I'm not totally for allowing auto-fire in these comps, but then, how would anyone know?...

No one would know of course. But because we don't play for golden britches or diamond encrusted arcade cabinet that's why it's assumed that honor system is enough here. If you cheat just to have your pick of a game to be played next, then you really only cheating yourself by not knowing how you stack up against others. I don't think anyone can question emphatics ability to play flying shark, but... would his score be equally high? As I mentioned before as long as second place winner don't complain, then it's all good with me, but I'd think that 2nd place winner has every right to DQ emphatic.

I'm unsure if emphatic's score is even intended to be an offiicial competition submission:
"I still don't feel comfortable claiming the #1 spot in a game I myself chose that I already know I'm good at."
"I didn't make the run I recorded to win the competition though"
emphatic, is this an official submission?
If it is an official submission & it bumps me to 2nd or 3rd, then I will be OK with that (well, I'll be just a tad grumpy, thanks to my competitive nature, but that's my own shortcoming--emphatic didn't violate anything that was spelled out in our limited & terse guidelines), as long as we update the rules in the next post to disallow such aids in the future.
:)
Thanks,

My submission wasn't ever competition material. More like a tutorial kinda deal. Then some folks suggested it to be counted, but I'd rather have the runner-up choose the next game. That's just how awesome I am. :)

If you read my post very, very carefully, you'll see that I am ambivalent about it. Someone could use it, someone could not. In the end it's just a friendly comp, and I can't actually imagine anyone photoshopping a score just to win...
