Gamewhore Competition
 

Follow the extended scoreboards with the Grand Total Tracker!

That's right we're bringing it back. I've heard you guys loud and clear in wanting another one of these.

If there's anyone who doesn't know what a gamewhore competition is, basically you're going to devote a full day of your life to smashing keys to get the most grandtotal in one day. The top three gamewhores will win a prize.

Signups

Technically you don't have to sign up since all you have do to is start playing that day, but I think it would be fun if those who are planning on participating would post here so we can watch your progress and root you guys on over the course of that day.

Start/End time

You're going to want to get your sleep on Friday the 16th because the competition starts when the server resets at midnight on the 17th. You will have all day to whore until the clock hits 11:59pm. We will then look at the top grand totals on the daily stats page to see who our winners are.

Prizes

The tokens to choose from are: Tell V3, Coactive (Over my shoulder mix), Freedom Dive and The Wisest Were Wrong

1st place - Your choice of three tokens and 200,000 credits.
2nd place - Your choice of two token and 175,000 credits.
3rd place - Your choice of one token and 150,000 credits.
4th place - 100,000 credits.
5th place - 50,000 credits.

Everyone in the top 10 get a shiny gamewhore profile badge.

*If you obtain enough points to unlock VROFL or Dendrite V2 you will have those unlocked for you as well.

Good Luck!

Participants

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

The token prizes look a little confusing as of right now, do you get one of each token in those sets or is it out of four? Prize for second implies the first, but that it just seems a little jumbled as of right now. Other than that, nice to have an event like this :) I won't be participating, but I know that a lot of people will want to. I wish you all luck :)

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

It's any two out of the four. Dendrite is left out because chances are anyone that hits top 3 is going to have enough points to unlock it anyway haha.

Edit: Fixed the OP up so the prizes were more clear.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Yeah, that's true xD Change second prize to one of the four tokens listed above then? Unless you're not including Wisest/FD for second place, of course.

Edit: Thanks a lot :)

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Hype *~(^0^~)

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Sign me up.

If anyone is smart they will know what song gives you 2B.

but highly unlikely because that would require AAA on it every time for 24 straight hours

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Count me in! :D

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Gamewhore competitions were freakin so much fun... got DQ'd last time for cheating though by having someone else playing with me. Lessons learned.

By the way, in the past the gamewhore competitions were basically a race to get the lowest Average Rank in 24hrs (hence the creation of GC_(username) profiles, specifically for the competition), I take it this is different as you're going for more grand total for the day?

edit: GC, GW, whatever the heck it was lmfao

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I'm assuming vrofl is not allowed in this right

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

This is whoring for grandtotal, just as it says. I don't want to make people create other accounts and lose all those points they whored for all day.


It's noted on the FPP that VROFL will be disabled for the day.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

It isn't. In the front page post it is said vROFL will be disabled on the day of the game whore competition.

EDIT: Got ninja'd by seconds...

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

sign me up even though i dont expect to win i dont really care :mrgreen:

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

woohoo

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I'll sign up for this, but I'll have to see how things work out -- I'm glad it's not happening this week.

If I do this I'm definitely not using any energy drinks.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Top TWO get a token? That's pretty stingy :/

It'll be interesting to see how people do in this. I'm definitely not competing (my hands hurt enough after 2 hours thank you) but I will probably check up on it a few times throughout the day.

Actually, I am pretty sure this was only one of the gamewhore competitions, and the rest were daily stats related. It was a fun one though.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

great
more mashing at saturday
in i guess :/

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Okay sign me up, gonna smash that shit.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I think that whoever makes top 10 gts that day should win a prize x)

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

This will be an interesting experiment on food if I attempt it.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Unlikely but if I get 2nd place I'm asking for FREEDOM DiVE

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I guess I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was at least two.. I participated in one and got my butt kicked because I had to quit out part way through the day to do things, and then the next one I got DQ'd for having a friend AAA things on the account with me.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

It should be disabled for the day only for people who are participating, IMO.

Not that most people will miss it for just a day, and not that I have it... But just saying I think it would be better if there was an easy way to do that instead.

Also, I would love to participate, but considering I only play FFR at the campus library (no internet at home) and the campus library is only open for 8 hours on Saturday that would put me at a significant disadvantage. So I will pass. But I might check up on scores and cheer people on.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Well don't forget, no one needs to even really post that they are participating. It's really just whoever gets the top three scores that day, and anyone could decide to participate at any time without warning.

Flat out disabling vROFL would make the most sense because of this.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Well i think i might join. I know what to play to have the most affect but its gonna be a really painful day if i try because i have played that song for 8 hours straight before and that was not fun at all. Most likely will play for all of the 24 hours. I def could use the boost on my Grand Total. Is it possible to NOT get vROFL from the 1bil though? Because if i do end up getting 1bil+ i dont want it lol
I want to obtain it from the 50bil requirement ^_^

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

There was an avrank GWC once where everyone made a new account with GWC in front of their regular account name, and they were all blacklisted at the conclusion of the day. All the others have been straight GTS. (I could be wrong, but I don't feel like plunging through 5 years of front page posts to verify it either way. I was never good at research.)

Hell, the first GWC in the Tasselfoot era was where the idea of 1bil get for vROFL originated; as Izzy and Tera can attest, this was back when the highest public nps song was FotBB.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

So this is a gamewhore competition yet if someone wants to get rank 1 on that list they'd have to play vROFL. Doesn't really make sense and it kind of contradicts the entire idea of a gamewhore competition. vROFL is the only reason why he was able to reach 1.5 billion. Maybe whoever plays vROFL to gain points to get rank 1 on that list can't win any prize, or if they actually surpass 1.5 billion they can maybe get 1 token? Like unlock the song to only those players willing to achieve that goal.

Just my 2centssss

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Excuse me sir, But I believe you didn't do your math correctly.

vROFL isn't the only song you can achieve this on.



VS boss battle for example

--------------------
VS Boss Battle - at least 25 goods

Considering a run of 25 goods or less will give you around a total of 1,400,000 points per run...

19 hours of cumulative whoring (1,140 minutes / 68,400 seconds), will give you ~1,651,034,482 or at least 1,650,000 points.

18 hours of cumulative whoring (1,080 minutes / 64,800 seconds), will give you ~1,564,137,931 or at least 1,550,000 points.

----------
VS Boss Battle - Mashed

Considering a mashed run (could be about 370-400 boos) of VS Boss Battle will give you 1,250,000 points per run...

18 hours of cumulative mashed whoring (1,080 minutes / 64,800 seconds), will give you ~1,418,103,448 or at least 1,400,000,000 points.

----------

24 hours = 1,440 minutes = 86,400 seconds

If you mashed run VS Boss Battle (370-400 boos) for 24 cumulative hours... you would accumulate about 1,862,068,965, or at least 1,850,000,000 points.

1,408,950 = AAA

If you AAA'd VS Boss Battle for 24 cumulative hours... you would achieve 2,098,849,655 points.
----------

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Well, I do plan to be doing this Gamewhore Competition, assuming that college doesn't get too much in the way. Thank goodness it's on a weekend day. :)

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

You're competing against other people not the scoreboard. The scoreboard you can go for any day if you really wanted to.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I was just thinking about the previous gamewhore events. Plus, it seems like an official day that gives more motivation for people to actually go through with this all day event! That's fair though.. wasn't trying to give you a hard time, just thought I'd say my thoughts.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Yeah, you don't have to beat the 1.5 billion mark, just the next best person that day.

EHHS is another song you can get 1.5 billion on. There are actually a whole bunch, although VS Boss Battle may be one of the easiest.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I suck, and got 500k in 11 hours( a lot of stops. Almost couldn't do it) on Vs. boss battle. A million is far, but obtainable. As for coming in first/second, good luck with that.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

The problem with the competition when competing against other people is that it's an unfair advantage. Not everyone has it and not everyone has a keyboard that can quad hold. We're just trying to make the competition as fair as possible. I do understand where you're coming from though.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

oooo, i'll be interested how you do if you do the whole 24hrs. see how many VS AAAs you can pump out in a day XD

watch your hands tho!!

quad holding for GTS has essentially been deemed cheating i believe, back w/ that whole whimper wall situation. wasn't the only thing about that, but still

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

In before lots of users go all-out this year and two people end up with CTS :p

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

VS Boss Battle is certainly the least intensive of the high NPS songs, but the big problem with it is that it really lacks in pattern variation. I was playing it just to get 100 million in a day and I picked up temporary pattern blocks on it after only about 15 plays, haha.

EHHS is definitely your best bet in terms of consistency, because it does change up enough for your mind to realize where you are. :p

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I would join but since I'm in Japan, I'm like 14 or 15 hours ahead of server time (Server time is 2:07 AM, my time is 5:07 PM). I could do it on the 17th where I am, but then it wouldn't be on the 17th for you guys. I can only do it on my Saturday and not my Sunday, and when it's Sunday over here it would probably still be Saturday in server time x.x

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

y cant it be stepmania?

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Tentatively sign me up. I'm a 35% chance to compete atm. If Doss does this it's higher.

Edit: donating 100k credz to be added all to first place prize.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

If Dossar competes in this, I might as well not even try. Or rather, I might as well mash my keyboard for 24 consecutive hours on EHHS or something.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I reckon I will be up for this.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I plan on using a whole Saturday to do this. Time to get warmed up.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

hey it's not like you're wasting a whole day on a shitty game this time, where your exclusive token will be handed out the next day.

/bitter as hell

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

In! Mash Mash Revolution time yay!

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I'd do it, but I have work on saturday, like usual... so unfortunately I'll just have to check in on it when I get home

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I'll sign up, I won't be winning.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I like my hands, and use their fast motion for other things. so i will spectate this one. GOOD LUCK :D

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

i will be on recovery. so i am in.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I have better ways to spend a Saturday lol...

Like whoring LoL ohyeah. glhf gents

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

What exclusive token?

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Probably talking about Freedom Dive, which is honestly really dumb because it wasn't "handed out," it was given to top 12 in the official tournament at the time, which is definitely still an accomplishment.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Well the April fools-day SponCon killed my last keyboard, and I really really really like my current one...

In for a maybe, just to get 'The wisest were wrong' if I do.

*edit*
Also, if by some Extraordinary Miracle I managed 1st, Would I be able to choose 'Will you Marry Me?' (In addition to wisest) since I already have all the other event tokens? Or would I have to choose a normal token/skill token?

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I just don't know where exclusive token comes from. There's no token that's exclusive. Freedom Dive was actually going to end up with skill token requirements but for now it seems to be staying an event token.


Omega - how do you have all the event and support tokens already? Just curious seeing as though I haven't seen you around the forums much. Will you marry me is not something that is given out, it served it's purpose.

Edit again - I just looked, you don't have the wisest were wrong.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I don't post a lot on the forums but I check em every week or so. I got the 3 Support tokens back when you could buy albums.(I was actually probably the last person to buy them, Sprite removed the links I had found the day I sent the cash.) And was awarded FREEDOM DiVE (600m Choice) and Vrofl (500m Temp Req) for my participation in the April Fools SponCon.

*edit
Yes, I don't have wisest, but the question was if I came in first. I would obviously choose wisest for one of my tokens, but what would that leave me for a second choice? Since I can't pick marry, would I then have to pick something like Metro or another token I'm missing? Or would I just be stuck with one token? (Just out of curiosity)

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Wow yea haven't seen someone in a while that purchased all the support tokens. Usually when someone has all the tokens they get more of a credit prize in place. I've been discussing with bmah about getting some more event tokens since that's pretty much what we have for prizes for now since we lack shirts and things to give away that we used to have. Lets see if we can push though another event token or something.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

You should choose Scarhand :monkey:

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Upboated, Subscribed, Liked, Favorited, Immortalized in Ink, and Goes nice with a side of cheese toast.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I can't give out skill tokens as prizes, I think you guys know that already.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

...
exclusive as in no one, or very little people (let's say.. less than 30 people on this site due to low population) have. Which was Freedom Dive.

Anyway it's not my place to bitch in this thread.
don't create a thread about this, it's not up for discussions whether my bitching is actually allowed, or if I am being unreasonable.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I'm not sure where you got that it was exclusive from though, it was actually going to end up with skill requirements to unlock. At least this is another whoring competition for it like it was when it first came out.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Can't just have two participants (as of this post)!

I'm in. Let's do this.

-o24

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Any ideas if something will happen with Miles Away @ Will Your Marry Me token?

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Can the community vote to have that token removed? (Or, can staff just remove it?)

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

As far as I know it's supposed to be removed, but I'm not sure if there was a final decision on it.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Out of town that day, damn

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

We gotta have this on fall back next year ;)

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

oh PLEASE NO!!

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Why would you be against event tokens ?_? Gives us a little more variety of tokens to give out for events considering a lot of people have obtained these already.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I'm in

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I do want to try to work in some more prizes for this being that it's a pretty intensive event, I'm just trying to figure out what.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

More credits. ;D

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I think I just I prefer the ones that you can work towards getting

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

im about to say throw me down for that...but i dont know if i'll be on like i usually am...but ill try...so...:D

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I kinda feel like we have enough event tokens already. Having more just makes it even more unreasonable to try to unlock all of them. Maybe people who have them all could just be given credits instead - you could work out a reasonable exchange rate, like 50k replacing each token prize.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Not sure if I want to do this..

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

i'm in!

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Credits hold practically no value anymore. If we're doing a lot of events that means a lot of opportunities for people to obtain tokens. As of right now we're doing a lot.

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

I'm Down (: finger surgery On the 18th

Re: Gamewhore Competition
 

Maybe not to you or a couple dozen older players, sure, but credits are still a serious prize for 99% of the active member population, which is probably why tournaments still give them out. And IMO events should be targeting the people who don't hang out as much (as opposed to the users who play or talk about FFR all the time and already have everything) to get them more into the community.

Absolutely! It's great to have opportunities for people to obtain tokens. I just don't want it to get to the point where you'd have to be one of the few most talented users who can win events one after the other in order to get all the event tokens.
