everybody wanna tell you the meaning of music

Wow, you went through every post? I thought you just copied over the old list. Guess that explains how you didn't see it.

The funniest part about the old thread is how he has the 1st post and 3rd post, and in between is Nate saying basically "you know, I think this is a terrible idea" when we officially condone this now. We really could have deleted Nate's post just to not have the gap if anything.

Poor Tom B probably killed himself over Beautiful Katamari being subpar or something.

i disagree with the above person... you can auction those off to people or ask carc for monetary values to be able to reproduce or enjoy sins of the flesh.

gogo fake ebay auctions.

Actually, to cut Duke some slack, I wasn't being serious when I said I'd offer my testicles as the bounty. =p

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!

Hi, want to offer $150 for Age of Empires II + expansion campaigns with the following rules: Must be in Normal or Hard difficulty, segmented per level, Fastest speed. Recording must have difficulty, speed and game time visible (I think it is F11 or F10). Pause and slowdown are allowed, but SDA must accept the videos (ie. pause at the beginning of level to issue orders to several units is ok I bet). so anyway check if they do allow pause and/or slowdown.

I want to add a 50$ bounty for any Splinter Cell 100% speedrun accepted on the site. That is to say, achieving a 100% stealth rating on every mission.

Updated to include the recent bounty that was paid out.

Also, sometimes I'll see your bounty and add it, but won't post here to confirm that I updated the list. This is because I don't want every other reply in this thread to come from me. I'll always post to include a paid bounty though.

Update: The conditions of the Ikari Warriors bounty have changed.

Well I had been paid another bounty quite a while back for Mechwarrior: 4 Mercenaries speedrun from tycho which was $100!

Please bump my Double Dragon, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 and Tony Hawk's Underground bounties up to $75 each.

I'm curious as to whether or not specialty runs would be accepted on SDA in Tony Hawk games. What I'm specifically talking about are the classic goals in Tony Hawk's Project 8 and Tony Hawk's Proving Ground. Would runs of just those individual goals warrant times on SDA, or not?

It'd obviously be better if they could be accepted on SDA, but I'm willing to offer $50 for a set of THP8 classic goal runs and $50 for a set of THPG classic goal runs on the 360/PS3 versions of the games, regardless whether or not they'd be accepted. And that's $50 for the lot of them -- not $50 for each one =P

A point of argument for their validity is that they follow the classic Tony Hawk formula and there's one goal of its type per area in the games. Basically, it'd kinda be like if you did individual level times for THPS3 or THPS2 or THPS. The biggest problem I can see with it are stats, if it does end up being allowable I think it only natural that stat manipulation is allowed. It's allowed by my say if it isn't acceptable though, so if these can't make it then I'll still take 'em just as they are =X

As with all my other bounties please contact me at hexrapper@gmail.com to discuss the bounties as though I pop in and out of these forums I virtually never use my account, one of the core reasons being I think I forgot my password =<

And just a final note those classic goals are for 100% completion, which would require completion within the 2min timefrime the goal gives you (can naturally be extended with combos, what I mean to say is one go at it)

If you could just get me a new password then that would be awesome, thanks =D. And yeah, the account is just "Hexrapper".

I went looking for this speedrun to link it in the first post, only to realize that it's still in the verification quque. Undecided

I provided a link to the thread (and the run) anyway.

I also updated HexRapper's bounties and added in the new Tony Hawk 8 one.

Just wanted to point out that the THP8 goals are just called classic goals, what I meant with THPG is to also put a bounty up for classic goal runs in Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (different game) for the same amount. Sorry for the confusion =X

It's okay, when there are as many Tony Hawk games as there are with Pokemon and Mega Man, there is bound to be some miscommunication.

Just to let everyone know, there are now 14 bounties on Tony Hawk games. All but one of them is being offered by the same person, and the total bounty value he's put up for grabs is $525. Adding the $60 in from the Sorcerer88, it brings the total up to $585.
Bonus: If you include Hexrapper's other 7 bounties (a sum of $275), he's offering a total of $800 of his hard-earned cash to see you guys tear various games apart.

I have no solution, but i admire the problem.

I have 2 new bounties on Super Mario Galaxy:

60$ for a single-segment run. I've resisted watching individual level runs because i want to enjoy the whole picture, and it doesn't seem there was much interest to do a coherent run.

25$ for a segmented run. Just in case noone wants to do a SS run ( might turn out to be hard ).

Also, hex, your updates are appreciated Wink

i just don't know when i'll be able to continue the work, there's much that i'm planning to do right now. But this certainly was an incentive. Just see my latest Thps3 run as a teaser.

edit: @DJPhilanegro Yes, i want them on SDA, sorry.

I gotta believe!

I have a question regarding these bounties. Is it a requirement to get them posted here at SDA? I currently don't have a DVD recorder, and just capture my videos with a device called Dazzle.

VorpalEdge

2008-10-06 10:59:30 pm

welcome to the machine

I'm not going to be specific here, but in general, you should assume getting on SDA is a requirement unless the run would be unsuitable for the site for other reasons (like, say, the run would take 20 hours to finish). Of course, you can always ask the bounty provider and see if he cares.

Ah, it's cool Sorcerer. I've been saving up anyways, so I should get a DVD recorder soon. I accidentally sent a PM without even reading the edit - my bad man lol. :-[ Now's just the matter of pulling it off and actually being cool with it - I get the feeling after I pull it off, I'm just gonna hold onto it and keep trying to improve it before sending it in.
