The Shin, ix, and hbix rivalry...
Posted by Kinnijup on August 8th, 2016 @01:56PM
Hey hey gang. I've got about 15 individual runs to go over today, counting for roughly 18 categories. Let's hop into it! 
First up, I thought I would bring some attention to how close ShinGraywords, hbix, and ix are on the main ranking. They are ranked 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, respectively, and are separated by less than 3k total points! They are all very active, so it should be really neat to follow them as they reach the top 20.
Let's go over their PBs.
ShinGraywords got six different PBs: 13:05 Haunted Max Hell, 1:29 Tutorial%, 25:27 All Shortcuts + Olmec with a 22:50 key split, 6:17 Max Any%, and a sweet 9:42 Max Low%! The Max Low% run had a killer Olmec fight, and gained him the most points.
hbix cleared up some of his penalties. He got a 7:41 No Gold (also Low%), an 11:49 Big Money, a 6:08 Max Any%, and an 11:45 Max Hell! These PBs are already looking decent. hbix went from 30th place on the main ranking all the way up to 23rd! This is really a giant leap for someone already in the top 30!
The last of these three runners, ix submitted a 28:22 All Shortcuts + Olmec run with a 26:01 key split. He also tried his hand at a couple of meme runs: a 1:39 Tutorial% run and an 8:48 Draining Olmec run.
Next up, we saw tickbite submitting an older run. He added a $689k daily high score PB from the April 2nd Daily. Nice, tick! 
The top 10 saw a bit of activity this weekend, too. Buddy7heElf got a 2:03 Any% PB, and I (Kinnijup) got a 4:21 Max Hell run done. Buddy's run was done with jetpack + teleporter but without a compass! In my experience, the compass is super useful in keeping this run fast, and I think most people would agree. Buddy can get this under 2 if the seed cooperates. My Max Hell run was also a new record by just over 3 seconds, woo!
Mazerak got a bangin' $1.77mil run on the August 8th Daily. This was good enough for 5th place in his top 10, and improved his daily average to $1.712mil. Nice!
Last but not least, The Max Murf submitted an Any% run - a 6:43. Looking good, Murf. 
That's all for now,
