The prizing should be set up differently. For those who don't know the max gamerscore for Gears 3 in the first month is 830. Say for example all 40 members in the winning team get to 830, then they would all split the "Top 5" prize of $500. So they would all get $12.50.
This should be changed to the top 5 who hit the maximum gamerscore FIRST. And then the people who hit the highest gamescore filling up the rest of the spots until there is a max of five.
ex:
1. a - 830
2. b - 830
3. c - 830
4. d - 800
5. e - 800
6. f - 800
only a-e would win, since f hit 800 after e they do not get included.
There should also be a rule in place if two teams hit the maximum team score of 33,200. It should be the teams that got there first, second, third, etc. that claim the appropriate prize. ex. The team that gets 33,200 first is considered first place, second = second place, etc. |

| A lot of people sure seem to think that massive groups of 40 people will all hit 830 in the first week. It's not called Avatar of Backyard Football Wars. |

| Aren't auto-challenges going to interfere with this Brotherhood Challenge? |

Nope, you can be in Auto Challenges and the Gears challenge all at the same time. |

A number of people have been unlocking Socialite as this week is an event week. That means the amount possible is 1000. |

Forget what I said, that was a glitch. Thanks Epic for making this harder for all of us. 830 is indeed the most possible thanks to the "Gears Event" requirement.

Bah, searching the Epic forum is truly annoying, but anyways checking the Gears of War 3 calendar you can see 3 events in the next 30 days. That is far short of the 30 required for the Onyx War Supporter medal.
The achievement was glitched as each match counted as one event. That was patched a few hours ago, and so a number of people already earned it but it is now locked to everyone else for the next few months really. This makes "War Supporter" and "Seriously 3.0" IMPOSSIBLE to earn for anyone that started playing after the patch. |

| Just out of curiosity, what happens if there is a tie between multiple groups. With the overall length of the contest, the speed at which people are hitting 830 already, and the ability to switch and consolidate brotherhoods so late into the contest, this once unlikely event seems more of a possibility now. |

Tiebreaker goes to the first group to achieve that particular score. |

| What about a tiebreaker for the "Top 5" prizes? Our team already has about 10 people with 830. So they will all tie for first place?? Then after that second place is everyone with 780?? I can see "Top 5" being about 30 people in a good team. |

| I think if more than five people have 830 in a group, than everyone with 830 should get the split of the $500, because they all tied, and normally, in events with ties, it would skip all the numbers going down. For example,if 6 people had 830 and one person had 820, the person with 820 should technically be in seventh, not second, even though places 2-6 technically don't exist. |

As explained in the rules:
quote:
Divided by # of Cogs with the Top 5 scores in the First/Second Place Brotherhood; ex: if 2 Cogs tie for highest score, Cogs 1 through 6 would receive $83
So to answer your question, yes.
Needless to say, this is one area where the lack of accessibility for Seriously 3.0 also hurts us. |

Oh well. Next time it won't be so bad. The seriously 3.0 and Socialite achievements are to blame.
What about the people in my team who's name isn't showing up? There gamerpic is on the side, bit the list of players just skips their position? |
