    I think that's doable. I won't call the race closed just yet, then.

    Damn only having 4 do-overs! Mind, it's only fair, otherwise ppl would just take the Whizzer and have fun and/or mock episodes.

    At least I'm better set for the next one, if there is another S&M race. Strong Bad is the one I'm going to suck in because 1) the gameplay is quite different and 2) I've only had one playthough of every episode. I won't even touch W&G in a race situation because I really find it hard to use the arrow keys while pointing and clicking.

    Yeah, Icedhope and I thought carefully about how many do-overs to allow. Actually, I need to go back and see if I can find that conversation, because I've forgotten what we decided about the do-overs for the next Monkey Island race.

    If only the Telltale season, I'd recommend one. If all the games, I'd recommend 2, maybe 3.

    Okay, I looked it up. We decided that you get to redo one LucasArts game and one chapter of Tales. Also, I'm not certain, but I think we may have decided that you can trade your LucasArts do-over for two more Tales do-overs, though I'm not sure if that's really fair since some people actually finished Secret faster than some episodes of Tales.

    I think that's still fair. The way I see it, if you still have one time for each and every game, it really doesn't matter which are longer compared with others. Perhaps I'm missing something here.

    Don't forget that Tales still has only 5 episodes and the other MIs comprise 4. For S&M, 6 + 5 + 5 = 16 episodes. 4 do-overs is the square root of this. Applied to MI, this gives us 9 gameplays = 3 do-overs. You could either redo 1 LA, 1 episode and another of choice or leave all 3 to the player to decide. To me, I can't see it making that much difference.

    Another formula would be D.O. = 2 * sq-root(total) - 4. This gives exactly 2 do-overs for MI while still giving 4 for S&M. Obviously still up to whoever organises it.

    I plan to get the rest of 301 done tonight, and the final 3 do-overs tomorrow.
  • edited October 2010
    Sorry! I had way too much things to do today, and had no time to fit the Race in. I just need ONE more day, and then you can call the race closed, wheather all my do-overs are done or not.

    OK, the final 3 do-overs start NOW.

    Nevermind, encountered possible 302 glitch:
    I did the Nefertiti-ventroloquist thing in reel 3 before going to reel 2, and now I can't get Jurgen to stay in his room so Nefertiti can give him the letter.
    I didn't really test other possible things out, because it was a Race entry, so as far as I know, it is a glitch.

    I think I had that once but on other occasions, she's gone into his room and left it for him on the dressing table.

    Sorry, can't get the other two done today. End it if you want, but I would like the extra day. I need to go lie down, because I can't stop blinking.
  • edited October 2010
    Go ahead and take the extra day. You're at the end, so I'll end it when you're finished.
