Once again Krinku stepped up and managed to lock in yet another sweep. Some how even though there were many runners it seems there was one champion to rule them all.[www.twitch.tv] I'd like to note the efforts of Jack, Stuther Fitebringer and Scoobyfoo who did their best against the sheer skill that is Krinku.


Hello. In the past I may have just assumed everyone played like a sniper. Long range shots, low ammo use, pen point accuracy. However it turns out snipers may be in the minority. I think people just need to see the light and embrace the value of head shots while using one of the smallest weapon pools possible. Groups will be based on weapons.

The person who posts the furthest most single player recording of a Nuclear Throne run while being a sniper before November 15th, 2014 will receive a game via steam (note the rules below).

Run Specific Rules:

• Players must start with Chicken.
  
• Players must start with Chicken's default sword.
  
• The use of energy weapons is strictly prohibited.
  
• Each run must end with exactly one bolt weapon equipped (the off weapon cannot be a bolt weapon).
  
• Players cannot select the Rabbit Paw, Back Muscle, or Blood Lust mutations.
  
• Runs must end with Rush Crown active.
  
• Victory is based on distance.

Recording Rules: The run must be done with update 50-51. After the run ends please leave the death screen up for at least 5 seconds so the end level can be confirmed; the distance of the run will be determined by the death screen assuming it appears accurate and will determine who wins. The run must be done on a version of the game that all Nuclear Throne players have access to. The video must also be viewable in the U.S. so that the run can be confirmed; strongly suggest Youtube or Twitch. The videos must be imbedded in responses to this post or have a direct link to the video in the response to this post. Do not put any visual or time related edits, aka cuts, into the video during the duration of the run. Audio edits and voice overs are fine. If you pause or go afk during the run just leave it in the video.
Win Rules: Players can post as many runs as they want as submissions as long as there is no obvious spam; players are also encouraged to post their best runs even if they do not win. If there is a tie I will give the win to the earliest unedited post in response to this; it will be based on when the response is made in steam and not when the video is made. If the post is edited after I have seen the video in an unedited post then it will still be accepted. Previous challenge winners can still win this challenge. Members of the Nuclear Throne Dev Team and people associated with the Dev Team can win the challenge. Whoever wins will have to accept their game through steam by using the friend system. This means Solid will friend the winner to pass over the gift, no you are not required to keep Solid on the friends list after the exchange. The player who does the best in the challenge will be offered a game of Solid's choice. Yes, games other than nuclear throne will be the reward although do not expect anything too new or expensive. Additionally the winner of the challenge will be contacted by Gieron (who runs the wiki); he will ask winners to use his official custom thumbnail (created by Ganil) so they can be featured on the front of the Wiki.
Additional Win Rules: The top run for each category, other than “normal”, will be offered a very minor game or emote of Solid's choice. The standard rules and dates still apply to all runs. The same person can win multiple times.
Dates: The official end time for responses to this post will be at 11:59 pm on Friday, November 14th, 2014 (right before it becomes November 15th, 2014) based on the GMT time zone. However Solid is a stupid American and MAY accept runs that are posted shortly after the posted time. Solid should claim the victor and try to contact them around November 15th, 2014 However that is entirely on the basis that Time Warner Cable remembers to pay their electric bills again.
