This will be one of the simplest contests ever, but it will probably still be fun. Once every two weeks I (or somebody who will take over for me) will pick a map on NUMA. Anyone is allowed to play it and submit their scores to the boards. The next week, same thing. But you'll add your previous score to the current one, and that will be your cumulative score. The longer this contest goes on, the higher your cumulative scores will be. There aren't any winners or losers in this contest. Instead, you are promoted to different ranks. You'll see that "Beginner's Luck" is the first of them. At some point I'll try to make some prize images which players will receive once they reach the next rank. All the scores will be tracked on the spreadsheet I've linked below. Everyone can edit it and I would appreciate if players could keep track of their own times and perhaps even their opponents' times. Don't forget, you have no enemies in this contest. Everyone is working together to climb up the ranks! Whoo!

Seems fun, I like it. It's valid to improve your scores on maps which week is over, right?

Yessir. And people can join in at any time and play the older maps.

Submitted my score there. I think it'll be interesting to see how the differences between players evolve as time goes on. Hopefully this will be able to be a truly ongoing thing.

Great idea Aidiera!
Submitted my score, will probably aim to improve it later.
Is there a signup thing I missed?

Nah. There's just an ever-growing list on the spreadsheet in the OP.

This will be good for me to improve my N skills. Submitted. As long as I don't come last, I'll be happy. :D

Sounds cool, submitted. :)

Jesus guys, those are some serious runs. Three tough corners plus some other hard stuff in one run. Submitted a mediocre run.

FYI, this is possible:

Right?! Eddy and Macro are you fucking kidding me with those runs! So much for a friendly competition on NUMA maps.

I don't think they know the meaning of friendly competition, hehe.

I've improved my run. I think this route is about optimal for using just one corner jump.

Improved to over 110 even though I missed a cj. Thanks for suggesting the start, Hendor. ;) I know that this is a "friendly" competition, but the map is so much fun (thanks for making it, Sunset :D), so why not go for some crazy runs?

I'd have to agree with that. This map and route is a lot of fun. Well done Sunset.

I'm glad you guys are all enjoying it. I'll do my best to pick maps which offer multiple highscoring routes.

And I'll update the groups in the OP as often as I can. :v

Nice run! It might be worth skipping that corner jump (the second one) completely. Just wall jumping the way I do it seems to be about the same speed, and much easier (certainly faster than your run when you're forced to wall jump twice after missing the cj.).

suuuup?

Sweet start, macro. I'd be impressed if anyone could string together a completely clean run.

Cool idea Aidi! Although I am not much of a highscorer, still I would try my hand here. :D
Dunno why but my name was already there in the sheet when I first opened it. lol

Edit: Submitted my run. Got a decent 105s run.

You've all had some pretty fantastic runs. But pretty soon things will get... interesting. But for now, we'll take it nice and easy. Good luck. *winky face*

Submitted my run. :) It's probably possible to beat the drone at the start, but apart from that I don't see much room for improvement.

Without pulling off that chimney trick (because I can't seem to manage that), I'm fairly happy with my run. I'm sure that some cleaning is possible, but the route is fairly optimal, I think.

I like this map more than the previous one, mainly because this map requires lesser skill set and patience. Got a decent super-125s score.

Popped in at 1st place this map.

Also, I've been working with Aidera to make some graphics for this contest/thing.

Here's a sample of what we've got: http://i1.minus.com/ibdj4t4vuZvrT4.png

Woah now that's some high quality pro graphs, awesome job :D

Thanks!
