The 1st of June Society

Famine · Jan 22, 2006

This thread - and indeed club - is devoted to those of us stupid enough to not just be content with picking up a game and playing it, but to setting rules about how we play it.

The thread - and indeed club - is named for the date shown at the completion of the absolute bare minimum time A-spec only game, which I have literally just completed - the 1st of June in Year 3 (or day 791).

To claim membership of this group, like Club 229 one must simply provide a screenshot of your 100% game showing one of three things:

100% in the minimum time possible (which I believe to be day 774/15th May Year 3, as the S-licence is not required for 100%, removing 16 track days and one prize car day)
100% A-Spec only in the minimum time possible (which I believe to be day 791/1st June)
100% and all-gold licences in the minimum time possible (which ought to be day 835/15th July Year 3, as you require six extra days for IB/IA/S licence prize cars and 38 extra days for B/A licence AND prize cars, the cars you are awarded making no real difference to the cars you must buy)

For reference I had to buy:
Alfa Romeo - Any GTA (I used the 147)
Aston Martin - Any (I used the DB9)
Audi TT - Any (I used the 1.8T)
Audi A3/S3 - Any (I used the S3)
BMW 1 Series
Chrysler Crossfire
Daihatsu Copen
Daihatsu Midget
Honda Civic - Any (I used a Type-R, so that I could also use it for the Type-R race, though you are awarded a couple of NSX-Rs which should do the job too)
Isuzu - Any (I used a Piazza)
Lotus Elise - Any (I used a Sport 190)
Mazda MX-5 - Any (I used a 1.8RS)
Mercedes SL - Any (I used an SL500)
MG - Any (I used an MGF '97)
Mini - Any (I used a Cooper S)
Mitsubishi Mirage - Any (I used a Cyborg ZR)
Nissan Micra - Any (I used a March G#)
Opel Speedster - Any (I used a Turbo)
Peugeot 206 - Any (I used a 206 RC)
Renault Clio - Any (I used a Clio Sport V6)
Renault Megane - Any (I used the IDE Coupe)
Saleen S7
Shelby Cobra
Subaru 360
Suzuki K - Any (I used a Wagon R RR)
Toyota Altezza - Any (I used a Lexus IS200)
Toyota Yaris - Any (I used an F)
Triumph Spitfire
TVR - Any (I used a Griffith 500)
VW Beetle - Any (I used a 2.0)
VW Lupo/GTi (I used a Lupo GTi... If going for all-golds you'll get a Lupo on your Domestic B licence, but will still need any VW GTi)
Sport Truck - Any (I used a Toyota Tacoma)

Anyway, enough from me. I'm all excited because I've finished the minimum time all A-spec game... Pictures below:

Members
Famine 22/1/06 - 791 day, minimum A-spec only
jbrennan 8/6/06 - 774 day, absolute minimum

Famine, you are mad. Dedicated, but mad.

Jealousy aside, thats quite an accomplishment 👍.

Famine · Jan 22, 2006

I honestly can't believe how tired I am..!

I left a single TVR race, at Laguna Seca, for last, so that I only had a short, and enjoyable, race to finish off with, rather than run the risk of a power cut mid-endurance race...

I forgot to add that my Excel file tells me it took me 202 hours 20'16.694 in total, though that excludes 5 races which either had too much wallbanging for my liking (cough Grand Canyon cough) or I simply forgot to record the time of.

Master_Yoda · Jan 22, 2006

FREAK! but amazing job Famine.👍

Kent · Jan 22, 2006

Indeed, very nice work.

If I could post a screen of my 100% I would, but I can't.

Don't have the capability to do so.

If I could post my game file itself that might be worth doing but even that is hard to do since the game files are over 1mb and the GTP will not host that as an attachment.

Oh well, just another club that I can't be in.

In any case, you've still done a great job with that game Famine.

You're own personal game data, tons of money, 100%, and no B-spec miles. :bowdown:

Very nice indeed. :cheers:

Sjenk · Jan 22, 2006

Hehe, nice achievement

I need to find enough motivation to continue my GT4 adventure, but so far I haven't found it yet (and I'm below 100% win ratio, so I'm off already

)

Kent, can't you upload the files to http://www.yousendit.com/ and send it to Famine's emailadress? That would be a possibility right?

X-Othermic · Jan 22, 2006

Famine, you are the craziest person i have ever known of. Are you an insomniac?

G-T-4-Fan · Jan 22, 2006

If I see it correctly, you bought 32 cars for this right?

Uncle Harry · Jan 22, 2006

Well done Famine.
The only thing for you to do now is a game save like that with 100,000 A spec points.
I have started on a similar game save, All licenses completed and up to mission 14 completed but have ignored it for the 100,000 points quest.
Once again congrats.

Kent · Jan 22, 2006

That's a good idea Sjenk.

However, after looking at the details for this society I realize that I'm not even elligable.

Sure I've got 100%, but in the fewest possible days? :lol:

Nope, not even close.

All's good though, this is an excellent idea that will last for some time to come.

Remember how GT3 got to be towards the end of its life?
People would come up with ways to beat the game that were just insane... This should prove to be just like that.

After some time we will probably see a whole new group of people start in on playig the game over again and a challenge like this is just what people will be looking for.

If Old Geezer were still around I am sure he would end up trying something like this (at some point in time).

Anyway, still in awe of the accomplishment famine. 👍
I am sure you had to put some serious effort into this idea. :bowdown:

DuckRacer · Jan 22, 2006

*Looks at win percentage*

How many times did you press the reset button? :crazy:

Anyway, great work, Famine. I probably couldn't go 15% into the game without B-spec. :guilty:

FastEddie12 · Jan 22, 2006

Famine, I can't help thinking you take this game WAY too seriously....

But then, my trouble is, I'm too lazy to be a proper geek. I just like the image...

More power to your elbow! :cheers:

SRV2LOW4ME · Jan 23, 2006

Has a girl ever asked if you love her, and you responded "I am not programmed to love, I AM A MACHINE!!!" leaving her in standing there in tears?

I'd try to join the club, but i'm afraid of failure...d'oh

kennythebomb · Jan 23, 2006

I'm speechless.

Yep you are right, it's not that hard to give people inspiration for a game again. Now I read this thread again I think this is the first timeI concidered getting to 100% in the game. This thread is very motivating at least.

If this is the start of me completing the game with very much fun I gotta say thanks famine for showing that GT4's challenges ARE fun and nice to do:tup:💡

DeLoreanBrown · Jan 23, 2006

Near 45,000 A-spec points and 100% win ratio !

That is Roy Castle, mapped out and tacked to the board !

Well done man have 11X :cheers:

Cosmic · Jan 23, 2006

Awesome Famine 👍
Now, go get some rest

BaronCAD · Jan 23, 2006

Famine,
I bow to your greatness :bowdown:

100% in 791 days incredible!
WELL DONE

Appie · Jan 23, 2006

you have 100% win ratio

how :confused:

G.T · Jan 23, 2006

Wow, great achievement, Famine!

Like usual...

Scaff · Jan 23, 2006

appie17
you have 100% win ratio

how

Quite simply because he's Famine and Famine is just a mad Bas**rd.

@Famine Deeply in awe of this, I just far to bogged down in vehicle testing to even get close to something like this. Amazing.

There you go, dancing bananas and a band, just for you.

Regards

Scaff

gt_masta · Jan 23, 2006

Great job, Famine. :cheers:

But I think you'll be the only member of your very select club for some time.

MagpieRacer · Jan 24, 2006

Unless i manage to get that achievment...Well someones gotta try

See ya in 200 hours

B_B_B · Jan 24, 2006

i waste too much time buying up used cars to make that happen

nurburgring · Jan 24, 2006

Congratulations, you, mad boy! :dunce:

I'm not even sure I will have 100% one day...

SimRaceDriver · Jan 26, 2006

OM:censored:G! Those stats are just freaking off the wall!

Then again, looking at those stats, I just experienced an epiphany...which is I need to stop playing this game because I'll never accomplish a feat of this magnitude!

Awesome work there Famine!

NOTE: You know you've got respect when other members start using your 'font color'! hehehe!

daan · Jan 26, 2006

SimRaceDriver
Awesome work there Famine!

NOTE: You know you've got respect when other members start using your 'font color'! hehehe!

Sjenk · Jan 26, 2006

daan
But Famine doesn't use purple!

(ok, 99.99% of the time then
