Carnival season ain't over yet! For the first time on today, May 23, comes the Carnival of Darkness, where we specifically play the type of Death where we can't see anything. The rules are simple: you play Phantom Mania, you struggle to remember where everything is, you die because you made too many holes, you post your best level here, and you die again. There are two engines that currently support Phantom Mania with the correct rules: Nullpomino and Cambridge. On Nullpomino, the allowed rulesets are Classic2, Classic3, or anything Standard. On Cambridge, the allowed rulesets are Classic ARS on Phantom Mania, and Ti-ARS or SRS on Phantom Mania N. (The only difference between the two is that Phantom Mania only allows one piece preview and no hold, while Phantom Mania N allows three previews and a hold.) Each ruleset class (Classic ARS / Classic2, Ti-ARS / Classic3, SRS / Standard) will have its own leaderboard. Classic Darkness Level: 806 Code: Rank | Player | LVL | Time | ------|-----------------------|-----|---------| 1 | MaryHadALittle | 252 | 1:56.73 | 2 | TPM2209 | 199 | 1:52.41 | 3 | arcorann | 121 | 1:26.81 | 4 | simonlc | 92 | 1:16.15 | 5 | CylinderKnot | 85 | 1:09.66 | 6 | 2Tie | 57 | 0:48.28 | Terror Darkness Level: 577 Code: Rank | Player | LVL | Time | ------|-----------------------|-----|---------| 1 | TPM2209 | 327 | 2:30.11 | 2 | arcorann | 157 | 1:49.76 | 3 | CylinderKnot | 93 | 1:15.18 | Super Darkness Level: 1,433 Code: Rank | Player | LVL | Time | ------|-----------------------|-----|---------| 1 | TPM2209 | 729 | 4:57.60 | 2 | arcorann | 225 | 2:52.48 | 3 | simonlc | 139 | 2:29.86 | 4 | FerSave | 131 | 1:59.55 | 5 | CylinderKnot | 110 | 1:53.20 | 6 | MisdropPi | 99 | ?:??.?? | Total Darkness: 2,816 Why does it start on May 23? The date represents 5:23, the level 800 torikan in Phantom Mania. This carnival will run for one week, until the end of May. I hope to see lots of people stumble their way into contributing to the Darkness Level.
And here's my own entry from Cambridge-SRS, to kick things off: I've gotten rusty. I used to be able to easily pass the 2:28 torikan, but now I'm over by 11 seconds.
There we go, I cleared the first gate. And one for Classic ARS: And Ti-ARS too: That last one's well on the way to breaking the torikan!
Gave it a few tries, I've been meaning to get back to playing TAP Master anyway Classic ARS, 199 @ 1:33.03
NullpoMino - CLASSIC2 - 85 - 1:09.66 https: //imgur(dot)com/70Bq8q7 NullpoMino - CLASSIC3 - 93 - 1:15.18 https: //imgur(dot)com/pEzd80d NullpoMino - STANDARD-HARD - 110 - 1:53.20 https: //imgur(dot)com/dobtI92 I could not upload these images directly to the forums because it says that the images are too large despite the image size limit being much, MUCH bigger than these images. If I copy-pasted the Imgur links directly, they would break due to the auto-formatting.
We've officially passed the toll of the first Carnival of Derp! I'm so proud of everyone who's contributed so far Let's keep going though! Let's go for 4 digits on a single board! Made it to 199, then choked.
Here's one from the stream I did tonight: SRS: 729 @ 4:57.60 A little far from the torikan, I think, but it's highly doable.
And that's the end! Thanks to everyone who participated in the pioneer event! We managed a total darkness level of just over 2,800 this year. Let's go for over 5,000 in 2020!
