    No problem,man. Thanks for the clarification. I'm sorry for what happened.

    If you still want to help with next week track, you just have to say. Otherwise, I'll figure out a replacement, there is some people who already reached out.

    As for today, I'll go out with my familiy now to celebrate my birthday that was Wednesday. I'll finish the round when I have the time. Also, I will try to finish the track with tetrationiscool and publish it probably tomorrow. It's been kinda hard for me to test the track (and make ghosts in general) with my messed up keyboard. But I guess the track is fine (but it's hard,though. At least it has many checkpoints), and I'll only try to make some small details.

    Sorry for the delay, but life happens. This time, it just was the case to happen with multiple people at the same time.

    Let's go! The contest isn't over, but the time is running out to change your position in the overall rankings.

    Here are the updated standings. Will make a full post about the round soon, update the calendar and stuff. Congrats to Anonyymi again.

    PS: I really like the idea of the contest, but I guess it might have been too long? What do you guys think? Also, cup might have been better. But we are keep going with it until the end, let's see how it goes.

    But I would like some feedback, since some people kinda left the contest. Not too good idea? The tracks weren't good? Lack of consistency? Too much time to ghost or the time to ghost isn't long enough? Personal preferences? Too long contest for people with a actual life, lol? Haha, I don't know. But I keep thinking that a cup would have all of the rounds with something at risk and would end sooner, so it might have been best. I still think that it was and is good idea, and let's see how the last tracks will turn out to be like.

    If there's one thing that's consistent, it's anonyymi scoring first on every track.

    If people want a very competetive and official contest, then the current format is fine. But if people felt pressured to ghost well on some of the harder tracks and didn't ghost at all because of that, I wouldn't mind having a more casual contest. Which would mean less time to ghost, less rounds, no tracks harder than the easier tracks in this contest and maybe the cup format.

    Cool, will keep in mind if I ever host a contest again. I think that I might do it like in 6 months or whatever if people want to and no one is doing it. I like this style, but I can see some problems with it. If I do another one, I'll do it in a cup format.

    I know that you are 1st in every single track, but are you actually enjoying the contest?

    So let's go. That was the 7th round. Although, there wasn't as much active contestants in this round, it had more that the previous one at least. The difference this time is that many top ghosters on the contest didn't completed the track, like Zycerak and tetrationiscool . I get that the contest turned out to be more tiring than I expected, but I was hoping that people would try to keep going with it until the end, because there's now only 3 track left. Some people did, some didn't. But anyways, let's talk about the round results:

    Anonyymi took it again, 7 in a row. Congrats! RedOrBlue did good as always and took the 2nd place in the overall rankings. Awesome ghost by Stevie.T that is keeping the quality and consistency in the contest! Your hard work and consistency made you get this 3rd place in the overall ranking. Congrats!

    RustyClarkson did great again and is only 1 point away from me, with makes him 1 point away from the top 5. The battle is real, man! Bring it on!

    crazywizard_13 made his best punctuation in a round yet, so congrats! You improved 6 positions in the overall ranking.

    Shoutout to ei8ht ,Cork and BrendanMagill for keeping up with the great ghosts, and also for DblU, cctvcctvcctv , Pie42 and demimondance for completing this as well. You guys are showing a lot of persistence on the tracks, so I admire the dedication! In a track without checkpoints it is really impressive to not spacebar as some of you didn't.

    Also, thanks to Rayb25 / Holystone for the track. I kinda messed up with the calendar, but you did it and it was a challenging one, but not long as I had suggested, so thank you!

    Thank you for everyone who completed the track, who will compete in the last 3 rounds and that are willing to help in the making of those tracks. I'll reach out to the ones wanting to help with the tracks soon.

    Track probably tomorrow, and here are the updated standings (again) and calendar:

  10. i don’t know if waiting 6 months is a good idea heh. maybe a bit shorter break or announce a new contest when lots of people are active. i think maybe some of the top players gave up a bit partially because of the track but mostly because anonyymi OP hehe. i think maybe the contest is a bit too long so next time a few less rounds and different approach to the system (cup). thanks for hosting this though and hopefully the next 3 tracks are fun and i’m still willing to help if needed. :)

    Yea I've had fun in every round so far. I'm fine with any format but obviously the one with the most participation is the best. I hope more people would give their opinions.

    Cool, noted. Thanks, man!

    Also, I agree with your analysis.

    And about 6 months, I just typed a random date, didn't think it through. Let's see how it goes. It might happen sooner.

    I agree that having a shorter contest would keep people involved more.

    8 rounds are enough. I think only 6 round are a little bit to short.

    That's true. I was going to do 8, but I kinda got on the hype with the 3-4 first rounds that had many people involved, tracks getting on Trending or Daily Track, so I wanted to make it longer, but it wasn't the right move.

    Again, thanks everyone for the feedback. It's the best way to improve next time.

    Will post the new track in a few minutes. The round 8 was supposed to be easier, but that is the track we have for today. It's a really hard trial, so I put many checkpoints to help. Will make sure that round 9 is easier.
