Title: TBRX's Puzzle Race
Post by: TBRX on March 30, 2012, 02:43:09 AM
Hey everyone, I have what I think is a good idea for a puzzle race that I'm looking to get people to be interested to play. I'm not sure if this is the right section to be posting in, but I am here.

Duration should be somewhere around 1 to 2 hours for an average player. Well Chus are not required, but may help, same with DoT Skip.

My puzzle goal revolves around the idea that when you speed run a game, you sometimes forget the regular intended sequences that don't play a role in speedrunning, so it will be a test of wits as well as speed running ability.

It's based around intermediate skill, and shouldn't take people longer than the 2 hours if they know how to do the previously listed tricks.

So with that said, anyone up for the challenge?

Right now Sockfolder already has a puzzle race planned, so wait until after that happens to schedule this I would say. I am interested in this, but from your description are you sure it's a "puzzle"?

Well from what my understanding is a puzzle goal is a series of random objectives with certain specifications that must be followed, and once those objectives are complete then the run is over. Unless I am mistaken, that's what this is based around.

A puzzle is just that, you need to think and problem solve to find the solution. This may or may not fit your goal. For a random goal with certain specifications you can just play bingo or cosmosis, where a solution is more obvious.
I'm not doubting your ability to know what a puzzle is just trying to clarify.
