RPG's Tech Hoax Spotting Competition Topic!
« on: April 17, 2006, 08:20:26 pm »
Yup, thats right, my hoaxing antics have wound their way into this little number.

Remember Taco's DX Pics Competition? Yeah, this is basically a rip-off of that. Moving on....

Basically, I'll be posting up to 4 pictures a 'Round', of screenshots from various Sonic games, with various things wrong with them, and its YOUR job to TELL ME WHAT THEY ARE :O.

You'll be awarded points for each one you find, up to 10 for hard ones, and 1 for easy ones. Also ridiculously hard ones will be potentially worth more.

That said, on with the hoaxes :o

ROUND ONE

Hoax #1

There are 6 things wrong with this (The fact its knux in S1 does NOT count).

There are 4 glaringly obvious techies, each of them worth a point each.
There are 2 not-impossible-but-hardish-to-spot techies, one of them is worth 4 points, the other is worth 6.



Hoax #2

Only 2 things wrong here. (Thats a background for 'Poison Hill Zone' and does nout count.)

One of them is pretty obvious and worth 3 points.
The other is not obvious in any way, shape or form and worth 20 points.



Hoax #3

LAST HOAX OF THE UPDATE *shot*

Seriously now, 3 techies to find. (Again, the fact Knux shouldnt be able to get to that part of Chemical Plant is not part of this techie hoax (Also I got in here using Level Select, not by beating Emerald Hill.))

3 Things to spot.

One is semi-obvious and worth 3 points.
Another is not-so-semi-obvious and worth 4 points.
One is slightly hard to spot and worth 5 points.



PM me your 'answers', rather than posting them in here, Chuck has seen all 3, mike and Spinny have seen the 'BETA' of Hoax #1 and I know which techies they spotted so they dont have an advantage?

Got all that? Happy Hunting! :o

EDIT: Oh yeah, deadline for this is four days from now, so the 22nd :o

Here's the running tally for this Round :o

1st:eredani- 44 Points
2nd:Aitamen- 43 Points
3rdmike89- 21 Points
4th:PsyBorg- 19 Points
4th:yoshifan- 19 Points
6thSpinballWizard- 14 Points

9th:Quartz-  7 Points
10th:Tails47 2- 5 Points
11th:eggFL- 4 Points
12th:theenglishman- 2 Points

Aitamen* takes the lead and becomes the games first powerhouse, mike** takes a close second, while PsyBorg and yoshifan takes a comfortable 3rd :o And now eredani steals 2nd from mike :o

*He got an extra 10 points for detailing something in #2 that I knew was there but didnt consider a tech hoax. Until he described it to me X)

10 extra points to anyone else who gets it too.

**mike got 6 bonus points for telling me two things that are gayed up in #2.

Same as the above applies

Spinny found another fuck up in #2 (Man I should've done that one properly >_>) and is awarded 5
bonus points.

eredani steals the show at the last possible minute :O. Anyhow, on to Round 2!

Here's the running total for Round Two :o

1st:eredani- 78 Points
2nd:Aitamen- 70 Points
3rd:mike89- 44 Points
4th:Spinballwizard- 43 Points
5th:PsyBorg- 41 Points
6thGreham Adelphis- 26 Points
7th:sonicam- 23 Points
8th:yoshifan- 19 Points
9th:Quartz- 17 Points
10th:Shadow Wedge- 10 Points
11th:Tails47 2- 5 Points
12th:eggFL- 4 Points
13th:theenglishman- 2 Points

sonicam and PsyBorg are the first to give answers for this Round, so naturally their rankings increase a tad with sonicam moving up to 4th and PsyBorg taking 3rd. Aitamen storms back into the lead and almost 'perfects' (+10 Points) this Round and 'Borg gets 2 bonus points for a fuck-up in Hoax #1. Damn I shouldn't rush these.

Greham spots the same fuck-up as PsyBorg and also lands some of the high-scoring hoaxes in the process, knocking him up to P4! mike shoots in and ties eredani for 2nd place.....but for how long? Swedgey also joins us this Round and gets in at P9:O

:O!! Spinny dives in and spots all the hoaxes bar ONE in hoax #1, just missing out on the +10 perfect round bonus :O Spinny shoots straight up to 4th, JUST missing out on a 3-way-tie for 2nd

Quartz earns an extra 10 points and moves up a place :o

What else will happen between now and the 27th? Zonos, only time will tell :O

ZONOS. eredani once again submits just before the deadline and scoops up first place by a whole 10 Points.

ROUND TWO IS NOW OFFICIALLY OVER

Answers and Round 3 coming sometime later today, Im tired and playing Pokemon Quartz X)

Actually, I spotted TWO fuck-ups, remember?


But hey, Hoax 1 is still hard as hell to figure out though.
