Default Re: Gamewhore Competition

Finally awake enough to do this. If you ever wanted to see what 24 hours of game-whoring looks like from the other side...

Here


you


go!


I'm not sure if I was the only one who did this, but I essentially had nothing to eat throughout the competition. I had two bottles of water, and a small dinner later on in the night, no snacks or anything else all day. Also I pretty much said fuck sleeping, and mashed VS BOSS BATTLE for ALL 24 of the hours the server was up. My dinner was about 10 minutes, and I probably took a grand total of about 30 minutes in breaks throughout the day (don't want CTS lol), meaning I mashed for 23 hours and 20 minutes yesterday.

Apparently I got ~7.762% of the ENTIRE amount of all points scored yesterday, and that I was the only person to hit well over 1.1 million arrows (1,144,937 apparently lol). For all of you who might take on a billion points, I'll put in spoiler tags how I went about my game whoring.

I watched videos from these playlists over the course of half the day:
Side A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrJAE...ure=plpp_video
Side B: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxOOG...ure=plpp_video
Side C: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIxEw...1&feature=plcp
Side D: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYZDS...1of7BRZ86-8fow

When I became extremely tired I found that listening to some of my favorite music gave me a real energy boost. In the final hours I was listening to a lot of battle music, and montage songs to pull me through.

Also, after a while after the 24 hour mark, you begin to lose your feeling of being really tired. Although this comes at the expense of your focus and sense of reality, when you are mindlessly mashing, it comes in handy.

Setting a defined time to meet a goal of points and checking also helped to pull me through. I felt like I was being more productive GTS wise when I was checking the score board every half hour and seeing if I met my quota than I was when I wasn't checking at all. It made things feel less elapsed and less like intense torture.


I met one of my ultimate goals on FFR, which was to surpass Adamaja456's now slightly less insane 1.51 billion points in a day. Congratulations to Dossar, who pretty much did what I did, except ACTUALLY PA'ing THE SONG. I cant think of a better machine to lose to in a GTS whore off, and no one can say I didn't put up a pretty good fight (within 30 mill is pretty close).

If you want to pass either Doss or my scores on a GTS in the future...I wish you luck! If you are purely mashing like I was, you'll need to play ALL 24 HOURS to pass my score (as in, screw breaks and actually eating food). I look forward to seeing the attempts in the future, I had a lot of fun participating in this competition!
