Impromptu Speedrunning - Sunday July 11th, 2010

Then shouldn't we have a thread in the MM section?

I can't take part on saturday

Impromptu is in a few days, will anyone volunteer to lead? I can lead if nobody else does, but I'd prefer not to (and I won't have a nice looking image :( ).

Turns out I can't run this Saturday. :( Too bad, was looking forward to it even though I'd probably be pretty bad in comparison to most people. Guess I'll have to learn all of OoT's tricks by the next impromptu.

Time to go back to the regular 3rd saturday of the month scheduling.  Feb 20th is the next.

I'll hope I can attend. Wish Sunday's were the normal day, but w/e.

EDIT: Someone on the IRC came up with the idea to have OoT on Saturday one month, MM on Sunday on the next month, then OoT Sunday, MM Saturday, etc and keep alternating them.

That way every person could run at least one impromtu every 2 months if either Sunday or Saturday is a bad day for them. I like this idea a lot.

I could be willing to host it this time, if I come up with a good enough goal :). So far I have some ideas, shall just try them for real to see if they are worthy.
I won't race however, that's for sure.

yea MM better be next month

20th seems good, what game though, OoT?

This.

I'd also be willing to host an MM impromptu down the road (wrong board?).

Do we have a host/goal for this one yet? And is it going to be the usual time around 3pm EST?

due to the massive popularity of races, i admit I was wrong before about how frequent these should be, and we should do them like every weekend lol

i say 1 every 2 weeks we should defintely have 1 impromptu for mm and oot every month

Indeed. That is quite agreeable. But of course, we need to know which ones on which week. I vote that OoT first and third week, and MM second and fourth week. Also, on sundays of the new week.

I think 2 a month is a good balance; one of OoT and one of MM.

It could go:
Month 1:
1st Saturday (OoT)
3rd Sunday (MM)

Month 2:
1st Sunday (OoT)
3rd Saturday (MM)

Or something to that effect. Doesn't have to be 1st and 3rd weekends every time, but if the days alternate it at least gives people a chance to participate in the game they want every other month. If we do every single week, that's fine too and it just works more like Aki posted except I would still throw in the Saturdays.

But we can iron out the details later, we still need a host for this Saturday's OoT one.

I vote biweekly and see if it's too often or not.

So March 6th would be a MM impromptu.

I completely agree with RG here.

Biweekly ftw

i like that idea

I heard that we still don't have a host for tommorow... I don't mind doing it although I'd rather race. If no one else can then I will definitely host. I have ideas.

Impromptu today at 3:30 PM EST / 12:30 PM PST

Grunz is hosting and has an idea, all it needs is confirmation and an image/text document to put together.

Be there.

sweet ill try and be there

Grunz screwed it up so we're rescheduling for next week.  This awful planning can never happen again.  We need a host and idea a week before.

That 12 heart container challenge mentioned earlier gives me a good idea for a race.  I am going to try to be in the irc tomorrow and start the challenge at 4 pm eastern time.  I will go through with my challenge whether there are 100's or I am the only person doing it.  However, it would be preferable if someone else could host if there are others besides myself competing.

Here is how you don't start an Impromptu:

No kidding. Remen said that the goal would be given via a link. Then that was posted. I searched through it for a name... nada. Then the link was given.

Then I read the goal and then re-read it about 5 times trying to get the gist.

Overall there was too much text, a picture showing the full equipment screen + text like this would have been great:

"FILE NAME: grunzftw. The goal is to completely fill the equipment screen (all swords, shields, tunics, boots, a diving scale, bomb bag, a strength upgrade, and either the deku seed bag or quiver). None of the left-side items require uprades. The race ends upon the file name being said by Ganondorf in Ganon's Castle."

PS: Why was I kicked? I heard ZFG kicked mulitple people that were racing.... I didn;t realize I was not in #impromptu until a while into the race.
