April Spelunky Daily Challenge Tournament (Steam) - FINAL

Post by noiseredux »

INTRO:

Hello, all. I'd like to host a Spelunky tournament involving the Daily Challenge mode. Unfortunately the Daily Challenge levels are different on PS3/Vita/etc. So this is Steam only. Please "sign up" in this thread if you'd like to participate.

HOW IT WILL WORK:

The Daily Challenge is a new level generated each day and with its own leaderboard. You can play every single day if you want - but you only get one chance a day. That's how the game works. So feel free to post a score every day in April if you want. But only your highest score for each week will be counted. At the end of the month your highest weekly scores are added together and the person with the highest monthly score is the winner.

RULES:

-You must play the Steam version.
-You should post a screenshot of your score on the daily leaderboard to confirm which day it's for.
-You must have already been a Racketboy forum member prior to 3/29/2016 to sign up.

CALENDAR:

Week 1 - April 1st thru April 9th
Week 2 - April 10th thru April 16th
Week 3 - April 17th thru April 23rd
Week 4 - April 24th thru April 30th

PRIZE:

The winner will receive (from me) an eBook copy of the new Spelunky book written by Derek Yu and published by Boss Fight Books.

I am in.

I will be offline several of the weekends, so you may get a one up on me. It should be noted that daily challenge is online only - it verifies you have not made the daily run before you start.

Are you vetoing any advance techniques like Ghost Mining?

I mean to ask, do you know what time the Challenges change each day?

I don't know what that is. I'd assume that I can't really outlaw anything that someone's skill allows for, though. Agreed?

Challenge resets at 0000 UTC/GMT - so if you are in EDT: 2000 - Unless things have changed.

Its your contest man. If someone is skilled at ghost mining they are going to win, easy as that. It is how high scores went from 1mil to over 3mil. However, I doubt many of the people on this forum are going to go for it due to the skill and game knowledge needed to pull off. I have never accomplished it.

I'm in. I'm out from Sat - Tues though, travelling. I'll bring my Surface and try to get some games in, we'll see.

EDIT: Just read what ghost mining is and there is no way I could do that, it would just mean I died that much quicker.

glad to see you in, Stark!

Also even if I felt I could feasibly ghost-mine, I'm still not sure I'd chance it knowing I only have ONE chance at a run per day.

Found it for $8.62! Not too bad. Better than $15 for a game I already own.

Here's my Steam thingy: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Tasty_Muffins/

I think I'm friends with fast and noise and I issued a friend invite to Mike.

EDIT: Apparently I wasn't friends with fast yet, just sent you an invite too chief.
