So, I'm challenging everybody to a foot race, from the Howling Gate to the GoE.  One scene away, you ask?  No, you can plot your own course but you must hit the following scenes along the way:

Paper Cabin
Top of Mt Kelle'tha
Ravenhold
In front of the MDA building
In front of Sage's Keep
Inside the Temple of the Void
(We're starting at Howling Gate because Necrovion is closed)

So, I did it in 14 minutes, 17 seconds.  Can you do better?  Don't bother posting your screenshot proof with time stamps until you're nominated for a prize - but do save the proof!  (You're going to need 8 screenshots).

Anything goes - teleport, pickles, friends to beat down the viscosity, secret thingies.  I will NOT give out pickles for the express purpose of running this race, but please note you can win pickles by solving riddles on my quest doc or the sign in front of Wind's - you just have to LOOK at it.

Anybody who goes a week without being bested gets a gold coin.  Anybody who goes a month without being bested gets a wish point, and closes the contest.

On your mark, get set, go!

how would you verify the time though xD

The screen shots need to include the clock, your name, and enough scene to verify the place.  8 of them in logical sequence.

If your forgery skills are so good they withstand everybody's scrutiny, then you don't need my gold coin.  If not, don't risk public humiliation, at the minimum.

I know Fang could do this as I witnessed (at start and end) him do a 4:25 time forgetting to do paper cabin, posting the pictures instantly, and had to re-do it, which he did right after.

If your credibility is suspect, I suggest you get witnesses at check points as well.

one of my other concern is that I believe the server time may be faulty, as it seems to be updated via background Javascript. It's sync'd only when a full refresh is done. Whenever or not this affect the actual race, I can't confirm or deny, as it could still sufficiently work, though I'm not quite sure how well.

Well, this would be fun

Okay, let me put DG's concern to rest.  Assuming two claims are close, and if we have any questions, or the times are close enough to question the system, we will have a run-off.  The potential winners will have to reproduce their run with lots of witnesses, simultaneously.

The ticker/server time can be wonky.

But if someone had knowledge of MDscript they could code clickables to time a persons start, end, and the times they visited each scene.

My concern would more be that they would unintentionally have the wrong time rather than purposely doing it.

Well, Fang gets the gold coin for 1 week without being bested, nay, even challenged.  Are y'all going to let it go a month for the wishpoint?  Surely not!  Where are the challengers?

Looks like you've won a gold coin, but we need to see those screenshots.  Please send or post.

I have sent you all the screenshots in a PM. I can post the pictures here if needed....

Time confirmed, congratulations Else!  I'll find you for the GC.

Anybody going to try and beat this before the month is up (Fang)?  WP clock started June 3rd.

I would gladly challenge his time, as we do enjoy our healthy competitions, but sadly I've hit the limits of what I can do. I knew the only way to beat my time would be to use Jumps or Teles, as fast as I am on my wings I can't outdo those sadly ( ^^)

Looks like Lazarus has a new record of 3 min 22 seconds.

Clock resets.  If the new record stands for a week, it's in the gold!

So I owe Laz a gold coin, and we reset the clock for Else.  Congrats Else!

So Else earns another gold.  4 Days until the contest closes and Else is the grand winner of the wp.

Last call for another challenger!

Congratulations to Else, for going a full month without any further challenges.  Winner and Grand Champion of the Foot Race Challenge!

The record now stands at 3 minutes 8 seconds.  That is certainly worth the wish point!
