3 weeks? That's a little excessive, no? Will people be able to stomach that much Pac-Land?
I can't for the life of me figure out how to use the springboard to jump over the swimming pool. I fall far short. What's the trick?

Rapidly tap the move button and the jump button at the same time.
Does that work for the 2nd level spring board pools? There is an extra long one that I have not been able to clear yet.
Round 2 - The Forest : the first 'cheat' is achieved by pushing the second cactus back - giving you 80,000 points and transporting you to your house at the end of level two. If this doesn't work then try the second, third and fourth logs in the woods. The machine randomly chooses one of these (pushing the logs only works if you haven't died and you have 15,000 points).
Nobody has gotten the 80,000 point bonus?QuoteRound 2 - The Forest : the first 'cheat' is achieved by pushing the second cactus back - giving you 80,000 points and transporting you to your house at the end of level two.

So, are we going to end it tonight?...it being two weeks an all.
Why don't we go to one week per title instead of 2?

Originally, a week seemed too short for people to get in some time.

Yeah, some people got jobs...
Interesting I posted the question regarding time limit in very second post and no one said a word, now the lenght of the competition is all the rage. I say you guys suck it up and let it run another week, since no one complained earlier!
How about we both let this one run another week AND start a second 2 week contest. That way we can run two at once, but only have one ending each week.
How about we keep two weeks, but run two contests at a time.
Like for the next contest run both Final Fight and Frenzy.

I would only like to see 2 competitions at once if the 2nd game would only be reruns of other competitions that some of us may not have had a chance to compete in. My only concern is that with 2 games at once that some people may not even try the other game.
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 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,113948.0.html) thread?

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

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.
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.
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 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,113948.0.html) 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.
