Ok random question. I know it says we can edit our backlog twice a year once in April and once in August and we can only do it once each time, but I’m curious would I be able to add games to it, or just switch ones out?

 

No, sorry. :( The reason is because it makes it harder to keep track of everyone's points total, and if I let one person and open the floodgates, everyone will be doing it.

 

For example, what's to stop someone from completing all but one trophies in a game and then adding it to their backlog list for EVERY game they complete and for lots of points. 

 

But April is only two months away, and you are welcome to make any changes you wanted then. :)

Hey there! I'd like to join in for this. I really need to get back to work on tackling my backlog again. Working on compiling a list, but I just had a question. (Rather, a couple questions, but all kinda the same :lol:) Since February is almost over, I'm not sure how to handle that. I already completed a couple backlog games this month, so would they count? Or not, since I hadn't made my list yet? If not, do I need to try to knock out a quick one before the month is over, or will you count me as starting in March? I'm sure I have a few options for short games I could tackle over the weekend, just need to know if I should be looking for one while I figure out my list. Thanks in advance!

Hmmm...  that's a good question since I've never really thought about how to handle it if someone were to sign up at the end of the month. 

 

I've been counting point totals from the time people sign up for the event (not the month). I suppose it doesnt matter a whole lot because you can't go into negative points. So if you were to sign up at the end of the month, you'd be a 0 points anyway and if you could complete something in that day or two, you'd get the points for it. If not, there would be no drawbacks to signing up a couple days early.

 

So I'd say, make your list and if you can complete something by the end of the month, it'll count. If not, there's no loss. :) You'd just need a list of 11 games or more since it is February.

Added an upper limit to the amount of games you can add to your backlog lists. I set it at 50.

 

This is to stop people from making lists with hundreds of games. 50 should be more than enough to get people through the year. Maybe I'll consider raising it by 10 each April and August, but for now I think 50 is more than enough.

Green if I've made progress in game since starting event, red if not.

 

I think I've got a good mix of things, mostly trying to focus on PS5 games (cuz it's ridiculous that I already have a backlog there) and PS3 games (cuz it's ridiculous that I still have a backlog there) :lol: However, I've been such a slacker that I haven't even turned on the PS3 in quite some time, so if that doesn't go well for some reason I may have to swap those games out in April. That thing has been a rockstar for so many years though, I'm sure it'll be fine ;)

I'll try to get everything updated tomorrow afternoon or evening. 

 

 

@Dinkus83 Do you need any help with the Truck Racer multiplayer trophies? I've been considering starting it, and helping you would give me an excuse to. It'd also give you an excuse to turn your ps3 on. :D If you wanted to, maybe we could do them this weekend.

Hehe. Could tell I probably needed some motivation on that PS3 eh? I’d be down for that as long as everything works. Was planning on trying the system out tonight. I need to figure out which controller is the good one too. So, I should be set by the weekend :)

I'll get the leaderboards updated and everyone added on the 28th (tomorrow afternoon). Figured I'd give everyone until the end of the month to get everything done that they wanted to, before I updated the leaderboards. 

 

 

To anyone who has signed up that I haven't added to the OP yet: you're good to earn points for the month already. I'll go based off the day you posted your list and get you updated with everyone else tomorrow.

Turns out I picked a great time to decide to play PS3 games. I had a friend visiting who wanted to play Elden Ring on the PS5, and had my son gone at a friend's, so I ended up just playing on the PS3 that is in his room :lol: Played a bit of Dirt 5, because I was excited to try out a racing game on the PS5, but didn't accomplish a ton there. I did get through Unmechanical this weekend though; finished it up on Saturday before I gave up my TV. Then I started into FFX, since it's a disc version and wouldn't have to be installed on his PS3. (I also got distracted cleaning a lot, cuz apparently I can't concentrate at all in the face of a messy teenager's room.) Anyways, it's highly unlikely I'll accomplish anything noteworthy on my list in the next day, but at least I got something done for the month :) I have played a bunch of FFX before, but never finished after getting the HD version. I started over anyway, so it will be a while before I make trophy related progress on that game.

Got everything updated! @mizzcreed takes first place away from me, after I didn't complete a backlog game this month. Both me and @VoltrefferNL both lost a point. Since @Darling Baphomet just signed up and had 0 points, they didn't lose anything (also see grace period rule below)!

 

There's close competition between @BlazzingWind and @Superheavynova for second place with BlazzingWind edging it out by a day. There's also a close battle for fourth place between me and @Kishnabe with me beating them by a day. @LMGhenry isn't far behind! 

 

Also, @ZombHunter13 @Crancian @Hitman_Spinksy1 and @Dinkus83 are all also tied for points.

 

I added a grace period of one month after you sign up before the incomplete game penalty kicks in (Thanks @Dinkus83 for bringing this to my attention), so @xItsLesterx was able to keep his 0.1 points since they didn't sign up until halfway through February.
