That makes me a happy confirmer..Don't know how I could pass my time without them (insert ironic smiley here).
Their next task is to beat Weehawks awesome phoenix score at all clones!
edit: After that..they'll submit all Gauntlet clones a score of 10k...shortly after they find out about the 8k trick and resubmit all with 30k!

So does anyone?

So how you get your huge romz... :)

Maybe it would be possible for Chris to give you new code and you to ftp it then?

Huge romz? What huge romz? *hides kinst.chd*

Probably. But I'm sure it'd be a lot easier to be able to tweak something when you're able to access it yourself. That, and programmers are lazy. (Ask seymour) :)

Ever notice that they seem to be specifically looking for games with lots of clones? Ugh...

It won't get confirmed either.

He apparently played with sound on, oblivious to the Special Rules.

Also, I note that his inp plays back with sound on (though not to the advertised score), even if one uses the -nosound option on playback. Not sure if this was an intentional change or just another fuck-up inherent in .84

I note that he is already up to 21st place by the old leaderboard's calculations. At his current average of 19.6 points per game and yesterday's rate of 17 submissions per day, he would top BBH in less than four months.

germans are cool, clone hunters are lame. Clone Hunter = people who look for all games in marp with no 1rst palces and put up cheesy scores, usually these are clones or new games.

i.e. http://marp.retrogames.com/index.cgi?mo ... xlines=999

Eventually the "real" players of the parent/clone games upload a better score and bump you down in the leaderboard. Hopefully, you will learn to practice on a game before submiting inps so your score will stay longer/higher/appriciated at marp. Good pinball score though!

I see that differently
it should play everyone each play
so that one has a better overview - whether one knows the play
my goal is - to upload each play with good highscore
I estimate that become heavy - because here a few good player :wink:
unfortunately a first place is more worth than 1000 second :cry:
but I do not give myself still for a long time struck --- 8) 8) 8)
