Speaking of proper names, I fear you made an error in today's video, raocow. The designer's name is Lespna1, yet you refer to him at one point as Poopface1. Those aren't even similar at all.

Ever since you got partnered with Machinima, it seems like you've been trying to make people forget that you're playing on an emulator. Is that just me, or have you been making an honest effort to do that for the sake of legitimacy?

I was thinking the same thing. As soon as he explained the contest, I was hoping for an edited door select room that went 1, 2, ⑨.

The lowest ranking 'level' is not a troll but one that misunderstood the concept? This is unfamiliar territory here.

One of the first official message that I got was to avoid showing the emulator because it would reveal my name, etc, but after reading that I figured I'd go all out, just of the heck of it.

Well that's weird. We've seen your name plenty of times, and your last name is on your web comics anyway so I guess it doesn't matter.

I remember it showing up once and raocow saying something like, "Oh man, my real name!" so I guess you didn't see that video.

Little fact about this last place level and why it is so low:
S.N.N. wrote:Fun fact: this was the exact same sublevel that the author submitted as an attempt to fit into SMWCP, hence why he spams the world 3 boss throughout it.

To those who thought genuine effort went into this, allow me to confirm that none went in at all. He didn't even bother specifically designing a new level for this contest.
A further note is that this hacker has been on the hacking scene for longer than I have (that is, over seven years now) and his skills have not improved at all. It's almost .. incredibly sad from my point of view. Like, I genuinely feel bad for him.

I honestly have to say that I am slightly disappointed that you decided to play the contest levels cause I thought that we would get to see one of the hacks like Hyper VI or Mario Gives Up 2!

If you insist on this series without dragging it out, I would go with what some people say at the end of Vanilla '10; that being doing the bottom 10 and Top 20.

With that said, don't touch my entry at all. I asked to have it unranked because of a misinterpretation of the rules.

It's no problem, we all knew your real name was Hououin Kyouma.

For those curious about raocow's suspicion, I can confirm that this is one of the beta versions of the SMWCP base ROM from before the coin counter was changed to five digits and the score was done away with.

Kinda' sad to see it, really...but as SNN said, there was no effort put into this at all.

I was thinking all three unranked (two disqualified and yours) at the end or something, would you mind if I played it in that context?

I just want to say that these contests have become to me among the least favorite of raocow's LPs. Seeing all these low-ranking levels and wondering why they're even here and then making fun of them isn't enjoyable for me, especially how long the last contest video series dragged on. raocow himself said during the later part of it that it was losing its taste.

But I'll check in occasionally to see if there's something particular interesting going on.

The vanilla bowser brought back some bad memories.

Ah man! If I had known that raocow was going to do this contest (and if I had known this contest existed) I would have made a terrible level with horrible palettes and threw in tons of blatant references and an automated level!

Actually, that wasn't very funny the first time, so I probably wouldn't have. Oh well, here's to a start of a new thing.

Relevant reading, I guess, Official Event Topic what with all the rules, Topic where people submitted entries, and Critique Notes for the entries arranged by submitter's name alphabetically.

Okay, I'm curious- do I want to know what was necessary to achieve disqualification now, or should I wait until the disqualified entries come up to actually hear about that? 'Cause I mean, when the rule is that one is to make a hack within 24 hours, and then you don't actually make a hack in those 24 hours, it sounds to me like this hack should have been disqualified. I assume the two are either god awful or just ended up submitting after the deadline passed.

Anyone want to say anything about how they ranked the entries that were tied this time around?
