Good rules, nice friendly comps! Hopefully the next thread will stay more on topic, I really enjoy the game related banter, hints and tips (especially when done to the standard of Emph's very high quality vid - loved watching that one! - thanks), finding out about related games etc.. Not too keen on off topic discussion within these threads, kills the mood for me. Play fair, have fun ;) |

We are talking about how to make this competition more interesting and that's very on the topic, plus most of the people actually like the idea and do not mind discussing it. -- You do not even care enough to compete and submit your score, so how do you find appropriate to tell the rest of us what should we talk about? It is only you who seem confused by this supplemental topic and supposedly unable to navigate the thread because of it. Until you intruded here by pretending to be "lost", as if you can not ignore it, no one complained and there was no mention to move this discussion to a separate thread. -- By the way, we are discussing your complaint right now, whether we should move "shared scoreboard" discussion to another thread, or not. I don't mind either way, but I think we should let "majority" to decide, ok? |

Per the top post, "If you're a MARP competitor on this title, keep in mind this is just a friendly competition among forum members, so maybe you shouldn't enter. However, if you're a forum member and this is a game you're good at and nobody knows about it, this is your time to shine!" So, I'd say that this is a friendly competition by definition. There are other places to play seriously. And, if you want something even *less* serious than what we have here, check out AtariAge's MAME competition--they don't even require screenshots, but those competitions don't get as much post traffic, they run only 1 week, they don't really discuss gameplay, & they also do occasional giant "tournaments" where you have to play 10 or so games--that's a bit much for me. One thing I do rather like about the AA competition is that there's a scoring system & they track it. One guy organizes the competitions & runs a pretty tight ship. http://www.atariage.com/forums/forum/107-arcademame-high-score-club/ Also, I agree with emphatic that, to the letter of the competition as explained in the top post, we don't say people *can't* use aids, so we should add it to the next competition. Thanks, -Jason |

I'm not getting into an argument with you here torino, you are a known argumentative thread crapper with the tenacity of a commission based Jehovah's Witness. |

If you look at the TWO first pages of this thread and look at the scores submitted it's pretty clear that there's a lot of off topic stuff. Most of this has to do with me messing up by choosing a non-working game. And I agree, score submitting and strategy discussion is the fun stuff in this thread. I'd love to see a dedicated thread for your high score tool though. |
