TRC Speedrunning: Round 3; Runs In By 1/5/09 11:59 PM EST!

[Riobe]

When are the runs due? Because I can’t go on N until Friday. ;_;

They're due on Friday...at least whenever I'm ready to start the next round on that day. It'll be late though, around 11:59 PM EST.

And no problem darkdeathdemon. Thanks for telling me.

[Pikman]

Lol, I was soooo out :p

*waits on the next map to speedrun*

Hope to see you announce it soon, Riobe. The competition is getting tighter and tighter now, with each week that passes.

[Riobe]

Wow, I'm pretty late on this. X/

The runners in Round Three are:

*xaelar
*darkshadow1416
*TFK

Sorry to all the other runners in the competition. Good luck to the Final Eight! Also to all participants, a TRC participation userbar will be posted at the end of the competition.

Round Three has come to a start! All runs on map ID 142965 due 12/21/08. Get Speedrunning!

[Etz]

It's getting pretty hard now.
Let's see who's still in. golfkid is right, this challenge gets tighter and tighter.
Even though I like this "scoring system" I think it would be more fair if the cntest was held like the TWNS:
The first 4 ranks get points, and every map has to be played. Because for every player a different map is easier to play (I can't play the actual map as well as the first for example.) Now, if a player doesn't manage to get into the next round, because the map was more difficult to him than to others, it's not a good indicator for him, how ood he really is.
If we played EVERY map instead (which, I have to admit, would be a long competition then) nobody would be disadvantaged.
I hope I made my opinion clear to everybody, since my english is not that good.

[Infernus]

Heh. What happens in the event of a tie?

I'll come up with a system like that for the semifinals. Oh yeah, that reminds me, would anyone be at a disadvantage if the semifinals were continued after Holiday Break? I mean, I'm thinking that that's what I'll do, if no one objects to it.

Also, in the event of a tie, since we have a handy system in NReality that allows me to tell who submitted a run first, whoever is in the top 4 (0th, 1st, 2nd, 3rd for this round) wins, regardless of if they're score is the same, since whoever submits the run first will be closer to the 0th.

[golf]

I'll be fine with holding off the next rounds till after holiday break. I don't get back to school until the 12th, and will only have sporadic (or maybe none at all) access to do any speedrunning, since my computer I normally use isn't hooked up to the internet at home.

[Izzy]

NUMA speedruns and highscores seem to be down at the moment.

[Etz]

Yeah, Izzy's right.
I got a new run on this map and just can't submit it. I hope this'll get fixed until tomorrow.

I agree with golfkid. I don't have any problems with continuing after holiday break (since I have to play other games as well ;))

[ToeFaceKiller]

SOOOO what's goin' on with this?

[Riobe]

Oh yeah............

Uhh, well, with it being Holiday Vacation and everything, you guys might as well continue speedrunning up until January 5th, which is the end of my vacation, and more so for others. So, feel free to keep speedrunning until then!

[Etz]

Since my computer refused working with me, I won't be able to submit any speedruns until my computer is repaired. I hope I'll be able able to throw in some runs in time.

[Rikaninja]

umm. Is it still possible to sign up?

[Rikaninja]

Oh. Right, well that's a good excuse for people to start on my contest. It's virtually the same. But less popular, you're welcome to join. But this is far better, I have to give it to Riobe =)

I gave people two months to sign up, and we're 1 month into the speedrunning part of the competition (Round 3, soon to be Round 4), so you're kind of beyond late. =/

And as a reminder to those who are in Round 3, I'm going to have to postpone this round (Again, very very sorry. School is catching up to me lately. ;_;) to this Sunday, in which we'll get this thing continued. So you have another few days to get in your best runs, and good luck to those aiming to get to Round 4. ^^

[rozer]

whats going on with this then?

[Rule]

It's still going rozer. Only, because of holiday's and Riobe's personal life, this round has been delayed.
That's all :)

[Riobe]

Yup, Rule hit it on the head. I don't want this to die, so I was going to update it today. But, unfortunately, the speedruns/highscores aren't loading for me. I'm not entirely sure if it's just me or not, so until then, keep speedrunning (though I doubt anyone still is).
