Hey hey gang, the last few days have been super active. Let's jump right into it!

 

Grooomp has been killing it on dailies lately. This time around, he hit a $1.75mil daily! This was also rank #1! Congrats, Grooomp! This boosted his score and daily average up enough to move him to 14th on the overall ranking. He is now about 11k behind Linkruler. Way to go, Grooomp!

 

Another guy killing some dailies lately is hbix. He got 2nd place on the daily Grooomp got his $1.75mil on. hbix managed a $1.65mil run. Way to go, hbix :D

 

Lastly on the dailies front, we've got 2 new runners with a submissions - BillyBlazes and oAhrio. The scores they submitted were $533k and $255k, respectively. This was done on the same daily which you can view here. Nice to have you guys on the site!

 

Also working on score runs was TheMFC06. He got a $307k PB. Good luck in future runs, MFC :D

 

theZaxanator is back! I had missed hearing about his PBs, so it is awesome to see him taking an interest in some of the challenge runs.  He finished 3 sweet runs, gaining a lot of Mossranking points. He got a 9:48 No Gold run, a 17:45 No Gold Hell run, and a 10:48 Max Hell run. I hope he had some fun trying these runs, because it was fun to watch him get them. Great to have you around again, Zax.

 

We had two sweet Low% PB improvements this week. One came from Sedoxa, and the other came from saturnin55. Sedoxa hit a 3:16, and saturnin managed a 3:30. Sedoxa's run was actually sub 3 pace into 4-3! saturnin also lost a ~3:15 pace run to a troll spawn on Olmec, sadly. I think it is clear both of these guys have a ton of potential here. saturnin's run also counted for his Any% PB, so he gained some nice Mossranking points. Great job, guys.

 

MikeIsMyIke has a friendly competition with saturnin, and looks to beat sat's new Low% PB. For now, Mike managed a No Gold PB - a 10:33. Good luck, Mike!

 

kvec finished his first sub 4 Low% run! He hit a 3:48. This is also his Any% PB, so he gained a lot of Mossranking points. Congrats, kvec :D

 

We have another new face on Mossranking this week - ix. He posted some placeholder runs and a $719k score PB. Great to have you, ix!

 

BumCommando submitted his first Max Hell% run, a 6:58. This removed his final penalty, and has brought him within about 12k points from curticus2. Bum is ranked 8th currently, but 4th overall if only the main 4 categories are considered (Score, Low%, Any%, Hell%), so I know he can climb on the main ranking. Great to see you get some more points, Bum.

 

Lastly, we have an awesome Max Low% run from NightHarvester! He hit a 5:44. This is a very difficult run to even finish. Congrats on getting a sub 6, Night.

 

That's it for now. Keep it up :D
