:: RULES ::
- Anyone who posts a demo in Round One is automatically entered in the competition.
- I (bhz) am not participating. I may, however, submit runs on the competition maps, but they don't count toward eliminations.
- Maps will be decided based on a suggestion/voting system, similar to what I did for the now-dead FBF/TAS contest.
----- If there is only one suggestion, it wins automatically
----- Maps that lose in the voting process are still eligible for future rounds!
----- To suggest a map, you either PM me on the forums, post here, or tell me on IRC.
----- Map Criteria:
---------- Speedrun must be between 200 and 1000 frames
---------- There must be off-route (not on normal sr route) gold that is clearly worth collecting
---------- You ARE ALLOWED to suggest your own maps
---------- DDAs are not allowed.
----- If there is a tie in voting, the featured maps win.
----- If there still is a tie, the highest rated map wins (unrated map loses)
----- If there still is a tie, the map with LESS votes (on NUMA, that is) wins
----- If there STILL is a tie, the higher map number wins.
- The number of rounds will be determined on the number of participants - however many rounds it takes for everyone to be eliminated but one person!
- Each round lasts exactly one week.
- Rounds will be privatecontest. That means you can't see each others' times! This will be...fun.
- I will resubmit maps for the contest.
- Please submit all runs to NReality!
- In each round, the following people are eliminated:
----- 0th and anyone tied for 0th
----- Last place and anyone tied for last place
----- People who do not submit runs
- If, at any time, exactly two or zero players remain in the competition, we will decide what to do via a poll, if it ever happens.
- The final remaining player wins.
- There will be both highscore and speedrun competitions.
----- When you sign up, you are signing up for both.
----- When you are eliminated from one you ARE NOT eliminated from the other

I'll try a hand at this contest nonsense ;)

Im IN.

I'm in too.

Count me in, just because I like weird stuff.

I'm in. But what happens if someone doesn't submit a demo?

Added map criteria in first post

I would be careful with so many competitions going on right now. I would start this until after blur is over. People will get over saturated with competition. Just a suggestion.

After suggestions from van and Izzy, I have decided that I should run a poll to decide whether the contest will be delayed. VOTE! http://forums.droni.es/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=6819

Not entering.

Oh no! Can we do a contest without ska? And look what he wrote in the delay thread :O Should we still do this, even without his approval? I'm scared!

why do we need ska's approval to run a contest? So one person isn't happy. It's impossible to please everyone at once. I say go for it...

Map suggestions. Please.

I was being sarcastic in a manner that I thought was obvious. Here's a map suggestion, though.

Alright. So, TAP signups are still open for another 2-3 weeks. I hoped this week would be a week of voting. But, apparently, there has been only one map suggestion.

SO...I'll leave the suggestions open for another week.
IF NO ONE SUGGESTS ANY MAPS, http://www.nmaps.net/172543 WILL BE RD 1. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE MAP, SUGGEST SOMETHING!!!

VOTING RESULTS:
All rounds will be NReality privatecontest.
There will be no delay. The contest will start as fast as possible.

EDIT: whoever voted no, suggest a map you think is "good"?

*bump*
Two days for map suggestions! If you don't like the map SUGGEST SOMETHING!!!
I'll repost the competition map Sunday night my time (US Eastern, GMT -4) if no suggestions are made

I'll join in, why not. Sounds fun. :)

Round 1 is underway!
Deadline: Monday 1 November, 00:00 GMT
Map: 206877

Got my run in! :D

So when I see just mine submitted, that's normal, right? I've never done a private contest before.

That's all I've seen, and I know that at least bhz submitted a demo before I did. He asked me to test and make sure the private contest feature worked.

Yeah I also submitted my run only like 5 minutes after the round began.
