Let it be. I will try through some other PC. Thanks anyway. :)

Same submitting problems for me. Using NReality 7.

[EddyMataGallos]

Eddy, I'm curious, what was your best time on the HS map?

It was the same route except for the switch part, in which I wasn't taking it straight after the jump but falling to the slope first. That made me lose about a second to macro. Worst part is, I thought about it while in class, but when I got back home the round was over :P

Well, I will delay this round as long as it takes to sort this shit out...

You mean sort Eddy's routefinding out? That might take a while...

DAYYYMN... I'd be impressed if he breached 200+ to be honest... this map wasn't supposed to be agd'd..

I've finally been able to look at the map as Numa has been over quota so much, it certainly looks like an agd will be a challenge, even though macro has already done it :p
Edit: I think I miscounted the gold, macro's run isn't quite an agd.
Edit 2: I was right the first time.

lol... honestly, macro's run is so good it's demoralizing...

ouch, that's so true it hurts xD

[Mohit_Ghune]

ska, can you please post the deadline for Round 2? :)

[ska]

ska, can you please post the deadline for Round 2? :)

Sure, I've made it 11:59 PM (GMT+11), 22 March, 2015.

Or, put simply, 3 days and 19 hours from this post. Here's a live countdown; it should give you guys most of the weekend to submit some last-minute runs.

[_danielr_]

Right. That's the best HS run I'm going to do. If Macro does the same route, I don't know how he gets it so fast...

[vankusss]

ouch, that's so true it hurts xD

damn we poked the armadillo too much... and it returned as a maned wolf

[xaelar]

I still can't submit my run and I have no time to improve.

[vankusss]

I still can't submit my run and I have no time to improve.

Just send the run in a PM to ska, best you can do i guess.

[ska]

Since xaelar is a former grandmaster, he will get a one-time pass.

However... for the sake of not putting the competition into disrepute, he will be required to use screen capture software to show him loading the level and his demo in userlevels, and uploading it for me as proof. Since this process might take some time, I will give him a week to provide me with this evidence. Prior to this, I have PM'd xaelar, and he'll need to send me the userlevels demo data by the deadline.

[golf]

I understand this situation going on with xela. Will you be posting his score for the level, if you have it before the round ends?

For the sake of fairness, I will announce his score as soon as I receive it. If it is a tied score, it will be ranked based on the PM time stamp.

Sounds good to me. I trust the man.

To be clear: I do too, but it's more for the contest as a whole.

Official round 2 results and new maps should be up within 24 hours, if not sooner. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[xaelar]

I've just checked the scores and noticed it doesn't matter. I'm a bit behind golf, so not even top 10.
Sorry for the trouble, my time is 203,425.

No worries. Have you resolved the issue?

P.S. could you also please PM your userlevels demo data anyway? It's useful to have your score validated in case a count-back is required.

Edit: Run has been accepted. Round 3 has commenced.

ROUND 3 SR: 235230 / HS: 235231 (R2 results TBC)
Countdown

Official Standings after round 2:

Speedrun:
MiBeM started the week off right with a solid 221 frame count, which used the same route I had devised during testing. The polished run proved difficult to beat for all of a day, when Eddy perfected his curved-tile triple jump to propel him to the top of the map—and to propel him to the top of the map’s table. Macro was only able to get within a couple frames of Eddy by finding and executing a counter-clockwise route, but Eddy’s demo was ultimately never improved, including by himself; Eddy’s 212 frame count—a frame count familiar to those who’ve played 59-0—proved to be enough to secure the 0th at the round’s end.

Highscores:
Ah, the main event! Inspired kicked things off with an AGD -12 run, which, rather ironically, ended up being the lowest ranking score by the end of the week. Etz managed to add almost 10 seconds to the 0th score with an AGD -8 run, netting a respectable score of 199.375. Then macrohenry cracked his German knuckles and laid down an all gold run from out of nowhere — completely obliterating the 200 mark. A slew of other players also achieved the 200+ barrier, with jp27ace coming closest to macro’s run. Jp27ace, despite also all-golding the map, used a completely different route. Vankusss and danielr were also hot on macrohenry’s heels, and macrohenry improved his score to 214.000 to dissuade potential challengers. EddyMataGallos, who had previously broken the 200 mark but was slipping down the ranks, proved why he has been so dominant the last few years, and pushed past 214 with a score of 214.100 to claim the 0th. This run used a route that was more or less identical to vankusss, danielr and jp27ace’s. Macro ironically thought that his route was the “obvious” one, but it turned out that his route was unique. (He had cleverly omitted a wall-jump near the top by placing a delicate jump on top of a ‘3’ tile.) Nevertheless, this route was only enough to allow macro to tie the Spanish grandmaster, and the fact that Eddy scored 214.100 first earned him the 10 points all for himself. Since Eddy’s hectic schedule prevented him for submitting his run on time for round 1, his round 2 victory was more than enough to propel him into contention, as he sits in 6th place. Macrohenry is still dominating the table, however, as he stands alone in pole position with 19 out of a possible 20 points. Vankusss follows him in 2nd place with 15 points, with only 0.175 separating him from jp27ace, who also has 15 points. Aside from Eddy, I welcome nadroj347 into the top 8 for the first time. All in all, an amazing effort by everyone, especially by the beasts that managed an all gold demo; something, as I've already mentioned, I didn't even anticipate being possible at the start of the week.

I’ve decided to go for something a bit different, and I look forward to seeing some out-of-the-box approaches.

By the way, in case of a countback in speedrun mode, affected players who haven't submitted a run for a particular round will assume the frame count of the lowest top-20 ranking score that was submitted by a competitor plus 200 penalty frames. Since it is possible that point totals will be tied after five rounds, please consider submitting a run, even if it will fail to make the top-10, as such oversights might cost you dearly down the track. Cheers.

Interesting that me and xela had almost the same route, or at least the same general idea. I thought for sure that he was going to deprive me of my singular point, so I'm rather surprised that I managed to cling on to it somehow. Good luck everybody with these maps this week, can't wait to see all the crazy routes at the end.
