When will there be 100 kill screeners? Poll
« on: December 17, 2014, 07:23:01 am »
I've always wondered when the 100th kill screen will occur. For the past 2 years, they've been a lot of new kill screeners. However, there are not much people left, right now, that can do a kill screen (let's say 10 maximum, currently). And since there are less and less people starting to play Donkey Kong, I wonder if there will ever be a 100th kill screener.

So you're thought on that? Personally, I think it will happen by the end of 2017, considering we will average pretty much 9 new kill screeners per year in the next 3 years.
1) World Record of the most insults received by a plastic surgeon - 3752

2:World Record of the most Check Man games played - 6 (tied with Hank Chien)

I voted for end of 2017 as well. As you said there aren't that many left who are capable but just haven't been able to get there yet. And an even less amount of people who are actively practising, trying to get to a KS calibre level. The wave of KOK as defiantly come to a slow-down in the past few years.

Im going to trust the lemay math of the KS per year average (cant be fecked working it out myself)  Kappa

woops. I accidentally voted by the end of 2016. I was going to vote by the end of 2017, reason being that I think the biggest wave of kill screen amounts has already hit and it wouldn't surprise me if was heading for a bit of a down-trail in numbers.

I don't want to say "never" but i dont think it will be by 2017. Maybe 2025 KoK has about run its course.

At the current rate I believe the end of 2017.  2016 might get very close depending how the wind blows.  I'm aware of several players on the cusp who are total unknowns and aren't even streaming.

"Never" is a very bold statement, because it's reasonable to assume there will always be interest generated when people see KoK for the first time.  I believe the end of the online opens will slow things, but KO4 might also generate a small bubble of new players.

I voted for 2017, although I won't be surprised if it happens in 2018 (or later).

Unfortunately, 2018 and 2019 are not listed as available choices.

Perhaps Papa Vinny should step aside and let his infant son create the polls from now on.   ;)

I wonder how many people are still going to try and chase one,
I know I have 3 weeks of works and will start trying again I that time although I think it is a long shot for me to get one in that time frame,
I'm not sure who else is going to actively try and get one,
Steve g?
Kibby?
Honestly I don't know many people trying but I'll say 2016

With so much hype around I hope it gives some people a bit of motivation to get in there!

2017 for me :)
