It's that time of the year again. The sun is out, shit is blooming. Time for a contest! During the month of April complete one no-pull, 11+-mettle run and post your results here. As usual, please let me know if you intend to participate so progress can be followed. The winner gets 4 million chips! C...

Power sticks, my friend. 8-12 PP per shot (I'm guessing average is 10) means you are paying 10 chips/PP. Better than the 12 chips/PP you are getting there.

My original post on page 1 details how I adventured on a given day. The thing that seems to be missing is combat strategy, which dictated pretty much everything in the run. From levels 2 to 15 I killed everything the same way I do in retcons: firestorm. From 15 to 29, which was time spent in the cas...

True... the only reason I was doing it was ti "give back" the chips to the game through its users. Fuel the game's economy, if you will. That's awesome. Still, I don't think that's the effect that you've produced. More so it seems that you've been trading vouchers for the iotms in your st...

You've got that right

Looks like I am falling behind...

Unless I'm missing something you're in second, which is the position you've been in for the last five days.

Very cool. I'm using this one for now. I think I'll switch it up every few weeks.

Status! Day 1: Strategy today was to get to level 5 to use Mister Tea. No reason to play turns suboptimally (i.e. with trash equipment) when there's a frayday in 2 days. D'oh! Genius mara. This is why I suck at contests like this. Don't think of these things ahead. <Sigh>. Heh. Except I didn't play...

The results are in. The winner is...Shiny! I'm going to leave this up for a day or two in case I missed someone. Congrats to Shiny. Thanks to all for participating. I'm hoping the longest retcon type made the shortest month a little more memorable for you all

I like the updated rules. I'd love to give this a try after all.

I love it.

Of course you hold a contest for something I just started doing. Fwiw, I just did this in about 13 days.

Even if you don't give an incentive to join, a game-sponsored link that I could easily plug into a forum pm or otherwise would be helpful. People click these things, try games out, and potentially stay. I feel like the level of activity has really died down as of late and it's really killing my enth...

I think we need to hard-code in some form of referral system. I was recently referred to a game called E-sim, which is frankly not nearly as good a text-based game as this. The game gives a bonus, in the form of a currency similar to silver stars for reaching a a certain level/staying for a certain ...

seventhcross wrote:How are you defining "top run"?

The traditional route: first by lowest daycount then lowest turncount.

In honor of Valentine's Day I am hosting a contest for the retcon type you love most. Do a Maso run during the month of February and post your results here. Top run gets 4,000,000 chips. Contestants, post here or message me in game (bmara). Good luck! Current list of valentines: Nommy Shiny Thorak C...

No nudes near nurseries.

I would like the ability to turn in multiple IOUs and subscription vouchers at the same time. It is incredibly tedious to go through and grab one pre-prepared skill point or one squid disc from the voucher store.

Or have a crap ton of skill points? I think Zillow is trying it now. I think that helps more in all-skills than maso, but it certainly helps a little. I'm going to give this bounty a shot after doing a proper lead-in. Or maybe I'll just do a maso lead-in. I really wanted to do a 3-day silver bounty...

Is it possible to list what the current fastest run, or at least what you think it is, along with the bounty you are posting? I'm very interested in knowing what is good before jumping into unfamiliar waters.

Prizes sent. Thanks for participating, everyone! Gimme a few months to farm and I'll probably have another like this

Thanks for participating! Results are as follows: 1. Shiny 5d 45h 38m 25s 2. Acidcat 6d 50h 43m 30s 3. Zillow 6d 53h 47m 30s 4. Cristiona 6d 54h 32m 50s 5. Garfnobl 6d 55h 48m 58s If I missed you or I messed something up, please let me know. I'm going to leave this posted for 24 hours and then send ...

I'm almost a year old, but I don't think i deserve anything. Honestly, syk is newish and active. I'd like to see any sponsorship go his way.

Out of curiosity, have you kept a running total of how many 100k DD bets you've won?

Yes, yes! A million times, yes!

Up to 2 million for first place!

Title says it all. Do a no-pull, no-skill run for chips. Fastest run, judged by days then time, completed by the end of the month wins (at least) 2 million chips. Probably more depending on whether I autosell crap off my multi or just go with raw chips. I don't care about whatever restrictions you t...

Mac user here, but I appreciate the very generous offer. I could probably get games like that to work in wine/parallels/VMWare, but that never works as well as I'd like.

3. Another kind of big one, I'd really like a better interface for pulls during runs. Perhaps a separate inventory page, where all the items just have [Pull] links. As of right now it's VERY hard to remember which things do what without selecting them and hitting the button. Some organization into ...

Welcome, kinak. I look forward to seeing what you can do. I've really enjoyed playing this game for the past 10ish months. I wish you luck trying to fill some pretty big shoes. With that in mind, a few questions from someone who has played metroplexity: Do you intend to change any mechanics (combat ...

Alright, I think I'm all finished with this one. Final stats: Strength: 608 (180) Intellect: 194 (85) Reflexes: 154 (72) Grand total: 956 Just waiting for ryme to do whatever confirmation is needed. I feel like there's probably a lot of simple things I missed, but that is how these kinds of things g...

Status: Day 1: Hit level 5. Did quests 1-4, snagged encryption key and made first computer. Also bought a motorcycle. Day 2: Hit level 7. This one did not go as well as yesterday. Started encrypting the key while adventuring for taut sinew. Hit level 6 about the same time I finally managed to grab i...

Looks like the contest is over. Congratulations Zillow!

I'm fairly sure it isn't. You can't every really get the -time or the combat modifiers you need in a maso run to finish that quickly. I'd say before wasting time trying a full maso, try for the fastest you can mange with no-items. A really good silver run is sub-40 hours, imo. Whirlwind is not yet ...

acidcat wrote:Hooray! A non-speed run contest!

I'd like to play, let's see how things go

Well, unless I'm misunderstanding things you still need to retcon in the week. So it's a speed contest followed by a leveling contest, right?

If I end up having time in October, I would love to do this contest. I intend to do some high-level content stuff in the near future so that chaos looks spifftastic.

Simple contest to clear out some chips on my multi. 1.5 million chips to the person with the fastest no-pull run of any kind done from now until the end of September. Post your results here for consideration.

Standings:

Zillow - 4d 44h 6m 30s
Cris - 5d 49h 8m 40s
Harry - 6d 52h 31m 55s

It actually looks like your first run started before the 15th, bmara. Someone let me know if I'm looking at that wrong. I'm freaking tired right now, so I wouldn't be surprised if my mind is playing tricks on me. If you're looking at the start of my second retcon as a guide and counting back, I'm a...
