Couldn't join cuz I had no internet, so I just went through with my original plans of going to the mall.

This should be more than once a month; there's too long a wait between them. Especially when you consider Saturdays are bad for people most of the time. Sunday biweekly would be nice.

What was the challenge? Can't tell...

Lex, goal was to get each dungeon's main item (slingshot, bomb bag, boomerang, bow, hamer, longshot, hover boots, miror shield). And then end by the sign outside your house.

I placed 5th...and I think I'm the only one that had to start over? LOL fail on route planning.


Here's how it went down:

-Sword Shield
-slingshot
-pokey escape
-gold scale
-ruto bottle
-Jabu jabu
-boomerang
-fail at cucco jump 15 minutes fml give up

-Dot skip
-hookshot
-set up RBA stuff
-Deku stick on B
-WTF MY GAME FREEZES WHEN ATTEMPTING BOTTLE ON B...because I got deku stick at kid figuring "I might need this". lol epic fail.
-Game is essentially screwed, can't get bombs, can't get bow, can't get hover boots, could beat FT and get 10 skulltulas and buy broken knife but still don't have enough to get back through DoT.
-fuck that shit, I restart.
-Lose of like 1 hour 15 minutes or so

-Same but this time I get cucco jump
-Epic wasteland fails
-Learn requiem

-Adult
-RBA stuff works this time
-Bombs from DC
-Shadow early and hover boots

-Forest
-Bow goes well

-Go for longshot
-enter Water temple with ocarina dive because god damn my dive meter went to 1 (mp had this problem too)
-fish dive like a pro
-FUCK I DON'T HAVE LULLABY TO LOWER WATER FUCKING SHITTTTTT
-leave

-more RBA stuff
-Getting lullaby deletes Requiem...GOD DAMN RBA SUCKS BALLS
-Finally get back to water temple and get longshot

-Get red tunic
-Hammer time

-Off to spirit
-Can't do hammer boost whatev get card
-mirror shield

-win

Most of my fail was from route planning, I actually had some pro superslides and crap but my stream got eaten twice so I probably don't have the recording.  :'(

I dont quite remember what place I held (think it was 8th), but yeah. Fun as hell, but fair warning: if you have no fucking idea what you're doing (like me from JJB on.), I wouldn't participate expecting anything D:

Anyways, here's how mine went down:
Sword, shield, the usual business.
Deku tree, slingshot
Pokey escape
Zelda's letter & lulla
Botw chus
DC (this one was kinda lol), bomb bag
Lake Hylia, gold scale and Ruto's letter bottle
JJB (this one was even more loltastic), boomerang
bean plant (dont ask why. :/ I didnt even plant it)
Graveyard for Hylian Shield
DoT skip (this took me 40+ minutes >_>)
attempted Shadow early (fail)
journey to forest temple (spent a good 15 minutes trying to get past mido. fail)
Forest temple (forfeit after trying to get to arrows and having a huge nerve-shot brainfart)

Yup. It was fun though, had a good time :D

Got me 1st place with a time of 2:28

ZFG, you may be first place in my heart but w/o any proof you aren't officially 1st place

As long as you guys know I was really 1st :).  On the page just put a * next to my time saying I was really 1st and just couldn't prove it.

Yeah, these are way too much fun to only have once a month.

My concern is we won't get good turnouts if it's more often than once a month

and keeping up the fresh ideas might be harder too

But putting it on Sunday seems pretty legit, would it work better for more people on sunday? Or keep it on saturday?

What date would work best in December for you guys?

didn't read any routes yet (other than trying to find out what it was from ice and blizz's) but I think this is how i would've done it:
-sword and shield
-slingshot
-pokey escape
-lullaby
-saria's song
-bracelets
-bombs
-botw early
-bombchus easy, intended, and non-manly way
-lake hylia
-scarecow song
-golden scale
-ruto bottle
-show king
-get fish
-jjb
-boomerang
-dot skip
-pocket egg
-bugs
-hookshot
-shadow temple via dampe hut
-hover boots
-minuet
-bow
-goron city
-hit rolling goron with arrow>bomb flower
-fire temple
-megaton hammer
-steal epona, ride to lake hylia
-steal rod
-bottle on b
-black gauntlets
-ride epona over gerudo bridge
-gate skip
-cross wasteland
-nayrus love
-mirror shield
-water temple
-nayru dive, get 2 keys
-savewarp
-longshot
-minuet
-house

but knowing my routes, they usually wind up incompletable

edit: @cosmo- What do you mean by turnouts? We'd get a different batch of people every time, plus interest would rise because it'd be a bigger deal. The same person doesn't always have to host it, plus there are infinite possibilities. I can think of ten good ones off the top of my head.

Here's my recorded run. (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2611137) Last 10 minutes are cut off because of the 3 hour limit for recording.

Was a lot of fun failing miserably everywhere. My Fire Temple and Water temple are especially failtastic. Here's the route which is basically just a slightly altered MST SS route.

Sword/Shield
Pokey Escape
Lullaby
Die 2 times trying to get Well Chus
To DC
Get my shield burnt right before the bomb bag
Get the Bomb Bag on my 2nd go
Shadow Temple for Hover Boots
To Hylia
Gold Scale
Ruto Bottle
JJB w/o fish
Boomerang
DoT Skip
To Kakariko
Super Fail on Dampe Race, got like 1:01
Up to GC
Kill myself blowing up the boulders to go to Lost Woods <---- wtf
2 Minutes trying to Mido Skip
I go to store a ground jump in SFM and trigger the Navi text(god im awful)
I fall down trying to sidehop across like a retard and get owned by moblins a bunch
Finally make it into Forest Temple
Goes pretty good up to bow, I grabbed a fairy to play it safe in the first stalfos room. It paid off because I DIED against the 2 stalfos.
Death warped out then headed back to GC
Up death mountain and then proceed to die and waste another fairy that I had saved for Fire temple
I make it into the Fire Temple with 2 seconds to spare on the timer.
The Fire Temple is just 1 fail after another and a bunch of close calls with the heat timer.
Finally get Hammer and death warp to entrance and then savewarp to ToT.
Mess up like 4 superslides to Hylia and when I finally get one I'm already at the fence and I wait like an idiot.
Takes me like 10 minutes to get into the Water Temple to realize I have no fish/bug to bottle dive.
So I exit and run to the field and grab a fish, then back to the Water Temple.
I waste a ton of time trying to get the first small key in the temple and finally just hover down to it.
Get Longshot then death warp to entrance.
Head to Gerudo Valley and try to superslide across while the people in the chat are yelling at me that I have the fucking longshot.
Waste a good amount of time trying to gate skip but I finally got it.
Made it to Spirit.
Spend another good deal of time trying to block skip.
I fucking die killing the Anubis because I only had one heart when I jumped into the void(lol idiot again).
FINALLY I get the mirror shield and somehow claim first place because I didn't really make any route mistakes, just horrible execution.

16 deaths bitches.

Longshot
Minuet, SFM to LW (easy hover SS across maze since NL was still on, lol)
LW to Kokiri
Read sign

This was really fun.  The Spirit Temple ruined me (along with the Guays) and my route wasn't great.  I definitely should've gone with some RBA stuff since it's what I know how to do already, and Mirror Shield as child sounds 100x better since I was already there with a Slingshot and Chus.  It sucked that everybody started quitting, though.

I think we should expect about 40% of the players to quit every time. This one was long, though.

That was my first impromptu run, and I had a lot of fun & learned a lot. I'll be participating in the next too

i raped

runnerguy: no you weren't the only one who had to start over, remember i got frustrated the first time and quit and then started over about an hour later around the same time you restarted :D

The only reason I quit was because I hadn't slept in 3 days, and my eyes were shot so I couldn't see shit in the desert. the booze didn't help.  Siglemec has motivation. I couldn't play zelda for 7 hours straight! I played for 4 hours.

Here's something that I thought of that made me quit:

An average MST SS takes 3:30-3:45. that's with beating every dungeon, long ass cutscenes and shit. I was at 4:18 when I quit. the fuck?

yeah but MST SS allows for practice. Impromptu does not; you have to improvise as you go.

To those discouraged by the length, it won't usually be this long. It was only this huge because it was OoT's birthday.

the longer the better in my opinion  :-\

That's what she said.


On topic: Im participating in the next one for sure, please make it in two weeks or something :)

As we've already decided, we are only doing these once a month. This boosts attendence and will not exhaust ideas as quickly.

how can ideas possibly be an issue?

I can come up with a list of over 100 possible challenges.

And... what does having this more regularly have to do with attendance?
