    About:
    The Boards.ie GamerScore challenge is a competition amongst gamers to see who can gain the most Achievement Points over the summer months.

    We have three challenges – one for each month, June, July and August. There’ll be a winner at the end of each month and then an overall winner who will be the person who gained the most points over the three months.

    The July tournament starts on the 4th July on Saturday at 00:01 (or thereabouts :P), so sign up early to avoid disappointment!

    Rules:
    You can brush up on the Challenge Rules here: http://360voice.gamerdna.com/challenge-rules.asp

    There is one rule that is specific to our competition though;
    - If you do not have constant access to Xbox Live and are completing most of your achievements offline, then we ask that you offer us regular updates of your progress throughout the challenge via the Shoutbox on the challenge page

    Only going to be in the same country as my xbox for half of the first month, but I've signed up anyway. Just so that nobody else has to put up with the shame of coming last. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    Is it safe to say that the majority of gamers who have high gamerscores already are those that will find it hard to do well? Mine is pretty pathetic, but I'd like to think I have some kind of chance by working through my back catalog of games - I only have 30G in GTAIV ffs!

    I'll be bumping this again closer to the time, am expecting to hear back from a few companies with regards free stuff over the next few days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,728 ✭✭✭dazftw


    Yeah kinda ive went from 40'000 - 43'000 in like 2 or so months.. its getting hard.. or im just not playing the right games :pac:

    Ive just bought an Xbox, die-hard gamer ''from the other side'' ;) but looking to get busy on the achievements front this summer.

    Any inklings on what the challenges might be yet?

    Its just whoever can get the most gamerscore in the few months.

    If you only got an Xbox, you got a big advantage, as there are tonnes of games available that are easy to get points out of, that most of us in the challenge have played and got the points already.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    When are you thinking of starting this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,132 ✭✭✭silvine


    I'm tempted but we did a three week challenge over Xmas and the winner got 10,000 (yes ten thousand points)!

    It's taken me a year and a half to get that many.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭bucks73


    A couple of them went mad alright. Lol.

    Seeing as its 3 months long maybe allowing any game to be played will give everyone a chance of racking up a decent score.


  • Registered Users Posts: 40 RafoLordOfWars


    count me in!!:):):)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    Wasn't going to, but I may as well throw in here. I've two weeks off in June so I'll actually have time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    I've now launched this. The challenge will be live Here. Best of luck everyone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,661 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    Again, I always seem to score most of my points just before it starts. 205 down the drain :(
