Why you set it as TTRR? There's no rope in the scheme.
Due to massive misunderstandings: MonkeyIsland refers to an island not a monkey. I would be a monkey, if my name was IslandMonkey meaning a monkey who is or lives on an island. MonkeyIsland is an island which is related to monkeys. Also there's been a legend around saying MonkeyIsland is a game. So please, think of me as an island or a game.

Only turns lost by grenade usage count in the number of turns then? I just want to make sure I understand. I don't think I'll be the only one here ^^.

Yes

Because TTRR is the default setting. Perhaps that should change considering all the abnormal, wxw and other challenges :)

Apology accepted :)

Seconded. It would feel better if those challenges had their own stats categories & co. (maybe roping could be put together in a single category though, but I'm really unsure about that).

Thanks to KRD for a couple of the jumps from my replay (the first one and the tenth one), I haven't seen those before he pointed them out to me.

Wow, nice. :) I thought it was hard to get a more horizontal trajectory, that's why I failed seeing it I guess.

Thanks a lot, I'll try intregrating it to a TA replay asap. ;)

Sorry for the delay in posting the improved replay; here it is now. Credits are mentioned in annotations.

I've also attached overviews (by Deadcode) of all the performed moves during both replays for comparison: moves performed in-control are shown in gray, whereas those happening off-control are shown in bright green.
