who will reach a hundred thousand first?

Hmm, tough call.

I'll put my money on Ray the Wanderer.

My guess is that he would play another one real soon just to get himself over 100k.

Well - big surprise there! I hear that Singapore is in the middle of a cyclone, though - power shortages across the city. How will Ray play with no juice?!

WAKE UP STAFFA!!! COME ON PONTIUS!!!

LOL
so much for the hurricane

We sit and wait and watch . . .

I wonder if 100k is a differnt rank? Fleet Admiral or something else Galactic Emperor perhaps?

My money is on either Darkhorse9 or Bimbo15! This is just the moment they've been waiting for to submit all those 23k games! Could happen . . . .

Ray's got this one in the bag. Staffa is in semi-retirement and unlikely to know there is a threat on such short notice, or be too slow to stop it even with advanced warning. The boss and EBZ are just too far behind, even for the EBZ warp speed method of many small maps very fast.

Edit: correction. My information was a few hours old. Staffa did sneak one in. But he needs more than a single tiny to break the barrier. There is a real two way race afterall.

Check the score board people. The race is on!

The race is over

Actually the race is over! Congrats!

Arg, Staffa blew the surprise.

Cotal! I thought Bimbo15 was YOUR secret identity code! You're a born pirate, girl - come sail the seven seas with us!

BRAVO STAFFA!!! Brilliant Maneuver!

THE CROWD ERUPTS!!!! YOU LEGEND STAFFA!!!! UNBELIEVABLE VICTORY TO DA MAN!!!


Gallant effort Ray! Too bad about the cyclone...you're are still a Metaverse legend in your own right [Wombat bows in deep respect].

Phew...that certainly livened up the morning....

Gerakken is unlucky today! My information was dated while making the post, and then Staffa's new game doesn't update his score until the minute after I edit my own post and start reading game over when his score just read 98K while I was looking right before the edit. Ow.

Actually it did take some maneuvering

I was 4k shy with my last game and running out of time
so I did a sneaky pirate move and recalled T-man
saying any game can be submitted twice so I submitted
some old ones again.

Nothing like being evil

Excellent pirate move!

Though I was rooting for Ray, there is no shame in losing to 'I can beat Maso in my sleep' Staffa.

Congrats to you!

~SDC~

unless ray did double submitting too, kinda lame.

Woot . . . an awsome move congratulations Staffa!

Now your a Commodore to boot, um . . . whats a Commodore? A bird, a car ( 70's mo-town band) . . . I no understand. I thought you'd be bestowed the title of Emporor, mabye thats a mere 898 000 off though .

P.S. I couldn't possibly be a pirate, I got caught steeling a yoyo and Rubics Cube when I was seven. I think I've learnt my lesson.

"Never try and flog more than you can carry!"

LOL

Well, 1.05 was released on 6/10 I believe and ray
has resubmitted games that he submitted prior to 6/10
specifically some finished on 6/7.

That is with respect to double submitting games played
on different versions which is the only thing that
might be considered lame.

double submitting a game on the same version is fully
intended to be a viable option for players to try to
better their score. From T-Mans own mouth(or fingers
as the case may be)

Now obviously I went back a good 2 months to resubmit
a game where Ray only went back a few days(some month
ago).

Not the most benevolent kind thing I have ever done,
one of the advantages of being in an evil empire is
im not expected to live up to such standards of conduct

Ive been a commodore for a good long time, in fact your
a commodore too!

Its rear admiral that we are looking for and failing to
find.

I know, but it's just such an ironically piratical move...like a dagger between the ribs from out of the shadows....delicious....

I still say rear admiral is a myth. Not unless someone either gets it or someone who actually coded it into the Metaverse says what the exact requirements are.

I'm a commodore . . . oh yes I see off-course I am . . um that seems a little silly considering I'm an outside chance of reaching 100 G's by the end of next year . . .

I could't help but notice your last official game Staffa . . . 26 plus K, thats a biggie! I guess the next BIG event will be watching GROSS eclipse the one million barrier!

I bet it will happen on August the 13th . . .

Congrats Staffa!

Nothing like a little challenge to awaken you from your slumber.

Well, we are all still waiting for the elusive Rear Admiral. Sure hope those ranks are already implemented.

Actually Staffa's done nothing that everyone else hasn't already done. He upgraded defective scores. He just didn't need em till now and had em saved.

But it was Bloody Wicked.

wow, im right!

i am kinda disapointed however, i actually was rooting for Darkhorse9 or Bimbo15 also

To be fair to Staffa I did resubmit two games way back during the period where Frogboy was asking for scoring suggestions.

I rushed two Maso games (which had about 2-3k score) so that Frogboy could use them as references for his score tweaking. However, he didn't want them, so I replayed them normally and resubmitted them at a much higher score.
