@ Cynicaster: unfortunately we can't accept your Popeye Hi-score submission ....perhaps you just forgot to enter your initials. Nevertheless, we kindly ask you to submit a screenshot with your initials included.

We run a friendly and casual competition but this is a rule we ask our members to follow. We were perhaps a bit more indulgent in the past but - assuming you're aware of the discussion we've had with TodayIsForgotten a couple of weeks ago - we unfortunately can no longer accept hi-score submissions without initials.

Again, we kindly ask you to either submit a screenshot with your initials included or make use of Adultery's Hi-Score Snapper tool (recommended).

Hoping for your understanding.

I can't update the board right away. I'm not at my setup. Maybe one of my fellow mods will update this gameboard in the meantime...

Naw, it's cool, rules are rules. I think I just formed some bad habits by posting so many scores at AtariAge where they aren't very particular about what constitutes proof.

I totally missed that discusssion with TiF. If I'd seen it, I probably would have taken more care. I don't doubt he got those scores, but for whatever reason, he decided to play loosey-goosey with the burden of proof and a judgment was made accordingly. Fair is fair.

Personally, I think anybody who feels inclined to "cheat" in a competition like this has some serious issues. But, if you participate on sites like this long enough, you will see it happen eventually.

I can tell you right now that if videos were required, I'd probably stop participating because it's just not worth the hassle to me. A screenshot with initials is quick and easy, but it provides some level of proof. That's a good balance, IMO.

Again, thanks for understanding .

We also rely on honest players. However, imho it feels "too easy" if I play in a hi-score competition and everybody is allowed to submit their score as a simple text message.

I agree with both statements ...it's absolutely sad if somebody feels inclined to cheat in a friendly competition and yes, it's hard to prevent in the long run. Let's just hope it won't happen (again) any time soon

A good balance is exactly what I like about our competition ! No hassle with having to submit INP-files, video footage etc. We want a friendly competition where nobody feels the need to have other submissions checked by video evidence or stuff like that.

I figured out a few things -- staying on top of the screen on Level 1, 4, and 7 is very helpful, and item points are doubled while in spinach mode.

ExedExes - 65,260

Tip of the day :

<spinach mode> double points activated </spinach mode>

Getting awfully close to my #3 score ....nice score Ex

Spinach in a can, I could never figure that out. I remember when I was a kid I would always look for canned spinach at the grocery store but I could never find it....

[hansolo77]

Its next to the canned beets, canned tomatos, etc. They actually have a Popeye brand. I hate spinach though.

No way! Cool stuff.

I tried playing this again today. The first stage is ridiculous, so many hearts to get. Lets see. I beat Bluto with Spinach, put a bucket on his head, punched about 8 cans being thrown at me, and finally made it to stage 2, yet never got on the in-game board. I wonder if there is a way to reset those scores so I can at least enter my initials. Of course, it doesn't matter on our board since I didn't even get to 10th's place's 20k. Oh well.

[Adultery]

The key in my game is to get to the 3rd stage and repeatedly punch the buzzard after every ladder piece.

[hansolo77]
