Novice Level JP Contest

Hi all, a few weeks ago, I did a jumping puzzle contest that lead to a lot of fun, but to be honest, it was just a slaughter for the novice jumpers. As a result from that and the data i collect from that event, I will be doing a novice level contest on Sunday Nov. 9th at 3PM CST. I will be picking 5 entry level jumping puzzles and will only allow people that I know to be novice jumpers (i.e, Myron). The first person to reach the end first will receive one point. The person with the most points at the end of the 5 puzzles will earn first place, 2nd most points will earn 2nd, and 3rd will get 3rd, obviously. If there are ties between people at the end of the 5 then I will find a *deathmatch* puzzle for a tiebreaker between the persons.

Rules are there are no rules, you can use any skill you want. If you want to portal someone you want to help then that is totally fine. However, I will be quite selective on who gets to enter.

Prizes are:

1st: 30g
2nd: 20g
3rd: 10g

I love this idea! jumping puzzles are one of the trickiest things in this game! took me a long time to get the hang of them and I still fall ... a lot. I am super impressed by the people that can whiz up one of these darn things, but it will be nice to see a contest set for people who are not masters

WOW! I am impressed that you even included me in the novice rank! I thought I was in the "Wannabe Novice if I practice for 2 years" rank.

I'll try to get over my fear of heights that I developed after a certain someone started pushing me off of every cliff and high spot that I happened to be standing near.... ummm, Lisa's not allowed to participate is she?

I still fail the easier jp's, this sounds fun lol

I probably wouldn't be classified as a novice, but I would totally be classified as "Worlds Worst Experienced Jumper" or even, "World's Best Jp Plummetter" cos every jp is a challenge for me every time . (And to think I played platform games in days of yore). I could participate and get a prize for the "longest time anyone ever took to do a jp" Begin did the Mad King's Clocktower in a half dozen tries or so - I shut down all chat and spent the entire two weeks of Halloween last year doing that thing. I can come along just to make the novices feel good about their jumping skills

not sure where I qualify on this.... I only do jp's if I have to. But I do hate them and it takes me practice before I can get good at them

Thank You all for coming, clearly we had some issues, i will take these into account for our next one.

Thanks for doing this Betty! Even though I still don't qualify as a novice I at least got to give them a try! Now, I'm off to put band-aids on all the cuts & scraps I got from falling lol

THank you Betty!

it was actually really fun!!!

I thought it was really fun too. But I am not going to pass up this 1 chance for a suggestion....
offer bonus points for the best fall *tries not too look at Myron*
