Awesome! This is for best time, not first finish, right? What material will the trophy be? =D

[mr.potato]

:)

right, trophy for best time which is made until deadline.

here some motivation ;)
i like this design, maybe others will like too.

[Tigro]

ez.

[mr.potato]

i am serious with this.
you should be too.
btw. there are like 10 impsy routes/styles to make in this.
but if u really can do these routes, pls save recs, thx :)

[gimp]

this level is truly amazing, ive gotten up to some 130 apples in it and it has great playability and is well made, also figuring out how to make everything fit seemed like it wouldve been a headache. this must of taken days upon days to make. hopefully trophies will motivate some good times. this level is better than smibu080 (no offense smibu) and it is definitely harder playing too. my guess is a bit longer as well? anyways just finishing it seems impsy.

[Lousku]

I think I'll take some benzos, print out a map and cross out apples while saferiding to teh max. That'll result in a bad time but merely finishing would be a very nice accomplishment. That being said, let's hope some others will put in effort for a decent time.

That trophy design is very najs, can you send them a figure for the center circle or will it be something generic?

[Tigro]

good lev, nice, playable.
but i cant play well when eol is lagging once per 10 mins. idiath server.

[Bjenn]

Blame server when you can't play well ¨=D

[gimp]

i was thinking, if you look at the pic tigro posted this level would make an excellent children's maze.

[Igge]

i was thinking, if you look at the pic tigro posted this level would make an excellent children's maze.

God I loved making mazed when I was young. Maybe that's why I like making complex-ish levels nowadays)

[Tigro]

now when started to.. ehm... "hoyl" this lev, i see that teh pic has some errors in routes. but just minor.

[mr.potato]

thx for the nice comments

and yes, it took quite long long to make. in the end i'm not that happy with the first 16 mins part, which was done first. also edited this quite a lot since it was the baddest part after i finished the whole lev and still is imho :D
so i'm glad some ppl like it.
figuring out to make everything fit was not that hard, maybe i'm somehow familiar with this :D
it gives you new ideas for some tricks, some routes and stuff, when u testplay. instead of just placeing vertices somewhere, putting them near together will result in less freedom, but imho this way things are getting more interesting. so some design things will always feel different even when they might look similar.

oh, some might notice that the parts feel different and this is just the result of making this every now and then when i had time^^

it is longer, ye. if u do every part first try and go throu the lev like u know what to do, it will take around 78mins.

the middle part of the trophy is laser-engraved according to the manufacturer, and can be anything. so i can choose a logo or make one myself^^


good luck everyone btw. have fun xD

[Markku]

This certainly is quite a remarkable lev. I seem to have the honour of being the first to announce: finished!

The monster was defeated in 92 minutes 47.74 seconds. In the later stages there were a number of problematic parts costing me time, but nevertheless I have absolutely no intention of improving.

In particular, the last third surprised me with its increasing difficulty. Now, I admit it was of course partly due to the fact that when entering an unknown territory after some 60 minutes of driving, taking risks wasn't really a tempting option... but in any case, for those who follow, you might occasionally need to put your thinking cap on.

[Lukazz]

sick. too bad we won't be able to see the whole run.

[jblaze]

80:08:45 :]]
its been pretty good run for my standards, except i lost SIX MINUTES at the end :s
i feel like playing it again cause of that fail, but surely not now, 72 or better seems doable

[Lukazz]

sorry, no way. i just played a 40 mins run and then esced. i can't concentrate for that long.

[Bludek]

wow, nice jbl, you're the man

[jblaze]

hoah, 70:12:13
only a few minor flaws which couldve made the run about 1min slower and one bigger nabbing at the end again, lost about 2mins there.
68 or even better seems to be just matter of next run, but i think 70 will do for now)

[mr.potato]

damn guys.
congratulations so much for finishing this.


thanks for the nice comments markku.
and you're right, the difficulty increases a bit in some parts during the end.

jb, you are awesome, really.
this is just an insane time imho, and you already finished twice.
i guess markku's finish urged you too much, since you were hoyling this quite long now.^^

everyone else, there is still one and a half month left.
wish you all good luck in finishing, not bad to have it i guess.
it looks harder than it is, it's just longer than it looks, so keep trying :)

---
btw it's so sad for me not to see you guys riding and finishing, since i always love spying ppl in ff levs.
especially in big ff levs.


actually i feel like i wanna do more ff levs like this, but it just takes to much time in fine tuning every part.
maybe some day.
but i guess it won't happen.

[jblaze]

few hours left, 67 is waiting for someone to make!

[pawq]

lol jbl you're 2nd last
sach nab

[jblaze]

and Markku 1st... again...

[Pascal]

Markku is just unbeatable : ))

[twipley]

markku is... o_o avatar.

[Xiphias]

Why didn't I know about this level? I probably wouldn't have finished it anyway but still! Looks extremely rad!

[twipley]

here some motivation

mr.potato... ez extend some more? seems trophies will not even all get distributed the state it is now.

(although there is no way i am finding the time to finish that lev... would take the perfectionism i am days.)

[jblaze]

3599 seconds of the run, if anyone cares:

[twipley]

give me one more year and i swear i am getting first place next summer. sweet-trophies motivation.

[mr.potato]

so, deadline is finally over.
thx everyone for participating or even trying^^

---
and we have 2 ppl who had the balls, patience and dozens of horseshoes to defeat this huge monster.
congratualations to you both.

1. 01:10:12,13 jblaze
2. 01:32:47,74 Markku


extra props to jblaze for finishing twice and nearly hoyled the shit out of this^^

twipley already noticed and i have to say sorry, those cool looking trophies i had chosen back in march are not available anymore.
that's really sad, i already looked for different ones, but none of them are cool enough for my taste.
i already sent an email to this company, if they are getting some of these again soon. i haven't recieved a reply so far.
i keep you informed about this.


next thing
sorry twipley, deadline is over.
sorry xiphias, u can still play, but nothing to win xD

i think it was long enough for everyone to finish this.
also i don't think it's fair to jb and mark who already finished, to extend the time.
possible option would be to wait until a 3rd person finish. and regardless of the finishing time he will be placed 3rd. then trophies might be available again and we have a full podium placing. If that way of thinking is worth striving for just tell me.

for those who missed this, bad luck, there were enough info imho.


in the end, i hope u had fun with this

[Tigro]

in the end, i hope u had fun with this

yes, i had.

[twipley]

that's cool.

i thought you had personally made the trophies, though, which made it coolest in that mind of mine.

[Tigro]

eh, twipley, are you chasing teajay in 10k posts?

[twipley]

nah, just trying to pass you.

[mr.potato]

- manufacture decided to stop production of this product
- dunno why someone can be so goddamn stupid
- there is a chance, that somewhere may be some few pieces left, i just dunno how to find
- i will take something else
- no special prize, because not enough ppl finished

- food is good, keep up respect for what you eat
