Back to DK

[KIG666]

Got a new pc that is fast enough to allow streaming so here is the plan 

I will stream daily for around 2-4 hours, depending on how much the starts annoys me 

Just practiced the last few weeks so now it's time for some serious attempts. No other games for a while just DK.

Goal will be 1.1M but all above my current PB of 932K will be a little success 
 

Here is my Twitch channel I only hope it helps me a bit to avoid a few of those stupid mistakes if ppl watch my games.

I start to stream tomorrow. Will just take a little bit to get used to the smaller recording window since Im used to play in fullscreen 

Day 1
Awful just awful. Nothing worth mentioning....

Day 2 511K

Day 3 ?

Decided to play offline today since I'm using my up/down speed for other things.

Yesterday was awful, the small recording window was really not a help and I made a lot stupid mistakes, even more as usual LOL
Was quite nervous since I streamed for the very first time 

I will list all improvements here in my first post if the pace was at least at 1.060-1.080 so here we go.

511K is the score to beat for now.


Pace dunno 

Maybe someone with pauline can help me out, would be great since pauline stopped to work for me on Windows 7 

I assume the pace was ok but I would really appreciated it if someone could check it out and let me know

Your first 3 levels were very strong. Excluding death points they were 58,000 - 57,000 - 58,300. Maintaining that scoring rate with a 116,700 start would be a base pace of 1,098,700.

The next three levels did not score as high: 54,800 - 53,300 - 55,300. That's a base pace of 1,042,600.

Let's assume your scoring average held up. The scoring rate would look like this:

Start: 116,700

Non-rounded averages:
Barrels: 11,450
Pies: 7,686
Springs: 6,343
Rivets: 7,883
Level: 56,262

Death 1: 4,800
Death 2: 3,600
Death 3: 7,800
Death 4: 4,000

So, if you maintained those averages and carried the last man to the KS you would have had a base pace of  1,073,154. Add in the death points from the first 3 deaths (16,200), another 700 from the killscreen and round it off you would have a final score of 1,090,100.

Big thanks xelnia for the breakdown 
Ok the pace seems fine now I only need more practice.

Today was awful again. Just a couple of 400K games with ok pace and one with 380 with pretty good pace to be more specific here is the breakdown from yesterday and today to compare them til level 8   

Yesterday
L4 116
L5 179
L6 236
L7 298
L8 353

Today
L4 123
L5 182
L6 247
L7 304
L8 368

Guess I need way more practice and also I need to stop with this silly mistakes haha

Oh well I have time and at the end I will be there 

[KIG666]

Today a little improvement. Scored 478K with the first man and thought this game has some potential but like usual I fucked up royally on every end 

Anyway improvement is improvement I guess so here are the details for this abomination of a game 

L4 126
L5 184
L6 235
L7 293
L8 349
L9 403
L10 454
L11 511
L12 570

Here's a little something to keep you motivated:

Thanks Scott will try not to check what's happened after level 12 
Didn't realize that I had 14,300 and 13,900 barrels.

It's kinda frustrating that most of my games end in the 400-500K range right now but it gets better lately.
Just need to stop with those silly mistakes. I get rid of one to add another one the next day 

Today I played just 3 games. 400K,450K and 550K so a couple weeks more and I should be ready for a much bigger score at least I hope so.

I will focus on DK, so no other games this time... 

[KIG666]

Little update on my 1M+ something progress since my 987K disaster game... 

Haven't played as much full games as I would have liked due to the fact that my starts still suck but it gets a bit better lately.
Last few of days I played 673/665/610K's always with one or two dumb mistakes.

Today I scored 897.900 and still with two dumb mistakes even one elevator fuckup haha

Pace dropped below 1.040 but guess that's normal that you play much saver than usual if you are on your last man from 370K til 897K.

I have the feeling that my big game can happen any day now 

[KIG666]

Next bigger game today.

812K this time. Would be great if someone could help me to calculate the pace again.

Here are the details but I will also attach the input.

L4 120K
L5 178K
L6 231K
L7 290K
L8 343K
L9 400K
L10 453K
L11 509K
L12 568K
L13 621K
L14 677K
L15 725K
L16 781K
L17-4 FAIL 812K

Got almost no points for my death. Guess the pace was still ok but I would like to know it for sure

[f_symbols]

So this is really rough, and I have no idea where you got your death points; I applied 3 "small deaths" (less than 2K) to two of your highest level scores and the third randomly at the end, using Wes' pace app: here is your rough estimate at the end of each level...

L4 120K
L5 178K (~56K level + small death) 1,080,400
L6 231K----------------------------- 1,051,500
L7 290K (~57K level + small death) 1,068,400
L8 343K -----------------------------1,058,200
L9 400K------------------------------1,065,000
L10 453K ----------------------------1,058,200
L11 509K ----------------------------1,059,900
L12 568K ----------------------------1,068,400
L13 621K ----------------------------1,063,300
L14 677K ----------------------------1,065,000
L15 725K ----------------------------1,053,100
L16 781K (~54K + small death)----- 1,054,700
L17-4 FAIL 812K

The places I chose (randomly) to enter death points, will obviously skew things somewhat, but you should get the general picture; keep going good
