Edit: Tangerine wasn’t a very good game choice, hopefully this one is better.

is this a joke?

EDIT: (I was sorta thinking the same thing, that’s why I quoted…durr. :P)

EDIT 2: Me? Spam? Nevar.

Because if you didn’t quote the person right above you, you’re message would have only been 2 characters, and thus spam.

Good luck to those remaining.

I was in kind of a rush when I picked the game, so I can understand if this game isn’t wanted that much. If you guys want, when I have more time when I’m on later, if I’m on, I can pick a different game, but that will be up to you guys.

No offence VG, but I would much rather wait for a while than play this game. :P

Looking at the game further, it seems like to get the most points, you would just need to be the person who can move around the tangerine in circles for the longest time, that’s the only strategy involved.

W00t! I now have the Alltime score for that game. Too bad I am eliminated. :|
20k, took 20 minutes.
Im sure it will get beaten this round.

I’m gunna change the game, since the Tangerine game isn’t a very good game choice to use.

Edit: Game changed. Check the 2nd post.

Pwong is heavily dependent on framerate. Fast computers are in a major advantage in this game I believe. So, not a good choice ;)

Who in the final 4 does not have a fast computer? I mean really, games before this round have tested the speed of comps, so there’s little to no way one of these guys was scoring massive points with something from the 90s.

My point was more on the lines of: This game would barely be a test of skill, but more a test of speed of computers. All might be fast, but some are always faster than others.

Well, my computer isn’t all that fast I don’t think, but I am more happy with this game choice than the previous. I’m happy to play this game.

Agreed, but it proved that the people who advanced had the fastest computers.

If frickn, blade and ellda agree, can we end this round at least a day earlier? We really should get this tourney to an end. And thx again for taking over VG, much appreciated!

ACTUALLY, Frick, I by far don’t have the fastest computer. My internet is horribly slow because my provider sucks. I would lag really early in DDO, but I managed to find my way around it long enough to get an acceptable score. Maybe I do have a tad bit of skill. :P

I actually want the tourney to be over ASAP so the next one can start, so if they agree, I would be more than happy to end it a day earlier. Also, thanks for the praisement. :P

What was wrong with ending it Sunday night? You put Sunday night up and then 12 hours later you change the game and extend the deadline by 48 hours. Hell, I’d be content with the deadline being Saturday night.

The deadline was gunna stay the same, until Cheeze pointed out the upgrades I hadn’t noticed, so, to give enough time to get the upgrades maxed out & to get as good a score as possible, I added 2 days to the deadline.

I think an extra two days might be a bit excessive: it doesn’t take that long to build up the upgrades.
