This is now officially the thread for putting up money for people to try to beat the Arcade and MAME DK world records (or both). Kreygasm
Current Bounty totals:
DK Arcade WR (must be beaten on Arcade): $0
DK MAME WR (must be done on MAME): $0
Highest DK Score across both platforms (i.e. Beat Wes' score of 1.218m) (can be done on either platform): $0
Beat Steve Sanders' score of 3,165,300 using the No killscreen ROM hack: $50 (last added: Ken)
Obtain a score of 800,000 or more on CK; must be eligible for the DKF CK HSL to count (Expires 31 Dec 2016) $100 (last added: Barra)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
I'm assuming most people just want the highest score (across both MAME and Arcade) to be beaten (regardless of which platform the new record is achieved on), but if you have a particular preference to which you want to contribute, please specify in your postings.
Also, if you want to put a bounty up on some other DK variant, you're more than welcome. Just specific your wish, and I'll add it to the list.
Each time a bounty is claimed the total will be re-zeroed.
The current world record holder on any particular platform (or across both) is eligible to beat themselves to claim a bounty.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bounties Achieved:
14,000 on 1-1 (either platform; one life; no save state; submitted to DKF and TG for full amount): $20USD and $100NZD -Achieved by Wflimusic (Adam, Barra, and Scott have all paid their portions of this bounty) Bounty Closed
70,000 Level 5+ (either platform; one life; no save state): $20 -Achieved by Robbie Lakeman (Both Scott and Adam have paid their $10 portions of this bounty) Bounty Closed

Bounties Removed
9,000 level 5+ Elevator stage (either platform; one life; no save state): $20 (last added: Drunkguy89) -removed since the DKOs have the same bounty but for more $$$
-
I put up $20 for someone to beat the overall highest score across both platforms. Can be done on either platform.
-
Chuck in $20 for 3rd option Kreygasm
I was thinking a bounty for beating Steve Sanders' 3 million pt score, I have no idea how easy/hard/if even possible it would be though (obvs on no KS rom)
-
How will the money be handled?
Will you, Mitch, collect and pool the money (in a paypal account, for example), or is this a pledge system?

Hmmm... I was initially thinking people can just get their money to the person on good faith (whether via paypal or some other means), but didn't Jeff set up some sort of paypal account when we were raising money over Christmas for George? Did that work well, Jeff? I'd prefer to have people just deliver/send the money themselves, but if we want I can figure something out. For now let's just make pledges, but if you don't currently have a paypal account, it wouldn't hurt to make one.
-
I'll contribute $40, to be distributed evenly over 4 separate bounties:
- Highest DK score across both platforms
- The first person to score 14,000 on Level 1-1 (on one life, obviously)
- The first person to score 9,000 on any Level 05+ elevator stage (also on one life)
- The first person to achieve 70,000 on any individual level (excluding points from deaths)
Other information:
- Save states are not allowed
- The entire game must be available for review
-
but didn't Jeff set up some sort of paypal account when we were raising money over Christmas for George?
No, Ken House handled that.
-
Ok, thanks, Jeff. I'll have to ask Ken how he ended up setting that all up.
I'll be busy at the CAGDC tourney today, but later tonight I'll kinda restructure the first post so that we I can organize into it more specific bounties like Scott's. Keep the bounties coming!
-
Awesome thread,
I'll match Scott's 40$ split over those same bounties he listed.
I will make a pay pal account and need a week to get a chance to visit the bank.
-
Scott, I'm assuming you wanted the 70K on level 5+ bounty to be one life, right? Otherwise people can just die if a board goes poorly to get another shot at doing it better.
Also, I'm assuming that for ALL of your bounties whichever platform it is achieved on is irrelevant, correct?
Thanks.
-

I didn't intend to impose a "one life" rule on the 70K bounty. However, I'll agree to that change if it makes matters less confusing, especially if other similar bounties carry that requirement.
I'm also not restricting the 70K to Level 05 and beyond. The way I see it, if anyone can manage 70K on an earlier level, more power to them.
My main stipulation is that the score must be achieved during a "real" game. I don't want someone playing a Level XX save state over and over.
Also, I'm assuming that for ALL of your bounties whichever platform it is achieved on is irrelevant, correct?
You are correct, sir.
I would have suggested additional bounties for the barrel, conveyor, and rivet stages, but I'm less confident as to what the "magic score" should be.

This would be fun to try. I think this romhack has been discussed in other threads. Does anyone have a link to these other threads and / or have more info about this romhack and where we might find it?

Hey Dean, you can get the "no killscreen" ROM here:
DK No Killscreen ROM (https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=364.0;attach=296)
Here are a couple of links to related forum topics:

I'm busy right now, but I will deal with this later tonight...
Ethan, from the shoutbox:
"hey, i really hate to even mention this, but I just noticed that 4 of the bounties in the "wr" bounties thread were offered by adam. I would like to honor those bounties. Mitch, if you could edit the op, such that it says something like "offered by drunkguy89 (honored by f_symbols)" that way we can keep the fact that he started them, but also keep them active"

The bounties listed above were offered more than 2 years ago, but are still up for grabs.
Robbie's recent Level 06 score of 71,200 on April 10-11 is eligible for the 70K bounty. Unless someone has adequate documentation of an earlier achievement, the enormous $10 cash prize is all his.
-
Nice call, Scott (you never forget these things, do you! ;) )
Is Adam still around on the forums? If not, I believe Ethan had said he was going to honor them. So, that would make it a $20 bounty.
My initial plan was for each person who promised a bounty to work out the transfer with the winner in a way that works best for them (I was assuming paypal would be best).
Once the reward has been transferred, let me know, and I will remove the bounty from the listing (I don't want to remove it too soon, in case we accidentally forget to make good on our offers).

Adam is still around ;)
I'll be contacting Robbie tonight.
71,200 fk me how? Kreygasm
-
Bump.
It has come to my attention that one of the bounties was beating Dean's score on either platform. If those involved in said bounty offers could contact Wes and deal with him directly that would most excellent. Just PM me when your part(s) of the bounty have been paid and when all is squared up I will edit this thread accordingly.
Thanks!
-
All the people involved with the WR bounty have contacted me confirming their payment (Wes requested the money go to Doctors Without Borders, with which we all complied), so I will be resetting that bounty to zero.
Additionally, it was decided via some PMing that it would be best to transfer the bounty for getting 9K+ on an elevator board to the DKO tournament bounty for the same thing to avoid confusion. I will be zeroing out that bounty as well.

Hey Andrew,
I think you mean 60K after Level 02 and 100K after Level 03.
Otherwise, those bounties will be claimed within the next 45 minutes.

Oops! Thanks Scott, I'll fix that right up.
Luckily I didn't offer anything for those ones ;)

For those that had $ put up for 14k+ on 1-1, please contact me via PM once your portion has been delivered so that I can fully remove that bounty from the list. Thanks!
EDIT: I have been contact by all parties involved. The 14k 1-1 bounty has now been closed.

Just for clarification: If no one achieves the bounty by year's end, do you want me to completely remove the bounty, or simply lower it back down to $20?

Have to be honest this was more of a meme bounty as I didn't think it would actually happen, and so soon!!. I did intend for it to expire but never made a post or an edit, guess I need to get my wallet out! (bury me) (http://burymewithmymoney.com/) Kappa
Congrats JP! With you around I'll have to think twice before offering up any more dough ;D
