Steamgifts Typing Contest

Wanna show off your typing skills or improve your typing speed? Well here's the event for that.
So how will this work? Participants can have an unlimited number of tries on this, and when you're happy with an attempt you, post the replay in the comments here. To access the replays, go into your history page (if it does not show up then you will need to sign up first, I think) and your replay history will be there, the WPM and accuracy will be recorded there as well. Here is an example of a replay. You can always update your scores when you become faster. Happy typing!

https://play.typeracer.com/

Please submit your scores in this format:

```
-| Username | WPM | Accuracy | [Link](link to replay*)
```

*Your replay link should look something like this: https://data.typeracer.com/pit/result?id=%7Ctr:username%7Cnumber
If your link looks like this: https://data.typeracer.com/pit/result?id=|tr:username|number
then please change both | to %7C since the | will break the table. (Thank you Andrew with a lot of e.)

(ノΘ`)ok.. Unfortunately, English input is a slow alien.

man, I'm bad at this
I never actually learned to type write, I just sit a lot on the PC, so I at least know where everything is ^^

I guess the catch is getting a not terrible one. One of the races I got had a ton of quotes, complete with quotation marks, that messed up my typing hard since I'd try to fix any mistakes I made along the way. ^_^'

Anyway- this is from a much easier one.
(Honestly, the automatic anti-cheat thing the site has was harder to type at a reasonable speed than this. :T )

I have an... acquaintance (who is also a programmer) who would probably get 200, or at least 150 on this. Always looks like he's breaking the keyboard when he's typing. XD

First time using this site, you need to register and verify your email before you can access the histories.

I like the anti-cheat stuff built into the system, the broken image of text I had to type after my race ended was nuts.

| yqmaoski | 102| 98.5% | Link

It was a lucky quote without much punctuation or anything special. Yay for older texts, lol.

It was something specific for meeting certain typing speeds, I took a screenshot just in case someone asked:

I didn't screenshot the test, I think it was from Alice in Wonderland, but there were screwy curved letters in all directions, big broken-glass shaped cracks on the image, I was struggling just to read it, and barely passed the test.

I keep trying to beat it but the texts just keep getting harder each time. Maybe I'll try again on a different day. :c

Omg, thank you so much! Now if only I have a way to change every link that had | to %7C all at once...

Cut and paste into Notepad, use Find and Replace (Ctrl+H or from the menu).

Or, if you copy the original link from the address bar or right-click, it'll paste it encoded automatically.

That's what I just did! Before you were even saying it. :o
It still takes too much time and effort though, but oh well.

Holy hell, i actually use a typewriter as i'm a medic, but these little histories and the fact they are in english mess up my typing, anyway, this helped me realize i have a bad keyboard...

Only managed something like 33 WPM.

That was my best out of 25 attempts, trying as hard as I could. On my fourth attempt in French, I was easily able to do 73 and 98.3% without effort, which is a lot harder to type but a lot more natural for my fingers. :)

Some of those passages are really hard. The crazy punctuation and proper nouns really kill it. But I managed to break triple digits on one of the easier ones

The site wants an incredible amount of personal information for a one-off I'm not likely to use again. I played ten races as a named guest, here's a screenshot of my best. It's fine if you don't count it. Normally I'm around 80-85 but I got a really easy passage here. https://i.imgur.com/SH3GwAq.png

Well, you are not forced to use real information. Only actual information that needed is your email.
