I'm unsure if I'll be at home sadly, might be out whole day ice-skating (.. yea :p ) with friends

[j4rio]

hehehe, disadvantages of social life :p

I probably won't be around during most of Friday as well though.

[cannonball]

never done one of these before :P I should be free on Friday (though I should be revising for my synoptic exam) But hey I'm a student and I've already got a first in procrastination....
Edit - If I can get an internet connection that is :S (depends on whether my house mate installed it before I left for the holidays)

I recommend you to do some training then. Download a good wad and try to complete it FDA-style. Eternally Yours, for example.

Holy shit, that's 6:00 AM in my time zone (PST.) I don't think I'll even be up by that time! Looking forward to seeing the results, though.

[Ancalagon]

i think i'll be at home that day, i'd like to participate :D

[didierbertrand]

happy new year everybody!
you can count me in memfis !

[Creaphis]

Postpone it by 2 hours and I can do it.

[tatsurd-cacocaco]

JST = UST + 9 hours = 23:00

Oh, it's usually my doom time before I go to bed. I can probably take part in this contest.

Sorry for the timezone problems, but obviously we can't please everyone.

[ArmouredBlood]

Ugh, same problem as the green herring here. Well wish everyone participating fun ...

[Anima Zero]

I might just give this a go. I'm up early enough anyways ;P.

Yes. You must start recording immediately after the password is provided, and send the zipped demo as soon as you finish. If you spend too much time on file operations, you'll get a penalty (+5 minutes to your time or something).

Also remember, you can upload unfinished demos.

[Memfis]

Those *.bat files are just for convenience. Of course you can write your own file or use different methods of recording (shortcut, for example), just make sure to play on UV with -complevel 9.

emh going toilet, rebooting, getting out the junk, brb :p

[cybermind]

pass iw4QITRoZz
go!

[Memfis]

What a bullshit red key trap.

[tatsurd-cacocaco]

Yes, two invisible arch-viles in the red key zone seemed to be really tricky, but I wasn't hunted by them fortunately.

[blob1024]

gave up now. the redkey was fine for me, first I died for stupidly switching on rl, then i simply avoided the room, and died again after 15min more.. geez enuff for me, too long already ;) I sucked
was easy to escape the room after picking it up anyway, but I got trapped after red room instead and died once more, so I decided to not restart 4th time. what about u? reached exit?

[tatsurd-cacocaco]

I reached the exit. For me, this map is much more suitable than FDC#7's map. Thanks for a nice map.

[Memfis]

My total time is 50 mins. With one death (in that red key room).

[blob1024]

argh. I should had continued probably. I bet most of players are still at it. gonna check how close to exit I was this time :)
