I would like to suggest something about the arcade...

[Drisos]

one thing I noticed about the arcade, some games are not fair. This is due to computer speed...

When I had my old computer, I got a highscore at astroids2000, which was 5 times the highscore of the number two. in some alien game I also totally crashed the number two score. The copmuter was 8 years old and very slow. the games also ran slow, so I had 'more time to fire and move'

I'm sorry to say, but I think Zaindustin has quite a slow computer as well. That score on astroids2000 is just totally impossible on a fast one.
Also, Tiberius scored 10.000+ points on click santa sometime. play the game once, and you know that is impossible. I achieved a score of 118 after hours of playing. it was nearly impossible gettin any further, because the santa moved faster and faster. 10.000+ is just not possible. on my computer, you wouldn't even see the santa, just a red flash and game over.

I doubt there is anything to do about this.. because if so it would've already be done. so this post is quite useless... bleh spam

10,000+ is most likely just a bug. One thing we could do is remove the games that don't adjust speed for your computers speed.


Oh, and "yes" to ZainDustin. That's 3 so far.

[Zain]

Tiberius PM'd me and told me to remove it as soon as I get the job. So, can that be 4 to Yes?

Also, Is the voting gonna be done on this thread, or done more professionally?

Hello!? Tosa. I'm eager to hear from you.

Patience grasshopper.

[TosaInu]

Feel free to add a poll, I'm fine with someone doing the arcade moderating.

[Zain]

Does it only need to let the top 50 people from the arcade to vote?

-ZainDustin

[Avicenna]

One yes.

A vote by someone who doesn't play arcade makes little sense?

[Zain]

Your question didn't really compute with me. Are you saying that it makes little sense, or not?

-ZainDustin

[TosaInu]

Anything I say is hard to compute, don't worry.

I say a vote is good and is the way to do this. I also say that the vote should be casted by those who actually use the arcade (and there should be a number of votes). If I didn't play it, I wouldn't care who could access the scores.

[therother]

The problem with a vote, unless I've missed something, is that there is currently only one candidate. Unless someone else wants to volunteer, there seems little point in having a vote.

As for who should be given a vote if we need one, I'd say anyone who is interested. That may well strongly correlate with those who have previously played games in the Arcade, but I think other Members shouldn't be excluded if they take an interest.

On a separate point, if there is to be an expanded use of the Arcade, perhaps we should have an Arcade (sub)forum to coordinate things?

[Zain]

I am going to set up a poll asking this, and I'd like it if Tosa would announce this so it's more public. I think it's pretty important.

And yes, Therother, I do want to do this. I'll make the Arcade more exciting, with Tournaments and stuff happening quite often.

Tosa, could you announce this for me?

I'll make the poll.

How's this?

oh yeah bugs... a few of the weird scores will be bugs. lol - I remember I never got a high score in space invaders because I just exploded after a little while, while I was not hit, and had 6 lives or so left.... grrrr

anyway, sorry if the last post sounded accusing.
