DUE to lack of interest and that no new ppl wants to even try the HD summer challenge I will stop this challenge. No prizes will be paid out as this community doesn´t deserve it

Tnx for everyone who wanted to try, this message is not for the ones who put effort in it.

You should all blame the rest for not wanting to show interest.

I'd like to have a go at this. Tho I suck at TGM it will be cool to test

I'm interested in playing this.  I remember having fun with 20G SRS on Blockbox.  BTW, the money will come out of the HD prize fund.

FOOL, KEVINDDR can get GM on this, and is the only player capable of it.



QuoteLike many setups here, it is useful if your opponent doesn't move and you get 4 Ts in a row.

how do you know how quick the piece will lock? Nullpo doesn't seem to have a timer anywhere

In.

Let's see that youngest GM title go to me (:<

Also, for those fortunate to live right near a TGM3 machine, is it allowed to use that?

By feel? Just man up and get used to it (and lock pieces manually). It's not like real TGM games give you a timer.

@Paul

The piece when the timer kicks in the piece brightens up, then it fades into a darker color- that's your timer.

Also 180 is disabled, kinda dumb reminds me of tf

goofer: I know it says pretty damn clearly in the OP that we have to use SRS, but can players not use ARS if they want to?

Any actual reason why? SRS is a sh**load easier than ARS is, so it's not like it should make a huge difference to the top of the rankings.

Only reason I'd like ARS to count is because then I'll actually participate. Otherwise I probably won't bother because I've got other things I'm currently training for and TGM SRS definitely isn't ever likely to be one of them.

Also seems odd to have the "These modes are awesome with ARS" stuff in the OP if ARS scores are then not allowed

From OP:
[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]Why this challenge?

To show members the world of the 20G marathons (tgm) with the world rotation.[/quote]

But yeah, I think that players should be playing under the same rotation system for fairness.  Allowing players to purposely handicap themselves against the rest of the field would sort of make ARS records weighted or more important due to its increased difficulty.  Participants would be forced to devote time and learn how to use ARS if they want their records to matter more in this challenge, which is the main problem that goofer is hoping to address by making this SRS 20G.  

Not my challenge though, so up to goofer.

Also:  I have a question.  How come not Expert TI mode!

What Blink said + ARS is outdated.
