Hola, gonna hop right into it today.
The two new faces are santabrake and Kazzy. santabrake has been consistently playing dailies ever since January 2014! He joined with a highscore PB of $1.1mil. Kazzy also got the game in early 2014 (in March). She recently has been super motivated to play, and is very active in Twitch chats. Welcome to the site, santa and Kazzy! 
HecticXXX9001 nailed a 2:59.983 Low% run with a solid Olmec fight! He is now motivated to try some of the other categories! He will skyrocket up the ranks if he just completes some of them, so it should be quite exciting to watch. He's also been getting near a huge score PB, so it will be interesting to see how that goes, as well. 
BumCommando, as often is the case, makes a sudden appearance to hit a crazy run. This time, he took his All Journal Entries WR under 40 minutes! His final time was a 36:50.029. This was an improvement of just over 3 minutes. Great job, Bum! 
falafel_raptor got a sub 3:20 Low% run, a 3:18. He's been on pace for better but this time is already looking great. Like Hectic, Raptor has been super close to an insane score PB. He's even been into hell on a couple 3m+ pace runs so far. His consistency in getting through the tricky robot stuff makes me think that he will get that 3m run sometime in the near future. Good luck in whatever runs you do next, Raptor!
Buddy7heElf nailed a crazy Low% run, a 2:47! He's been trolled out of similar runs in late temple and even on Olmec, so it was great to see one work out. With this run, he is not far from 900k total Mossranking points, as well.
meowmixmix got in on some of the Low% action, and also kept it no gold. He nailed a super impressive 3:36! This time is really getting low now. It is very close in this category to some great runners like twigglefly and Linkruler, and even beat Grooomp! Another solid run Meow got was a 6:28 Hell% run! I knew when he finished a speedlunky one of this it would be substantially below 8 minutes! Great runs, Meow.
Patdog56 got in on all the insane Low% action, as well. He nailed a 3:08! What a week for Low%! His run had about a 5-7s timeloss on Olmec. It is safe to say Pat is capable of breaking that 3 minute berrier! I had been watching Pat whenever he streamed, and there was a big increase in his skill the last several times he played compared to a few months ago. He also got a $1.42mil daily on the August 30th Daily. This pushed his daily average up to $1.29mil. Really great job, Pat! 
More on the score run side of things, The Mad Murf hit a 755k run! Getting better, Murf! Looks like your next PB will be over a million! Good luck.
Another score run came from MrEikono. He hit a $553k run. nice job getting over 500k, Eikono!
Saibot tackled a run that had given him some grief in the past: All Shortcuts + Olmec. He had hardly any trouble this time around though, as his overall skill has greatly increased since he last attempted the run. He nailed a 21:50 already! Nice job, Sai.
Another guy who took on some All Shortcuts + Olmec runs was Khold. He nailed a 24:44 run with a 22:02 key split. Khold also got a new daily highscore! He nailed an $875k run on the August 30th daily. His daily average is now just under 500k. Solid runs, Khold!
I (Kinnijup) got a new No Gold WR. I hit a 1:57.324. This was a 3 second improvement over the previous WR. Some runners have lost faster runs of this late into the temple, so there is still some room. I was really happy to get it under 2 minutes, though.
Resident daily scouter hbix completed Max Low%! He finished a 12:41. He has lost much faster runs late, but the run is so hard to simply finish that this in itself is impressive. He also nailed his first sub 4 Low% run! He got a 3:57. Another solid run he did was a $1.95mil score run on the August 28th Daily. This was his 2nd best daily ever, and enough to bring his daily average all the way up to $1.722mil. Lastly, he got a solid 6:55 Low% No Gold run! It is great to see hbix tackling the last few challenge runs for points and improving his times on them, as it was clear to me he had the skill to earn a higher overall rank if he tried. Great job, hbix!
Mazerak is getting really close to the 3 minute berrier in an Any% run. He got a 3:17! He also finished a 9:01 Hell% PB (also Big Money). 
Low% WR holder curticus2 did a really cool eggplant challenge, the first of its kind - Basejump Eggplant%. He did it in 34:41. 
saturnin55 got in on some of the eggplant action, and got a 12:40 Olmec Failplant run. Take that, Olmec!
More Olmec punishment was delivered by ix. He got a 7:14 Draining Olmec run. :D
Finally, ShinGraywords hit a Max Any% PB. He got a 5:43. Shin has been super close to a Low% PB for quite a bit now. The temple has just not been kind enough yet. He's hitting other PBs consistently though, and will likely improve Low% soon. Good luck and good job, Shin. 
That's all for now,
- Kinni
