karokoenig Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Cool idea. But paper? Couldn't it be tin, brass, or wood? :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamer_27330 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I like it, as paper as in fake , an ode to paper classes offered at unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Maybe I just ask here... Question 1: Since Spriggy has donated AA store gift certificates to those who made it to the bracket challenges - when will that drawing be? Question 2: Would it be desirable if I donate a little prize for the winner of the Paper Medal? Something physical from my collection. All players in here would be eligible for the prize (I would give it to myself, be happy and save some shipping costs if I'd end up to be the one.), provided he/she hasn't already drawn a gift certificate. See question 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karokoenig Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I'm not sure yet, Vocelli. I could think of many things. Atari games, maybe a joystick, maybe even a Sega or NES controller. Maybe I could just chip in a $15 gift certificate for the AA store myself. Give me a few days to rummage through my stuff and see what I got. We are not in an extreme hurry, considering how long the tournament still goes. I just think that a real prize might be a bit of an incentive to participate.

karokoenig Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I've dug through my collection and may have found something that might be interesting as a prize: Winner of this Paper Medal Bracket can choose any two of the games depicted above. All are US NTSC games, and all are sealed, except for Bump 'n Jump, which is just CIB. The shrink wrap on Crossbow has become brittle and is broken. None of the boxes is without small dents, but overall, they are in fairly good condition for their age. If the winner is not interested in any of these, I would ask Albert to hand out a $ 15 AA store gift card on my bill instead. The games were part of a HUGE lot of stuff I got from a large-scale German collector a while ago. I paid a ridiculously low price for that lot, so I think it's only fair to give something of that generous gift back to the community. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicgamer_27330 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 <sarcasm> I'm not going to bother posting a screenshot while I'm not in the top 2, but I improved my score greatly from the speed demon time of 54.64 all the way down to 54.45 I feel like I improved so much I can stop for a coffee break </sarcasm> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmiller Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Wow, Thanks for the Prize!! Now just need to figure out which Home Brew game will most likely be used next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicgamer_27330 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) I've got this exact score two more times, After missing the bronze medal by 1 point last HSC, I might be knocked out of this by .12 seconds unless the humble, strict but fair mod decides to let more people advance in this having a hard time improving on that, but no I'm not giving up on .12 seconds Edited April 20, 2019 by classicgamer_27330 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMooCowz Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 53.15 Beat my regular season time after many attempts. I'm guessing I won't try again until I'm knocked out of the top 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
