WELCOME TO CARNIVAL OF DEATH 2019

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once." ​

WELCOME TO THE

​

Where the valiant die many times, and cowards never taste of death but once. The week of March 25 through April 1 celebrates Tetris's greatest mode, T.A. Death, and this year's DEATH TOLL.​

The rules are simple: you play Death Mode, you die, you post your best score here, repeat, and die again. The total levels achieved by the community will become this year's DEATH TOLL.

Scores from TAP, MAME, Texmaster, Nullpomino, and any other clones and emulators are accepted, as long as they're played with the proper Death settings (correct speedcurve, TAP randomiser, no floorkicks, ARS, 1 preview, no hold).

"I never wish death on nobody, 'cause there ain't coming back from that."

 

Shiromino - G2 Death - 320

 

got this one my own self just past the date rollover last night ;3c

sights set on 200, and then 300 and torikan...

 

poor, will improve when i cba to go to jamie's

 

Eh. It's something.

 

ahh, 20g stacking is so hard

new player here, here's my current death pb, 177 achieved this morning on TAP

 

I am not very good at this mode

http://prntscr.com/n2sibe

 

Got a fresh new score of 551 today, and I get to be the first to post an M score!
www.twitch.tv/videos/401138176

 

My best so far is 319, at least better than last year

Also party it up with the new Carnival of Death drink, the TORIKAN BOMB! https://tetrisconcept.net/threads/3830/#post-66217

 

YES over 300; will try to improve later probably, but hit my goal for this CoD

 

Got a 444 and decided to post it just because it's a cool number. We'll see if I manage to get something better before the end of the week. :>

 

661 is so close to the death number

 

Only had time for a few games today. Though I'll up the toll for now to get the ball rolling.

Death Toll +337

 

Not sure I'll beat this throughout the rest of the week. It'll be disappointing for a day 1 best though.

 

Oh man I could almost taste the victory

The grind begins now!

 

Oh I forgot to post about this site I made which will get the live DEATH TOLL from this thread and update it live every 15 minutes. You can use it in your OBS stream like @Archina did above.

https://death-toll.glitch.me/

If you don't like the styles, you can override them with OBS, or fork the project on glitch.me by clicking this link: https://glitch.com/edit/#!/remix/death-toll

 

541! First M! Can't get the time, the screen faded out as I was trying to snap the pic.

 

Just put some weights on the p2 start button if you have one, then the game will always stay on the end screen, but you can still start new player 1 games.

 

GM @ 06:14.86

EDIT: Will upload a video a little later.

Thanks for updating the thread so promptly and giving players titles

EDIT 2: Video added

 

First run so far that's better than last year's submission, looking to post a new PB at some point.

EDIT: It's 294, not 296, oops. I can count to at least 296, I swear!
