No Hammer start (no deaths)

Love seeing the NH Scott, was thinking it had lost some luster to some folks. I had been trying for 100k start and ended up getting it last week

DK NH Start

101,300

Thanks, guys! Added!

This list is (admittedly) very incomplete, but at least it is something to pull together data on random in-game achievements. I have no doubt that in the long-term it will slowly be filled in and become more and more representative of what actually has been achieved by good players in these areas of the game.

That's excellent, Jeff.  I'll be aiming for a 100K start as well.

Check out this close call from earlier today:

http://www.twitch.tv/stella_blue/c/5334032

Excluding the points from the Level 4-5 death, the start was 108K.  I can't officially submit it for this track, but it clearly demonstrates that 110K is quite possible.  With extended grouping on the barrel boards and unhindered access to the 800 point prizes, it could be pushed even higher.

EDIT:  I forgot to attach the game summary.  Whoops!

By the way, don't ask how the rest of the game went.  I'd rather keep the unpleasant details to myself.

I caught from LV 3 on live or as a rebroadcast since I couldn't figure out why your stream quit right after you cleared LV 4.    Great stuff Scott. I won't be trying to up my start since I hate grouping before LV 5 but will be trying for a 800k KS. The year is running out and the KS still eludes me I've had two good first men in the last month (lv13 and lv14) but was unable to make it much farther.  Get that NH KS Scott, I need some new srtats to copy.

I finally managed to achieve a 100K No Hammer start with 0 deaths:  101,900 on 10/25/2014

The gameplay isn't terribly exciting (a fair amount of leeching on the rivet boards), but the accompanying soundtrack is from one of my favorite Phish jams:  "You Enjoy Myself"  (12/09/1995 - Albany, NY).  Simply outstanding.

As you can see from the attached summary, Level 05 was a nightmare.

Final score:  191,100  (ending on Level 6-6)

YEM...LIT!!

Gratz on the start

Well done, Scott! Updated!

The ball is in your court, Jeff!

Excellent NH start, Jon!

As for the brutality of Level 6-6, I've been there . . . more than once.

Let's break it down:

												Level		Total
Level		Barrel		Conveyor		Barrel		Elevator		Rivet		Score		Score
01		6,800								10,300		17,100		17,100
02		7,400						7,300		7,600		22,300		39,400
03		7,000		7,800				7,100		7,800		29,700		69,100
04		8,500		8,300		9,100		6,800		5,700		38,400		107,500

Allen got 52 top platform wall jumps on 1-2 tonight while I was watching the stream.

He also killed it on the BGC!: 3,800 for 1 man, and 15K for 4-man, with 2 survival men in a row!

Updated the pertinent tracks, and added a new one for most BGC survivals in a row.

[marinomitch13]

Allen has made a new track: Most consecutive oil can jumps on a conveyor stage without dying. Tonight he got 6 in a row: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiu1cNwvaT8&feature=em-upload_owner

Also, I updated his wall jumps to 55.
