Nah mate, there's no nasty stuff here, it's really easy map, maybe just few tricky jumps, that's all..
I'd say beginner level map, but still competitive.. ;)

Hey _ssm_, your other replay (230s) was not complete, you haven't finished the map, I guess it was send by mistake?
Gj on the 209.12 tho! ;)

Why Deadcode can download replays from this challenge?

Why Deadcode can download replays from this challenge?

MonkeyIsland granted me global moderator powers recently. I did my 234.26s run of this map before I downloaded any of the submitted runs, but then curiosity overwhelmed me and I wanted to see how you got such a fast time.

I really like this map, and love battleracing, so I wanted to see if I could beat your time. FWIW, I put a lot of effort into this, used mostly different moves than you did, and had to practice them thoroughly before I was able to use them in a mostly mistake-free run. At the time I thought it was fair to submit my runs, even though I did them after seeing your replay. But now I can see that was just my competitive spirit clouding my judgment. So I've gone ahead and deleted the replays I submitted after downloading yours. I guess I'll just submit them again after the challenge expires.

Amazing run, BTW. It took me 168 attempts to get 205.32s... I wonder how many it took you to get 189.14s.

Post by: _ssm_ on March 19, 2013, 03:54 PM
total ~150 attempts  to get 189.14 include some warm-runs on this map

...

I blame MonkeyIsland and I'm giving him an unofficial warning.

DC dude, U know that all of us wormers consider U and CS as "Gods" of w:a and that we all appreciate and respect your effort for all that U do, but duuude cmooon.. .  No one should be able to see those replays... Just for the sake of sanity and common sense.. ;x
I blame MonkeyIsland.

I cannot accept your records anymore I guess.. and it's a shame..
I had to state this as a moderator of this challenge.

;x

Well, I hope you change your mind.

I'm going to re-submit the four replays that I deleted, so that you can at least watch them and decide for yourself what to do with them.

Edit: Ramone saw the replays, so I've deleted them again.

I'd approve it Ramone, simply because map isn't too complex with all its jumps, isn't a mindcracking challege, come on. :)

l'm confused now. I thought Ramone is joking with that post. Wasn't he? :o

Post by: franz on March 20, 2013, 08:12 PM
I'm pretty sure Ramone means he won't accept any more of his future replays while the challenge is still active, since he's already had a little 'sneak peak', ruining the spirit of the no look challenge.

It sure didn't look like a joke to me, MonkeyIsland. If it was a joke, then he has a pretty unusual sense of humor.

I'm pretty sure Ramone means he won't accept any more of his future replays while the challenge is still active, since he's already had a little 'sneak peak', ruining the spirit of the no look challenge.
Just to clear some stuff up:

1) I won't repeat the mistake of submitting to an active challenge after downloading its hidden replays. It's not the first time I've had to learn a lesson the hard way.
2) Ramone doesn't even need to take my word on that. Yes, each user has an option "Don't show me in download lists" (which I didn't know about before), but I'm not going to enable it. If I correctly understand the way the board works, then replays that I've downloaded will show forever that I've downloaded them, and enabling "Don't show me in download lists" will cause every replay I've downloaded to no longer show that I've downloaded it. So anyone can know if I've enabled this, because a replay you know I've downloaded would no longer show that I've downloaded it. So basically, he only has to trust MonkeyIsland.
3) The "downloaded by" info has timestamps. So you can tell if I've downloaded before or after submitting.
4) Yes it would be extra work for Ramone to have to check all that info. But he doesn't actually have to do all that; he can just choose to trust me. I won't know whether he's checking it or not (or for that matter if anybody else is), so I have to assume somebody is checking it, even if nobody is.

Nope, I ain't joking.
I won't accept Deadcode records in this challenge anymore since it's clear that he has seen the other replays. And that's against the rules of this challenge. It's the principle, yes.
I've understood that it was by accident, and that he didn't mean to do it.. but.. Rules should be equal for all.

...he can just choose to trust me...

I trust U! And I believe that it was all just an accident..
But.. I believe that U can understand my decision about this..

Cya in next WRTT challenge! ;)

Talking to Ramone now, I can see there was a misunderstanding earlier!

When he said this:

he was only talking about this challenge, Pirate Walk Race, not future challenges.

Let's ban Ramone for poorly worded sentences?
Title: Re: Challenge #210, Pirate Walk Race

Yes, a two week-ban sounds fair in this case

Post by: Ramone on March 23, 2013, 10:17 AM
My english-talking skills ain't that good that I can always express my thoughts and opinions in the accurate way.. Sometimes it ends up with misunderstanding (like this one did), so U have my apologies for those "poorly-worded sentences"..
Btw, even when the things are spoken/written in right/accurate way, they can still cause the misunderstandings, like the example in MonkeyIsland signature.  ;)
Or this one:

xD

So yeah, it was all just a misunderstanding, and to state it officially here, Deadcode is more than welcomed to join and play in these challenges.

yeah =D juts poorly worded by ramone =) this will be soon over and the next one will be right after this I guess

Are U gonna host next one or want me to do it again?

Note:
I've changed the challenge expire date since Husk and I agreed that 10 days is enough for this kind of Walk Race maps.
So, it was 2 weeks before and it's shorten to 10 days now.

p.s.
u can =D I still got nothing planned

Ok, I've made a new map today, I'll host another in a row..
