A message to all who challenge me.

Question

I was never a fan of "challenge spamming" (or any kind of spamming if it matters).
Starting today if I see more than 2 challenges in a row or a total of 5 on my waiting list from the same player I will decline all of them. I know it's frustrating having to look for active players to return your challenges but I think it's part of the game and I will not tolerate trying to avoid it by sending 10 challenges to someone who is active instead 😃

Answer 1

It's totally acceptable to re-match after a challenge is answered, please do that instead 😃

Answer 2

With challenge spams, you probably get ≈300 challenges a day. I get 3% of that figure, and that's prolly why I haven't seen an issue with it. It must have been tiring scrolling through the list.

Answer 3

@Hatsy - it's not against the rules in any way, I just don't like it 😉 and since I am "famous" for never declining challenges I wanted to make the reason known 😃

Answer 4

@Jayden - everyone has the right to play the game as he/she likes as long it is within the rules... That is the way I play it 😃
@Jay - different weapons are OK for me.
@David - in my experience playing more than 3 weapons at a time is also not very efficient. One starts dropping out anyway as the challenges per day slowly decrease. One has to pay attention to keep them in balance.... It's too much effort 😃

Answer 5

@Aishwarya - I started coding way before I became a marine engineer, so in general they have nothing in common. Nevertheless modern ships are heavily automated, so thinking as a coder helps a lot in understanding how it all works 😃

Answer 6

@Amrit - not sure yet, I also want to revisit Python to get 10K there 😃

Answer 7

@David C - the term is not mine, don't remember who came up with it (might have been $Vengat), but it became quite popular after the change in the scoring system when you score 5 for draw and 6 for win and active high level players can gain a lot of XP by drawing each other about 300 times per day. This is how the Ruby XP boom happened 😃😃😃

Answer 8

@$Vengat - I won't be leaving JS any time soon 😉

Answer 9

Nikolay 😢 why?
I wanted to get my 5th win against you
Nevermind, please return to Python ASAP

Answer 10

@Nikolay - "Challenge Spamming" is such a fitting name for what you described. I've only recently noticed this activity in people challenging me several times in a row. However, it's probably a fraction of what you see.
I didn't realize people are "challenge spamming" in an attempt to look for active challengers. I typically try to cycle through a good dozen or so different people for challenges I initiate and spend the rest of the time either accepting other people's challenges or doing rematches.

Answer 11

@Tinotenda that's true...
I'll just advise you balance your challenges with codes,... playing more challenges won't necessarily make one a good coder (though it's part of it)...
Try not to have bad statistics, make sure you have more wins and less losses...!

Answer 12

Good job nikolay😃
i belive that you can reach to lvl 18 and more😃
You realy legendary man!💖

Answer 13

@Jay... I do the same thing as well when it's with someone I know is proficient in multiple languages. People do the same thing to me as well.
However, I ended up limiting my weapons to C#, Javascript, and PHP because I would get hit with sooo many HTML challenges, which I don't particularly enjoy. Feel free to hit me on challenges anytime.

Answer 14

@Paul - I am always ready.

Answer 15

@Nikolay Nachev-I wonder how does programming will help a Marine Engineer? In what way does it help? Sololearn Leader😊can you please explain? 😇

Answer 16

You're really moving now with the new XP system @Nikolay ☺

Answer 17

Before anyone answers...
you guys are Sololearn legends 😲😲😲
i just one day ill be just as awesome as you all: especially Nikolay 😃😃😃

Answer 18

so the key to gains in XP is by completing lots of challenges? 😞

Answer 19

I have a question to you:
When is HTML coming back?

Answer 20

If someone cheats, he cheats only on himself
