Amazingly lucky to be among the first to see this new feature.. For once I can get in on the highscore list.. ~D
It's official, the .Org is trying to get me fired. ~D
There are a few options apart from just playing games. You should have noticed the champ award in your profile, that's only enabled for this forum. It's possible to restrict it to this topic only, I'm waiting for some feedback about this. It's not a good idea to show it in all forums, it's a fun extra.
There are also automated reset tools for the highscores (hours, days, months) and you can even set a few things yourself in Your Settings such as receiving arcade PM.
There are a lot of other settings and add-ons, so arcade can change.
Have fun.

ugh i hate my family, i'm sitting here playing tetris and then my little fat whiny brother walks over and starts whining about how that (tetris) puts viruses on the computer, after ten minutes of whining and saying i'm gonna destroy our computer he conviced my mom to join in. so while there both raggin on me i'm dominating at tetris(yay) and when i refuse to stop playing they threaten to ground me so i said its not gonna give any viruses, they argued and i said prove it does. i get off she runs a virus scan and lord behold...nothing. so suddenly they decide its does'nt put viruses on but does load other crap onto the computer, once again i say prove it so they do this sweep thing to bring up all the temporary files, altrogether it takes up about 12,000 gigabytes of space and scream at me for a while (still can't prove it was me).
so i just need to know, do those games hurt the computer?
and for all you with SOB little brothers, i will ease your heart by saying that he will be dealt with when my parents are not home.

I think we have a problem with the High Score save code. I opened 2 separate windows, first "5 Miles to Go", then "Hexxagon". I played "5 Miles" first, and got a personal best, but when it showed the high scores, it was for Hexxagon. The logging may be getting confused here (is it cookie driven?). Apologies to Weebeast for the Hexxagon knock off. Can we get a deletion of my score, along with a fix?

I've been playing the balloon bomber game, which I found quite amusing. But I don't really understand how you can manage to get 400000+ points in this game. I had a very nice run yesterday, but when I got to 250000 (or something) the game stopped (there was no continue button). :cry: (I felt that I could have gone on for some time). Is it correct that there are just 4 levels? If so, that would be a pity.

As for Beirut...perhaps you shoud look at the scores on th Alien Terminator Game. I have 40k+, while of the 17 others, only one has broken 20k! (AlexTPG at 22k). (Which was kind of weird, since it was my first time ever).
And on the snowboarding Santa game, I have 120+, while the closest is 82! Or the cheese hunt game, where I have 5.4k, and my nearest competitor has 3.1k!
You did good on the asteroids game, but true lordship is revealed through multiple talents! Even if I am the currently disposed King.

Used hot bombs to do most of the work, and then use all your remaining bombs to kill those 1000 point birds.

I see. So there are only four levels. Gotta do better then. :grin2:
Tosa, can I make another request?
I'm current champ on Street Racer (174 pts) and there are three difficulties. But the scores do not adjust for each difficulty hence the Easy difficulty - which is ridiculously easy - always get the high points.
So is there a way to terminate the Easy and Medium difficulty then clean the slate and just enable only Hard difficulty so the scoring is faithful and the game remain challenging as well?
Unfortunately not Quietus. That's to say, it is possible to edit the Flash, but I can't do that.

Not ten hours straight. I just had it in the background for ten hours. After a while it became self-sustaining; I'd just start a new level and my archers would kill off all the enemies and my craftsmen would repair any damage done very quickly.

Morning all.
A vote was held in the Watchtower, the ballots were counted, and ZainDustin is now the Arcade Manager.
ZD will organize tournaments, do some maintenance work with scores, and generally help to spark interest in the arcade.
So, offer any suggestions to ZD, try to help out, and most of all just play and have fun. :bow:
Of course all posts and threads in The Frontroom pertaining to the arcade fall under the rules of BKS's Kingdom of Peace and Love and BKS and I will moderate content as before.
Please continue to use this thread for all arcade posts.
Hey everyone!
I am so happy to be in the chair I'm in today. I'd like to thank the public for supporting my votes (although five people voted no... :angry:) :laugh4:. I have a few ideas :idea2:. My first order of business is to set up 5 tournaments from the 5 most popular games in the Arcade. As I see it, the most popular games are Tetris, Snake, Asteroids, Typing Test, and Arkanoid. So, if you would like to participate in these tournaments, just PM ZainDustin, and I will add you to my list. Once I receive 8 participants for a certain Tournament, I will start it, and PM you so that you know that you need to start playing the game(s) you signed up for. I'll have you all know that I have signed up for all 5 tournaments already, so there are 7 more open slots per game.
Have fun, and be decisive!
Thank you, and have a great day. :bow:
-ZainDustin
Zalmoxis has informed me that he would like to participate in the Snake tournament. So we have 6 open spots there, and 7 more in the other four tournaments. Come on people!
-ZainDustin
What exactly is a tournament? How does it work?
What exactly is a tournament? How does it work?
Simply it's a tournament between many people to play to see who's the best at the game.
It's set up so that 8, 4, or 2 people sign up for the tournament. Then a map (the way graphs work, so that people get eliminated every round, and it simplifies down to two people.) You play the game three times, and the best score is the one used. If your score is better then the person you're paired up with, they get eliminated and you go on to the next round.
It's a tournament, plain and simple.
Aw89 has signed up for the Tetris tournament!

Ok. You can sign me up on the Arkanoid, Snake and Asteroid tournaments. :bow:

Edit: What happened to the leaderboard?
Hey guys, the upgrade of the arcade made it so you can set up tournaments by youself, and people sign up for it as they see it. So, if you signed up for one of the tournaments, go to the arcade and sign up for them.

We're missing one person for Asteroids, but I already have a opponent, so do I wait or play or simply continue drinking Black Russians?

04-07-2006, 13:15
Well, I hope I've given you a target to aim at. One thing though: I've played twice in the 2nd round, although it's only reporting one of those attempts (i.e. it says I have two more attempts when I should only have one). A bug perhaps?
Yeah, a bug. But, something I can't fix. Go ahead and play on.

Btw, somebody please join the Asteroid and Arkanoid tournaments. :bow:
Zain, you must do something about these ads during arcade games. They pop up after 2 min or so of loading the game page and take your control away. That's why you'll see alot of 4000 scores in Tetris.
I noticed that, I don't know how to remove them. I will consult KukriKhan about them.

Seconds that.
Haha, don't worry about that right now. I'm going to set up a poll in a new thread with 30 of the more popular games, and people will vote on which games they want to be played. Is the ad thing still there?

Um, I've been playing crab volleyball, and there is a situation where the ball has landed on the other side, but the other crab is not moving. I'm up to 2000 points so far, but I can't log it...

Is there some way to get more than 1100 points for a jump in BMX tricks? Or do you just have to get that for every jump.
You get 2,200 or so for an invert, superman, grind (on a railing), and smooth landing (landing with bike parallel to the incline of ramp, if there is one).

About that score of yours Beirut, I'm curious as to how you play the game.
Do you take on the waves and waves of asteroids, or do you just leave a few little asteroids milling about, and wait for the spaceships to arrive over and over again?
None the less, congragulations.
Thanks.
Your good graces shame my score. :bow:

There's no profit in waiting for the spaceships. Tried it, doesn't work. (But there are tricks to dealing with them.) The points are in the rocks. ~;)
