I'll play please. The favourite has to be the retcon champ bmara though...

acidcat

Sorry Cris.
Well done mara, no idea how you manage to be *so* much faster than anyone else on these runs.
Hard luck hardware, well done for just taking part.

Big thanks to Harry. It was fun

acidcat

Turns out I can't go faster than my first four runs anyway. 116 Psion 2012-07-05 14:28:57 4 30h 45m 47s 11 10 0 N/A Judicious 117 Gadgeteer 2012-07-10 13:28:04 6 33h 43m 11s 11 17 0 N/A Balanced 118 Elemental 2012-07-15 16:40:45 6 43h 45m 54s 11 12 0 N/A Balanced 119 Naturalist 2012-07-19 00:42:16 4...

Yep, as Hardware said I'm also done now. I've been trying to re-run some runs faster, but there is no way I'll even be the same ballpark as mara. Wouldn't have beaten mara at the best of times, but holiday season, new jobs, new house and everything has made everything a little more difficult. (UK is...

Not sure if this is a bug, but the spy hot air balloon can't be used and turned back into the tux after retcon (as I'm level 1). I'm stuck with this hot airballoon. Can it be made so it can't be equipped, but able to be used please?

Fixed, thanks!

acidcat

I'll probably try these:
* No Pulls, All Permed Skills, Diet, Sidekick - Elemental
* Some Pulls, No Permed Skills, Decaf, No Sidekick - Gadgeteer
* Max Pulls, only class skills, Naturally Hyper, Sidekick - Psion
* All Items, No Permed Skills, Abstainer, No Sidekick - Naturalist

Climbing the ELO board is cool, but the system needs something like a week-long board or tournament with its own rewards. That sort of structure will make all the difference in the world. This kind of thing would be a huge improvement. At the moment other than for cool there is no advantage to gett...

acidcat

Personally, I prefer the pvp system in KoL compared to Twilight, with the exception of stealing items/stats. Maybe I missed something? But as it stands now it is just pure luck who wins, with the person having better eq having a huge advantage. PvP doesn't really give any rewards either, would be f...

acidcat

That's different! I'm in, but if people finish as quickly as I expect my holiday days in July may affect my chances badly.

acidcat

Just being a trouble maker here now... but randomness of this IotM is a bad thing, but you like the Axe hero guitar

acidcat

Congrats on racing to 100 Thorak! Enjoy Diablo 3!

acidcat

Correct, there are a few ones which really has no alternativesI am personally more for introducing new ones which actually closes the gap instead of reintroducing old ones. Many old IOTM:s make a small difference but some of them makes a whole lot of difference. I doubt many players wants the lette...

acidcat

Really good arguments here on both sides. I'm slightly on the side of the people who want to maintain status quo: I think those who supported the game back in the day deserve an advantage. I'm just wondering though - does this argument really apply to all old IotMs, or is it more that there are a fe...

That would be reassuring. My first run without SQUIDs was 1d 7h 28m 20s, which was slow, but otherwise...

acidcat

No. Way!

Mara, remind me to never try and beat you in speedrunning. Not physically possible

Out of interest, did you use SQUIDs?

acidcat

Done. Days This Run: 6 Time Played This Run: 1d 23h 25m 20s More days than one of Cris' runs, more time than her other. Just all round slower. May have been in contention for the prize if I'd gone for full diet instead of sidekick I think and been more sensible with my 3 gold foils. <Shrugs> Still w...

acidcat

I'll definitely play!

Do we just start now?

acidcat

Ok, just started my run. So confused though. Where are my computers and my beautiful equipment? Why can't I get out of Somerset?

Is this some kind of crazy bug?

acidcat

I'd like to play, will join in after a few more days of high level adventuring. Harry's level 50 contest has given me the rare joy of being able to win in the castle easily and see high level content.

acidcat

I love the IoTM, but can't do the whole throwing song thing. How does it work?

acidcat

And so here are some of the things I learned (and was taught) during my snail-like speed run to lv 50. 1) Items of the month are often good especially at low levels, but don't hang onto them past their optimal time. (Don't have them, but 3-speed bike shorts, nutcracker's hat seem to be useful throug...

acidcat

Just checking Thorak, you have turned villains on haven't you? Recyclier is a static villain.

acidcat

Finally!

Time Played This Run: 1w 3d 11h 16m 57s
Days This Run: 21
130 turns left

acidcat

Thanks very much for the useful tips guys. Lots don't apply as I don't have the right items but didn't even think of some of the relevant bits (e.g. liaos). Also been a muppet and forgot all about PP regen with enlightenment centre, have been relying on my subscribers jacket all this time which has ...

acidcat

I'm still doing this Harry, but I'm going quite slowly. Really don't know how the others managed to go so quickly.

acidcat

Congratulations mara! Can't say it was a surprise after even the first few days of the contest.

Depressingly you could've given me a 20 level headstart and still won. Please give us all some of your tips after the contest is over!

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>.

acidcat

DAY 1 Slotting neatly in between Cris and Thorak - level 7 at the end of day 1, 3028 xp to go, bedtime 0910 Am impressed that you managed to use so much cash Thorak, still had plenty of my blue chip until I blew it all on Mister Teas Completed quests: Like a Super Neighbor Trouble in the Galleria Pr...

acidcat

Ooh, I'd like to play please.
Was dubious when it was open to all pulls because of squids, but with these rules and current number of entrants I'd have a chance of coming in the top 5

acidcat

Wow! That's 4 places higher than I thought I'd be when I started. Congrats Shiney! There isn't much difference in the rest of the four of our times, but to do it a whole day and 5 h faster?? Even if I'd maxed out gold foil beforehand and had luck with RNG I stil can't see how I could've even got clo...

acidcat

Woo! I made the Syzken list of honour - victory dance time!

acidcat

I'll have a go, but I'm sure I won't be able to match the 6 days set so far :) Day 1: Went naturalist for tame. Sadly forgot lack of healing ability <facepalm> Went ok, got to level 4, kept getting beaten up so spent a lot of time resting. Sadly only had 2 gold foil from previous run (I play this ga...

acidcat

Thanks very much for transcribing Harry, I very much prefer reading this type of thing over listening to a podcast. Hope it didn't take you too long. Thanks for the podcast Kinak. Very interested to see any new content or tweaks, especially if you are going to move away from the linear quests. I've ...

acidcat

Thanks for running the contest, especially a non-speed run one! Could I have the ebon eye please? Thanks! Having read Sykzen's post, didn't realise how lucky I was. Drop-wise I had the tenderisers hammer, fishnet shirt and tattered shorts (in addition to the polluted charm and skeptic sandals I assu...

acidcat

Sorry for not reporting in earlier, it's slight gamesmanship. Strength: 713 (176) Intellect: 277 (106) Reflexes: 292 (126) I'll admit to huge luck with RNG this run. I've had brewmeister's potion drop plus the suspicious syringe. I'll post some more of my in depth strategy if anyone is interested, b...

acidcat

Just to check - if we do the level 11 quest and defeat the mick we become able to do free pulls and use skills freely. Doesn't that screw up everything? Is it a don't beat the mick, or a don't do any pulls/use any skills or we can just pull and buff freely after beating the mick?

acidcat

Hooray! A non-speed run contest!

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

acidcat

If so I think I may have to wave goodbye to any chance of a prize. Hopefully finish first run tomorrow and I'm only likely to slow down due to a holiday in Spain (yay!) without internet (boo!).

Good luck everyone!

acidcat

Cris, you can give us all a head start, join us later and still be in the top 3. Don't know how you manage it
