It's amazing that after all these years you can still find new places to fall off :grin:

Nope... being the atari queen and a domestic goddess all at the same time makes my days very busy. ;)

I may surprise you yet... we will see how well I do when I get a chance! :grin:

Well I'm still trying for third place. Deteacher and TheRealBountyBob are just leagues ahead of me but if I can stop falling in the cursed toxic waste I might, *might just* be able to nip 3rd. However the bad news is I'm now addicted to the Bounty Bob games all over again! :roll:

255,570. Closed the gap there, Bob. ;)

I got to Zone 5, station 2. The baddie came out of nowhere right off the bat and took my last life. :( I might have one more game in me tonight.

I know i'm kinda new around here and you guys have discussed this before but does anyone think that more people should get points to give a bit more incentive to those lower down the table :?: Maybe 8 then 6,5,4,3,2,1 as this creates 2 more places? Thought i'd mention this now before it's game over! I guess it depends on how many of us keep playing?

Better go as i've been stuck inside a cannon and ready to launch for over an hour now (dinner) :rolling:

We had that discussion when I took over. I was planning on doing it from 10 and then going down... all HM/P got 2. It seemed like folks liked it the way it is... and that is part of why I have been doing "bonus" contests periodically too.

Gosh...I must have forgotten exactly what I WAS gonna do! :) Here is the thread: http://www.atariage....howtopic=126657

Okay... if anyone else would like to change the scoring system... please let me know. It is just the first game so anything we decide to do wouldn't be too hard to implement. Feel free to leave any comments here or PM me. Thanks a bunch!!
