Be sure to take note of the rules of this new competition:
- Your AVI or TWS recording should be sent to one of the Competition staff. Mine is rocket_rg@msn.com
- This focuses on item collecting.
- It's not necessarily the fastest time that wins
- Collecting specific items give your points.
- Using keys do not subtract your points.
- A global leaderboard will be used to judge the final winner.
- The points are:
Chip - 1 point
Green Key - 3 points
Red Key - 3 points
Yellow Key - 3 points
Blue Key - 5 points
Fire Boots - 10 points
Suction Boots - 10 points
Ice Skates - 10 points
Flippers - 10 points
Completion Bonus - 20 points (+1 point for every 10 seconds left on the clock)
On that note, have a sane competition, and may the best chipster win!

This is a great idea, I will definitely be participating. I like how the different items have different point values. In the future, will there be Lynx and MS compatible levels? (My preferred ruleset these days is Lynx when tested.)
Of course, if time ends up determining the final winner every time don't expect me to win.

I don't think with the levels made themselves, time will end up being an issue. Of course, there's some optimization work involved, but we'll try to see how we can do levels to distinguish Time Trial to Treasure Hunter, which I think I did pretty well with this level. Also, 10 seconds for a point, I think it can end up being forgiving to those who are not into time attack, but that rule might have to change for next competitions. Like I said, we'll see.

I like this idea, but I am sure it will take refining.
However, because it's something new this time around... I think we should just sit back and watch how it plays out.

To everyone, be sure you downloaded the 1.2 version of this level, as uploaded earlier today. If you're first reading this topic, it is the 1.2 so don't worry.

Love this idea!

So if we have our route and AVI, we just e-mail it to you?
January 2012: Treasure Hunter Competition - rockdet - 04-Jan-2012
Exactly, I'll save them and compile the results at the end.

Ok thanks. I'll get it to you right away.
Wait, one more thing, do I need to have pre-added up the points?
January 2012: Treasure Hunter Competition - rockdet - 04-Jan-2012
If you want, but I'll do the count anyway, so don't worry about it.
