I have emailed my recording to Pat the Judge co-ordinator.
<p>
Unfortunately I've been trying for the last 90 minutes to get through to MARP to upload the following scores:
<p>
combascb 364940
pang3 1478100 (oh so close to another point)
usvsthem 260125
zzyzzyxx 274480
<p>
Just so you all know I've been trying and trying to upload these.
<p>

Actually I've been trying to keep people out of my office for long
enough to get the scores uploaded for the last couple of hours but
they just keep on interrupting.
<p>
I knew I should have taken the day off today - or at least a half day
to take me through to 23:59 GMT.

Yeah... it's yet another server crash by either ZTnet or emuunlimited
or whatever hosts retrogames... it has been a very disappointing
performance in the last week or two by these main servers...
<p>
I'm going to say that everyone has an extra day, you have until 2359
tonight(October 1) to upload what you need - if the server comes up,
you get that extra day and that's it... no matter what the server does
afterward. Satisfactory to all?

Correction: your recording STILL must be before september 30th - no
recordings dated October 1st or later will be allowed. I'm giving the
extra day to upload because of server problems.

I have checked, and notice the story that will post shortly on wwemu
that the crash is retrogames wide (including the MAME main page)
for more, go to
http://www.snes9x.com/wwemu
It will be there in 15-30mins.

Extending it a day sounds fair. And also players with submissions on
hold because of server problems, should follow suit with BeeJay and
post your pending scores. This would alleviate any questionable
submissions. Sound fair?

I'm not saying anyone would do this but if we extend the time for
uploads we really need to allow new recordings as well.
<p>
After all, someone could "wind their clock back" to create what looks
like another legitimite recording between now and the end of tomorrow
- although given the sporting conduct of most of us at MARP, within
the rules of the tournament, I don't think any of us would do this
but by doing this it would remove any possibility of people alluding
to such conduct.
<p>
So while it looks like we have to allow another day, perhaps if the
server goes down again late tomorrow we could email Pat with our
recordings and scores prior to the cutoff time and post them in this
newsgroup as well (assuming it's responding) so everyone can see what
they have to beat.

I'd say post those scores NOW! If they're legit, then you know what
they are already. Do yourself a favor and clear yourself of any
eyebrow-raising that may occur tomorrow.
<p>
BeeJay and I are now marked men because we have tipped our hand on
this final day. So it's only fair...right?

JoustGod has a very good point. If we allow recording for another 24
hours we've exposed our poker hands too early. If we don't allow
postings after the server is up for existing recordings then we're
penalising people who have recordings to upload.
<p>
People if you have scores you're waiting to upload state your scores
NOW.

IMHO, the only recordings that should be allowed to be uploaded after
the deadline (as soon as the server comes up) are the three from
BeeJay, since he stated in time to have achieved those scores.

You know what? Cicca is right. I think I'm going to go with BeeJay
needing to upload those four scores, EXACTLY as he posted them on the
board. That's it. No other recordings shall be accepted. Nobody
mentioned any other scores, so I think that's how I'm going to do it.

I will post them exactly as stated as soon as MARP is back again and
I'm back in the land of the living. It's now 01:30am NZT and the 3rd
night in a row that I've been up this late due to trying to improve
my position in the tournament - although last night it was 03:00am by
the time I turned in.
<p>
By my calculations my uploads will take me to 366 points -
unfortunately just 1 point shy of JoustGod who did a massive jump to
367 just prior to MARP dying - where did those last minute Gyruss
skills come from?! I know, probably the same place as my Combat
School mission complete.

I am balking on that, I saw MARP down, but I was at work trying to
upload. When you stated as long as they were dated on Sept 30, they
were fine, I logged out of my email. NOW you won't take them, what
gives???
