Game of the Day: Stealth Bomber!
Hello again, EPICon fans!
Now, I'm sure you've all heard about the unfortunate conflict that complicated things at the last EPICon. It seems like those two boys have been able to forgive and forget, but the EPICon staff still isn't excited to be the venue for another rumble this year.
Still, there's nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition, is there? And competitions are best when winning gets you fabulous prizes! That's why we have decided to feature a different game for each day of the convention, and give you a chance to win EPICon Prize Points. These points will be able to be used at the end of the convention in our exclusive prize shop!
The featured game today is a blast from the past, the card game Stealth Bomber! While more popular on Atebus, I am sure you Subetans can still kick some serious butt! You can earn up to 10 points for trying your very best at this old-school game. Additionally, if you manage to win, you can earn an additional 10 bonus points!
There was a bit in the scoring that we couldn't fully test ahead of release, which, wouldn't you know it, had an error in it. Don't worry, though, games finished before that was patched will still count toward your EPICon points!

I'd like to thank for the fix it was nice to play the game lag-free :)
This is a fun game and very addicting XD. Thank you for fixing it so all of subeta can enjoy it ^_^.
There are still some bugs in the game.. I'm getting extra cards added to my hand when it's not my turn, or there will be no decrease in my hand when someone is supposed to draw from me.
Ahhh yes the lag was fixed!! I managed to get the 10/10 wins and bonus points for epicon AND the 25 win book. Last night was a pain in the butt with all the bugs!
Thanks sooo much for the fixes! The lag is gone now (might be due to the smaller amount of people online though) and with the possibility to see how many cards which opponent has it actually starts to make sense now when you lose/win.
Is this really the best game to choose when it takes at least a minute to load a single page?
And can the Games of the Day be announced at midnight, especially if the scores are going to be reset at midnight? This really isn't fair to people in other timezones.

Quoting Grelca here from the board about the glitch yesterday: "The game isn't going away, you'll be able to play it FOREVER and gain points from it for the whole of EPICon (the extra bonus points are the only thing limited to the game's duration as the featured game). However, Stealth Bomber will be the featured game again for tomorrow (though that was already planned, it's not related to the bug)."
So, it reset to 0 so you can work on getting your points (both regular and bonus) for today!

The site has been running much better this morning, I was able to get to 25 wins now. Thanks for fixing it!
Wait, what? xD Scores reset at midnight? Doesn't make much sense considering the news released this at 1 pm ish and fixed glitches later in the day. Not even 12 hours passed let alone 24? :C Derp. This is what I get for being on a different time zone, oh well. xD

My scores have reset to zero? Yesterday I had 8/10 games and 6/10 wins, but now it says 0/10 for both, although Stealth Bomber is still Today's Featured Game?

Okay I just got the achievement for winning 10 times, yet on the epicon page it says I've only won 7 times. I want it to count all my wins if I got me an achievement.
It didn't take the 3k from me again. I don't wanna abuse the glitch so I'll just wait a few hours. This is really a pain in the neck.
I'm still getting points for this game even though the Epicon counter has ticked over to the next day. I didn't notice 'til just now. Should this be happening, or should a different game be the featured game now?
It's working SO MUCH better now - but I don't think it's taking the 3k playing fee from me anymore! The past 3 games (including the current one I'm playing)
Or do we only have to play once to get the first 10 points, and however many times it takes to win to get the next 10?
Wait, so... does than mean we have to play 10 times to get max points? OOPS IT'S MIDNIGHT. But I assume it works the same for the next game.

I hope they extend this game another day due to the lag and glitches. Even if they add another new game tomorrow, they could let us play this also.
Not really wrong, site has been lagging or even bugging more than often today for nearly everyone. Try it again, seems like it is now much better, performance wise.
Getting the same thing as the people below-- I was on a game and doing fine, then suddenly patch happened and now I keep switching between /three/ games, my original, the one I got when I tried to get my 3000 back from the unpatched game, and the game i got after trying to forfeit my original game when getting my 3000 didn't work. I am terribly confused now. @User not found: __@ Definitely hoping for an extension or ways to get EPICon points despite glitches.
I got booted out of here for most of the day due to the Cloud Flair site unavailable message everywhere. The game keeps looping around to the do you want to play screen and won't even let me finish any game I try to play. Am I doing something wrong?
They are patching, so random things may happen... like winning twice then, surprise, it's bugged and 3k back.
this is getting annoying. I was winning before but now it's just doing random things. Not happy ;P
Wow..what is going on in the background of this game? Major bugs all of a sudden. It's bouncing between a couple different matches and keep getting invalid moves. I just need 1 more win. Ugh!!!!
On top of all the lag, it's just got VERY buggy for me with constant "invalid game" errors.
Given all the glitches, I hope we get to more than just noon tomorrow before the next game is released. :/ I haven't even been able to muddle my way through even five games, and I have to go to bed in order to go to work tomorrow. :/ I don't mind not getting all the points, but if I can't even attempt to get all the EPICon points, then that's just no fun.
(I do like the idea of focusing on games, rather than rehashing the 2010 event.)

I... I have no idea how I'm supposed to win 25. I've been stuck on my first game for a while, despite it saying that it's not glitching. It seems to think I'm playing two separate games at the same time, and whenever I try to discard a pair, it thinks I'm on the other game and I don't actually have a match.... Auuuugggghhhh......
Okay so I was playing and it seemed to ramdomly change between two different hands so I forfeited and it is not even starting properbly anymore? I click on play and it just goes back to the "want to play?" page again
How in the world are we supposed to win 25 games before the midnight reset when each game takes 15-30 minutes. I've been at work all day so there's no way I can do that many tonight. :(
I have 1 hour to get 20 wins with this infernal lag, yay
This will count as game of the day until midnight or until the next game is announced?

Wow, after winning 25 rounds I am SO done with that game. I never want to play it ever again xD
I wish there was a page that showed us how many points we've accumulated. I'm actually doing well at this game, but I've lost track.
Opened the site in a new incognito window on Chrome and the lag seems to have lessened some. There is still some lag but not as bad as it has been all day. Only 2 more wins to go for 10 wins of the day!
This game is strange, when it's over there's nothing that says whether I won or lost. It just asks if I want to play another game and I'm like WTF happened? Where do we see how many epicon points we have?
