This is a points-based competition.
Anyone is welcome to play (I won't be competing, however).
Essentially, I will assign a certain amount of points to each bounty assignment, with tougher assignments worth more points.
I will use the flags from Blur 4. If you don't have one, one will be assigned to you once you earn points. The first player to reach 1000 points will be declared the winner.

Keep an eye in this thread, as new assignments will be added daily. If the assignment has been achieved or expired, it will be crossed out like this. If the text is underlined, it means only one person can claim the bounty. If it is in regular type, multiple players can claim the bounty until it is struck out. All runs must be submitted on NReality to be counted.

OK, here's the twist. After being 2 weeks in (and Eddy looming near the 1000-point mark), I will allow people to set their own bounties (by PM) within certain guidelines. The run must be your own run, and whatever amount of points you set, you must have at least that amount. The map can be your own map, and you don't have to submit a demo until the deadline for that map is reached. The run you submit must be of fewer frames if in speedrun, or of higher score if in highscore mode. The run can be already submitted, or you can hold off on submitting; either choice is fine. If you lose the duel, you lose the amount of points you duelled with and Eddy (or whoever is 0th) gets those points. If, however, Eddy cannot get the score mentioned in the bounty quest (a tie counts as a win for Eddy), the dueller will take away the said amount of points from Eddy's stockpile. (So only pick runs you feel are your best) Also, the score limit has been increased from 1000 to 1500. GOOD LUCK, and if you don't understand any of this post, please post here so that I can try to answer your query...

Final Result:



Congratulations to EddyMataGallos, a truly deserving victor.

This is a great idea, and will hopefully bring more competition to NUMA maps.
I'm not sure what you mean about the flags from Blur 4, but I've done bounties 2, 7 and 9 to get things started

2 and 9 done. I might have some map ideas.

1, 2, 7, 9, and 12 done.

2 / 7 tied / 9

This is a shitty contest because there aren't any maps that require innovation. It's just "here's a demo, beat it". I'm not gonna join because my keyboard's a piece of shit.

1, 2, 7, 9 done.

In the future, some maps are going to be private contest maps with multiple potential routes, meaning you and you alone will have to find the most ideal route to secure points. So don't be so hasty to judge.

1,2,7 and 9 done.

Argh this is a really awesome contest and im afraid i wont be able to play it properly until my fucking internet gets repaired (now im on a cafe :/)
Meanwhile, I did Bounty nº5. I think the rest are doable as well, but i cant play NUMA mpas yet.
As for my 86-4, i think you were too optimistic haha, i checked with ghost mode and i can see like 0.250 faster on my sr at max, but i dunno. The bounty is still possible ofc, but i don think my sr would have made it.

Ill try to be back asap.

I've change it to .9 for you.

17 done.

16) done.

11 done (also check -3 for lulz)

16 done. 105 total points.

Ska, your assignments don't have enough variety.

17/19 assignments have been hs, and much of it seems to be annoying and unfun 1000+ frame NUMA maps that no one can bother to highscore. If you continue posting assignments like that what you'll most likely get is Eddy competing with himself to 1000 points (when he gets his internet back), maybe with van submitting the occasional run now and then, while everyone else just spectates.

There aren't enough good players left to run a competition with maps like that anymore.

As I said, I'm open to suggestions. Want to see a sick run on a specific map or found a run that'd be tough to beat? Just PM me and I'll slap a bounty on that bitch!

18) and 19) done.

Wow! What a nice contest ska! I like the aesthetic and the idea of ​​hunting scores. I have not seen anything that interesting. Too bad I have not skills enough for many of them, and I only play in Ned v1.4.
But hey, I've PM'ed to you with some Bountys to beat.. ;)

I'm posting the excel worksheet I am currently using to help determine each player's total points.
If anyone who is good with excel could find a way to automate players total scores when added to the database, it would be much appreciated! In fact, I'll give a bonus 50 points to the first person who does!

50 free points!
Just add a 1 in the row of a bounty if that player has completed it, and their total score will be calculated at the top. The player with the highest score will have their total highlighted red.

Also I've completed bounties 18-20, and added that to the table.

2) done. Will edit in any more that I get

18 and 19 done. 170 points.

20 and 21 done.

Oh come on, I did nº3, had to reset my sol several times because i had over 159 or 160, then i realized bounty nº4 haha. I have submited my 158.650 run, can that still count if you check it and then I improve my score to achieve both bounties? If not, Ill just improve that later.

So finally, my internet got repaired!
Bounties nº 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, 16, 17, 20 and 21 done to start the things off ;)

The way the 3 and 4 bounty was intended to work was, if you get 4, it automatically switches to 45 points - you don't get both bounties.. it's just one or the other. seems like you really tore through these levels... I'll check them all out later.
