Greetings SGDQ runners!

Once again it's that time to gather up your offerings for potential donation incentives on your runs at the marathon. This thread will act as an organizational post to keep track of whatever incentives you would like staff to consider for your runs. Before we get started I just want to lay down a few reminders/ground rules for the thread:

1. I do not have any influence on whether or not an incentive is accepted for the runs, I am only here to gather the offerings and keep them organized so staff can go through and make considerations on your incentive ideas.
2. Before you offer an incentive check the schedule on the GDQ website: https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule, if you see an incentive already listed there is no need to suggest it here as it's already been accepted.
3. I will be organizing the incentives based on the order of the GDQ schedule so the staff has less reorganization to do.

Pretty simple stuff as usual. As for the donation incentives themselves, you are free to suggest whatever you would like to offer, but please keep in mind these rules:

1. All incentives need to be in line with the marathon rules. Remember that we try to keep the GDQ's at a "PG" rating on stream.
2. Any incentives involving props or cosplay have to be related to the run itself in some way. Incentives to dress up are fine as long as they have a common theme with your game.
3. If you are involved in a race then any incentive must be approved by ALL the runners involved in that race.
4. Keep in mind that any incentives that involve extra effort of tech staff (hand cams, etc) might increase setup time, and should be noted as an increase to your estimate (more on this in a moment)
5. If your incentive will increase the time estimate of your game by more than 15 minutes it will not be considered (as per staff)

Last and possibly most important:
This is NOT an open suggestion thread for incentives. Do not offer incentives for anyone else's runs please. If you are not the runner of the game and post a donation incentive offer your post will be deleted to keep the thread from getting cluttered.

Now that we have all that out of the way, here is the information you need to post if you would like to offer an incentive for your run:

Your Name (Handle) and Game
The Donation Incentive (Give a brief description of what the incentive involves)
If the incentive will increase your time estimate of the run. (If the incentive does increase your estimate then tell us by how much)

If you have any questions or need clarification on anything feel free to ask me here or send me a PM if you prefer. I will do my best to address any issues you might have. Again keep in mind I'm not making any decisions on the incentives, just keeping a running list for the staff!

I'll be keeping the running list at the bottom of this post and updating it as incentives are offered.

Thanks in advance!

A bid war between the 4 monkeys. Also a donation incentive for an IL Replay showcase. This would show off a few IL world records using strats not normally seen during RTA runs. I can link an example here. this would increase estimate by no more than 12 minutes.

Apologies for the early extra post but I want to make sure everyone sees the edit with the 5th rule on offerings:

5. If your incentive will increase the time estimate of your game by more than 15 minutes it will not be considered (as per staff)

EDIT: I just forgot I don't actually have the right English cartridge and this would be contingent on me getting one. I'm going to post this so I can see how you'd feel about it and if that's a no that's fine and I won't pick up a cart, if yes then I'll get back to you on it because finding the specific cart needed can be tricky and I can't guarantee I'll have it within a month (or whenever you think is reasonable to say 'so can we check you for yes/no on this thing)

Running Link's Awakening DX in English over Japanese adds about 3-4 minutes to the run but would allow for Character name (5 characters for 3 slots so a total of 15) incentives, on top of the Any% No S+Q --> 100% incentive upgrade already being done. A lot of tech has been found in the game since my submission and the bottom hasn't quite been discovered or reached yet on the game. For reference my estimated time is a 1:18:00 right now (not including setup!) and my Personal Best as of this point in time is 1:07:50 - a full 10 minutes better and there's still a bit further to go.

Right now the time estimate for the upgraded 100% is 1:40 with 1:33:45 as my PB, and that category is very unoptimized and untested with the new tech and could easily be sub 1:30:00 by the time SGDQ rolls around.

What I'm saying is that new tech has been found that would likely offset the time added by switching to English, especially given the already generous time estimates and would allow for a bonus incentive on top of the current one already provided for the game. Whether the staff thinks its worth it, or wishes to add more incentives onto a game that already has a large one is the organizer's decision, this is just an option I'm bringing up and happy to go with either way.

Stand: Devil's Call in your Heart

UchihaSDA, F-Zero GX

incentive to play using Blue Falcon on the AX Cup (the last cup), have a 1-question interview with Captain Falcon after the run is done and watch his special video.

given the way the game's AI works, the AX cup is the easiest cup by far despite being the last one. i've already practiced this with the run's rules (1 handed) and it's doable easily without risks of dying or losing. i think using this character would increase the hype of the run, especially by the end of it. the estimate would increase by 5 minutes tops (i've done the whole thing within the normal current estimate but it's better to be prepared)
note that it is only the AX cup (the final cup). it's not marathon safe to do any of the other 4 cups like this.

Shaddex

2015-05-18 10:53:22 am

Shaddex, The Wheel of Time
Watch the After Credits Cutscene

This would increase the estimate by either 4 minutes and 30 seconds, or by only 45 seconds. The credits are 4 minutes long, so normally you'd have to sit through them - alternatively, I can load a save game which will place me directly within the scene itself. This would lose any anticipation or buildup during the credits, however the scene itself is amazing and definitely deserves to be watched.

lurkchan, zombies ate my neighbors.

bid war between playing as the boy (zeke, 3d glasses) or the girl, (julie, baseball cap). changes nothing but aesthetics. they aren't particularly well known characters (doubt many people know their names) but could generate something, especially if you can show the two sprites off.

JTB, Resident Evil 4

There are two costumes I can use with no effect on actual gameplay. Normal costume is Leon in jeans/Ashley in skirt, special costume is Leon in Racoon City PD uniform/Ashley in some sort of night club outfit.

There's also a glitch at the end of the game called the Jetski glitch that takes no time to do but has a humorous effect. It's something I normally do in runs, but I could only do it if money is raised for it during my run. Video:

Also sorta off-topic, professsional mode is being listed as donation incentive with romscout telling me it surely will be met. I only run pro mode (although I can easily pick up normal before sgdq), what happens if the donation goal isn't met?

That's "Mr." Speedrunner, to you

BubblesDelFuego,

Fallout 3: File name (15 characters), I do a Low% Bad Ending run (adds 2 minutes, tops).

The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion: File name (15 characters), Incentive for an Any% run done by any of the community members available and nearby(Shaddex, Puri_Puri, DrTChops, etc.)(would add 10 minutes).

Updated the first post with the running list of incentive offers. As per my last few threads like this i'll ask questions or give responses throughout the thread as needed.

-LeonPowPow: Since there seems to be a lot of factors invovled I would suggest getting in touch with Romscout and getting his input on your idea of switching to english cart before you decide to invest in one.

-JTB: I would not worry too much about Prof mode, staff can either set the donation amount at an amount tha will be sure to met, or if needed we can omit it as an incentive choice. If Professional is your only category and is what you are best at then my suggestion is to continue forward planning to run that difficulty no matter what.

ShiningDragoon Rygar
Glitched vs Deathwarps (doesn't do boss warp but uses a deathwarp or two to save walking time)
24 min average compared to 15 (though really glitched rygar should only take 10) roughly a 13 min increase over a glitched run

may use a few too many Kappas

Possible incentives for bonus games? I was hoping for my Puzzle League run to do a bid war for character choice (Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur) since it doesn't cost any time.

MrCab, PikachuNarutoDude, and Satoryu, playing Mega Man X8
Incentive - Fight Cut Man. This is an easter egg fight in the run. Cut Man dies relatively quickly to X and/or Zero (and that Axl guy). Fight itself isn't all that exciting and is more for comedy/nostalgia than showing off glitches or skill. Takes about 10 seconds. Gets triggered by a code at the title screen, though the fight always occurs at the end of Sunflower's stage, so the incentive must be met before the game starts.

What this looks like in the middle of a run: http://www.twitch.tv/mrcab55/c/6621299?t=43m20s

Calistus, Dustforce

Bid war between Kappa super attack sprites and FrankerZ super attack sprites. Purely cosmetic. I will be able to set the files up in advance if I can get access to a PC after the cutoff and before the run.
and/or
Incentive to show a replay of the romhack-style secret level Infini Difficult (est. 5 minutes), or have a runner at the event complete the level (est. 10 minutes). Ideally TheBirdOfPrey would be practicing this and running the level if he can attend, but I will do practice of my own regardless.

Also, I will be looking to have dev commentary over voice chat for the run if possible. Is there a better venue for sorting this out with staff, if so?

MunchaKoopas, Game: Shovel Knight. Donation incentives include armor color, file name (8 characters max), Save or leave the knights behind at the end of the game (like Super Metroid's save/kill the animals), and a glitch showcase. The glitch is a way to zip backwards through some levels of the game. It should only take 5 minutes. I would do the same thing I do in this video:

moofinmoofin, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

Custom Skater Bid War. I will make a number of custom characters beforehand, such as Trihex, Cosmo, or basically whoever, and whoever wins the bid war will be the character I use for the run. (I also wanted input on who I should create in the game, perhaps by staff or otherwise). Would prefer to make custom characters, as I will outfit them with my usual trick set.

This will not affect the estimate at all.

EDIT: I'd like word from organizers or otherwise to decide on the custom choices. Or just people to tell me what they'd dig. Tell me what to make. SOMEBODY!

Floating/Ghost Agro Glitch: I make the game teleport Agro(the horse) over a death-plane, but Agro can't die so the game doesn't quite know what to do with him. It should take less than 10 minutes.

This is the result http://puu.sh/hS9by/88e1e4d0ed.jpg

Jumping for Joy
~30 seconds during the Any% run, about 30m in.
Talking to an NPC when you aren't supposed to results in an incredible debug animation playing instead.

Duck Race
~8 minutes after the Any% run is over.
I punch a tree, catch a duck from said tree, then gain entry into an illegal underground duck racing league run by a convenience store clerk.

Bid war between the 5 gun colors: green, blue, purple, light green, pink.

If anything other than green wins, I'll have to go unlock the color before the run, but this only takes about 10 seconds.

Updated again this morning:

CardsoftheHeart and MunchaKoopas: Since your games are bonus games they will have to be met first. Once they are we can add incentives in but just be aware that yours may be less likely to be met due to having to get the game incentive itself met first.

Mrcab - Because MMX8 is a race i will need all the runners to post and agree to the incentive before adding it to the list as per the incentive rules.

Calistus - Added the romhack incentive, however i'd suggest planning to have the runner for it figured out beforehand as randomly choosing someone to do so can cause logistical problems and add time. As for Dev commentary you'll want to get in touch with CoolMatty to work out the details on that, we would not set up dev commentary as a donation incentive.

NowOwnsAFreaking Plane

CosmykTheDolfyn, Kirby's Avalanche vs Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
In both games, there are humorous bits of dialogue before each level begins that last roughly 20 seconds. For a donation incentive, I could:
A) Read out the Kirby/Kracko conversation where Kirby tells Kracko he "couldn't hit a barn sized lightning rod" if Kirby's Avalanche wins the bid war.
B) Read Humpty's conversation where he squeezes three egg puns in two sentences if Mean Bean Machine wins the bid war.
Either would only take a few seconds and won't raise my estimate any. Not sure how well it will work with the bid war between which game I play, but I figured I'd offer it.
