High Score Competition #99: Pac-Land

[PL1]

Why not have the second contest rerun the original set of contests from the very beginning in order. Call it High Score Rerun Competion.

Isn't that called the BYOAC High Game Scoreboard thread?

Yes, except that it would be a heck of a lot more active.

I thought that's what this thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,113948.0.html was invented for, no?

Yup.

Nothing is stopping you guys (paige) from having your own in home competitions. I'll have a Game Of The Month for the family to compete in, most of the time it's a classic game that has already been a BYOAC comp game.

Sorry for the delay.. I'll get a tally and a new game started up very soon... #100, apparently.  I'll try to come up with something fun.

Final Score Tally:

Tafoid       - 212990
kixfan       - 159160
Gray_Area    - 85210
danny_galaga - 43780

Regarding length of competition - about 2 weeks just feels right.  It gives most people a chance to at least try it and feel how they want to proceed with the competition.  I would add that there should be a rule in which a competition can be aborted after 1 week, although I am not sure how many "new game" posts will be needed and if the posts should include only score posters or not...  something to think about.

New game coming up in a bit.

This is probably the most bizzare ending to any of the competitions. First no one reacts to the proposed by OP end date, and then against his wishes and without any consideration his date is overriden with disregard whether anyone else might be assuming they still have a chance to compete, because of the original end date... Whatever.

I'd agree.  It was an odd ending.

I did what I did based on the following factors:
A) Active participants verbally decided to stop the longer timeframe and were agreeing to pick a new game, along with congratulations to me for winning.
B) Like you said in your post right from the start, 3 weeks was abnormally long which supported my observation in my short time here that have all been 2 weeks in length (give or take a day).
C) Revenger himself mentioned he should probably adjust the length, but did not.
D) Presumably, the winner usually chooses the next game, which I did.

That all said, people can still submit scores if they want to the BYOAC High Game Scoreboard and dethrone not even the high score here, but for any previously run competition.

Hopefully, Revenger, you aren't too put off with how things went down here.  If so, I truly apologize and was just keeping the games flowing.
