OoT PUZZLE RACE #5 -- Gathering Interest

I have created a new puzzle race goal. It is pretty awesome.

We need all the people who still play this game to enter the race!! I really want to break 20 entrants.
I want to see EVERYBODY in this race!!

When should it be? When is most convenient?
I was thinking Saturday, January 15th

Post here if you are going to enter.

Maybe.

.

this is not a paid testimonial this race will change my life

I'll be there

ya i'll do it

idk if i'll finish though lol

Some people who I would like to see enter this race:
Runnerguy2489, Kazooie, Librari, LinuzDk, Siglemic, maxx

along with other regulars.

And new people too!

I'm in. I think that weekend works for me.

Jan 15th sounds good.  I'm in.

I haven't checked yet when exactly I write the next tests after holidays, but if I have time I'll enter for sure

Sure, why not, got nothing else to do

I shall join. And set a new record for longest finish time!

unfortunately ill have to sit this one out (not that i would stay in more than an hour anyway) as for the next 9 weeks i am super busy, ill watch tho.! sicko will crush everybody!

Noon is a bit early, but i should be there

I'll probably give it a shot.

Okay, I got onto IRC.  How do the races work anyways?  Do I just announce when I start and when I finish, or do I have to film my gaming as proof?  Do we play on emulators or on consoles?

Somebody will start a race when there are multiple people who want to race with the .startrace command and set the goal with the .setgoal command. Type .enter to enter the race and .ready when you are on the file select screen. The race will start when everybody is ready or the time limit is reached. The bot in the IRC will do a countdown and give a file name. Enter it as the file name and start. Type .done when you have finished. You can find a complete list of commands here: http://www.speedrunslive.com/. We usually play on consoles. You can stream your gameplay on http://www.ustream.tv/ if you want, but it's not required.

For the puzzle race, the goal will be on an image that will be linked to in the IRC when you type .goal. If you finish the puzzle you may have to tell your route to Cosmo so he can be sure you obeyed the rules and restrictions. Good luck and I hope to see you there.

I'll try it out.

I cant. I have allstate auditions at 9 tht day, but you can message me the goal. I just wont be able to try it live. Sorry.

I'll participate I guess

I have a feeling that Shields might be banned...

I would really like join in to this one! And librari will too. I love puzzle races!! :D

Only problem is now do I have work on that day? If I have that sucks but if I do not have work them I'm in guys!

EDIT: I'm in on this one! I've day off from work on that day. Great stuff!

Sorry for double post but I needed to make attention! I need to know when this puzzle race is on EST time? So I can figure out what time it will be here where I live. I'm seven hours ahead of you guys. Thanks for information already!

Noon EST, so 7pm for you kazooie :p

It's looking less and less likely that I'll make it.

Angry

lolelminsterumadbro

Anyway, I'm not sure if I should bother entering this; I'm not the biggest fan of OoT and I'll probably end up quitting from not being able to figure it out :/

That's a poor attitude.

I feel like if you've raced OoT more than 1 time, you should enter this. Ing you've done like 30+ oot races which means you should be a definite entrant...

Meh, I'll give it a try I guess. If I do finish it'll probably take me hours though, lol.

LIKE IT WON'T TAKE ANYONE ELSE HOURS LOL
