play games via invite from my friends. I dont get any other benefits from this site. It may only be around 40 to 45 dollars a year, but it's wasted money if my account is being handled, relegated, or treated as though it's disposable and not being maintained on your end as, (at a minimum) equal to other accounts both paid and free.

(P.S: I've also posted this statement in its entirety as a report.)

I can't click on the calendar for the 31st. It's giving an error message when it's still hours before midnight.

Happy New Year guys!

That is why I wrote before here to give the last achievement to everyone with 29/30 clicks to evade such situations.

The calendar has been run on Paris time all month. At the time you posted, it was 2am on Jan 1 in Paris (as evidenced by the error message). Sorry, but you needed to have clicked on the calendar while it was Dec 31 in Paris.

You’re being a little aggressive here for something that is clearly your fault. The calendar ran on Paris time all month. Based on your message time stamp, when you said it was 5:43, it was 1:43am on Jan 1st in Paris. You didn’t click on the 31st while it was actually the 31st in BGA-land. On the plus side, the award you missed out in … isn’t that great. So maybe chill and enjoy your NYE instead?

Je vois que je ne suis pas la seule à n'avoir pas pu cliquer sur le 31! Peut-on nous donner la possibilité de le faire après coup? Car il n'y a pas de raison qu'on soit privés quand on a cliqué sur tous les jours depuis le 1ier... Merci d'avance...

How The Winter Calendar Works
Starting on December 1st, a new treasure chest will appear each day on the homepage - one for each color line of the week.
 
Click it.
Open it.
Discover the game of the day.
 
That is all you need to do. Daily until the 31st of December.

I thought this originally had the fact that the day begins at midnight CET? Did you edit that out? If it's not in every single original post that mentions this calendar you will create an avalanche of complaints about people not knowing when the day begins. I mean, you're going to get complaints regardless because....humans, but not having the time zone information is an own goal.

I predicted "you will create an avalanche of complaints about people not knowing when the day begins." All of the messages below were sent after 31 December ended CET. Why for goodness sake did you not EXPLICITLY tell people that the days transition at midnight CET, not midnight their local time, like you did in the past?

Yeah, it's bullshit. I was able to click every single one at 8pm my time, when I was home and relaxed from work. Everyday worked except for the last day.
