Well, this game is damn hard. I got another personal high score for me today, but considering I've never been able to pull of the EXTRA trick, I'm damn worried. :/

Especily since Mr. Food Monster has yet to say anything in here since the results of the last round were posted.

Well, being on the east coast helps a little. As soon as I get home from work Wed night, I'll go back to the game and play as long as I can until the Midnight west coast deadline hits. And pray it will be good enough to advance to the finals.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Wow, this game is tough... and judging by the previous scores, I'm sure you guys are hard at it. Well, I'm going to keep on playing until I can get a really high score!

Well, dont worry about me not saying anything, I was just... not talking =P
I've not been able to pull off the EXTRA either, the best I got to was EXT, and that wasnt even on my best game. I found anoter way to get some mad points, but its pretty difficult to pull off. And, just so you know, I'm NOT going to be playing this until the deadline. I've only played it for roughly 2-3 hours total, and I plan on going at it some more later on tonight. Good luck, I can tell this is going to be a close one!

[DragonMaster Sam]

Jibba, I definitely like your idea of an ATP style ranking system. That would keep me motivated to play hard all the time.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Well, my score is in. I ended up getting lucky with that game, and never got back up close enough to it. Good luck to all!

[SoulBlazer]

Yup, I just had my best game and figured I could'nt do any better, so I sent mine in. I wanted to make the west coast deadline.

Only it looks like Yahoo may be acting up for me, so I'll send it again in a hour, just to make sure.

[Jibbajaba]

Hey guys, I don't actually have time to update the jpeg right now as I am late for work, but SoulBlazer and Dr Morbis both won, and will play in the championship game. InsaneDavid and Mr. FoorMonster will play in the Bronze medal match!

Congrats.

Chris

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Yeah, me and SoulBlazer got antsy and we showed eachother the submitted scores. Congrats to him and Dr.Morbis for well played games. But, I'm not done yet. Me and David will battle it out for the bronze!

[SoulBlazer]

Note that I only asked Mr. Food Monster AFTER the Midnight deadline and after I had played my final game and sent in the scores.

Wow, tough game....I'm lucky I had the one good game last night or it would have been him advancing. Tough game all around.

And now I have to go up aganist Dr. Mobius in the finals -- AUGH! Not going to be easy at all.

Congrats to everyone so far!

[Jibbajaba]

Everyone remember that the Championship round of the playoffs will not be occurring until Tuesday morning.

Thanks

Chris

[Dr. Morbis]

Well, since the winners have already been announced, I'm going to go ahead and post my score:

368,300.

How did the rest of you do? Let's see some scores.

[SoulBlazer]

HOLY CRAP!

How the HECK did you get that high of a score? Mine was about 225k and I could only get that high once!

And you wonder why I did'nt want to go aganist Dr. Morbius in the finals. :P

...and just for absolutely butchering the spelling of my name, I'm going to rip you a new one in the Championship game

[NE146]

If the championship game is an exciting game to watch, I'd like to see .inps

[SoulBlazer]

Sorry, quickly written post, I was still in shock. :P

It has been corrected, and no insult was ment, good sir.

Well, I used the keyboard and had the J-K-L keys as the 3 shooting buttons. I trained myself to just stare at the center of the screen and use my peripheral vision to shoot baddies. I also made sure my fairness value was as close to 0.00 at the end of each round as possible by always making sure not to pull the trigger till after the draw (easier said than done of course). That's 9 or 10k per round right there. My highest scoring game ended on round 11 I think.

Again with the spelling? All the more inspiration to win :P

[InsaneDavid]

How did the rest of you do? Let's see some scores.

155,200 - ooooooh, so impressive, huh?

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Oh yeah, I suppose the rest of you would like to know. I got 187150, and I also tried to make the fair shots all 0:00 but I only pulled it off once or twice in that game. No EXTRA for me, either.

[SoulBlazer]

Just to make sure we did'nt miss anything --

When is the last round susposed to start?

[Jibbajaba]

Was going to be tommorow, but would you guys mind if I made it Wednesday instead?

Thanks

Chris
