Vega		Cirenco held this gold for over a year, and in the last few weeks, 3 players have beat it and it's not because of a new trick or shortcut. I have never seen a Standard gold get pushed past bronze so quickly!
PMD		I think there has been a rush on the Standard Pack. Everyone has been working on the two packs that came out basically at the same time and now that they are sick of those, they went back to Standard. I think everyone that went back to it has really improved their skills since they last tried it. I know I hadn't played it for probably 6 months and I definitely improved some in that time. As for getting pushed out of bronze, I had Cloudwalk and within 10 days Cirenco took it and that set off a frenzy that pushed me to 4th in really short order (MF just passed me to put me in 5th). I haven't even tried it since Cirenco passed me. Of the 4 Golds I have had on Standard, I only have one left (I have only tried to reclaim the one) Vertical Avenue - Cirenco (reclaimed) Touch Bricks - Smalls Cloudwalk - Cirenco The Well - Shane
mike flips		There were other levels tooo... Vanilla Sky we pushed the gold down really fast. I took Sawtooth which was long standing and now im in 6th. In terms of the rush, I just never really tried too hard in the standard levels, when i got ranks 8-12 i felt that since it was standard, that was a good rank. Now, I am attempting to improve my slower times and i find when i put in the effort, i can get much faster. The improvement in my play is also a factor but i think the motivation comes more from the fact that people want the faster times now and are putting in the effort needed for a medal. Still i feel i could still improve cloudwalk and malysz but i dont think it is worth the many hours just for 1-2 ranks, and the gold would be too much work (11000 tries ) And since we are naming lost golds... Sawtooth, Wheel Insider, Golden Gate (reclaimed and lost), U jump (i tied gold, never had medal but still had gold time), Sawtooth, Pipe universe... Of my current golds i have lost and had to reclaim 3 of them
Henoch		Gee Mike, your lowest rank is still in top 15 . Three of your lowest rank is equisplateral (top 9 times in a semi bottle game), shelf and bottle (REAL BOTTLE game). The other is RSP2 (still top 8 times), batman begins (11), blizzard (top 11 times), catapult (12), puzzle (13) and tricky (top 13 times) And also your total points has become 18175 and that's equal to average 111.50 only left a little space for improvement because the total possible point is 19723 and that's mean you have to get all the gold (or gold time) in BOD.
mike flips		Well, now i feel a whole lot better I know i can improve most of those levels, just haven't really gotten around to it yet. But thanks for pointing that out Henoch.
