SMWC's Monthly Gaming Get-together! - July 2017 - SMW Randomizer Speedrun

Yo! Welcome to SMWC's monthly gaming get-together. Here's what you need to know!

1. At the start of each month, everyone votes for a gaming event to take place for the month. This could be an online game, speedrunning contest, or tournament.
2. On the specified date for the month, everyone who has signed up for event should be there to participate in it.
3. In the case of multiplayer events or tournaments, no-showing on the day or dropping out may result in being banned from future events if it causes any disruption or trouble, so be sure to withdraw your sign up before the day if you can't attend.


Nominations Closing: 19th July
Date: 23th July
Time: 7PM UCT

To make things easier, we would appreciate it if you hopped on SMWC's official Discord server (click here). If you are attending this month, let us know so we can give you access to the gaming event channel.
Oh, I didn't realise you were gonna put SMW randomizer speedruning! All time best gaming times 👌
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
sign up.

pls make the timeframe reasonable
When does the poll close #wario{-_-?} I need glasses...
(might as well note I'm signing up in case it's SMW Randomizer, else I don't own any of those games and I'm not interested in them either.)

I think I'll sign up, although I have to ask, will some form of VoIP (i.e. Discord) be used for online games and races? Heck I feel like it would be flat-out neeeded for the SMW Randomizer race.

I should be able to parcipate at any reasonable GMT time (I'm stupid enough to stay up late) and the games that I can/am willing to play are:

SMW Randomzier Speedrunning Contest
Overwatch Mini Tournamant
Pokemon Showdown Random Battle Tournamant even though i sucked at the last time I entered a Pokémon contest
Super Smash Bros Tournamant

I'm down for some SMW randomizer speedrunning contest (the rest either doesn't interest me or I don't own the games in question). I should be available all day on Easter Sunday (except between 5-6 PM CEST (4-5 PM BST, 3-4 PM UTC) and past 10:30 PM CEST (9:30 PM BST, 8:30 PM UTC))

I assume we'd all play on the same seed, right? Otherwise, I don't think it'd make a lot of sense.

Yup, same seed, same challenge. From experience just "beat the game" ends pretty fast and relies on too much luck, so me and friends came up with some cooler categories (all castles, all switches etc.). We could use these.

I'll join if there's a Smash Wii U tournament.

EDIT: 101st post in an actual prominent place? This nowhere near justifies editing all my milestone posts though.
*everything stops*
Yeah, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation...
*cut to next post*
No Counter Strike GO? :c

Sunday suits me anyway so, I might record my perspective. Not sure what I'd do with it but it might be a bit of craic like.
so when the poll ends how the events ocurrs?

(also why no be the age of empires2 and touhou hitsesoku)
ESPACIO EN RENTA
Showdown might be fun actually, though I dont know if I will even join if its Sun and Moon based, since I dont have the game yet, and I'm a bit rusty on my Pokemon skills, so I'll probably do horribly even if it IS ORAS based. meh

It would be cool to have Rocket League or Paladins. I would go for Overwatch, but i don't own the game so... Paladins would be nice.

Update time!

@All of the "why not X game" posts: I'll include those games in the next poll, as well as rotate out whatever game wins this poll (probably speedrunning) and anything with 0 votes.

For next month's poll, you'll also be able to vote for multiple games at once.


Regarding the speedrunning contest:

Yeah, everyone will be in a discord server made specifically for the event (this goes for other events too).
Additionally, I will most likely be asking for video evidence of all speedruns to make sure nobody's cheating/using tools. My plan is to give out trophies/badges each month, or at least some kinda award, and if I do so I gotta make sure nobody can cheat on it.
Should speedrunning win, I'll post the full rules and probably a guide on how to get videos on thursday, unless a better anti-cheating method comes up in that time anyway.

Shouldn't be too bad since it's randoms. Don't have to worry about team building and whatnot.

I voted Pokemon, but it looks like SMW Randomizer is winning.
By Smash Bros. Tournament, I assume you are referring to Sm4sh, right? Call me back when Project M is in the polls. I won't have any free time this weekend, anyway.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not saying this out of hate for Sm4sh. I lended my WiiU to someone else and hardbricked my 3DS. Fun times. #wario{:<}
Would it be possible to have a Madden 17 tournament sometime if enough people are interested? I wasn't sure if anyone else on here liked it, but it's just a suggestion.
Sorry for posting a tad late =p

Anyway, seems like this is officially the SMW Randomzier Speedrunning Contest this month?

So how exactly are we doing this?

Firstly, a discord has been set up for chatting/etc. during the contest. Talking in the discord isn't mandatory, it's just for fun.


The speedrunning contest will function as follows:
1. Timezones suck. With that said, the pending time on sunday will be the tried and tested "kinda late for europe, kinda early for australia" time which almost works if you don't mind waking up at 5am or staying up late at night.
This means the event is gonna start at 9PM BST / 4PM EDT.

2. 10 minutes before the event starts, I'm gonna post the patch for the rom. Everyone has from then to download and patch it, and make sure it works, but you can't start til the event starts.

3. Once you finish the race, you need to either message me in discord or send me a private message that you finished at that time. This should be done exactly as you finish in-game, before sending me a video or anything else.

4. At any time after the race, I'll need a video of you speedrunning the game, so be sure to be ready to record one when the race starts.


General rules are as follows:
1. The race is 'Finished' after beating the final boss and triggering the credits.

2. No tools can be used, including savestates, slowdown, fast forwards and rewinds.

3. In order to qualify as a winner you need to message me as soon as you finish the race, and upload a video of your speedrun. Otherwise you won't be able to place with everyone else.
