Just spent half an hour getting the ball: http://i.imgur.com/iNavwo1.png
And then THE GAME CRASHED: http://i.imgur.com/ZZA1sZP.png
Could I TAS? This super fast clicking thing is driving me crazy. I'm pretty sure the effect is the same and doing it by hand TAKES MUCH MORE TIME!

EDIT: Well, now it's my turn to rage quit.
By the way, if you want to try it, you can build two or four or more common goo balls at the beginning which will make speed clicking a bit shorter. But it needs more times to detach your extra strands. Luckily no extra balloons will be harmed during this process.

Looks like you hit a timebug after a balloon disappeared. Nice strategy though:-)

You can upload it via FTP or upload it to Dropbox and give a link.

I didn't want to bother with those things; I thought straight from the site would be simpler.

Could I TAS?

Yes, you could do it as a demonstration, but you wouldn't be given the record.

@nav, seeing as this site is all messed up again, and davidc probably wont get round to fixing it for at least 3 years; what you could do is upload your addin to this file sharing site and give us the link (just like you would with pics). It would save us having to wait any longer.

Looks easy enough. I'll try it.

About the level, I actually intended to be out late. It was supposed to be out after APc3 launches. AP tested it about a month ago and wanted to publish it but I said no.
But since you want it that bad, here it is. Its a small level, no change in images, and really easy to beat. I'm thinking of making an extended version which would make OCD harder.

I always thought this should be a bonus level in your Whack Pack. Very easy to play, just to show a trick, hope you like it. (I can't actually test the link if its okay or not as my computer can't download anything for some reason.) You need MOM done to finish the level.

Edit: New record! I got Tumbler 14 second OCD in video. I do not know how I am going to post this on youtube as I can't login.

First languages is English but still needs Google Translate? Kinda weird.

I'm trying to get 44 or more in Burning man but ......

I'll try Burning man too, see if I can get more.

Peter, why didn't edit the record chart? I think the ones Marius gave is the last info we can get.

Anyone know how to contact Jairo? He got 32 seconds in OOS and if we figure it out who did it another 2 records will be out.

@naveed_rizvi
I believe he meant that the first language is not English. And congratulations!
By the way, why can't you log in? Which country are you? Is YouTube banned there?

EDIT: I just went to page 24 and found this. So you can try to send the video to Peter B and make him upload the video to wogfan for you.

Oh no. I just cleared my cookies and google is giving me an error on enabling them. I followed what they told and whats written on the internet but still can't login. I'll have a repair man come and fix it. (I can watch videos freely now as its not banned anymore.)

Have you tried using another computer or browser? If there's really something wrong with your computer/browser, switching to another will fix the problem.

EDIT:

Everything works fine on my sister's laptop. Theres just something wrong with my computer.

Try a different browser, perhaps?

Nope doesn't work.

A little update -

Chain 39b: still unsure. There's an early leaderboard (30 Oct 08) showing a Tao having 39 (way before Marius's profile), but that could be a cheat like the one in front with 107!
Marius mentions here (25 Nov 08) that the chain in Chain can be broken.

@Marius, you never gave a date for that email from Macatttack, what was it?

To add to the confusion, this vid by wogfan says its Kopa's strat.

Welcoming unit 92b: Thinking about it, Tairs sig is a good indication of round about the time it was done. His sig first mentions it on 19 Oct 08; thats before Marius's profile. But, I dont think Tair set it first because of what 'liq3' says here, "I was first", and no one challenges him.

Something weird I've notived is that the conversation doesnt make sense going from page 13 to 14. On 13 he finishes a reply, then on 14 he does another reply to something never said! And the answer he says is clearly to do with WU saying he'll happily match it, which only gives more proof that he wasnt first.

I got nothing new on the rest.

@nav, you were right about the level being small and easy. I never actually knew about the trick, but it was quite easy to figure out though. Are you working on any other levels?
Congrats on the new record. We can just wait until your computers fixed; there's no rush.

I'll update the chart soon. I was just hanging on in case I found any revealing info.

@Marius (again), do you still have a copy of the early beta version(s)? - the one with the different mapworldview icons. It would be good if you could share it/them with us.

I finally found when 城市野生动物 (Urban Wild Animal, I think Google Translate does well on this one) set his Chain 39 balls record!
It's 10/27/2008 10:46 UTC!
Here's the topic: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/493970819
Search for 2008-10-27 18:46 if you can't find it.
Here's his screenshot if you can't see it:

桃太郎3 (Momotaro 3) got 30 balls first (before 10/25/2008 14:43 UTC) and he said he didn't know how to get 39 balls at 10/27/2008 13:24 UTC after seeing 39 balls screenshot.

EDIT: On this topic: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/493933942
I found that 城市野生动物 (Urban Wild Animal)'s name on World of Goo Leaderboard is TAO.
And 桃太郎3 (Momotaro 3)'s name is probably wii.
Does anyone remember them now?

城市野生动物 is urban wild animal......

Also,there are much tie is deleted by dwerdwer and me. So you may not find more.

The trick can actually work on MOM. There is a video 4 years ago showing it and I thought of making it.

I'm not working on any levels at the moment, just seeing which OCD time I should go for next.

I'll try to upload in 3-4 days. I kinda like how you updated the chart saying I got Tumbler 14 seconds OCD even though I didn't give any proof yet.

I think the ones with different mapworldview can be downloaded from 2DBoy
as they gave the links in The World (of Goo) Wasn’t Built In a Day.

So I guess chain's gone. Also I talked with Pavke and he said he is very sure dwerdwer did Tumbler 36 gooball.

I'm on a roll here.

I'll try to get it on video. (Also, for structure to reach pipe I just made it go a bit higher and detached the balloons. It had fallen so quickly it looked awesome. )

@wogfan
Yes. I figured that out a long time ago.

@naveed_rizvi
No. I've played all 7 beta builds and @Marius's World of Goo is better than those ones.

I got 15 seconds in video. Just got to wait for youtube.

Good find Mygod; its a good job we've got a Chinese person here.
城市野生动物 might just be the holder then, seeing as thats the earliest known proof and dwer thought it was him.

I talked with Pavke and he said he is very sure dwerdwer did Tumbler 36 gooball.

I'll add him then.

I found @dwerdwer uploaded Tumbler 36 balls video on 12/01/2008 and in this video the extra gooballs is +1 so that's probably when he first got it. In the description, he also said that he was the first in the world.
Interestingly, he didn't whack the structure. He just sent all the goo balls to the pipe before the structure fell down.

EDIT: By the way, maybe it's easier to get Tumbler 38 balls with super fast clicking bug?

Good luck clicking the ivy.

Just asked @dwerdwer and he said he wasn't the first one to get 36 balls and the first in the world meant the fastest instead of earliest.

Just had a look in profiles. Marius got 36 before dwerdwer.

Edit:

How will I send the video to peter?

I uploaded the videos using a laptop.

Tumbler OCD 14 seconds

And Fly Away Little Ones OCD 15 seconds

(If you looks closely I uploaded another video but didn't want to mention it here.)
