The goal of this competition is to get the most lives in the game 'T&C Thrilla's Surfari'. You can play it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=750

Rules:
You MUST use the Vizzed RGR Plugin when playing this game, and you can use save states. If you max out the number of lives that you can get in the game, you lock in at 1st (unless 1st is taken, then 2nd and same applies for 3rd). The Screenshot you submit has to be a screenshot you took with the RGR Plugin and the URL of the image has to be the same url of the image of the screenshot you took, you cannot upload your screenshot somewhere else and use that as your submission, you have to use the actual url of the images that were uploaded when you took the screenshots.  The life count appear on the level intro screens and the screens after you lose a life.


Prizes:
1st = 10,000 Viz
2nd = 2,500 Viz
3rd = 1,000 Viz


You can submit as many screenshots as you want. The contest starts now.
Competition ends at the end of the month.

50 lives

rcarter2 : That's not the max by any chance is it?  You seem to be known for maxing things out lol.

Davideo7 : It is not. That is actually not the right picture. This is the one I meant to do. I don't know if this is 'maxing out', but I did get every coconut in the game, and did not die.


96 lives

I am currently seeing if there are any coconuts that I might have missed.

rcarter2 : Lol wow and only 2 days into the competition.  You ready the comments to that game by any chance? lol you sorta proved some of them wrong

Davideo7 : Yeah, I read them a few minutes ago. I actually got this last night, but didn't want to post it in case I could find 3-4 more coconuts to make it a 99 or possible 100. But after playing through the game about 3 more times searching every inch of every level, and then read peoples post on the game, I decided to just go ahead and post it. Hopefully my luck doesn't run like it has for the last 3 competitions where someone beats it the last hour of the competition 

Does it count?

sop281 : That counts.

I really hope other people post submissions. It is always kind of sad when there is a contest that lasts for a whole month and only a few people participate. I have only had an account for a few months. Does this happen much with competitions?

rcarter2 : As a general rule, if someone posts a screenshot containing a really high score really early into the competition, it will discourage those who haven't played the game much before and those who aren't seriously out to win from participating, even when second and third place are still up for grabs. (See: Mega Man competition from a couple months ago, Tetris competition from last month)

So you may well have discouraged 90% of those who might have participated from participating.

sop281 : I like your spirit. At least trying to get second or third place with the beginning screenshot. X3

Edit: Clarified the meaning of "high score" in the first part of the post, since posting a low high score won't really do much. X3

sonikku : Ah. I really didn't even think about that. I sure hope I didn't ruin other people's fun

rcarter2 : We've had some competitions with tons of participation and others with very little.

Davideo7 : I can't wait to get into one with a lot of involvement. Sounds pretty fun. 

Davideo7 :   I notice that we're allowed to use save states, but I have a question!


So say if I keep loading the saved game every time I dies until I stop dieing, would that be considered cheating?

Awesome-Kid : You can do that, I'm assuming that's what rcarter2 lol.  There's no way for me to know whether someone does that or not which is why I gotta allow it.

Davideo7 : You caught me . No way I could get away with claiming I got to the last level without really losing a single life. The more challenging part of the competition is finding all those coconuts 

Wait a minute, do I have to put my screen shot on this thread to be able to participate in the competition!?

Marcmoney : Yeah you have to submit the screenshot here.

There we go. I hope this is acceptable.
