| Day 6 - Summary |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...
I give up, way too tricky to actually do this for everything and I need to hurry the f*** up since I am working next to doing this
So, alright. Thanks again for another day with lots of fun entries! While we are on the topic of entries, I do think its rather remarkable that we still have 2 Gaffers who managed to participate in every contest so far. Congrats to LuffyZoro and Toddhunter for achieving that! I was sort of hoping that I could kick one of you out of that "contest" between you too with the Track creating competition since I am waiting for a while now to throw out the badge for the last man standing

I noticed that, and I'm gonna keep trying to enter all of them. You almost had me with the Tobe one though, I was having a hard time even finishing the second level because of the controls.

 

[mclem]

Congrats to both of you! We'll play these two tracks in the upcoming Trackmania contest. Thanks to all the others submitting theirs as well. Also, to all the ones participating: Please send me your trackfile so that I can share it in a "bundle" with all interested Gaffers. Quote this to reveal the mail address. Especially, mclem! Already have TheNamelessOne ones.

You should have mail.

 

[Toma]

Done with the summary post-bump.

Congrats to everyone!

Yay random win. And I'm pretty good at SMB so y'all better watch out.

BTW I have a copy of Puzzle Chronicles I can donate to the cause.

Contest #17 Trackmania Highscore Challenge

We are going to race these two levels, and each of them will have winners! Its a FREE game on steam!

- Contest runs until the next batch of daily deals goes up, so tomorrow 7pm GMT+2
- 1 winner for highscore, another one randomly for EACH track. So 4 winners in this competition.
- When you are done, submit a screenshot of the time
- TheNamelessOne and mclem wont compete in the contest on their own tracks, due to fairness reasons.
- Put the files into \Documents\TrackMania\Tracks\Challenges\My Challenges
- Post BOTH entries in the same post! Feel free to write another reply in the thread when you managed to set a new highscore, but always keep your first contest post updated! That is the only one that will count for the highscore.
- Specifically name which track you set the record on, example:

"mclem's track:
*insert screenshot*"

Have fun!

With my WoW responsibilities and work, I'm basically trying to cram all my performances into an hour or two before I go to bed. I think I'm doing okay given that limitation!


Toma: Better if we don't enter on our own track? I'm happy to to give people a benchmark to work to (indeed, I effectively have as the 'creator medal' time!) but it seems a little unfair for us to compete on our own.

 

[The_Monk]

Jesus Toma, might as well do a no-dying in Dark Souls too, this contest is getting so hardcore.

I'm horrible at those games.

 

[gabbo]

Contest #16 SCSMBHSC! (Super Competitive SuperMeatBoy Highscore Superchallenge)

Now I see why it's been so difficult to come up with challenges, you're spending your time on the awesome acronyms

Contest #18 MS Paint competition Part Deux!.

Oh yes. I will spend proportionally too much time on this one! i'm in my element

 

[Toma]

Contest #18 MS Paint competition Part Deux!

The paint challenge is back due to popular demand forMS PAINT round two! Feel free to use whatever graphics program you want though.

I want a (crudely is enough) drawn picture of an unlikely videogame crossover!

- dont steal anyone elses work
- have fun!
- Keep it SFW
- Original work created for this contest!

1 win goes to the best entry (decided by vote), another 1 win a for random entry. Submit your entries until the new daily deals come up, 7 pm GMT+2.

 

[Toma]

Only Meatboy allowed?

Added it to the rules.

- ONLY choose Meatboy as other contestants might not have unlocked any other characters.

That too. You guys will only compete on the other course

360 version, ok?

Yep, photographic evidence then.

Jesus Toma, might as well do a no-dying in Dark Souls too, this contest is getting so hardcore.

I'm horrible at those games.

Sorry, the SMB one was a no brainer due to the daily, and I wanted to get Trackmania finished today too. Maybe something more mellow tomorrow.

 

[LuffyZoro]

I thought that this was decent considering my initial 22 second time.

 

[TheNamelessOne]

For Super Meat Boy I'd say to save the replay from your best run and take a screenshot in replay mode. The internet is full of savegames for SMB with all kinds of times on them.

 

[The_Monk]

I will try to enter if I have the time still. I saw this one coming

[Wario64]

I have Super Meat Boy played on my X360, would that count if I took a pic?

I am sort of trying to keep it as uncomplicated as possible. You can cheat in almost every contest if you really wanted.
Trusting you guys to be honest Makes it definitely easier that people cant just sign up for this forum when wanting to cheat on this contest here, though. Most of the people participating I remember are rather good-natured posters anyway.

Of course.

 

[The_Monk]

Wow Cth did you just did that for the contest?

Contest #16

XBLA version. Hoping to win that random draw!

 

[Cth]

Wow Cth did you just did that for the contest?

I did it a while ago. If it's not allowed, I can remove it.

 

[Dambrosi]

Now drawing the random winners from all the 31 who entered... Number 1, Dambrosi! (Two times in a row, wow.) Hopefully we'll gift you something this time that actually works.

Dambrosi - Cthulu Saves the World + Breath of Death Pack! (sponsored by SnapshotKing)

Congrats everyone! And yes... we draw the Cthulu pack rather often... we have it too often in the pile

Sorry guys, I already have both games. Maybe I can swap them for Penny Arcade 3...

EDIT: Oh, btw Toma - I managed to redeem The Ship this morning, looks like it was just Steam acting up. I still have an extra activation to trade with though, so all's good

Contest 17 - Trackmania time trials

TheNamelessOne's level : 1:35.25

That was tricky, but I managed to conquer Teowind's fastest time so I hope I'm in with a chance of winning. Really tense map, plenty of places to screw up by overshooting.

mclem's level: 1:28.19

Man, what a twisty bumpy level, especially that dirt section. Managed to undercut mclem's time by 6 seconds.
(Formerly 1:30.42)

 

[DeS3InY]

Contest #16

Time: 8.94

http://steamcommunity.com/id/des3iny/screenshot/1153170434590968488

I know I can go lower but my fingers hurt o_o

btw, damn you Grimm Fandango! xD

edit: replaced with map screen

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Contest #16

Wrong time. See update.

Contest #17

Only ram mclems level since I made the other one. So far: 1:29.79.

 

[LFF]

I got a record on mclem's level (1:30.42). I've edited it into my post above.

 

[Gintoki]

Doesn't the level select screen make the time lesser? My current record is 10.02 but on the level select screen it shows 9.90

 

[Toma]

Sorry, added it to the rules. Original content please

 

[TheNamelessOne]

It does? That might explain why I thought I read wrong when I believed it to be 8:66 at first and had me rather suprised to see 8:56. Well, 8:66 was the time I got in the level in that case, you'll have to trust me on that since I can't go back into the level to check. However, I will try to get a similar time and don't fuck up the replay this time.

 

[LFF]

Contest #17

Only ram mclems level since I made the other one. So far: 1:29.79.

It's on.

 

[The Wizard]

Contest #16

I'm going to leave it at this for now, might return to it if the other scores here don't go too crazy.

On to trackmania! (I suck at trackmania .__.)

 

[toddhunter]

Ys games had a daily deal, didnt they?

And I want GalCiv2. I already had it a few years ago, but lost the DVD at some point. Great 4X game and it maddens me that I dont own it anymore.

Edit: And I also want more people to buy it, because its probably one of the best 4X games currently out there. People dont notice it if it doesnt get a front page deal.

Do you have gal civ 2 yet?

 

[DeS3InY]

Contest #18 MS Paint competition Part Deux!

My drawing skills are ... pretty much non-existent xD

 

[Toma]

Do you have gal civ 2 yet?

Nope, but I already played it before. Paid 30€ for it, so I dont really feel like paying much for it again. Fantastic game though.

 

[OmegaDragon]

Contest #17

mclem: 1:33:43

Fuck that first jump D:

TheNamelessOne: 1:37:59

Even more jumps ;_;

 

[LuffyZoro]

Man, I thought that since I had beaten mclem by a bit, I might be good to go for the high score on his track. Back to practicing!

 

[TheNamelessOne]

Contest #15 - Update: 8:63

Well I managed an even better time now. The map screen definitely shows the wrong time since it takes away ten seconds off my new best.

----

I need to bring out my dubstep remix playlist to improve my TM time.

 

[LFF]

I got a new mclem time of 1:28.19. Edited it into my first post.

Dunno if I can get it much lower, i'm struggling with the beginning of the level for some reason. I'm getting angry at my own ghost for being better than me.

I think the first jump is *just* nasty enough; not cruel, not insurmountable - even for a complete rookie - but it will catch even quite good racers out... and it's early enough that it's not *too* much hassle to restart if you do screw it up.

Improved it a bit! 8.78

Contest #15 - Update: 8:63

Well I managed an even better time now. The map screen definitely shows the wrong time since it takes away ten seconds off my new best.

So we shouldn't go by map times? I don't get it. Does that mean map times reported a better time?

 

[S. L.]

where do i put the racetrack files, seriously!?
