Title: Donation Incentive to BREAK CONTROL
Post by: RWG on January 16, 2014, 07:06:50 pm: Hello friends,

I think it is time, we as the community, step up to provide a donation incentive to have Control broken. I know Henrik does not believe it is possible, but perhaps it is.

Today, Majora's Mask, Castlevania: SotN and another irrel game were all "broken."

I think we should step up as a community and put a bounty of at least $500 out there for someone to "break Control." We will explain parameters (external interference, circuit board strat, etc, are not allowed.) Explain that it must save game time (ie: be able to get like 3:30 or lower) but also save real time (so no freezing the game timer nonsense.)

So basically, if 10 people offer $50, that's $500 and I can openly get this out there. There are some dudes who break speedgames like it's their fucking job. True speedrun scientists. This can happen.

Cuz right now I'm dangerous
We've all felt like shit
And been treated like shit
All those motherfuckers, that want to step up

I hope ya know
I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps going this way
I just might break something tonight

Post by: RWG on January 19, 2014, 04:28:10 am: No one wants to offer money? You guys are a fucking joke.

At best I have Jimbo and MYT in here, but it's hard to tell if they are offering $50 from their posts or not.

Post by: Adam Miller on January 19, 2014, 12:48:18 pm: Yeah, I am up for it. But only for something worthwhile. Saving a second at the end wouldn't be worth the bucks.

Post by: Illu on January 19, 2014, 12:53:21 pm: Yea this is for finding a major timesaver, 3:30 or lower at least Goose said which would be like a near 30 sec timesaver.

Bet someone finds a 3:40ish strat and gets bummed out of the cash :P

Post by: RWG on January 19, 2014, 02:29:21 pm: I'll do $50. I'll try to get some viewers in on this as well.

Who are you, MYT?

Adam Moore "Reflect0r" $50
Greg Woll $50
MYT $50
Goose $50
Alex $50
Patrik Nilsson $20
Illu $20

$290 so far, if Alex is in for $50. Jimbo $50 would make it $340. That's enough to get a thread started on r/rspeedrun and start tweeting it out.

.5 timesaver or so... 0.5% of the bounty is mine :nesquik:

edit: doesn't save any time it seems (compared to a well timed Nat shot) but might be useful still

Post by: TheFlash on January 24, 2014, 06:24:25 pm: Someone should post all the known info about this level to give CONTROL BREAKERS a head start.
Title: Re: Donation Incentive to BREAK CONTROL
Post by: TheFlash on January 24, 2014, 06:58:25 pm: Does the bounty go to the person who comes up with the strat or the first one to actually hit the w/e time you call for?
