A ROCK BAND "Still Alive" CHALLENGE for DP members! (with a tasty prize)

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

In celebration of the PSN Store coming back and updating it's Rock Band catalog yesterday I challenged myself to get a significant global rank on Still Alive.

I am currently (4/25/08) #6 in the world on the PS3 Rock Band Vocals leaderboads for Still Alive with a score of 200,148

I'm pretty sure I'm currently the top DP member for that song, so for the remainder of April and most of May - if any of you would like to challenge me (VOCALS ONLY), here's how I see it happening rules-wise:

• Knock me off my spot on the PS3 Rock Band leaderboard.
  
• Rank with a higher SCORE on the 360 Rock Band leaderboard.
  
• Give me ONE 24 hour grace period (per each person that tops my score) to match/best your score. If I can't do it for ANY reason (including no access to my system), I'll happily concede.
  
• In the event that I top another user's winning score within the 24 hour grace period, and the same user tops me a second time any time up till the contest's end, I'll automatically concede.
  
• You'll have till the Saturday of the May NAVA to try to top my score.
• One winner. One cake. First to the goal.

If you win I will bake you a Weighted Companion Cube cake* and bring it to the following NAVA ...

... for those of you who have sampled my baked treats, I'm sure you'll agree that it's worth the challenge!

Please provide some type of photographic proof of your PSN or XBL account if you beat me. (Or if you're already ranked higher on that track, cough up some proof.)

I'll be out of state till next Thursday so this is a good chance to get me while I have no recourse on matching your score!!!

CURRENT STANDINGS:




KingPong took the lead with 197,060 on the 360 leaderboards on 4/18
Frankie_Says_Relax returned with an eventual score of 200,148 on the PSN leaderboards on 4/19



*YOUR cake (if you win) is not a lie ... but since it hasn't been baked yet, technically - it's still just a theory!

Congratulations. It must have been quite the challenge to beat out DrPoop

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

It was!

Incidentally, Dr. Poop is the "arch enemy" of my alter ego "The Flying Burrito".

Also : updated. I felt that #25 wasn't REALLY a challenge for gamers the calibur of the DP forum, so I went back, took a deep breath, practiced by best vocoder voice, busted out some much more tasty GLaDOS lyrics, and I'm NOW currently ranked #7 with a total score of 196,952.

I'll update the leaderboard photo when the Rock Band servers catch up.



GAME ON KIDS, there's CAKE hanging in the balance!!

I need to get a microphone

I revised/finalized my contest rules in the 1st post.

Man ... for as good as I am on this song in private on the PS3 I really SUCKED at it in public.

I'm not sure if it was the way that the 360 registers vocals (as awful as the PS3's vocal sound is right now, that last patch did wonders for the stability of the vocal "needle") OR the fact that NJ is completely covered in pollen at the moment (I have awful allergies) but I was downright embarrassed at my public showing at this past Saturday's NAVA meeting on "Still Alive".

Just realized that I wasn't using the right OD path on this one, and though I might still not be quite right (plus I suck at squeezing), I played it for the first time since this thread was fresh and just got 201308. Can't get a picture at the moment and that will only be good for 37th on the 360 leaderboards, but it isn't bad.

Update: Make that 201840

Update #2: One last time, now 202912, will be #7 on the 360 leaderboard once it updates. And they actually have the web leaderboards semi-current with DLC, so scores can be verified there. Looks like it would be #1 on the PS3.

In a related note, finally hit #30 on the career leaderboard. Doesn't look like I'll go much farther though, maybe another 2 or 3 spots if I figure 2 songs out.

Nice job man!

I had considered this long dead as it was no longer stickied.

The good news is that Lissette and I are making another EPIC cake product in celebration of the 3-way celebrity Starcade at this month's NAVA, so everybody wins!
