mlb789 : Any other ideas besides blub's we need to make a decision today after all

Honestly i feel we should do a sonic 2 speedrun competition... or even a s3&k one to honour megarevolution1 who never got to do it even though she begged so much.. Honestly speaking though i'm fine putting in time to get good at any game...Just not keen on the posting idea.. i mean as a team none of us are known for posting much at the moment.. we should stick to what we are good at. 

The only ideas that I have is a Speedrun competition. Since we haven't done that yet. As far as a game is concerned, I can only think of something like a Super Mario Bros 3, or one of the Sonic 2 or 3 & Knuckles like Muffin said. So yeah, I can agree with it. But if we were to use Sonic 3 & Knuckles, I'd recommend using the Sonic 3 Complete hack

pacman1755 : I'd rather do sonic 2 because i'm more familiar with it honestly but sounds like a good idea really.

sonicmcmuffin : yeah, that can work real well too. A Sonic game at all really seems easy enough.

pacman1755 : Yeah all we'd need to do is make people do the high score run and take a screenshot of the end screen... 

sonicmcmuffin :

It's been forever since I even "played" Sonic 2. I remember it being easyish, but not so easy that everyone can beat it.

I hope you realize that if you choose to go this route, while the speedrun would be optimal, high scores would also be involved.

As in, if 2 people complete a speed run, the remaining spots on the top 5 would be taken up by the people who scored the highest. If 0 complete the speed run, then it will be the top 5 in the high score category.

I just want to make that clear, since speed-running isn't exactly something everyone "can" do, since it requires you to beat the game in the first place, and classic games were harder than modern games.

legacyme3 : Sonic 2 is a very easy game to beat besides the last boss honestly.. I feel that anyone that's played the game more than 2-3 times could complete it

But yeah i understand

sonicmcmuffin :

I wouldn't really know. I haven't played the game since I was like 3 years old.

If this is what you guys want to do though, let it be done.

All four teams have confirmed their games of choice with me, so with 30 minutes to the deadline, I will give you all the list of games, and the rules, so as to not take up a post in the Activities Thread.

Balloon Fight High Score
1. Must play in High Score Mode
2. Must Submit Score on Page
3. Obviously, this is straightforward, we've had enough of these that you should get it by now.

Donkey Kong High Score
1. Read above. Same rules.

Sonic 2 Speedrun
1. Must be done using high score mode.
2. When submitting, your SCORE will be what you submit. Below the score will be the time the plugin was in use for.
3. If you cannot complete the speedrun, your high score will be your score (however, anyone who does complete the speedrun will be given preference for first place).
4. Your screenshot should come after you finish the final boss. IE, Eggman should be exploding. It will look something like this


Punch-Out Speedrun
1. Same rules as above. Goal is to get to the end as fast as you can. If you cannot, you will be judged based on how far you got.
2. Video is required. This is to prove you didn't just enter a cheat code.

Pretty simple stuff, right? Any questions or concerns can be brought up with me. A reminder of what's on the line...

REWARDS (for each contest) - Individual
1st - 100 Points
2nd - 50 Points
3rd - 25 Points
4th - 10 Points
5th - 5 Points

Additionally, the top 5 in each contest will move on to the SUPER MEGA CHALLENGE MARATHON. If someone is top 5 in two or more contests, they will get one entry. As many as 20 people could be in the final challenge, as few as 5 could be. It all depends on who finishes where.

Again, the top 5 in EACH GAME GET A SPOT IN THE FINAL EVENT.

You do not have to play all of the games. You can play all four, you can play one, you can play none at all. But this is the best and final chance for you to score any points. Do not let this go to waste.

The deadline is a week from now, 8/20/15, at 12:00, midnight, EST.

Ready, set, go!

I'm sorry to have to do this, but I'll need a video for proof of the Sonic 2 SpeedRun as well, as there's an exploit that would screw with this.

sonicmcmuffin :

As you are the de facto captain of this team, make a post, submitting all of your team's submissions (make sure to check each RGR page just in case they forgot to post!)

There's no hard and fast deadline on this, but the sooner, the better.

(sorry it took an hour to reply i was kinda sleeping as you do)

Well a little bummed out I couldn't participate. Maybe next camp I wont be shipped away :p.

Although a little more bummed I had 450 quid pickpocketed in London. I'm not having the best time .

So I've basicallly left vizzed at this point just so you guys know. That's why I haven't been active, etc.
But you two just destroyed everything and I hope you guys win.
The amount of points you guys got is insane.
If one of you gets second or greater you guys are guaranteed the win (unless he does oddball points later or we're deducted points, etc.)

legacyme3 : Here are my submissions for the challenge.. meh
