The Official Challenge Suggestion and Update Thread
Suggesting a Challenge:
To suggest a challenge, reply to this thread using the following format:
Name of Challenge:
Challenge Code:
Suggested Challenge Points:
Maps in the Challenge, sequentially:
Modifiers:
Approving a Challenge:
This will act similarly to past challenge suggestion threads. For a challenge to be considered, all it needs is positive engagement from the community, seen in reactions, thumbs-ups and/or responses to the challenge. Similarly, if you strongly believe a challenge should not be added, you can react negatively or post the reason why you have concerns about the challenge. If any op believes the challenge has received enough support, or believes it would be a good challenge, they will add it. If you are concerned about the calculated C-Points, don’t worry! Staff will likely review it and make any slight adjustments to the points prior to it being added.
Updating Challenges:
After a new challenge has been added, an op will send an update message informing the community of such within this thread. If a challenge is altered or removed, due to a map being pulled or denommed, an update will be posted to this thread. Note, if a challenge has its C-Points altered due to a Reward Proposal, there will not be an update here.

Challenge Update Sept. 1st, 2022:
All past challenges are here, and all future challenge suggestions will be added here once they are added to the server, to keep a record: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ShbLcqksP3zqRha27L_de40av-PeqxovzhEqmQGhxKA/edit?usp=sharing
Conversations in this thread have also been removed to address cluttering issues. Challenge suggestion posts will also be deleted if they have not gained enough votes in 3 months. If your post has been removed, you are free to post your challenge again to try and get it added. If a challenge you posted got removed and you do not remember the challenge you wrote and want to post it again, you can ask a staff member to try and find the challenge for you on the thread.
Ops should still create update posts and also add the challenges to the spreadsheet on addition of a challenge (but these posts should be deleted upon the next update).
Thank you everyone, we hope to see many new challenges added to the server!
Suggesting a Challenge:
To suggest a challenge, reply to this thread using the following format:
Name of Challenge:
Challenge Code:
Suggested Challenge Points:
Maps in the Challenge, sequentially:
Modifiers:
- Life Limit
- Checkpoint Limit
- No Checkpoint
- No Damage
- No Food
- No Regeneration
- No Sprint
- Soul Link
- Checkpoint Limit
- No Checkpoint
- No Damage
- No Food
- No Regeneration
- No Sprint
- Soul Link
Take the point values of the standard maps and add them all together. Then, multiply by either 1.5, 2, or 2.5 depending on the difficulty of the modifier. If there is no modifier, do not multiply.
Best 2.5x Modifiers - No Damage, No Checkpoints + Long, Death Potential Maps, Low Life Limit + Long, Death Potential Maps, Multiple Modifiers.
Best 2x Modifiers - No Checkpoints, Low Life Limit, Soul Linked.
Best 1.5x Modifiers - No Food, No Sprint, No Regen, High Life Limit.
For example, let’s make a challenge with Glacier, Checkmate, and Ace with No Checkpoints.
We would have the standard points add up to 12, three 4-point maps. Then, we multiply by 2 to get 24 C-Points. Then, we would round the C-Points up to an appropriate value. Which means this challenge would be about 30 C-Points.
This calculation can be helpful, however the best thing you can do is to compare your proposed challenge with currently published challenges. This is especially helpful at the upper limits. For example, if Ragnarok Soul Link is 600 C-Points, then something like Refinery Soul Link should be around the 600 range.
To clarify difficulties versus point values, white is 5-15, blue is 20-25, green is 30-40, yellow is 45-60, orange is 65-95, red is 100-145, and black is 150+.
Best 2.5x Modifiers - No Damage, No Checkpoints + Long, Death Potential Maps, Low Life Limit + Long, Death Potential Maps, Multiple Modifiers.
Best 2x Modifiers - No Checkpoints, Low Life Limit, Soul Linked.
Best 1.5x Modifiers - No Food, No Sprint, No Regen, High Life Limit.
