Fallout_002 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Glad to find this board seeing as AtariAge's MAME competition apparently fell apart a few months back.Seeing as the leaderboard is quite replete with competitions over the past year or two, are there any plans to reset to a new 'season" at any point? Or will points for the overall Hi-Score ladder generally be accumulative and ongoing indefinitely for the foreseeable future? There would seem to be quite a difficultly curve for a new competition entrants to play competitively at this point given the huge selection of open games in the overall competition.

Adultery Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 It seems that way at first, but the score is recalculated every time a user submits a score. A new player could jump in with a few hi scores and be right up in there no problem. Consistent game play is key, users come and go and don't always defend hi scores, and that makes the scores drop. All you gotta do is start submitting scores, you'll be surprised how fast you climb the ladder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to our Hi-Score competition Deteacher from Atariage hasn't been online since March...I've been playing in his competition and it unfortunately fell apart indeed...BUT...you're more than welcome to join our competition About our Leaderboard...Adultery already explained it very well. Some more info: your hi-score position on each hi-score game represent points for your Leaderboard position. You can check - at any moment - your leaderboard total by simply adding up the individual points of your current hi-score game positions. Your Leaderboard total is published in our Leaderboard thread.When starting this competition I wanted a newcomer to have the same chances for a good leaderboard position as someone already playing our hi-score games for a year or longer. When previous points earned would stick with you this is not the case. I've sent you a personal message (see little envelop at the top right section of your screen) about our Hi-Score competition with info on how to join our competition and some general rules. If you have any questions about our competition you can always sent me a PM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mame Offender Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 @ fallout - You were having a hell uva year at Atariage last year. Unfortunately, that league hit a cement wall. Give this site a try. Huge selection, come and go with no time limits. It is a blast!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallout_002 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Looking over the list of ongoing competitions, I notice that I already hold some competitive scores for a few of the games. If I still have pics supporting those scores, can I submit them? Or is there a rule that all submissions must be "fresh" and attained after a game was officially nominated for a game-of-the-month competition?

Or is there a rule that all submissions must be "fresh" and attained after a game was officially nominated for a game-of-the-month competition?To keep with our philosophy of a "fair fight" we'd like you to post new scores. This is to encourage all competitors to actually play the games, which in turn will more likely get your competitive fires burning (and so you'll come & back play even more titles). It also means that the "worlds best at EVERYTHING" doesn't just sign up, post scores that destroy everyone else's hope and then leave.Although a little less scrupulous than some sites, we still try our best to run a fair comp, which is why you (or anyone else) has exactly the same chance now as you would have 1 year ago. As MO stated, there is no "time advantage" in our comp It seems to me that you will be a great player to have onboard, despite your seemingly unjustified reservations. Why not just try a few and see how you go? You might just be pleasantly surprised at how quick you climb that ladder, even without getting top spot on every game 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Nah, go ahead... As long as you used the same settings as mentioned in the games main post there shouldn't be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should encourage contestants to actually play our games and we have no need for hit-and-run tactics. I'm sure Fallout will enjoy the competition when he's actively playing and submitting scores @ Fallout > I hope you agree. Again, you're very welcome to join our competition and like Adultery said we kindly ask you to use the game settings as mentioned in the games main post. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansolo77 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Speaking of expanding and new users. We had a new user who has come, and now decided to go. His scores are unmatched. Should we start to consider removing his scores from the boards, to give everybody a little easier goal to match, plus enhance a lot of leaderboard positions?
