I beat Amity Airfield by constantly drowning everyone 

"Not the worst furry con I've been to."

Missed opportunity to say "It was perfect. I'd give it a 5/7"

​@@Extramrdo A hilariously prophetic comment, a con just happened in the UK (literally ended yesterday, I didn't go but I have a friend who did) and all the elevators kept breaking.

Furry mosh pit

@@fyrep0w3r it's karma

in fairness, they're a bit preoccupied with not dying to focus on leaving the park

Reminds me of The Sims, where you can keep your pregnant Sims drowning. They can't die when they're pregnant, and every time they're about to give birth, they'll spawn a crib, but then they won't be able to have the child because they're too busy drowning. Then just sell the endless supply of cribs.

@@DanielLCarrierthis is amazing

This perfectly encapsulates RCT in a single sentence. Thank you.

I Have No Rides and I Must Scream

I also like to think that the period of time before the happiness goes up is just them emptying the water out of their lungs

E is for Eternity...

Which is saying something, because Marcel alone has 316 videos that are quite seriously Marcel.

The most Marcel video on the internet so far

Where optimization and drowning collide in the RCT universe, surely we’ll find Marcel… 👌

Lol Marcel cares so much about guest entertainment that he's willing to give each guest their own ride (via mouse) manually. True guest service right there 😆

You beat me by twelve days.

Amity Airtime

If we assume that a tile is 3 by 3 meters then there was a total of 13500 (1.5*3*3*1000) liters of water on that tile. With 3000 guests in the park everyone would have to drink 4.5 liters, or 1.2 gallons, which is actually not impossible.

@@MarcelVos Hopefully all of them can hold it

@@MarcelVos That's a quitter's mentality. They just need to buck up and do it.

@@Gregory_12 why? if they can't they can just drink the 'liquid'

​@@MarcelVosyou could charge £1000 for the toilets after that

and still going through the entrance

@@brichess8227 Look, I have a coupon for half off park entry. I'd be losing money if I didn't.

@@brichess8227 and paying 45€ for the privilege

It'll be okay? Four years of continuous operation and they've got a flawless safety record.

But it's free entry! You can't beat free!

i'm gonna be honest, i don't think the gap between this and other tas stuff is all that significant sure, there's no absurd timing nor precision required for this, but it'd make for an absolutely _mindnumbing_ process of constantly pausing, clicking on tens the hundreds then thousands of tiny pixel men, clicking on a ui button for each, clicking on the water for each, unpausing, then pausing and repeating the process again a few seconds later. and all the while, you have to stay alert and not daydream nor have your focus drawn anywhere else, because inattentiveness could cause forgetting to renew ads or letting guests drown, which could kill a run you just spent hours of building up rsi for in an instant. and you might not even be certain it's dead til the deadline's approaching after several more hours without exaggeration, this sounds like Actual Torture. it's frankly easier for me to imagine someone getting good enough at video games to pull off a tas route of a mario or zelda game in real time than having the mental fortitude and wrist endurance to sit through all this

Fr, anyone who spends their energy complaining about a man using tools is being ridiculous. “Oh why are you using an excavator? You could do this with a shovel, cheater!” Clowns.

@@hi-i-am-atan This would take way longer than a few hours, but also there's nothing stopping you from saving. If you get tired of the monotony, just save and come back later. If you mess up and a guest drowns or you forget to run ads, just go back to your last save. This is thousands of clicks every pause so it's no big issue to dedicate a handful of those clicks to saving. There's no time limit here, you can take as long as you want.

@@calsalitra4689 saves fall under the purview of "tools"

@@hi-i-am-atan Maybe in other games, but in RollerCoaster Tycoon saving halfway a run is not a "tool" more than any other normal game action. The plugin and autoclicker are helpful mods/tools, but just saving isn't.

Hmm, he's got the sadism, but not the FPS killing crazy construction. Still has a ways to go.

@@ccoder4953 What do you mean, he had to half the speed of the autoclicker due to the lag induced by moving thousands of guests simultaneously

@@mambodog5322 True, but he still had a reasonably respectable framerate. And he was only doing one square. Compared to the monstrosities LGIO does and the single digit FPS (or evens SPF), seems a little weak still.

I can see it now: Marcel's boss going to Chris Sawyer and saying: "Umm, boss? Marcel found another exploit"

Depends on how many bits they allow for that number. I can't imagine they went over 32 bits, because that would allow a park rating of -2,147,483,648 (give or take one or two). However, if they allow 64 bit values, you could see up to -9.223 x 10^18, or -9 quintillion.

This is surprisingly complicated. The player can use 9601 sprites in total (in vanilla). Rides, litter, guests, and staff take from this number. Clearly we want zero staff here, so that easy. We also want zero litter since it will cut into the amount of guest we can have, do to it being worth only -4 per. With 3 rides, you can get -500 with crash train unit. Let says this take 5 sprites per to be generous (I cannot find a good number online, but as long as you dont use more then 23 per ride, this is more then you get per lost guest), taking 15 sprites. It worth noting that one guest does need to be on the ride for this to count. Then we need to get another 500 rating by killing 20 guest by drowning AFTER these rides crash (crash rides will not add to the penalty if you have 500 in this category) but before the day is up (since the penalty will decrease at the start of the day). That leaves 9566 sprites fore guests, which we must minus 25 from since they dont count against lost guests. Then we times the result, 9541 by 7, resulting in 66782 negative rating for lost guest. There also 153 positive rating for having 2000 guests, and a -100 rating if you have harder rating enable in the game, so a positive 53. When we add this with the lost guests and the casualties number, we get 67,734 negative rating. The funny thing is, this number would result in a overflow glitch in vanilla rc2 and still end up at -2198 park rating. In open RC2, you can have way more guests (around 64k if memory serves), which will dwarf this number do to lost guest being so impactful.

It isn't a war crime if it doesn't happen during war time. 😎

@@TheHeavyshadow Oh, there's a war, alright: a war against Amity Airfield

that is every single of his video, except it may or may not be amity airfields

this is every single of his videos except it may or may not be amity airfields.

That did get into my mind as well while editing the video. The land height limit in vanilla isn't very high, but it still allows you to pay $32 for a piece that would otherwise cost $117, so I could that would work financially. Unfortunately replacing the path isn't as automatable. You could theoretically use an autohotkey script or something, but that becomes fairly complicated and probably breaks really easily. Drowning is also more fun anyway.

Hello everyone, and welcome to file explorer

I've never seen that and just tried it in RCT1, 2, and Classic, and it didn't happen. So there's probably some very specific set of circumstances needed for it to happen.

@@MarcelVos I'd put like 100 people on a single bridge tile above water, added staff, and removed that single tile, and I would lose more than the 100 guests I drowned. I must still have RCT somewhere, gonna see if I can replicate it this weekend.

​@@MarcelVosI smell a new video idea going on

I'm posting my comment here for the history books. "How many negative guests can we get by drowning?"

Ja

The difference is between abusing intended and unintended mechanics.

They all drown in the very last seconds of the video!
