Seems like Zwaxy dont care much about marp anymore,no news,no updates for beta 10,and soon b11 is out. Marp seem totally dead to me (remember this is my opinion)
<p>

I think MARP is alive and well...Zwaxy probably has other things to
take care of besides us over-grown teenagers in our virtual
arcade. Fear not...you can still participate in T2 and submit ugly
scores to regular MARP and have them criticized by your fellow
MARPers :p...SEE?! IT'S ALIIIVE, IT'S ALIIIVE!

I think MARP is still alive and well. Most of the point of making the site so automated was so that I didn't have to constantly baby-sit it - I wanted it to pretty much take care of itself.<p>

Updating for new betas is a reasonable amount of work if you want to get it right (checking which games have been renamed to which other games and so on). If anyone wants to volunteer to take this task off my hands I can pass them the arcane knowledge of how it's done... Don't all shout at once, now!

The ideal applicant will possess the following skills:

<p>

<UL>
<LI>An attention to detail bordering on the clinically insane.
<LI>A willingness to work for free.
<LI>A skin as thick as orange peel.
<LI>The ability to run basic UNIX tools like 'diff' for comparing MAME game lists.
<LI>Um...
<LI>That's all.
</UL>

Zwaxy, I think I'm overqualified in all these areas. Sign me up!!

laffaye@ibm.net

I'd volunteer but the only diff I'm aware of is in my car..
<p>

And Stig- see, Zwaxy 'do' care and MARP isn't dead! Yay!! Soon you'll
be able to upload your super duper Pong score that you've been
hanging onto in sheer anticipation for a Beta 10 update!

<p>

But wait, I thought you didn't care about MARP anymore. Seems like
you care plenty enough to hang around moaning and whinging. If MARP
seems dead to you, why don't you do something constructive and
participate in T2 or upload something to the regular site? Here's a
change- I'm going to complain about YOU. You tried to rip the voting
system off in T2 with your mass voting crap, then bleated about
MAME32 not being allowed. The vote to use it went your way, and after
all that moaning about it not being in, you submit one recording on a
non tourney setting that was disqualified. Poor Stiggy Wiggy didn't
like that so he decides to not participate anymore. Geezus... get a
life man.

<p>

Sorry to the others (except Lamat And MvdV) for this little rant, but
I'm getting a bit sick and tired of the crap that's been going on
here. No wonder Angry won't contribute anymore.. if things keep going
the way they're going I'll be joining him.

MARP is free!!!!!!!1

Jesus H Christ,
Some of the posts on this board are beyond me. Here we have a guy who
has set up a platform for arcade junkies like myself ,and the rest
of you guys , to play, record , compete, and above all, enjoy the
experience. Hell, do ya think that when the " Golden Age " sort of
dwindled years back, that you`d have this chance to re-live the
experience ? I know I didn`t.
This same guy does it for free, for our benefit, and quite rightly,
in his own time. I`m not really in to slagging-off ( that means "
flaming" , or complaining about....for the benefit of players who are
not natural English speakers ) other players. But Stig...c`mon , to
state that Zwaxy " dont care much about marp anymore " is a bit much.
Who are you to question what way MARP is run ? It`s nothing personal
( I`ve obviously never met you ), but from your posts you do , in
fairness, appear to be rather grumpy and cynical.
Hell, I`ve a few scores from Beta 10 that I`d like to submit, but you
don`t hear me complaining. I`ll wait like everyone else until the
Database is upgraded.
As for MARP seeming totally dead ? Seems rather alive to me. But then
again , thats only MY opinion....

Seems that i did what my intention was,to provoke people here .
The reason i disliked my recording was disqualified is,that i used
the same settings for my Officially recogiced Twin Galaxies Mame
hiscore,can be downloaded at Marp. My point is not that Chris dont
care anymore or that site is dead, it is that just a few people seem
to enjoy it at the moment. And a message to you JSW, if you leave
marp it wouldnt hurt marp at all,and nobody would care,so just piss
off.

<p>

Very sad if you have to get attention that way. Ever considered
therapy?

<p>

And you need to get your facts straight. Your recording on MARP was
made using m34b3. The default settings for that one are NOT the same
as the default settings for win35. The settings you used for T2 were
NOT TG. And, please, speak for yourself if you say that only a few
people enjoy MARP. If YOU don't enjoy it (and I doubt there's anything
you enjoy), that doesn't mean others don't.

<p>

And what was the point of ICQ'ing the F-word to gameboy9? What has HE
ever done to you?

<p>

Why don't YOU leave MARP, if you're so concerned about people enjoying
it? I bet a lot of people would enjoy MARP a lot more then...

<p>

I never did send anything bad over icq to anyone, and of course not
to gameboy9,i have nothing bad to say about him or most marpers,
there is a few that is ruining everything like JSW and a few others.
You will never see me leave MARP. Ok so in fact my tg record was made
with the same settings as the tourney is played on,too bad nobody has
beaten it yet without cheating. (i hope somebody do)
I want an explenation why the heck do you guys turn me into the bad
guy, i just want a nice place for hiscores,without cheaters, egoists
and so on. I been competing at marp longer than most people in this
discussion, so i know how fun it was when it all started.
So again piss off to JSW, but nobody else should feel i am addressing
them, the ones that its meant for knows who they are.
Me has always wondered why people are so afraid of saying their name
here, people like BBH,JSW and others.

Uhhh... what the hell? Why am I being dragged into this?
<p>

Who said I was "afraid" of saying my name here? Ever heard of
nicknames? A lot of people use them on the 'net, ya see. If you want
to know someone's real name so badly, just ask. Mine is Matt Hall,
"BBH" is a long-running nickname that I've kept alive by entering it
in as my initials on games... and on the net. Are you happy?

<p>

And now exactly is JSW "ruining" things for everyone? You think if he
left no one would care, Stig? I would, he's an excellent player and
doesn't whine when things on MARP don't go perfectly for him. Imagine
that....

lordbbh@aol.com

Stig, you are unbelievable. Just how am I ruining everything for
MARP? You seem to be the one who is causing all the problems here
with your constant complaining, bad attitude and arrogance. As for my
name- like BBH I chose to use my initials when I started here at MARP
(I've been here longer than you BTW) as that is what I used to enter
in the arcades when I got a high score, most people know my name is
James Wilson. I suggest you be the one to piss off, and I'm sure most
people here would agree.

think that marp is going to die because of things like that we all
love marp and mame and classic arcade games we should be friends and
help eachother out instead of fighting thats my opinion.i hope
everybody that is on marp now will stay because we are like a
family.so don't think i am pointing a finger at annyone i just wanted
to say this and i hope you all know what i mean because i am from
belgium and my englisch is not that good .and remember that i am the
