It's time. Vote away  8)
Definitely leaning towards pipe jumping or showing engie jumping again. The toth crew LOVED the engie jumping.

EDIT: I've reset the votes after removing the TAS option.

I'm not sure how I feel about a TAS speedrun video for a donation incentive tbh. It seems weird to have a donation incentive be a video...let alone a video that has really advanced jumping and with 4 (top 4 times) videos you need to watch tiled together. People on the stream won't know what is going on, and I feel like it would be a let down as an incentive. People want to see something happen LIVE for an incentive, not some video. The Tip of the Hats organizers are also skeptical about it.

"lange [5:27 PM] 
I'm personally pretty lukewarm on that, the video TASes during GDQs are always not good
[5:27] 
really boring, slow segments"

I'm hesitant to remove it from the poll.

EDIT: I'm removing TAS from the poll, it just isn't good for a donation incentive.

I wanted to suggest having bid wars for demo pipe jumping or engie jumping, but I am sure engie would win. I feel like the majority of viewers would vote for engie anyway. Engie seems more meme-ish like the whole pootis heavy thing. Mainly because Engie isn't really a jumper class.

If engi jumping ends of being the winner it'd probably be a good idea to do it on an actual engi jumping map like jump_evont by emmet (assuming it isn't too hard).

We could try that. Assuming that it's not a blind race and not very hard

I feel like engie would win, and the toth crew really want to see it again so we might be doing it no matter what.

I could try the Engie map that was mentioned above and try it out, since im not a good engie jumper or very advanced, I feel like that is where most people are in regards to engie jumping, just average or a thing you kind of do but not often.

I think coop jumping would be epic, along with the demo pipe course and engie jumping.

coop is a decent idea, but having a goofy out-of-the-ordinary jump race is what the toth organizers really like. People watch the whole segment for pro jumping and seriousness. They wan't to donate towards something not so professional, and something more fun/funny. This is why they really thought engie jumping was a hit.
