as a reminder, The main part of the marathon challenge is now on. Only the bonus picks have been extended to the 4th.

I also made a thread specifically for people to post their scores and score updates, so place your templates and such over there. Either post your bonus picks here, or DM them to me.

You choose from the Bonus 1, Mini-marathon and Mega-marathon right?

Here it is:
1) Mr. Invisible
2) Kung-fu Empire
3) Crimson Belvedere ~ Eastern Dream

Also, what are the diffs needed in the main maps?
heipizhu
Hmm, after I moved up the bracket, I found myself having difficulty to even pass the bonus 1 map. Would it be apporpiate to allow bracket movers to play bonus 1 with their original SR?

Picks are noted.

The links for the main maps should be in the sheet, right below the name of each song. If you don't see them or they aren't working (or don't point to the proper map), do let me know.

I apologize if it's still not clear, but you need to re-select Bonus 1 and pick between Best of Impossible or Worldenddominator for Bonus 2. Please re-read the selection rules for Bonus Pick 1 and keep asking questions if it's still unclear.

I accept the pick for Bonus 3.

Part of the intent with Bonus Pick 1 was for you to select a higher difficulty among the main maps that was certainly higher than your usual SR so as to be more difficult than the main pool, but still not completely impossible (at least as far as I see it), so I can't allow that.

These players still need to send me all or some of their bonus picks.

Mrmcmikey - Bonus Pick 1
Heipizhu - Bonus Pick 1

Aireunaeus - Bonus picks 1 and 2
Bathbombman - All bonus picks

Jer1cs - All bonus picks

Qumania - All bonus picks
Aizuuya - COnfirm all random
LuckyYQ - All bonus picks

Remember, you must announce your bonsu picks to me either in this thread or through DMs by the end of March 4th. Failure to do so (or to ask for random picks) will result in them being blank and you being unable to earn the bonus prizes.

Don't forget that there is a two-score requirement at the end of the first week, or by March 8th, or you will be automatically DQ'd. I will count both Main and bonus maps for this. If you do not think that you can continue, please let me know before then.

I meant to post a warning about submitting scores to avoid DQ's today, but that didn't work out. Depending on how many people might be cut, I'll consider adding an extra day after I check the scores thread.

Also, thank you, Aireu and MIkey.

I did all the main maps and two of the bonuses the first couple days and haven't done anything for quite a while. Am I cut?

As the rules say, so long as you post at least two submissions by the first week, you won't be cut.

EDIT: After being thrown around by stupid-ass people who don't/can't come in to work for the last couple of days, I finally have everyone updated in the spreadsheet. Plus, whether it's because I inadvertently gave everyone the extra time, nobody is DQ'd as both Zyoulou and Aizuuya both indicated they were going to be unable to play before even the original DQ date.

Don't rest on your laurels, though. There's still 15 days left in the challenge, and only Sebastian has submissions available for every map. I'd love to see everyone get submissions in for all their picks, personally speaking.

Even so, good luck.

Everyone has been sent a general reminder to finish submitting their scores (and to try for their bonus picks). THe challenge officially ends on March 24th, so be sure to get your scores in by then.
Jellinad
this thread just died randomly lol

I'll get my scores up 3-4 days before the end, it takes a while to get them up and I can't be bothered to repeatedly go through the whole process every 2 days
Aireunaeus
Bumping this also. Btw voided i think you have to extend the deadline cuz there were only few people who completed it already and most of them also forgot it or has a lack of motivation doing it imo.

oh god i have to finish doing this too? (welp I shouldn't have joined in the first place sry ;w;)

THere will be no extension. I gave a reminder to everyone at the one week and two week points. While my hope was and is full participation from everybody, you all had basically the entire month to work on this. While I totally understand if real life got in the way, it is your responsibility to tell me that you wish to bow out.

That being said, I will admit that this more open-ended style in the challenge doesn't always lend itself to active participation. The specific topic for this specific month's challenge probably didn't help much in that regard, although that is why I tried to give everyone an extra week to play. That will hopefully be addressed next time.

on the opposite end of the spectrum, would it be better to give players only a few days to complete the challenge? i feel like that would encourage players to actually complete the challenge

That is a consideration. I didn't want to make it shorter than a week because that feels too constricting (especially if something comes up that you have no control over and it possible takes a week or more between the incident itself and any fallout afterwards), but two weeks feels just almost too long, at least based on the first two months. I will also freely admit I was not as attentive this month as I was the previous months, so that might be a factor as well. Not from the prodding the participants facet, but just from not really actively checking the threads as much as I should've.

However, I have something I'm going to implement for April, so we'll see how that goes.

As a heads-up, the challenge is officially over. I should have the results ready by Friday night.

EDIT: Plz let me post twice. Waiting 24 hours is annoying as shit...

anyways, the results are in. The winners in each bracket for the March Marathon Challenge are:

600-799K: [ Sebastian ]!
200-299K: DPeace!
100-149K: Flareling22!
50-99K: Jer1cs!
10-49K: LuckyYQ!

These players will be getting 1 month's supporter from me in the coming week.

Additionally, these players have earned bonus supporter due to FC-ing or SS-ing their bonus map selections:

[ Sebastian ]: 3 months bonus supporter
DPeace: 2 Months bonus supporter
WienerBeaner: 1 month bonus supporter
Qumania: 4 months bonus supporter

The earliest I can do it is Monday as I'll have to open my account for international purchases, so expect them sometime next week.

But, with the challenge over with, please share any thoughts and comments and such. I have already shared some of my thoughts in my posts directly before this one.
[ Sebastian ]
4 months of supporter? Wow, I'm set for a while.

I wanted to FC my third bonus map, but I lost my FC after getting around halfway through the map and I got so upset I quit for the night. I ended up forgetting about it and wasn't able to FC it on time. Although I might work on FCing it in the future just for fun.
FlowyYQ
I was hoping for more competition mostly because i am on the lower side of the bracket

But that was nice really, thanks for introducing me to some cool maps like Mr.Invisible. Can't get the song out of my head until now... If only i were good enough to play it lol

why do people literally not play the maps... most of my scores were sightreads and not really hard to beat, but i guess i'll take the victory

I take back what I said that the maps were too easy lol, my performance was so terrible this time. +1 for Mr. Invisible, I am addicted. Idk what else to say, thanks for hosting this :)

If you feel motivation or IRL responsibilities are going to be a problem, I think you would be better off just telling me you can't participate. While I can't deny some annoyance at you promising to play and then saying you can't, I won't judge you for putting your real life ahead of this game and basically telling me as much.

It's disheartening as the organizer to see people sign up for the challenge and then barely play at all. And judging by Flare's reaction, it can also be disheartening to the players to see their competition barely try. I am probably never going to accept an NFDT 0 score submission again, but just going through the effort to submit a one-and-done is better than not trying at all. Again, just having a score submission gives you points that you just might be able to win with.

understandable, and it's ok, i was just kinda surprised that i won purely by submitting scores. hopefully april's tv size challenge would be more appealing than marathons, although i'll probably be competing as a 5 digit by then

This aged like milk considering April's challenge has less people than this month's challenge.

By the way I'm excited for April's challenge.
