Took me long enough to build back up after the last retcon that I did. It's gonna be a long time before I retcon again.

Cristiona

Hmm. Suppose I can take a break from heirloom runs for this.

Complete a Maso run during the month of May and post your results here. Top run, by daycount then timecount, gets a Plaid Couch. I'll think of something nice to give the 2nd- and 3rd- place finishers as well.

... do. The name styles aren't applied in the database, more in the PHP side. It would be tricky to write a query for that. Question : Prolly because maso's are named runs and Ryme didn't want people to feel compelled to do them. (same meh excuse as the pinata high command) Kinak : The pinata high ...

Also, why is there no badge for doing one of each named style of retcon? Prolly because maso's are named runs and Ryme didn't want people to feel compelled to do them. (same meh excuse as the pinata high command) Anyway, my questions: What have you been working on ...

... place) and also probably has most items. My vote for dark-horse wild-card would be Nommy though. Nommy is powerful by not doing a single non-Maso run. Powerful as in an absolute slugger.

Its like maso, its there, prolly not worth the 2 extra mettle but there's 2 extra mettle for doing it and it's named in the retcon history for show off purposes. ...

51h 17m 47s 12 days. My first and last maso retcon ever!

Hey, why not, count me in

/me starts maso run.

Count me in on this one. I think someone with an older account and more resources will win this though but it sounds like fun.

I hope I manage to end my maso until 25:th but I think I should...

Viva la Maso! This will be fun~

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 ...

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 ...

Fastest Maso runs I can see are 12 day runs that Nommy and Zillow have done.

... your Bounties in a single post, and make sure to edit bounties out if you no longer wish to give an award. Shiny won the first Bounty, a 10 day Maso. PenguinPyro found a new Badge. This next one is a star for the person who can find a missing Merit Badge. And just to make it easier, we've got ...

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, ...

I... I'm not sure that possible...

This is a stunt I'd love to see:

earn the Whirlwind merit badge in a Maso run

Oh ok. Things must've been quite different then. But why is heroic efficiency considered a restriction if it's obtainable even on maso runs?

He'd still say this if no one played Maso :þ

acidcat

So just out of interest, who else is taking part?

I'm planning on taking part even though I suck at speed runs. Hell, I came 6th out of 6 in Harry's Maso contest.

But sounds like fun.

Mana Yachanichu

Well, let's see: Maso, Psion: get lucky, have the battle of the bands event in run. Use bandoliers and bandanas. Maso, Elemental: try and fail at level 11. Get really angry. Level to 12 to get the skill, turn in IOUs for bonus skill ...

Mana Yachanichu

Aww, I don't get the Maso hate from the top . . . unless you have statistics that it makes people ragequit.

... precious combat items. And praying. Lots of that. My question is this, how do people handle the Mick in all-items, non-naturalist runs? How about Maso? Be as detailed as you can, I'm slow :)

So how popular IS Maso, then?

... retcon history page. It does this even for the one you are currently on. I have gone through all the named retcons: Original, Classic, Champion, maso, grimdark, temperant, gold, silver, retcon zero, trainee, and basic. I was hoping to find a merit badge, but no such luck. Anyway, I moved on to ...

If a winner has chosen to go Maso, they get an extra star for being my favorite. Prize: First 3 Silver Stars, 4 if the winner went Maso Second 2 Silver Stars, 3 for Maso Third 1 ...

Cristiona

Okay, so I've done an all-item sandal-core, I've done sandomasocore, and I did a sub-30 hour, no donation item run. My next stunt will be a King of Armageddon run. Sadly, you can't buy chess pieces in a limited run, so this'll have to be a 5 pull run. ...

I think it'd be fun to have a retcon contest. Since maso has been done, the only other level-playing field is some rendition of no-pull. I've yet to go into this world and would certainly participate if you had a contest like that.

Mana Yachanichu

My huge, current mistake: Maso Psion run... I DO NOT advise this AT ALL . Heh, my Elemental was worse than my Psion Maso run by a lot . . . Accidentally started a trainee run, so realising that 1 mettle wasn't enough to perm a skill, ...

Lxndr

I liked my time in Maso.
However, I love my various items of the month.
And the ability to use said items wins.

(What else am I going to do? Sell them? That's a pain)

Nommy

Isn't it the most fun? You should just do Maso forever.

Cristiona

Honestly, once you have Vim, the rest is gravy. If I was doing a gadget maso run, though... Priority would go to increasing Reflexes to various break points for extra attacks. Guatemalan pepper cannon or Zeno's bow would be gear priorities for the weakening ...

12 of my 13 retcons were Gadgeteer, mostly Maso so I relied on the Gadgeteer skills. I put all my skill points into the 2 passives and Improved Tinkering, and used Stun Gas only for the Mick. With other bosses or tough enemies it wasn't worth ...

OMG HE'S DOWN! Congrats! Glad you stuck with it! Now we just need some poor sap to do this as a psion.

Nommy and I both used webbed sands, which helped a lot. I waited until he didn't hit my the first round (winning initiative was a joke, but he missed once) and then I threw about 6 of them at him.
