look at all that dignity

[Franz]

I spotted @MrOchoa tampering with the pyrotechnics diplay under the podium where “The Finish Line” will receive its award. There was a bewildered look in his eyes, muttering something about traditions that need to be respected. Probably getting worried over nothing though, he’s a good bloke.

@William1066

…And I thought you were Australian!

I had my suspicions about the spoilered explanation, but thanks for the confirmation anyway because I really wasn’t sure!

[djsojus]

A good winner. Love the mission – although I prefer other missions. But nevertheless a worthy winner.
And thanks @Silvereyes for hosting this championship.

[linux_penguin]

It’s all over
What do I do every day now? An extra 5 minutes of SC8 grinding (wasting my time )? My poor routine!
Great the second best could win though

[MrOchoa]

@Silvereyes Hitman Target Championship when?

Also wanted to thank you for going through all the hassle of setting those Games up, you make HMF a even better and even more alive Community.

This is the spreadsheet I’ve been working on throughout this finale.

And the bar chart race.

Some factoids (all I could come up with for now):

• There were 380 voting turns in total, including 29 participants, with on average 13 votes per person.
• Beldingford Manor got the most upvotes of all levels in this finale, 50, and probably the entire championship. Traditions of the Trade used to hold this record with 46.
• Chasing a Ghost was dead for a total of 41 turns and died on its 3rd turn upon revival.
• World of Tomorrow had a streak of 11 turns near the end where someone upvoted or downvoted it. It could have been 22 turns in a row but Ingvar voted for the other 2 levels and broke the chain.
• The most amount of points a level had at once was Apex Predator with 28.

I’m 99% sure there’s a minor mistake in there as some numbers don’t add up but I am too tired to check for it now.

Thanks for hosting this, Silver.

[Franz]

I love all of that post!

@eydontactdumb

And the bar chart race.

And I adore this because of how it all comes together.
A mission with a race in it winning a race,
The Finish Line’s line being the line in the end.

Seeing Traditions of the Trade valiant struggle does hurt a bit though. You can really see all the hate pushing it down. Poor thing

[Screaming_Meat]

great work, meng.

it’s a solid top ten imo

[Silvereyes]

Thanks for all the data @eydontactdumb, that is both useful and very entertaining. Thanks for everyone for participating and for all the backstabbing and betrayals and everyone insulting everyone else. Truly this is model forum behaviour.

I plan to make an “aftermath” thread in a few hours, once I get back from hanging out with some friends today. Going to copy paste ey’s factoids, and really just a nice sortof monument to all the insanity that happened over the last couple months.

I will do a target championship in the future but I would like to rest the championships for a little bit. Maybe once we hit August I’ll start that new championship up, just have a bit of breathing room.

[Screaming_Meat]

@Silvereyes

everyone insulting everyone else

i never insulted a single one of these fannies.

@Silvereyes

[djsojus]

Waiting for the Maps Championship. Would it be any different?

[Silvereyes]

I don’t have any interest in doing something focused solely on maps. It would pretty just be WOA levels, and I guess Absolution levels too since they have Contracts mode. I don’t see how a map and a mission are inseperable in the first 4 games, with the exception of stuff like 2 missions being set in St Petersburg.

@Silvereyes

You got a point here. But since the newer games are superior anyway it wouldn’t matter.

The Finish Line’s Road to Victory: part 1

@William1066

Miami - The Finish Line [21]+1

William1066 was the first one to upvote the eventual winner. #influencer

@EvilGeniusRo

Miami - The Finish Line [25] +1

EvilGeniusRo didn’t seem to have the same qualms with this mission when it entered the competition as he did near the end of it. #schizophrenic

@Franz

Miami - The Finish Line [26] +1

Miami is the best.
Others must keep their respectful distance.

I supported The Finish Line at the start as well. #sycophant #nostradamus

@Khakiasp

Miami - The Finish Line [26]-2

The first (and only!) person to downvote Miami during the heat. #poorjudgement

@Khakiasp

Miami is a fantastic level, but it’s my least favorite from all the big open starting missions in each game (hawkes bay is a tutorial).

But let’s take pity on him given this disclaimer. #forgiveness

@Franz

Miami needs to be alone at the top. Along with “Traditions of the Trade” and “Invitation to a Party” I hope it makes it straight to the final.

Man that guy is good. Who is that guy? He’s GOOD! #theguyNostradamuswentto

[Beldingford]

Nice stats. It’s a deserved victory alright.

[EvilGeniusRo]

@Franz

EvilGeniusRo didn’t seem to have the same qualms with this mission when it entered the competition as he did near the end of it. #schizophrenic

And ignore Hawke’s Bay?! Ha

The Finish Line’s road to victory Part 2:

@IlikeHitman

@Hichkas

The Finish Line [21] +1
Chasing a Ghost [18] -2

Can I kindly ask you to stop using green and red to highlight the missions you give points?I hope you don’t mind,but it really gives me the impression that you are really trying to prove to the rest of us that your opinion is the right one(and everyone who doesn’t agree with you is wrong) and that’s not OK in my perspective…

Hichkas’ opinion turned out to be the right one after all. #colourfulcharacter

The Finish Line received ZERO downvotes during the quarter and semi-finals. #untouchable

It later continued on this trajectory during the finals:

@eydontactdumb

This pales in comparison with The Finish Line which got its first +1 on the 5th turn but was forgotten until the 147th turn when it got a -2. That’s 141 turns in between where absolutely nothing happened to it.

The person responsible for that -2 is none other than

@William1066

The Finish Line [19] -2

Wait, wasn’t that our #trendsetter?

Pretty cool to see how The Finish Line mostly won because most people simply left it alone.

Next time I won’t let myself be influenced by others
