Fyrd Argentus Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) 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!

Demonic God Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 how would you verify the time though xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrd Argentus Posted May 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited May 24, 2021 by Fyrd Argentus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic God Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrd Argentus Posted May 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this would be fun 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrd Argentus Posted May 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 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? Fang Archbane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyrd Argentus Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 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. Poppi Chullo and Else 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Archbane Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 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 ( ^^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrd Argentus Posted June 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) 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! Edited June 23, 2021 by Fyrd Argentus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyrd Argentus Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 So I owe Laz a gold coin, and we reset the clock for Else. Congrats Else! Else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrd Argentus Posted August 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrd Argentus Posted August 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 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!
