One Hundred - It's *oeuvre*. Not that I really cared. :/
*Insert image here*
100 points per map.
100% competition.
Just 1 winner.
100 maps is no easy task. It's a test of endurance. You have to make sure your performance is up to speed on every map. It's no use just concentrating on a few maps and discarding the others. But then again, just getting bland completions on all the maps won't do too much good either. You have to strike the balance. You have to decide how much effort to put on each map so you get the best score possible.
The Format
Sign up by posting below. You should say whether you want to be in highscore or speedrun or both, and your highscore board name if it differs from your forum name. Signups close on Friday.
Once signups have closed, the 100 maps will be decided. By all of YOU. Yep, YOU get to decide the maps. What you have to do is PM me a list of some maps that you want competition on. The number of maps you get to choose will depend on how many people sign up, so there'll be 100 maps overall. There are going to be some restrictions, like the map can't have already been beaten to death by highscorers, but I'll tell you more about it when this competition gets going. But in deciding the maps this way, I won't have any more of an advantage than all you guys playing in this contest, so I might as well take part, if that's ok with you.
Then the competition starts. I post a list of all the 100 maps to highscore in this thread. They're probably not going to be resubmitted as protectedcontest because there are so many of them, but if someone wants to do that, then that's fine. Then you get some amount of time to highscore and/or speedrun them all. Probably 6 weeks, but I'll extend it if people want me to. That's it.
You get points for your ranking on each map - the scale will be decided once I have an idea of how many people are playing. But you get points for a completion and the number of points increases the better your performance, up to 100 points for 0th. The scale probably won't be too steep, so amateur highscorers might want to try their hand at this. (If they feel lucky...) I might also feel in the mood to give out bonus points every now and then, so watch this thread carefully.
Late signups will be accepted at any time, but you start with a small point penalty and you don't get to choose maps. And you don't get an extension.
And once the time is up, the winners of the highscore section, the speedrun section, and overall, will have the honour of being the Winners of One Hundred.

Poll question: You're playing poker with a tiger. You have 10s 9d and the flop is 9s 10d Jc. You see that the tiger's tail is thrashing round violently - but just the tail. He seems to be completely unaware that his tail's doing it - it seems like an involuntary action. He places the minimum bet - what do you do?
Fold: 1
Call: 4
Raise: 5
Run screaming: 4
Edit: Contest over, for results see page 3, prizes sent out. Now I guess this thread will be left abandoned to die.
