First Playthrough Challenge
I thought of a fun mini-challenge to add another element to our daily gaming...
When you start a new day, start it, watch the "preview" as the camera pans the track, run fast, complete the track without restarting at all, then post your time here. I thought it would be interesting to see who is the best at the first runs of a track.
Anyone ineterested?
If so, post here today (if you havne't played day 134 yet). I'll post my first run time tomorrow since I've played today's before thinking of this idea.

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
I like this idea. One question: What's the best place to share/post your screenshots? I'll have to set up an account somewhere, it seems...

You don't HAVE to do screenshots.. but if you want to, you can either upload them to imageshack or photobucket. Or if you get the iphone app tapatalk, you can view the forum and post pictures right from your camera roll.

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
Great idea... I'll try to start doing this!

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
Thanks Nytmair! I think I have it all set up now.
Here is a trial run, just to make sure it works. I hope I remember to take a picture on the first go tomorrow.

This is not a photo of a first run, obviously, but it iwas a proud moment for me - I crashed a cart so horribly that my Heroz' head got stuck inside a rock. The liitle gal was hanging there by her head and couldn't shake free, even after 12 or so seconds of wiggling about.

Haha, great pic! Almost seems like the boulder is a giant head http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_mrgreen.gif
The first playthrough challenge is a fun idea, hope I remember to note my first time.

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
Hehe, congrats! But I'm pretty sure that some of our boys here will be much faster even.
By the way: I forgot to check the level slideshow. In fact, I almost totally forgot the first playthrough thing. Just remembered to write down my first time a milisecond before I hit the retry button http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif

Alright, I know it's huge, but I wanted to get it posted right away, and it would take a while for me to figure out how to shrink it without moving it to my netbook. So, I apologize. But, c'mon, that's not a bad first run, is it?!
(Oh, and it is taken on an iPad.)

I think we need to make sure that the picture is before it updates. Like mine shows that it's a first run, other's show the fastest time after talking to the server.
Theoretically, someone could run it a few times and post up a pretty decent run.*
*Please note. I cheated.

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
Shifty - tsk tsk! How'd you get 42 gold on your first run?
It occurs to me now that other than the +2 gold bit, there's no indication it's my first run, though. Here's a word of warning - If you're going to try the screenshot, you'll have to take the picture - really - quickly, if you want to capture the "no record" thing in the corner.

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
I agree Shifty, however, I like to think we are somewhat honorable people in the 1000 heroz group http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif

EXACTLY! I am a horrible cheater. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...con_asleep.gift wasn't clear in my post that I was trying to make a point).
You have figured out the BESTEST way to do a check though.

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
I figured there was a reason you weren't a rugular ol' samurai!
-
First Playthrough Challenge
Crap. I just did a run and got a green coin. So there isn't a way to check by gold either.
Poo.
PS: I laughed at the "samurai" line and sneezed at the same time. I now have mucus on my phone.
Thanks.

Re: First Playthrough Challenge

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
Sorry about the mucus mishap, Shady.
I thought about it a little on the bus, and I'm not sure that the low gold count will work, either, as I believe the gold count resets after you exit. Theoretically, then, you could just practice, practice, practice, never completing a run, exit, and then pull off a great run, collecting very little gold.
I guess we have to..ahem...trust each other, as Nytmair said. And he pointed out correctly that it isn't about how well we do - we're all really waiting for an "Epic FAIL", as the kids say these days.
I'll try to post in the first minute or so after release. (I usually do try to get in early, anyway. If I remember correctly, I think Shady recently posted something where he was first overall, and I was right there, too, in second...because we were the only two with times posted!).
Good luck!

And you can get coins worth a ton of gold.
Seeing how it's just us Trials guys, the honor system is the way to go.
PS: I'm not Shady, I'm Shifty, and I shot the mucus.

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
18.592. Guess that's pretty good. Actually makes sense to watch the flyby preview http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_e_smile.gif

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
I am going to have to mark myself a 0.00 today.
I fell through the hole near the swing my first two runs haha.
Got 19.129 on my 3rd try http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_razz.gif

Really lucky with the cart it the beginning flinging me into the hole. Not so great after that.
Watching the preview doesn't help me, my memory is crap.

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
Well, tried today without looking at the flyby, and fell off the back of the cart. I finished with a blistering 22.498!

Re: First Playthrough Challenge
Heh. I saw the preview, and took a safe stick-to-the-bottom route, only getting slowed by the steep incline. I now have a very good reason to like today's track. I only hope RookyJ -doesn't- write a walkthrough for this one...If I get more time later tonight, and if the time's don't get too crazy, I may try for a podium today. (Don't tell Arse or Onze.)
