Crazy Donkey Kong In The Dark
Welcome to a brand new Donkey Kong tournament !!!!
Hello everyone! This is a brand new type of Donkey Kong tournament that I (Eric Tessler) would like to run on my own. I have been tossing around some ideas and I came up with a new DK
contest that I would like to try out. I hope everyone enjoys it and has a lot of fun. So, here we go!
This contest will be 4 weeks in duration, consisting of 4 different events, 1 event per week (7 days for each event). This should give everyone enough time to play and submit scores for each event. Each weekly event will be announced just prior to the start of the event (so players will not know what is coming next until right before the event starts). Each event will consist of a certain play style for Donkey Kong (or Crazy Kong). During the weekly event, a player may submit multiple scores, however I will only verify one of their submissions (the highest score or the one selected by the player) and will announce the final standings several days after the event has completed. I will track standings during the event, but it will consist of unverified scores (until all score submissions are verified). In addition to standings for each event, there will be standings for the entire contest as a whole, so it is important for each player to submit at least one score for each of the 4 events.
Points will be awarded to each player who submits a score and becomes ranked in an event, based on the place that they finish within each event. Earned points will determine where a player is ranked in the overall standings (taking all events into account). Points are awarded as follows:
- 1st: 25 points
- 2nd: 20 points
- 3rd: 15 points
- 4th: 14 points
- 5th: 13 points
- 6th-7th: 12 points
- 8th-9th: 11 points
- 10th-14th: 10 points
- 15th-19th: 9 points
- 20th-24th: 7 points
- 25th-29th: 5 points
- 30th-39th: 3 points
- 40th-49th: 2 points
- 50th+: 1 point
There will be money prizes and various bounties, perhaps for each event and/or for the final contest standings. However, these will be announced *after* the completed events and at the end of the contest so each participant will be kept in the dark about potential prizes :) Players might be paid out in various brackets, but this will be announced at the end of the event/contest. If anyone would like to chip in for bounties, you can notify me after the event is announced.
Since this is a 4 week contest, and I will need to review the entire recording of every player's score submission, there is going to be a very strict score submission process that must be adhered to by each player. Please review and familiarize yourself with the full set of rules below.
Good luck to everyone!!!!

Every board should be beat as quickly as possible: no hammers and you cannot touch her umbrella, hat or purse (yes she likes making things hard on you!). If you accidentally grab a hammer or pick up an umbrella, hat or purse, your game will end right away w/o regards to how many men you have left. Look at the bounties below as well. Good luck!!!

- No hammer allowed on any board unless specified otherwise

- You may use 6 jump mans (special thanks to Ethan Daniels for this idea!)
- Board by board rules:

- Pies: no hammer allowed, you cannot jump across the gaps and you must get all prizes
- Springs: no hammer allowed (!), you must get the umbrella and hat, purse is optional, and in order to get through the right part of the screen you have to do one of the following:

2. Jump to the highest girder using the second elevator (the middle girder that most people use is not allowed)
- Rivets: You must get all of the rivets on the right side first (in any order) and then the left side (in any order), you may use only one hammer of your choice (or no hammer), and you must get all of the prizes

Score Submission Rules ***IMPORTANT***
- For each particular event, only a score for the assigned play style may be submitted.
- Players must take full responsibility for making sure their score submissions are correct and follow the correct play style as assigned for the event, as well as for following all the rules laid out in this post.
- I will only review a maximum of a single score submission for each player for each event. It is up to the player to specify which score submission I should review (in the case of multiple score submissions). If the player does not specify which submission they would like reviewed, I will review the submission with the highest score at the end of the event.
- A game will be considered terminated at the point where the player stops following the play style rules (without regards to how many lives they have left). The score of the submission will be at the time that the play style was violated.
- example: if the play style is no hammer is allowed, the game ends once the player grabs a hammer on any board (no matter how many lives they have left).
- If during the play of a particular game a player stops following the assigned play style, they may submit the score as long as they correctly specify exactly where the game ends due to the play style violation.
- If a score is submitted that does not fully follow the event's play style and the player does not specify the correct location for the end of the game, the player will receive a score of zero for the entire event and will not be allowed to submit any more scores for the event.
- If I cannot verify the full game footage to validate that the correct play style was followed for the entire game play, the submission will be rejected with no exceptions (and the player will receive a score of zero for the current event and may not submit any more scores for that specific event). As such, it is strongly recommended that players keep either the Mame recording handy or use a video recorder as a back up.
- No score submission will be accepted on the basis of witnesses, photos, etc. All submissions must have the 100% complete game footage.
- Since I will be reviewing the scores after the event has completed, please make sure your streams are properly archived so they can be reviewed (for at least 10 days).
- You cannot use save/load states, continues or any other types of cheats/tricks.
- If anyone has any questions or clarifications, please ask!!!
Prize Payouts
- Prize money will be issued in the exact amount stated, ONLY to the registered contestant.
- Prize money will be sent via PayPal or sent via U.S. post in the form of a registered money order, or check ONLY to the registered contestant.
- If the contestant rejects the prize acceptance guidelines, listed above, or chooses not to accept the prize, that prize will be dropped.
Clarifications
- Kill screen: In order to qualify for a kill screen on 22-1, we must be able to see the jump man death that is caused by the kill screen itself (dying any other way will not count).
Closing Remarks
- Please remember, at the end of the day, this is for fun and to keep the community together. Anyone who does not follow the rules, cheats, etc, will be removed from the contest, and possibly banned from all future contests.
- I reserve the right to change these guidelines at any time.
- Good luck to all contestants!!!
-
Thanks Eric :)

I almost forgot to register BibleThump

Important reminder: As stated in the rules, I will not be reviewing anyone's submitted scores until the event has ended. As such, please make sure your streaming channel is properly configured to save streams so they can be reviewed by myself early next week. I recommend saving the inp files as well just in case there are issues with your stream. It is the responsibility of the player to make sure that their streamed games are accessible by myself for review within the next week. Thanks!

Event #2 will force a complete overhaul of conveyor strategy.
There ain't no such thing as a free pass. <gasp>
-
I didn't see this in time but I justed wanted to tell you thanks and that this community is great full of fun ideas and shared ideas I've meet only really cool people on here. Thanks and I'll get in on next one!
-

As crazy-go-nuts as the new events sounds, the standard pie factory strategy is the still the best strategy for a speedrun.
EDIT: Although, the fastest speedrun would certainly include hammers when necessary.
-
I have not tried this at all yet, but my very first impression is that not being able to touch the umbrella on the rivets is going to be a much, much bigger problem than not being able to touch the purse on the conveyors...
Just think about the implications of that for a minute!
No hammer AND no prizes?? FailFish hahahaha
I understand what this tournament actually is now: it's a sadistic punishment for any and all bitching that took place during the weekend tourneys!
-
This is awesome! Going to be a lot of fun.
-
Lmao...yeah I figured nobody has tried this yet and it seems to make the rivets and pies even harder lol. Good luck everyone!!!
-

You guys should have jumped all over me for those comments.
The free pass is still there. You can jump over the purse on the bottom platform. Duh.
Note to self: Think these things through before posting.
-
I did not realize that you could jump over the purse on the pie factory board, so I changed the bounty to the fastest completion of the rivet board (makes more sense I think). Sorry guys for the confusion.
-
Sorry to go off topic a bit, but does anyone who attended KO1 remember the Billy Mitchell KoK Challenge (I think it was called that)?
I think it had to do with collecting all prizes and you had to do the super-duper (top shelf) jump on the elevators. There was more than that to it, but I forget. I wanna say on the rivets you couldn't cross a rivet hole, but that may have been in another challenge. Maybe it was no hammer as well. Anyone remember?
-
There was a fastest to lvl 5 speed run Marky that I remember.
Also Eric are you reviewing week 1 submissions now? Twitch only keeps broadcasts a few weeks now so if people don't highlight them they will be gone. I have local copies just in case :D
What does "fastest rivet lvl 5+ mean"? Fastest to get to the rivet board? Like from 1-1 -> 5-6?
Dan
-
Thanks Daniel, great questions!
Yes I am reviewing them now and will have them done in a day or two.
The bounty is for the fastest completion of a rivet board (the completion of the rivet board itself by getting all 8 rivets, this has nothing to do with getting to the rivet board). By level 5+, I mean the submission must be for a rivet board from level 5 and beyond (the first 4 rivet boards do not count). Make sense?
-
Ok got it. Depending on how you count it 34 or 35 seconds is now the time to beat :D
This is the broadcast I did it in
http://www.twitch.tv/danman123456/b/646786173 (http://www.twitch.tv/danman123456/b/646786173)
but twitch mangled this so i replayed the local copy
http://www.twitch.tv/danman123456/c/6489531 (http://www.twitch.tv/danman123456/c/6489531)
Boom :D
-
Do you submit as normal if just submitting for the bounty btw?
Dan
-
You submit it using the score submission form (specify the bounty under the additional details box).
-
Why not simply use the bonus timer to determine the fastest completion of a Level 05+ rivet stage?
-
Hey Eric,
There appears to be a formula error within the scoreboard.
It originates in the "points" column (Event #2) of Mick Winzeler's record.
The error is causing a ripple effect throughout the worksheet.
-
Yeah I saw that this afternoon...thanks for the heads up.
-
For future score submissions: please submit highlights of your game on twitch...makes it faster to verify 8) 8) 8)
-
Why not simply use the bonus timer to determine the fastest completion of a Level 05+ rivet stage?
Eric may do that and then compare if it comes down to seconds. I'm not aware of a reason that wouldn't work.
Dan
-
Reminder: please make sure your highlighted submissions are available on twitch for my review the week after the event has ended. Also if you are using mame, save the inps just in case.
I am almost done reviewing all submissions from event #1, so far so good. Nobody has submitted an invalid score ;) ;) ;)

NOTE: I had to remove Timothy Sczerby's score since I could not verify it (the link he provided was invalid). If somebody can get a hold of him, please let him know (I emailed him but received no response). If he submits me a valid link I will review it and add the score back (but he cannot win any prize money).

Highly unlikely.
Tim's oldest archived broadcast is from this afternoon. I suspect the "Automatically archive my broadcasts" option was disabled in his Twitch profile (and perhaps it still is). As a result, no videos were saved from Event #1.
-
Yeah I figured as much, but just in case he had something else saved for his game.
-
You know he's gonna hold not getting this money and recognition against you for years, right? :D :P
-
That would be his choice...nothing I can do. :)
-
Tim didn't even highlight the new personal best score he got a couple months back. FailFish
Luckily the video was saved by others.
Honestly, if this were to be put to a vote, I would vote for his no-hammer score to be accepted onto the scoreboard. No prize seems like a fair penalty, but the game did have plenty of witnesses. Without the points, it really torpedoes any chance Tim has of winning the tourney, and I like to see him do well!
But I also understand why accepting the score based on "witness testimony" might not be the best idea for the integrity of the tournament. (I'm pretty loosey-goosey about rules which is why I don't run forums or tournaments. :P)
-

Yeah, one of these days I'll have to rebroadcast that game on our DKF Twitch channel. Currently, his record on the main HSL contains a broken link in the Source field.
I also downloaded his 389,100 game (Event #2) from yesterday, in case that video also disappears before next week.

$25 to the first player to beat a level 5+ rivet board where they jumped over 2 or more fireballs (you must completely jump over the fireballs and jumping over a fireball while picking up the last rivet does not count)
Hi Eric
Does the highlighted above have to be at once? Or is it separate occasions throughout the same board
Thanks!
-
Either works 8)
-
Eric please disregard my bounty claim and recent submission...just watched the replay back and I didn't grab all the prizes on lvl 1 elevators FailFish
Apologies for any inconvenience.
My mistake.
-
No problem Adam - I don't review them until the event ends so you are good, I will disregard it.

Crazy Kong time!!! This variation is no hammer and you must collect all of the prizes on all boards (purse, hat and umbrella). Be sure to read the rules about which Crazy Kong version to use (Falcon).
Event #3 runs from April 13, 2015 12:00 am pacific to April 19, 2015 11:59 pm pacific.
I plan to delete the ckong romset no later than 30 seconds after this event ends.
Forget the recycle bin. Shift + Delete. Straight to oblivion.
Bet your life savings on it.

You sir, are one crazy ****
:D
-
LOL...this should make a fun and crazy event ;D ;D ;D
-
WTF I give up lol <Wiebe> Ill happily watch all of you suffer through this though <popcorn> Kappa
-
I love the insanity of this challenge.
I officially dub this the "Tessler Run" (can anyone do it in under 12 parsecs?), and will be adding it to the DK challenges list after the competition. Anyone will be able to submit their score for the "Tessler Run" in that thread as well.
-
LOL yeah, this should be an interesting event 8)
-
I plan to delete the ckong romset no later than 30 seconds after this event ends.
As of today at 9:45 AM (EDT), the ckong.zip archive is still present in my roms folder.
I've softened my attitude on the game to "dislike" (an upgrade from "intensely dislike").

Event #4: April 20, 2015 12:00 AM Pacific to April 26, 2015 11:59 PM Pacific
- Description: Back to Donkey Kong! Here are the rules:
- General rules:
- No hammer allowed on any board unless specified otherwise
- You must get all the prizes on all the boards (however you may skip the purse on the springs)
- You may use 6 jump mans (special thanks to Ethan Daniels for this idea!)
Hey Eric,
I'm guessing that 7 is the number of total lives (6 plus 1 bonus life). Is that correct?
Also, will the bonus life setting remain at 7000 points? The other options are 10K, 15K, and 20K.
-
Yep 7 lives total (the dip settings can be set at 6 lives for this event). The extra life setting should stay the same (7000 points).
-
Hey Eric couple of questions:
1. What happens if we make a platform jump on the conveyors? Is it instant game over?
2. Same scenario with the jump onto the middle ledge on the elevators. Is it game over? Or can we jump back and re-attempt a top shelf or go the long way
Thanks
-
Thanks for your questions. Any violation of the game play rules results in the immediate termination of the game when the rule violation occurred. For example, let's say on the pie stage you have 100,000 points and you accidentally jump over one of the gaps. Your game will then be considered over at 100,000 points (no matter how many lives you have left). You also may submit that game for 100,000 points as long as you identify on the submission that you violated the rules at that point in the game.
This is made to be very difficult on purpose 8)
Good luck!!!!
-
Awesome. Thanks for the clarification Eric!
-
Boooooo i was just going to ask that. I just jumped a gap and didnt need to no one was anywhere close to me. Can't a death be good enough penalty BibleThump
J/K I figured it was game over but BAH i think a ton of people are going to accidently do that one <Tim>

Hey Eric,
I'm loving this whole "mystery bounty" thing. Where else can I be rewarded with cash & merchandise for playing like a complete putz during these tournament events?
If it's acceptable to you, I'd like to add the $25 to the $50 I've already contributed to a future bounty. It's the same one I suggested via PM after the last tournament:
$75 for the first player to score at least 9000 points on a Level 05+ elevator stage
Whaddaya say? :)
-
Scott, I have no problem with that....my only question is, do you mean this bounty is for a future DK contest?
-

It could begin with the current "in the dark" event (#4), or a future contest.
Your choice. :)
Once activated, I hope to see the bounty continually rolled forward until claimed.
-
Okay cool, sounds good Scott. I will have this part of my next contest, and roll it forward until someone wins it. :) :) :)
Thanks!
-

Thanks Jon! I tried to make it that way and it looks like it worked out...wanted to do something different and it was indeed challenging and fun! :) :) :)

Another challenging yet enjoyable event is in the books.
Thank you, Eric. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by the community.
Special accolades go out to Chuck Vess, who managed to tie for 19th place overall, out of 32 participants.
You heard it here first:
Tess + Vess = Success
Someone should add that to the CAG verses (https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?topic=1255.msg21941#msg21941) thread. No thanks necessary. It's a freebie.
-
LOL...Chuck had a hell of a time playing in these...he forgot about event #4 so he missed that one ;)
-
Thanks for another great tournament Eric. Had lots of fun and achieved my biggest DK goal. You showed lots of creativity in your challenges , way to go, is getting all the prizes in alphabetical order next on the list?
-
Yep lol

Hey Eric,
