Agreed. Not seeing many people display their knowledge of an incentive to go past the safe zone.

By the way, 145300. Level 19.

Me too. I would have kept playing HERO after I got my 74+ score on Wednesday. I waited to post it today. Maybe you should start the point system next week.

No problem, here's what will happen, I'll leave this open until Saturday.... the KO 1st round will end in 30 mins...but the High Scoring will extend untill Friday. 13th 11:59PM.

WE NOW WILL HAVE RANKINGS AND POINTS, OH MY!

Atari 2600 Knockout Round 1: has claimed it's first victim... phaxda - 0.

However, he can still show up (everyone here too!) and post for a higher HERO score before Sat hits (Eastern Time) ...

Phew, I banked on a number of no shows this time around. Got lucky, next time I should pay more attention.

I don't know, should you add the ranking system this time around? I thought the point was to just knock the lowest out and leave it at that.

I agree with Stan. The basic KO format sounded great to me. Players are trying to NOT be at the bottom instead of trying to be at the top. Its an interesting and slight twist. With this format I think players at or near the bottom are incentivised to keep playing and pracitcing so as not to be eliminated. I think this raises the average of the competitors as a whole. Other than the zero score, look at how many close scores are in the 60-70k range this week.

That's how it will remain. Point system is just on the side, and won't determine the ultimate winner. The reason for a point system is to give people who have been eliminated a reason to play. If you choose to not take it seriously, that's fine.

I have to agree with Zoyx... with 20+ players we will be here for a while... and getting cutt 2nd or 3rd round,
will be pretty unsatisfying to be "out".... as they will have nothing to shoot for this winter.

If there was only like 10 players entered, it would be different.

The contest will pick up, in the next few weeks... the knockout is still the main focus... and will look
pretty much the same, just open to everyone to play for points.

There will be a asterik and font change to indicate any player going for high score... that is NOT
included in the Knockout.

Ok... My last score at Hero. On to Raft Rider.

Yeah, I agree, this way it will keep interest for all the players for all the weeks. On to Raft Rider!
