Rep point Scrabbler... nice read

With that, Scrab.

Your score of 10,290 hasn't been ranked in the final score total for Dragonfire score was last Sat. Should be ranked in the 13th spot, not 25th.

Zero can fix this I'm sure.

10,290

Thanks for the catch on the score. I hadn't even noticed it.

Welcome, I tend to check up on the ol' Centipede champ, see what score he's cranking in.

I remember season 7, when you and oyama arrived. I was swapping scores leads with you two there. I knew when I saw Scrabbler late in season 7, I'd always get the same score range, either some better or less.

I enjoy to look at the rankings, and find it fun to figure out which games certain players did their best at.

Now, the scores are VERY competitive...and also many people around. There's no room for slacking with so many playing the 2600 HSC. Points are hard to come by!

There's some great gamers like roadrunner and miss 2600, with (2) points. Even when their scores were pretty decent, some of the other gamers have stepped it up! Like Vocelli, Pis, Frostbite, Oyama, and always dangerous Mailman.

I pushed myself passed my passing limit on Millipede and even Dragonfire.
Hard to keep in the top 5 standing, but that is my goal early on.

I can't agree with this statement more. I remember back to season 5, when I came away with the "crown." Then, Toymailman came along and put me in my place. Then came Scrabbler, JacobZu7zu7, and the notorious Oyama...the list goes on and on.

I haven't had more fun with my Atari than I have when playing in the HSC. I can't wait to get home because I've got some scores to catch up to...or at least try to catch up to.

Going away for the weekend.
Cannot play until Monday. BUT I will have plenty of time to play when I return.

Just thinking.
This is just an idea to bounce off everyone. By no means am I stepping on toes here.
Why not institute a playoff system?
Top 8 players make the playoffs and during the last 3 weeks they fight it out Head-to head via bracket style.
Week one: 1 rank vs 8 rank, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6 and 4 vs 5. Ze_ro picks the game.
Winners move to playoff Week 2 with four players going head-to head (two match-ups) with scores on a different game. Both winners move to week 3.
Week 3 would be the "Atari Final" or whatever you want to call it. Think of a clever name.
The last two standing players go head to head on another game. We crown our champ.
Positive and negitives?
Positives: Keeps everyone involved until the playoffs.
I would love the chance to take out some of you during playoff weeks.
Negitives: If you get eliminated. No competition until we start a new season.
Just an idea.
I don't want to change if nobody else wants to.

I also couldn't agree more. Lots of great players in the mix to always push you on.

New personal best in Mario for me. I got to Level 17 this time around.

Ah, yeah I remember you posted some monster scores... missing games is your only real weakness.

I actually was around in this 2600 HSC at seasons 3 or 4. I didn't play "consistently".

One reason, was I moved 1,000 miles from my hometown 4 years ago, and took two years off Atari playing and was just outdoors and working a lot. I unpacked the Atari console around 2008, missed most of season 7 for no real reason, and really decided to focus on season 8 and get competitive with it.

I regret taking a long time and not being consistent, because Season 6's game list looked great.

196,100 made it to level 21 with 3 lives again and lost them all.

[Frostbite76]

If I can cut down on the cheap deaths, my score will be much better. I tend to forget to let go of the controller after I die all the time, causing me to die again.

[Frostbite76]

getting much better at this game new score of 337,200 made it to level 29 or 30 and died from the last enemy. The levels after 20 are much longer but the same difficulty.
