Henke37's lightning competition
I feel like hosting a speed competition. The rules are simple. You have 36 hours from the instant that I post this topic to submit a new trial. The time of the post used to publish the trial is the time that will be used. The trial must not have been published previously. You are not allowed to submit a part of an existing trial, but if you have anything laying around unreleased (in a series or not), that is fine. The trial must be published on this site. I will be the final judge, but I will try to listen to comments from other people. I reservate the ability to not award a winner if there is not at least two entries by the deadline. Anyone may enter, even staff.
There is a price to win, so there is a good reason to enter! The price is a steam copy of the great platform game "Phychonauts". I have played the game myself and can say that it is a fun game with lots of interesting characters.
Collaborations are possible to submit, the original author (the one who initially created the trial on the site) is responsible for deciding who gets the price.

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
I wish it was last weekend so I would have time to work on this. I'll see if I can pull something together tonight. I don't even care if I get the game, I'd just be proud to win. XD

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
I'm definitely doing this. Mostly because the only thing barring me from having played Psychonauts so far is money, and I'd love to win that. XD
I'm surprised you managed to get a priZe, Henke. Sounds fun.
You said 36 hours... The deadline is 5:15 AM EST?
NOW SOMEBODY ELSE ENTER SO I CAN ACTUALLY WIN. (or so you can win... hehe?)

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
Damn, I wish I could do this. I've always wanted to play Psychonauts and I've been tearing my hair out trying to find a freaking emulator that will work on this computer
Why did you post this in the middle of the week? I mean, wouldn't Friday have allowed more participation? XP

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
I assume Henke's more or less testing the concept of a reward competition. The only reason it's so short is because it's really an attempt to prove that people can and will participate, under ANY time limit, if some prize of value is to be awarded.

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
I've started work on my trial, I highly doubt I'll be able to finish it off though. :/

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
Yes, but with a longer timeframe, it would be most likely that everyone would do the majority of their work during the weekend when they did not have homework infringing on their time. So, the projected amount of interest in this would be better reflected if it were held on a weekend.okappa wrote:I assume Henke's more or less testing the concept of a reward competition.

Meh, I probably wouldn't manage to finish a trial anyway... Whatever.
EDIT: AAO leaves no trail!

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
OH OH OH! I just realized that I have an unfinished, unreleased trial! However, there's no way I'll be able to finish it... damn... never mind. I'll just keep working on this new one I made haha. The other one requires too much work to complete I think...

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
...Henke, I'm gonna be honest. Unless you either extend the deadline or I work nonstop for the next 7 hours (even IF I work nonstop, maybe) I don't think I'm gonna finish. I'm just starting Testimony #1 and I've gotta do at least 5. If I cut it down to a Part 1, that's still three testimonies to do.
Spoiler : For anyone who's interested :

Agreed. I still need to do 4 testimonies and a still investigation.okappa wrote:...Henke, I'm gonna be honest.

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
Henke's options:
-Extend the deadline by a day or two, and have the first successful AAO competition that proves a prize makes the whole thing worthwhile
-Close the competition with zero to one entries and not have to buy Psychonauts for anyone.

Re: Henke37's lightning competition
I am going to extend the deadline then. Now the deadline is 22:15 2010-01-29 UTC. That's double the time.
