    I have been thinking about this for a few days, at least, thinking about it hard for a few days. I have actually been wanting to do something to this extent for a couple months now.

    I propose a Golden Sun contest - starting with GS, then ending with the end of GS:TLA, of course.
    Rules
    If you break one of the following, you will obviously be disqualified for some and some time will be added to your game for others, this will make sence later.
    1. NO Memory Editing at all (Hard to tell, but I'll try my best).
    2. You MUST take a .sav of your FIRST time battling Satorous/Menardi and send it to me, don't post it here.
    3. NO .sps files. (Gameshark Snapshot files, otherwise known as saves)
    4. This is more of a recommendation than a rule - don't use speed on the VBA, it will add game time insanely.
    5. Absolutely NO walkthrough's, outside of Djinni locations and the order of people on the boat to tolbi.
    6. All questions go to me, not another contestant.

    Okay, now how the heck am I going to grade you?

    Well first things first, it will be a point system. First points will be the first to be Golden Sun One (lowest game time)
    1st place = 100 points
    2nd place = 75 points
    3rd place = 50 points
    4th place = 25 points
    5th place = 20 points
    6th place = 15 points
    7th place = 10 points
    8th place = 5 points
    9th place = 0 points (speed it up!)


    Okay, second thing will be your level after beating.
    100 points awarded to anything under 23.
    75 points awarded to anything under 25
    50 points awarded to anything under 27
    25 points awarded to anything under 30
    and 20 points awarded to anything under 35. (any higher will get 15 points)


    Third, is the gear owned at the time. (Including weapons)
    1st place = 100 points
    2nd place = 75 points
    3rd place = 50 points
    4th place = 25 points
    5th place = 20 points
    6th place = 15 points
    7th place = 10 points
    8th place = 5 points
    9th place = 0 points


    Highest level also recieves points - so it gives everybody a chance.
    100 points awarded to anything over 35.
    75 points awarded to anything over 30
    50 points awarded to anything over 27
    25 points awarded to anything over 25
    and 20 points awarded to anything over 23. (any lower will get 15 points)


    alright, that's all I can think of at the time. I may add more. So it's a 300 point system, per game, 600 points in total, there'll probably be more for the second game however. Once GS:1 is over I'll take a look and see what else I can add - recommendations are helpful. I'll be providing the VBA, ROM files, and a .sav right outside of vale. (I hate the beginning). That is what EVERYBODY will start with.

    Now questions? Any questions go ahead and post here, I'll be active for a while.

    Edit : YAY - I thought of a new point category.
    The Highest level points do not stack, so if you're 36 you don't get the full 270 points.

    If you want to compete, either post here, PM me, or add me to msn @ [email protected], aim @ Hayako467.

      Didn't GL have a Golden Sun speed run contest last year?

        Not that I know of. I just thought it would be fun, and a good reason to play the game again.

              Maybe. Though it looks a lot more interesting than the other contest, which if I remember correctly was only scored on gametime.

                I've had too much time to think about it, lol. It's good to hear you say maybe, at the least.

                  I would, but you caught me in the middle of a playthrough of GS:TLA

                    That's fine. Hit me up whenever you can Gio - I'm actually coding Golden Sun in VB. Work in progress, just started last night, beta won't be out for a longgggggggggg time.
