The Premise.

I give you a map.
I give you a unique challenge.
You give me a demo of the challenge.
If you're fast, stylish, and awesome, I give you a cool prize.
Repeat until satisfied.

The System.

Each week I will post a map# here: usually it will be a userlevel. If it's a Metanet map, I will post the number, name, and leveldata here. (All Metanet levels are credited to Raigan Burns and Mare Sheppard; I take no credit. 100-199 are the work of the Legacy Team.)

All you need to do is play the map and record a demo, then post it here. Entries close at the end of whatever week it is; the fastest player gets the points. If the challenge requires a specific quirk, the most stylish player also has a good chance of winning. I'll use my own private scoring system for points, and hte player with the most of these wins each week. At the end of a five-week cycle, the player with the most points wins the round, and the two players with the least are eliminated.

1st place: 4
2nd place: 3
3rd place: 2
4th place: 1


Everybody else: nada.


Signups will be until 11:59PM EST, 11.12.08.

The Prizes.

Don't you wish you knew.

The Judges.

Surely you jest.

========

[spoiler=WEEK 1]Map Number : 109735, "//" by NIGHTMARE619. Use NReality in highscore mode.

Challenge : We'll start out easy. Open both exits.

Extra Style Points (ESP)
- Get an AGD
- Be inside a rocket for at least three frames.
- Use speedrun mode and complete the challenge in under 500 frames.

Good luck and happy demoing! Post when you've submitted, if you want, so I can check your run - I'll check regularly anyway.
If you've already highscored the map and that run is faster (meaning you can't submit the new run) the level data and demo data should appear in a box on the left side of the NReality window. Just copy and paste into a couple

Does it always have to be the fastest that wins? Can it not be like... the coolest? Or most stylish? Or...something different?

Me too. It sounds easy enough.

But if I get swamped with stuff all of a sudden, I may not be able to do it. But I'll tell you if that happens.
