The Arcade...

[Monarch]

Hey, I just 'discovered' (IE. got addicted to) the arcade.

Well anyway I'm getting 150+ quite alot (my best, 191, put me second). But I could be getting loadsa results on the second page, as could many others, but we're only allowed 1 result per game. Which is kinda annoying since if I was a totally flukey 'one round wonder' and pretty accidently got top of a leaderboard then I'd look like I was the best, however the people who constantly are achieving good scores only look 'ok'.

So perhaps we could have five results each per game or something? If thats possible.


Oh and Quietus, if it's the last thing I do I'm so gunna beat your score

lol....

Truly the Arcade is a place where experience is of necessity and determination is the only path to success. You must continue playing the games until you are good enough to claim the prize of 1st place...

Only results in the top ten count towards your score. Allowing people to have 5 scores in the top ten could mess things up...there are some people who would have the top five spots for each game.

I just checked after not playing there for a couple months. There's still no one within a 100 points of my score. Kind of embarrassing lol

There's still no one within 250,000 points of my score.

Funny, I don't feel embarrassed about it at all. Asteroids King of the Org.

I believe there is a special cushion and cream that you can use for 'roids...

Sounds soothing. But it better be a big cushion and a big jar o' cream because I've got 364,810 'roids to deal with!

"C'mon 'roids, I'll Prep H you back home to momma. C'mon, come and get some."

Maybe the new punishment should be:

1 application of cream per warning point.

*grin* Everyone wants a piece of the Q!

[aw89]

When there is a thread about the arcade, HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET 2 000 000 POINTS IN TETRIS THEROTHER?!
I'll stop screaming now, its just driving me, and the other people who need to raise their top scores by 100-300% mad! How? *Cries*

Cheats? You have to suspect sometimes....

I've been wondering this myself. It would take me several days to top his score, then he would get it back within a day, so he has skills. But his current score can't be real, just as my score in Hexxagon isn't real (I've asked for this to be removed, it's due to a bug in the arcade scoring system).

With practice. A whole lot of practice. Starting at level 10 helps a lot though, as you don't have to crunch through the boring lower levels. By the time you are up to level 30+, even single lines bring in 000s.

And yes, the score is accurate.

I was wondering about that. I tried starting at higher levels, but couldn't really tell if it affected my score that much (never started at 10 though). The old, old Tetris (8088 version) used to take this into account, and would not increase the level number until you reached the levelx10 number of lines. So you could rack up lots of points if you were comfortable at a high level (I think I used to start at 6-7 back then). This one jumps a level every ten lines, regardless of your starting level. I'm sure there is a sweet spot there somewhere. The only way I managed the score I got was to start at level 4 and build towers until I could get 4 lines at a time. Props, apparently, are due.

Goals for life: 1. beat Therothers highscore.

2. Best Trond at a major math test.

3. Die happily.

Hey guys, in commenting Therother's psycho score on Tetris, Congrats! I've found myself basically conquering a lot of the arcade, and would like some competition. I'm not good at Tetris or Asteroids, and I'm working on the Bowling score at the moment... Plus, I've got 12 first place scores...

TosaInu never seems to be on lately.... And there are a few scores that need to be deleted.

Hi I think the arcade messes up if you have over one window open. I got 800 for one game (forgot what) and it somehow thought that I got it for typing test, and I got an impossible 800 for typing test. So if an admin has any spare time to delete that score, (and the Donkey Kong one) then I'd appreciate it. I don't want to be seen as unfair.

Beach bobbing Bob is broken (after 10 coconuts the barrels stop moving).

Apple Hunt is broken

DNA golf is broken

Snowboard challeng is broken

Word race is broken

Defend your stronghold seems to be broken, though two people have high scores

I'd swear basketball rally is broken but it seems I'm the only one who has problems with that
