Post by: Ngamer on June 21, 2003, 03:02:00 pm
Well, maybe not quite EVER.... but certainly of the year, and I'm not sure if even last year had any to really top it.  Yes, we've seen activity from all kinds of top players, and it should make for quite the interesting award ceremony in a couple weeks.  Take a look at this sweet list, will you?

June's Movers & Shakers

1. Karl - 1 WR, 1 untied

'2'. Shade - 7 WRs, 4 untied

5. Greg K. - 7 seconds, 2 WRs, 1 untied

6. DMan - 2 seconds, 1 WR

9. Vinze - 28 points, 27 seconds

12. Bossman - 6 places, 412 pts, 2:58, 5 WRs, 2 untied

13. Jugador - 29 pts, 34 seconds, 2 WRs, 2 untied

37. Your Eliteness - 7 places, 434 pts, 2:00

39. KillerSim - 1 place, 163 pts, 40 seconds, 2 WRs, 1 untied

42. Wouter - 78 pts, 24 seconds, 2 WRs

47. Psycho - 5 places, 168 pts, 25 seconds

82. Dark0Perfection - 17 places, 585 pts, 1 WR

Quite impressive... and since these numbers were based off an update on the 16th, there's still an entire half-month of improvement left!  As usual, tell me if I missed anyone.  Good luck to everyone in the final 9 days of competition here.

PS - If you're going to say your current favorite for POM, be sure to include a vote for runner as well.

Bosshardt for POM.  

Hmm, it does seem unusual that someone who isn't totally in the elite could win an award but I'll say shade for runner up anyways.  Me for a teeny weeny mention.  ;)

I've still got a time up my sleeve (soon to get) that might just pull it for me. it depends whether or not setting the greatest record ever is better than a few hundred points and some other records. We'll see.

Post by: Wouter Jansen on June 22, 2003, 07:23:00 am
If you beat infil pa it isn't the greatest wr ever, not even close =P especially when people tought nobody would ever touch the 1:52... now we can see under 1:50. no ownage at all.

Also, definitely Bryan for POM, he just got his Duel PA 9 :)  dunno why he's not happy with it though.. He had steady improvement, basically all 90+ times, ownage times for someone who hasn't played much. Also he gained loads of points while already having quite alot, and he played almost every day.

Shade for runner up though, but not nearly as close as Bryan's performance =P I bet they'll be having about the same amount of wrs this month, but Bryan will have loads of other PRs in his month, many 90+ pts.

My 1:55 run (PAL) is about the same in terms as its speed as a 1:52 (NTSC). Its debatable, but it took me about 20 mins to secure that time and the run was sloppy as hell. With that in mind, I reckon a 1:47 NTSC is possible, if not better. Just so you know...

Ngamer for POM

I'm serious, think about it, this guy puts on this POM EVERY DAMN month. He's not even playing PD anymore and he still does this for us. He could easily say uck it and leave!

Shade/Bryan/W00ter for runner and me for first mention;)

Post by: KillerSim7 on June 22, 2003, 11:17:00 pm
Hmm, I thought my WRs and a few points would ensure a mention but now I'm not so certain.  WRs seem to be growing out of people's asses this month.  :lol

Hmm, based on what I know of Matt..  He will get the Infil PA WR.  And Wouter, if you think it's so horrible of a record, then why don't you go beat it?  It can't be as close to perfection as other levels the way I figure it.  Of course I hate that level a lot.  Mostly because I can't live through the part when I leave placing the explosive until I get in the lift.  Dead dead me, or I'd have 2:10 easy if did that part fast.

you play it then, idiots.

"My 1:55 run (PAL) is about the same in terms as its speed as a 1:52 (NTSC). "

You couldn't be more wrong Phil.

Post by: JugadorJ3 on June 23, 2003, 06:37:00 pm
"now we can see under 1:50. no ownage at all"

You only know that because i told you. You have no idea really, what it takes on this level. None.

Phil, reading again i see that you say 1:47 is possible on ntsc. "just so that i know"... Pretty sure i've already said that that is possible too. And I'm pretty sure you aren't in a position to say what is possible on ntsc, seeing as you have PAL and PAL is easy.

OMG, I haven't been around the PDE boards for a month. You guys with your new WRs are mad crazy style. :54 AF1 A, :50 Extraction A, 1:45 Air Base A, 1:30 CI SA, 2:13 P2 PA, :41 G5 A?!? Pwnage...

Anyways, um, I dunno. Shade for POM? Bryan for runner up?

Go get 1:21 AF1 SA Shade...

Just so you guys know, I made it on the Crash Site leaderboard in a tie for 8th with Greg K. with my 1:33 SA:p

Pretty damn good for someone ranked 81st;)
Title: Best POM Ever! *June '03*
Post by: Wouter Jansen on June 24, 2003, 02:38:00 am
Yeah, I have like almost no knowledge of this game. But it doesn't take knowledge to judge whether something is ownage or not. Not necessairily. I trusted on you telling the truth when you say that faster is possible, even 1:47! that's 5 sec less. Now, how can the 1:52 be ownage (that's what many thought for a long time, maybe even still), and how can it be ownage to improve that time if you don't improve it with that very 1:47? In my eyes ownage is only that what's maxed! so there. Maybe you were just lying and only 1:51 is possible (maxed). Then 1:52 would come pretty close to ownage, and beating it would be ownage. I have no ownage times. Maybe Duel =P. And only 5 maybe on GE. Perhaps your coneception of ownage is a bit lower level though:evil
Title: Best POM Ever! *June '03*
Post by: JugadorJ3 on June 24, 2003, 05:05:00 am
After playing a few hours today I've decided that yes, 1:47 is possible. It's the "max" ... A machine could get it. We could not. Never, ever will anyone press the first lift to shut at 1:09. 1:10 is the human max here. When i said 1:47 is possible i was thinking strange - You'd need an agent style finish to achieve this! Therefore I'll bring it down to 1:49. Lower just... can't happen. I had this AMAZING run and would have had the lift shut at 1:36 (for 1:50) but i opened the lift as it closed itself. Human skill doesn't go beyond that run very far. Maybe a tiny bit of a second for the 1:35.8 you need for 1:49.

So yeah... 1:50 IS ownage. And if you don't think so you're disturbed.

Post by: Wouter Jansen on June 24, 2003, 07:52:00 am
or I'm relying on luck more than anyone else.. but still I hope you got my point, in conclusion, get 1:51 and it sucks:p

My Highlights for this Month
This month I have gained 792 points, cut 3:50 from my time and I will be ranked about 33rd and 26th overall (next update).

At the start of the month I was ranked 44th and 37th, so I've gained about 11 ranks.

Also I achieved Rescue PA 3:07, which ties for third.

Shade - POM (and i think he should be allowed into the elite)
Bryan - Runner up

Wouter, Greg K and the other 2 newer guys (Dark0Perfection and Your Eliteness) for a mention.

EDIT: oops, forgot Jugador and KillerSim for a mention perhaps.

Shade for POM i think. Bryan for runner up.

I'd like a mention, i did do some pretty good stuff. It would mean a lot to me too, seeing as well... This is the end of a PD period for me. No more for a while. Thanks etc if you consider this.
Title: Best POM Ever! *June '03*
Post by: Boss on June 30, 2003, 03:39:00 pm
- Shade POM because he pwned way more than anyone else
- Ok, most vote me runner-up so far, but I'll throw out a few facts here.  I started out the month in 18th/19th place with around 4900 points.  I'm now well over 5500, around 50 points shy of 7th place, currently 8th on the rankings.  I cut almost 5 minutes off my time (1:46:59 now, was 1:51:51).  I also set 2 untieds WRs according to the rankings (CI 1:30 and SOS 1:59) along with a few desired WR ties (Def 6, Ext 51, and Duel 9) which put me 7th among WR leaders on the rankings.  I also pwned DS for an NTSC only player with over 180 points.  How about this one for an eye opener: 15 leaderboards, for sure over 10 with Shade added :)
- GregK 3rd for nice WRs
- Jugador for Infil/AS PA pwnage
- Wouter for SOS pwnage, NTSC cart
- Your Eliteness for a solid month, several nice PA times
- Psycho for quiet improvements
- Dark0Perfection for CS pwnage, along with other high point times
- SimThreat for G5 41
- DMan for some more improvement

Those are the ones that stand out I guess.  I may have missed some more than deserve mentions

Post by: Wouter Jansen on June 30, 2003, 03:49:00 pm
why don't we make a first in POM history: A TIE FOR POM =)
I think Bryans achievements are AT LEAST POM worthy. and a tie, because everyone else thinks Shade should get it, so to make them happy. I think Bryan did really well for how much he knows and has been playing pd, Shade didn't do as much in my eyes, although he had better times already and had less potential to do as much, and I'm not saying that what he has done sucks, because it must probably own (I wouldn't know yet), but I think Bryans achievements outrule anyone else's.
200 thumbs up for Bryan!
Title: Best POM Ever! *June '03*
Post by: Dark0Perfection on June 30, 2003, 05:53:00 pm
Yeah! What he said, and me for runner up!

Yeah, I got on the crash site leaderboard even if shade is added and i got some very high pointers eg:
invest SA 2:18
chicago A 0:16
crash site A 1:22
crash site SA 1:33
crash site PA 2:08
defense A 0:54
defense SA 1:34
war! A 0:27
war! SA 0:51
And of course the duel SA 0:06 WR which was extremely amazing because, correct me if I'm wrong but, I am now the only person in the elite to get their first 0:06 with Jon on the wrong side. I had a long shot to him and got him right in the head to get my 0:06 SA.:)  I also got many other not quite as high pointers this month. I've gained well over 1100 points 30 places as of today the 30th.

I still have the rest of today you know, to get defense 0:53 is my target before tomorrow.:rollin

"Shade - POM (and i think he should be allowed into the elite)"

He's there, isn't he? I just thought he didn't put up his times unless they were proven or something...
Title: Best POM Ever! *June '03*
Post by: smurx-god on July 02, 2003, 08:34:00 pm
He is technically, but only a few times up. He pwns too much so they won't let him put all his times up =P
Actually, Jon told me Shade will be able to have all his times up after he sends his next tape in.
