Holy Grail Round 9: 218180 December 2nd deadline.

Sup ninjas!?

Basically this is something I thought of on a bit of a whim. Basically, I wanted a cheap excuse to put your badass flags to use before giving Mistixia a jump-start ;)

The premise is extraordinarily simple. Each week, one map will be selected and you have to complete the map. If you can complete the map and submit the run to NReality in highscores mode (you have to be in the top 20 however by the end of the week for it to count, although that is unlikely to happen due to map difficulty) you earn 2 points. That's it. As I alluded to in the previous sentence, the catch is that the maps will be very difficult. The primary objective is just to complete the map, and the secondary target is to be in 0th place at the end of the week. If you finish the map in 0th place you will be rewarded with one bonus point and the ability to select the next week's map - there are of course conditions to this rule, such as it must not be your own map nor can you already have a run submitted yourself, and finally, I must give approval before okaying the map so if you're kool-aid for example, you don't choose a map that is 99% chimneying. Please register your NReality username below. For example, for me: Ben_Schultz_11

that's it! the competition will commence once I have 10 signups, there is also no deadline for when you can start, but get in early to have a good chance! Remember you don't need to be an amazing highscorer to win. The competition will consist of 24 weeks. If you don't already have a flag from Blur 4, please request one below! (please ask me what you want!)

edit: here is a link to the original flags: there are 2 pages...

Round 1: 215091

My Own map to start.
Remember, highscores mode only and rules are subject to change at my discretion at any time if I believe it benefits the overall quality and fairness of the competition. No gold is necessary and my score is not included. Flags will be completed for you by the end of round one which starts Friday, July 1, 15:50 AEST and finishes 15:50, July 8, 15:50 AEST. Good luck everyone!

*sigh*, did you read it all? every person should put their NReality name in their post, especially if it differs to their forum name. Also, ThisIsApakenua, you don't have a flag yet, (as far as I know at least :P)

In, username is the same - atomizer.
Dunno what's the deal with the flags, but I'd like mine to be like this (maybe zoomed-in a little and with slightly bigger dots? idk)

I'll join, but I think you should choose the maps if they're all going to be extremely difficult. I know the problem is that is that most people don't like choosing maps but they love to complain about them -_-

Anyways my username is: ToeFaceKiller !!

Wow, this actually sounds like the prefect competition for me, I'd love to join.

NReality name: aerodynamic

I'd like my flag to be the flag of Estonia, I've always liked that flag.

As a side note, I see bobaganuesh_2 nobly representing Seychelles, and swipenet sort of representing Romania/Chad/Andorra, cool.

Round 1 is over. Collecting results now.

Edit: Only four players completed and submitted high score runs to NReality for 215091

0th: aerodynamic: 72.225 - 3 points
1st: vankusss: 58.150 - 2 points
2nd: loudog004: 57.650 - 2 points
3rd: innuendonewb: 49.750 - 2 points

If you missed or couldn't complete round one, don't despair, there are still plenty of rounds to make up points.
Round 2 will commence as soon as aerodynamic selects a map. He has 48 hours to select a new map otherwise I'll pick next week's map.

You can almost feel the nervousness in my completion. The ninja stutter-steps soooo much.

You have until 6:00pm on the 24th of July to submit your runs. (So basically, you get half a day of extra play this week)
