i thought this was about a duck tales game for a minute....way to read closely

[Mooshm29]

how do i get on the rope on the second part?

Edit: Never mind i found it :D

[pollovivo]

Notice the name of the last area... a good reception think about it for a moment... yeah.. that's right...

[Null]

hmm. how come in the top 10 list it lists pollovivo as champion. but if you go to the game list window, it says timmy is still champion. but if you click on timmys name it doenst list him as champion, but clicking on pollo's name as it does list him as champion. lol

arcade been going a bit strange lately. it also didnt list me as winning a championship in the event window yesterday even tho i do have it.

just odd.

[pollovivo]

Well, I beat it last week... twice, so either way I should be #1

...didn't register tho :(

[Null]

well it registered this time. in every place except the game list window. but you are the champion of it now, so oh well. :P

[edit]
well now its switched the award back to timmys name when you click on his name. very strange indeed.

[timmy]

yer but this is crazy i registered it before pollovivo (you can check the date) yet i am not the champion and i am not happy!!!

how does this work out i don't get it?!?!!?!

[Null]

honestly, if the Acade worked how one would think, he SHOULD be the champion. because on tie scores it should goto time, and he did it in FAR less time then you did.

However thats not the way the arcade usually works. and timmy, if you go into your statistics... http://www.randomgames.com/forum/arcade.php?do=stats&userid=1009

you are indeed still the champion (altho earlier today that award was listed under pollo's name, so it could switch again)

IMO, he SHOULD be the champion tho, cuz in tie scores, and expecially games that you cant get a higher score on, Time should count for something.

[timmy]

oh well i just beat him again, it's whoever gets the 100 last unlike all the other games

well i was first to get the highscore and on cricket you can only get 45 but the highscore doesn't rely on time it relies on who did it first

[Null]

i know, the games DONT rely on times. what im saying, is they SHOULD.

[simon]

i disagree it should depend on who did it first. timmy deserves that in my eyes.

makes absolutly no sense tho. if pollo did the same thing, but did it better. he deserves it.

whats the point of the game if all it relies on is who did it first? its basically the end of that game and scores should be reset. having time as the tie breaker keeps the game going.

normal games would take time into account. thats kinda like saying that there can no longer be a new NFL champion, because such and such team already won the superbowl first a long time ago. its just stupid.

[simon]

but for this one...it being a logic puzzle game...the first person to crack it should be the winner. otherwise someone really shit who just read the solution somewhere and did it as fast as they could, could nab first place. timmy got the complete solution first, proving hes the best at this type of game at least.

dependancy on time should be applied to other games i agree, but not this one

[Arkacia]

pollovivo, what browser are you using?

Not saying this is the reason your scores did'nt register, but I know that some arcade games don't like browsers other than Internet explorer, and play up with Mozilla, Opera etc.

then if thats all there was. theres no place for that type of game on a competitive board. Competition shouldnt have to stop because someone did something FIRST. now note there is indeed something to be said about the first one who did a game like that. and i very much think timmy should be well noted for doing it first. however i dont think the champion should stay the person who did it first. i think it should be the person who did it best.

whos to say the first on the board didnt read the solution somewhere else? theres many many boards that have that game. (im not saying timmy did, just hypathetical)

all im saying is. the one who played the game better isnt the champ. he did it in half the time. if knowing it was all there is to it then timmy should be able to blow thro it quickly also. just cuz you know the answers to a puzzel, doesnt mean time is no issue, theres still something to be said for someone who can do the same puzzel faster.




pollovivo, what browser are you using?

Not saying this is the reason your scores did'nt register, but I know that some arcade games don't like browsers other than Internet explorer, and play up with Mozilla, Opera etc.


i've never seen any browser, mozilla or opera have a problemw ith any game. However because of tabbed browsing, i have seen them goof up by playing more then 1 game at a time on 2 different tabs.

i just SLAUGHTERED micks roulette score by over 100,000 poitns, however when i went to register that score it said i didnt have the permissions. i look at another tab and i still had another games score on it.... pissed me off, but just remember to keep other tabs clean when doing it next time. hehe

[Arkacia]

Well, some of the arcade games at OG have or had probs with some browsers. I don't know if it was just the browsers, or a combination of browser and vb2, which that forum uses. I did have some probs here in the early days when I was using Opera. Like I said though, its just a possibility.

[pollovivo]

First of all, Arkacia, I was using the AOL Browser when I recorded those high scores... or at least tried.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Timmy unfairly, but I beat the game without outside help from another board DAYS before timmy. If you want proof, see my post under broken game reports... It's really a matter of trust. Why would I lie about beating a game, especially before somebody else had beaten the game (at the time, I had the high score already at 95, even less reason for me to lie).

I agree with Null that the trophy should go to the one who has completed the game in the least amount of time, because, as he said, why stop a game just because somebody completed it? Wouldn't you agree that it's better to beat Super Mario Brothers in 15 minutes as opposed to 30 hours, or at least, wouldn't it show better gaming prowess? That's the purpose of this site.

If it did go down to time, even Timmy's second 100 percent perfect score submission was over double the time of my first one that went through (and longer than the ones that wouldn't submit, although I have no way of proving that), since it is 1120 sec to my 545.

I'm not trying to cheat you of a trophy timmy, I just want this to be a fair and balanced site pushing people to their gaming limits. I don't really care that much about the trophy, although it is nice to have some distinction for being the first to fully complete the game. I mean, for me, it isn't a life or death matter, but if they did give me the trophy, all you would have to do (in the ideal world) is beat it in 544 seconds or less. :cool:

Just remember timmy (and everybody on Random Games), pollovivo has a gamer's virtue, and I don't want anyone to feel like I'm cheating them 'cause I'm not.

That is all, have a chicken-filled day...

Sincerely, pollovivo...

[Arkacia]

pollovivo, I never accused you of cheating, or not getting the score first :).

I do believe you, promise.

Sometimes, as I said, arcade games do have probs running, submitting scores etc under non IE browsers. I had some hassles with Opera here with games here being tempermental about running, and ended up only using IE on the site, until I discovered Mozilla firefox, which I have never had a prob with.

[Mick]

I use the Mozilla Firefox browser and it is usually good but I have lost new high scores twice on this site. Not that i'm complaining..... i'm just saying it does happen .... and it's annoying .... but that's life:D .... and technology

I also have trouble submitting info on other sites sometimes, but I see you didn't use Mozilla. I don't know what AOL is like but from what i've heard, web sites are designed for IE so any other browser may have problems.

Actually, that was the error message that I had gotten... I hadn't noticed that in your post, or I would have spoken up about that again. I have experienced errors on Firefox and Internet Explorer as well... *sigh* sometimes computers only make the world a harder place...

not designed for IE, poorly coded. mozilla and opera as well as others read standard html code perfectly. However IE has little quirks that it can read errors and know what you were trying to do. like putting a space where it doesnt belong and things that shouldnt work but IE lets by. so when people code a website sloppy, they look in IE and say well it works fine. and leave it. its not the browsers fault.

as for the problems with scores and such. its more of a server / flash problem, not the browser you use. if the server cuts out then comes back while your playing a game. its like a disconnection and when you try to log your score, it wont count. or just a but in the flash game itself or such. these problems will happen in any browser. i've been on a different computer where all it has is IE and it happens just as much.

That was me stopping you cause I didn't want to lose my trophy:D:D ... just kidding:D I couldn't do that even if I wanted to

You are right Null..... "designed" is not the right word...oops :D

While I was playing some games, my modem disconnected and I just reconnect before submitting the score. It works fine for me :)

[supermario]

Just out of curiosity, to revive what was a major feud before the arcade high score reset, I think there's still a bug with scoring this game. Timmy has the trophy on the arcade page, but on the top scores list, as well as in the player profile, pollovivo has the trophy. Pollovivo has still got about 3 minutes on Timmy in completing this game, but Timmy completed it right after the high score reset.... any ideas what's going on?

[tonianne]

where is this game?

[Arkacia]

In the arcade games list with the other 76 games on the site :D.
