Better chuck a $50'er in there for me (whatever currency you are using, Jry). However I'll pay it to the highest scoring player as at the end of the contest (assuming both get over 900k)

Well, technically the contest ends when one of them scores 900k, even if that happens before July 17th.

Allen put in 900,000 attempts and Brian gave 900,000 excuses. In the end, 900k proved to be too difficult for both of them. If they can't do it in 7 weeks with big $$$ on the line, will it ever happen?

This is all hindsight of course, but perhaps it would have helped if they had pushed for stronger starts...strong for them being 110k tops. That way it might have been easier to maintain 900k instead of falling behind halfway through the game.

I believe there is currently a $400 bounty for the first player (Brian or Allen) to reach 900k. Any guesses on who will win the bounty? I don't think there is a time limit.

Based on the DK score list:

Staal - 871,900
Allen - 880,500

I think my money would have to be on Brian Allen just cuz he's closer to the goal, points-wise.  <popcorn>

They've both talked about retirement, so it could be either or neither.

Yesterday Brian had posted an effort above 1m p a c e, around L7 as i recall. He seems to be frontloading his games to account for dropping p a c e towards the end of the game. This post on fb has since been removed, but i don't blame him. At this point, any strategic advantage must be taken on his part, as Allen is getting close to striking distance. Allen has a history of becoming apathetic when he doesn't feel threatened by the competition, so it's smart on Brian's part to keep his scores in the dark. On a side note, Allen's gameplay went to shit shortly after Brian made an appearance in his chat, but I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. This will be an interesting next few days...

Since Brian has chosen to attack me while simultaneously blocking me and sending clowns who have issued death threats to me into my Twitch channel (http://imgur.com/I6DwqXK), I'll respond to him the only place I can -- here.

The only thing you've made clear is that you're a doofus. No one is forcing you to play. Abstaining has always been an option. If you don't want any part of Allen Offs, stop advertising that you're known for them on your Facebook profile. If you don't want my money, stop whinging every chance you get about the Space Firebird bounty. You are the most negative person in this hobby, and after everything is said and done, that's what you'll be known for -- not your scores, but your negativity.

Good heavens

I hadn't realised Brian had managed to gather a knock-kneed, dirty-underpanted, dribbling gang of acolytes around him ROFL


I think you can spend the cash now, Wes, the other half of Dumb and Dumber had a message for you at the end of his stream today:

I'm pretty sure at this point, with over a thousand dollars on the line over the course of almost two months, neither one is capable.

Does it really matter?  They are both killscreeners, and to be honest, 900k isn't that different than 860k.  I don't see 900k as that much of a step up from a killscreen.  I think you need 950k before there is a clear separation from a killscreen.

Sorry, George, I have to disagree. I think when going for your first 840k-860k kill screen, you're building the foundation to go for higher scores. 900k is the perfection of that "running boards" foundation, and it's senseless to go for a million without being capable of 900k first. With a flawed foundation, one could finish a double hammer game and still not hit a million. The first KS and the first 900k games are big milestones in a player's mastery of the game.

But can't you just reserve double hammer for every time you fall behind 900k pace?  Or maybe even do safe top level point pressing for 900k pace to?

IMHO that would be using those techniques as a crutch for pace instead of an addition to pace. With a proper foundation, one should be able to hit 900k simply running boards with no double hammers and no grouping.

Bottom hammer and grouping near Kong are of much greater difficulty than just efficiently running boards and most if not all killscreen-only players shouldn't attempt it just to bring their pace up unless they are confident in doing so. In which case they should be attempting much higher scores than 900k.

I agree with Wes, a 900k kill screen is a great indicator of being efficient enough at getting through the screens without point pressing, and that you are ready to make that next step up.

I agree Wes. I was fairly lucky I think that my first killscreen was also a 900k game. I had played a LONG time at that points (like years as FailFish) was pretty efficient with top hammer and the elevator stage so I didn't lose a lot of points there. Generally though 900k is not just a killscreen game. You need to have effective elevators and not waste a lot of points on boards to get it. Its not double hammer play but its not just blazing thru running boards.

So, where do we go from here? I think the term "race to" no longer applies if they aren't even able to do it. A Race To 700k just doesn't have the same appeal to me, so is Brian the Allen Off Champion in perpituity? Or, maybe if Allen ever manages to beat Brian's PB, does that make him the champ? I need answers.

Whenever either player is able to actually get 900,000 we can do one of these again, but until then you're right it's probably pointless. Fans of both players seemed pretty disappointed, and I don't want them to be let down again.
