I don't particularly like levels that have such a limiting drone at the end of them, I feel that it devalues the start of the run and becomes a frame war at the end (or at least it 'groups' players by the start of the run, and them becomes a frame war).
Taken for now nonetheless.

Whilst I recognize your sentiment, from a purely external, objective point of view, I would've thought it was fairly unlikely that the highscoring would come down to a bottleneck, as you can slip through either side of the drone. Having said that, I can see how it would be frustrating, now that you have seemingly converged upon said bottleneck.

Apologies in advance for a poor speedrun route. I'm sure you'll manage. BUUUUUUT, here's the plan. Each of you may PM me two maps which you'd think would be good options for this contest. Ideally we're talking about maps with lots of route possibilities, little to no highscoring activity, and you know, a high enjoyability factor. (If you send me a map and I don't think it would fit with the contest, feel free to send another.) Then once I get enough maps, I'll shuffle the order around and we'll have a yummy smorgasbord of challenging competition.

Also, before you start on this map, would you please head over to THIS THREAD and help us choose the best runs of 2014? I would be mad appreciative. And, as always, good luck and may the oddballs be ever in your favor.

This week's map was selected by your very own lifdoff! Thanks buddy. Don't forget, if you want to select a map for the contest, PM it to me. Have fun routing!

(Also, Run of the Year.)

I think it would be a good idea if climb took a hiatus so that you guys can focus on BLUR. This will also give you all time to catch up on the previous maps.

I updated the HS spreadsheet (i.e. I included everybody, who was in the rankings, willingly partaking or not).
This contest would be even more fun, if more people were to join.

This will start back up once highscoring works again.

Well, first I'd like to see if there's still interest in this. If not, The Neverending Contest will have ended.

I'll add throw my hat into the ring for those who are in favor of a new map. To me, the beauty of this competition, compared to the NPoints that is just beginning, is that you can still go back and play maps from previous weeks. So even if somebody doesn't have the time to do this and NPoints in the same week, the Climb map will still be around and waiting for them to post a score on sometime in the future.
[16:24] <@golfkid> I'm pretty sure I will literally scream if I die on the last column of 78-4 at this point
[16:25] <trance> Oh, yeah. That level.
[16:29] <@golfkid> lol
[16:30] <@golfkid> It looks so simple

I was a big fan of this contest as well. I bought a new laptop and once it arrives I'll be more active in the NUMA highscoring community (maybe even IRC!?) so I would like so see this continue in good hands. I still don't think there would be much coding involved in automating a scoreboard, but unless anyone has a clue where to start, it's back to manual updating. I would also suggest that we introduce 10-map 'seasons'. So I will add one more map to Season 1 and then we'll start Season 2. Should there be a winner for Season 1 or should people be able to improve their scores as they like?

But yeah. Hello everyone. Glad to see there's still an interest.

So you're saying you'll keep this running? That'd be great. If not, I or anyone else can take over I guess.

The thing I like about this competition is that there's no pressure since there are no winners or losers. I would like it to stay that way.

Uh, no. I'll still be busy working. You're taking over once I post the final map for Season 1. Also I have a list of some maps I'll send to you that you can look over and see if they'll suffice.

SCOREBOARD
Hello everyone. Here's the plan. macrohenry will be taking over for me. I was going to break it up into seasons but then I remembered that I created Climb specifically so that there wouldn't be any seasons. So everything carries on as planned. I'll hit up sidke and see if he can whip up some sort of automated scoreboard at some point. New maps will be posted every two weeks or thereabouts. Next map will be out in January so we have time to hype up the contest. Any more questions, ask macro.

Yes, it's only been 6 days but since I won't have time tomorrow to announce the next map I'll do that now. Shouldn't be a problem as you can still play all the earlier maps of course.
Please add your scores to this spreadsheet as always. Happy climbing!
