You're not supposed to know yet. You and PPA were to meet up in chat, an instant messenger, or whatever, and decide which of the four task descriptions sounded like the one you wanted to do. However, you two were the only pair that didn't pick one, so by process of elimination you two were given task 4.

You and PPA need to meet me in a chat channel (I'm in #soniccenter, #TUSC, and the official tourney channel #chaotix) when you're both ready to start the challenge at the same time. I recommend doing it soon, becuase when I head to college on Tuesday I'll have much less time in chat and it'll be harder to meet me. When you meet me, I'll tell you what ROM you'll be using (you do know how to use Gens+, right?) and the task. All tasks in this challenge have a time frame of one hour to be done. You'll submit your run before that hour is over.

Due to the time zone differences, how about sometime at the weekend?

Thorn · « **Reply #32 on:** August 23, 2007, 01:17:10 pm »

^I'll try that, but I won't be here most all weekend due to working 12-hour shifts. I'll have to get somebody to assign the tasks to you for me. Paragod, you should really PM PPA or something as you haven't been in chat since... well, ever, pretty much.

Okay, RPG's going to be gone all next week, which was likely when I'd start Round 2. This obviously causes problems. Since he can't be held responsible for the four competitors that are lagging behind, I'm announcing Round 2 today. RPG had been given first choice of challenge and partner because of his upcoming absence, which is fair in my regards since he got his prior challenge out of the way first. If you and your partner have not done Round 1, you may do it individually now by meeting me in chat, as we cannot wait much longer if we want this to be a speedy tourney.

The skinny on Round 2:
You may choose your partner right now assuming you have already completed your Round 1 challenge, and that your choice of partner has already completed his. If you want to partner with somebody still playing Round 1, you'll hafta wait on him. The category this time around is a TSC favorite, Power Abuse. The tasks are...

1. This one implies power more than the rest but ultimately becomes a battle to stay alive. Time alloted is 90 minutes. Spinny wants this one, but doesn't have a partner. Feel free to claim it as well.
2. This is a scavenger hunt on a much grander scale than SA2 has in its levels. Time alloted is 2 hours.
3. This challenge is a much smaller scavenger hunt than the last, yet at the same time much larger. Time alloted is 1 hour. RPG and Achlys claimed this one so that RPG could compete before leaving. Trust me, the rest of you wouldn't have wanted it anyway.
4. This one is just lol. Like, shoopar lol. Time alloted is 30 minutes. PPA and Groudon took this one.

Okay, choose partners, choose tasks, and start haphazardly guessing the tasks' meanings.

wow so your going to start round 2 and you won't even tell me my god forsaken level huh well fine whatever this contest is so stupid anyway you give us stupid hints "shame less plugging" and you expect us to figure out what level your talking about or something whilst ignoring my pm's kindly telling you someone banned me from your chat so I can't come on and that I want to know my level.

i am not signing up for round 2 or round 99 for that matter because its stupid how you can't even answer my question. I can understand it if werent online at all or something but I saw you online like 5 hours after I sent you the pm and you were online for atleast 30 mins so don't tell me you could not take 5 seconds to pm me two words that would be my level... you say we have to be on at the same time whats the point, I used to stay up all night which is PPA'a daytime I guess but not anymore so it coudln't hurt for you to give us the task seperately because you can trust that I would not spend more than an hour on it. either way you probably just intetionally ignored me for god knows why but whatever, if you don't care I won't care either because i'm not gunna sit here and be tortured anticipating what exciting level i'll be playing against PPA in while you sit there not telling anything to me

Well Actually heres my entry because what comes to my mind when I here shameless plugging is a bathtub, which has water in it so I played the Hydro City Act 2 and got 3:31 first try can you beat that PPA bring it on...

I don't think you are banned but if you are then it's only in #soniccenter. #TUSC and #chaotix would have worked just as well.

Thorn · « **Reply #38 on:** August 24, 2007, 11:05:40 pm »

Okay, Paragod, since your entire post is about me not answering your PM, lemme address that...

I never got a PM from you, asswipe. My Inbox has nothing with your nick on it.

Don't assume I deliberately ignored you without checking to see if you typoed my nick first. That's why I never answered any questions, because I never got any questions. I also see that in another topic you say F-man didn't address your PMs; same problem perhaps? But it seems it's too late for me to change your mind now, seeing as you don't care to be in"round 2 or round 99 for that matter because its stupid".

So, anybody else care to sub in for our resignee?
EDIT: K, Rick's on board.

Thorn, genus and I are on at the same time frequently. Of course genus is never on the computer that runs Gens properly and I'm never around when he is.

Thorn · « **Reply #49 on:** September 02, 2007, 10:26:11 pm »

^So what I'm doing now is that you don't hafta do this at the same time as your opponent. If you meet me in chat and you're ready, I'll spill the beans on the task and your time will start. The idea of "same time" was just to make it so that by no freak coincidence would one person find out the task early while the other player would learn it right beofre doing it. I'll be using /msg to convey the task rather than the channel if you do it individually, and if you're stupid enough to tell your opponent the task... well, iono.

In terms of assigning somebody, I can't think of anybody not competing that would care enough to assist me. Also I'd hafta write up the rules in advance for the challenges so that said person would convey exactly what I wanted.

Spinballwizard · « **Reply #50 on:** September 03, 2007, 12:31:52 am »

Okay I got a run done that I can respect for mine. Genus, get your ass in gear.

Thorn · « **Reply #53 on:** September 07, 2007, 10:20:01 pm »

Okay, I have seven submissions for Round 1 and two for Round 2. Just a quick update here.

After genus submits and Round 1 ends, I'll announce the point totals (as well as how they were calculated) and task descriptions, so you know what your comrades were up against. Round 2 is already under way, and be aware that I'm booting the bottom two players after this round (I also have a tiebreaker in mind should it be needed). That's not to say you're not participating at all if you're eliminated, I'm considering mimicking genus's Mario Kart tourney and giving you some say in the final results. Since random gibberish has worked its way into the topic, here's a repeat of the Round 2 post so you don't have to hunt for it.

The skinny on Round 2:
You may choose your partner right now assuming you have already completed your Round 1 challenge, and that your choice of partner has already completed his. If you want to partner with somebody still playing Round 1, you'll hafta wait on him. The category this time around is a TSC favorite, Power Abuse. The tasks are...

1. This one implies power more than the rest but ultimately becomes a battle to stay alive. Time alloted is 90 minutes. Claimed by Spinny and genus.
2. This is a scavenger hunt on a much grander scale than SA2 has in its levels. Time alloted is 2 hours.JB's doing this, as is Rick.
3. This challenge is a much smaller scavenger hunt than the last, yet at the same time much larger. Time alloted is 1 hour. RPG and Achlys claimed this one so that RPG could compete before leaving for holiday. Trust me, the rest of you wouldn't have wanted it anyway.
4. This one is just lol. Like, shoopar lol. Time alloted is 30 minutes. Requested by PPA and Groudon.

Okay, choose partners, choose tasks, and start haphazardly guessing the tasks' meanings.

Hey! No bumping topics that are on the first page! Especially if it is on the first page out of one page >_> Also, I should get a bit of time this week. Friday night being best.

Thorn · « **Reply #57 on:** September 18, 2007, 10:00:43 pm »

Alrighty, Round 1's finally over. I'll present the results first, then the scoring. Links are provided to ROMs that are not already on the TSC forums somewhere.

Challenge 1: Sonic 1 MegaMix - TA run of Starry Night 1-3 with any character.
Target - 4:00:00
RPG - 3:03:76
Groudon - 3:49:93
Challenge 2: Tohaka v0.21 - TA run of Chemical Plant 1 (note: level select is still 19 65 09 17). Finding an emerald on the course was good for 10 seconds off of your final time.
Target - 1:20
Spinny - 1:13
genus - 1:19
Challenge 3: Project Shadow 2 - With level select (10 10 10 10) active, TA run of Midnight Hill 1-2, followed by pausing and pressing A after act 2, then returning to the level select and a TA run of Bonus 1 (Casino Night 1).
Target - 4:30
JB - 5:18
Achlys - 3:50
Challenge 4: Sonic Turbo - TA run of Construction 2 (level select is 20 03 10 23), finishing with at least 100 rings.
Target - 1:20
PPA - 1:14
Rick - 1:07

Competitors were awarded two points for meeting the target (notice yse's doing this with his new tourney now? :P )and an additional two for beating his/her rival. Therefore...

Scoreboard after R1
RPG - 4
Rick - 4
Achlys - 4
Spinny - 4
Groudon - 2
PPA - 2
genus - 2
JB - 0

Also, a few ambitious folk have started on Round 2. A pair has already finished a challenge. Conveniently, the pair that did this challenge was comprised of the two who most enjoyed the game, sparing the rest of you some torture.

Challenge 3: Chaotix *groan* - Scavenger hunt to open as many Grow boxes as possible within two acts. Due to the unfamiliarity of the game, I suggested some (but not the only) good levels beforehand - Techno Tower 2, Introduction, Isolated Island 4.
Target - 4
RPG - 3
Achlys - 4

For those of you who bombed Round 1, never fear! I kept the challenges under wraps for a reason. You can earn one point in a round by meeting the target in another challenge from the round AFTER you have submitted for your own challenge, regardless of the amount of time it takes you. If you didn't meet the target on your own challenge, you can redo it for one additional point, and you are permitted to perform challenges from previous rounds that you have not done as well. Granted, I can't stop you from doing other challenges before you do your assigned one, but I won't grade it until you do, and a round is over the instant the final submission for an assigned challenge is in. Therefore, the sooner you finish your own challenge, the more chances for points you have before the elimination... the first of which being after Round 2, when I will toss the bottom two from the tournament, possibly with an epic tiebreaker if people are on the bottom tier together.

Now go knock yourselves out... or, the other players, whichever suits your fancy.
