PFFT.

There is my basis, happy?

FWIW "under 1:30" to some extent implies "not under 1hr".

I could of course be wrong because you did NOT release your time, however with cerb's implication and the fact that someone else released thier time first, (in my mind) credebility may be lost if your time drops down to thiers with the same strategies used. (since cerb implied that it was more than an hour)

Of course implications are a tricky business, so it probably would have been best if "less than 1:30" wasn't said at all.

you will get to know our time when linsys posts his video unless he is dead and forgot to notice us about his death.

It seemed obvious to anyone who actually was part of the challenge (ie. ourselves, fenix) that "under 1:30" was a bit of a joke, since if you notice, theres a "1:30, lol." Anyone can do this under 1:30, and for the record I haven't even seen fenix's video, as I couldn't download it from his server. I have plenty of my own ideas, and seeing someone else for inspiration is completely unnecessary.

You shall see.

Okay, but joke or not the implication (ie. basis) is still there.

In any event, I do anxiously await your video, and so I do hope that LINSYS hurries up and posts his.

Worked fine for me last night. Sometimes the server is down for maintenance, and I suspect that may have been the issue. Also some servers are faster/slower than others, so try a few.

Znuggle · Apr 07, 2006, 02:46 PM // 14:46

Had'nt any problems downloading it either. Btw nice run.

The Fenixxor · Apr 07, 2006, 02:56 PM // 14:56

Ah well, Thanks

added the same video to my guide in tyrian explorers league... i'm surprised - it already has like 60 downloads.

bobrath · Apr 07, 2006, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Looks like the link for Fenixxor's vid is available again.

Feanixxx · Apr 07, 2006, 04:59 PM // 16:59

I managed (once) to drop 48% before it hung.

Usually I never get that far, either the web page refuses to come up or, no matter which server I pick, it just hangs on 'waiting for server'.

Any chance of posting it to another download site?

*EDIT*
I dropped my Kerio software firewall and got thru to the servers and managed to start the drop. The firewall was obviously blocking something the site needs in order to work (Javascript/VBScript or some such). Others please take note to save on hairpulling

The Fenixxor · Apr 07, 2006, 05:16 PM // 17:16

There arent really many sites that will host 250mb files for free... have you tried downloading from a different server in fileshare?

I could compress it to 2x the speed if you want, then i can put it on best sharing. but i wont do that until tomorrow as it takes a long time to resave and then to upload.

Opeth11 · Apr 08, 2006, 08:32 AM // 08:32

Ha, my partner and I just gave this challenge a shot and we clocked in at over 2 hours!

I recorded the whole thing and well, I highly doubt we can win or even contend in this challege.

Oh, triple nightmare spawns suck.

Narutoscryed · Apr 08, 2006, 08:43 AM // 08:43

Although this might be taken the wrong way. In my opinion you should just have a timed smite run... although its easy.. the videos would be smaller in file size.. and the numbers of competetors far greater because all people du0 really is the smite run.. because as far as i can tell there are at max 15 or 20 folks competing in this comp of yours... just seems like a better idea than haggling amongst yourselves about unreleased times, file size limits. and such on and so forth...

As for myself i just look forward to seeing some legendary monks and necros tear S#^% up...

Theres a smite run vid in my UW guide at tyrian explorers league (sorry for plugging

) completed in 14 mins ish

I love getting whispered by someone asking if I "Think i'll win the competition" when I'm barely in a screenshot and mentioned twice by Avarre. In other news, I too like videos of people tearing shit up.

You seem to have answered your own question. (At least I assume that was supposed to be a question. I couldn't really tell since you weren't talking in complete sentences.)

Anyway, the point of this is to do something challenging that not everyone does, and put others to the challenge. Not to mention that smite runs, and the subsequent videos, are pretty boring after you've done the run yourself more than a couple times. Don't get me wrong though, Cerb's smite run video (and a few others) are inspiring, but I'd much rather see his than another smite run video.

I was under the impression that anyone good at the run also cleared Vale and all possible quests?

The Fenixxor · Apr 08, 2006, 01:40 PM // 13:40

i do servents of grenth at the end of my smite runs now, the other quests are less time effective though.

lord of shadow · Apr 08, 2006, 05:14 PM // 17:14

edit: scrap that im having a go anyway, dont wait for my entry as theres no way its gonna win and lag will mean several attempts will probably be needed. however its somethign to do and a challenge is always a good thing.

gl to everyone, downloading the first vid now

The Fenixxor · Apr 08, 2006, 08:29 PM // 20:29

Yea come on guys, wanna see a few more videos
