Oops! (DP Arcade Challenges)

[Rogmeister]

I was checking out the DP Arcade section and I clicked on the "Challenges" link in that moon Lunar Lander-type game. I though it would give me info on what these challenges are all about...wrong! It seems this caused the system to send some sort of challenge from me to who currently holds the top score. COnsidering my top score is only about half if HIS top score, this obviously seems rather egotistical of me, doesn't it? :hmm: Can these challenges be cancelled? What happens if I hit it again?

[Cirrus]

I'm not entirely sure what happens if you click it again...

Okay, tried it: it sends another challenge, it doesn't cancel your first. Whoever I just challenged twice for the Monkey Diving game... sorry. LOL

I currently have 4 challenes put out, to three people, and not ONCE did I intend to do it. I am usually trying to hit High Scores or Comments and hit it.

It's sort of dumb, anyway. Just beat their high score if you want to challenge it.

Hmmm... does anyone want to challenge me in a game of Wheel of Fortune?

[DragonMaster Sam]

I accidentally sent out a challenge on Bump Copter, and I don't even on the top score.

It just sends a pm to the trophy holder, nothing special. I've gotten a ton of them for solitaire and mahjongg.

The idea is that it's a mechanism for trash talking.

"I'm gonna whip yo azz is Solitaire you mo-fo pant load!"

See? It's that easy.

I accidentally did this too on Monkey Cliff Diving. I was just looking for info, there's no way I can beat the high score. :)

It would be nice if there was a "are you sure" popup box or something after clicking on challenge. It would help prevent the accidental trash talking. ;)

i did the same thing on balloon bomber. LOL

[FooFighter]

Cool now I don't feel like such an idiot. LOL

[Mattiekrome]

Doh, sorry quintracker... accident

[Gemini-Phoenix]

I made the exact same mistake a while ago, and ended up sending someone three or four challenges before I realised what had happened! :embarrassed:

[mikeetler]

I did that way back when the arcade was first introduced. Ended up sedning a chllenge for Mahjong. At least I had the record for a day or so before the all-mighty Quintracker came in and showed that he truly owned the game. :)
