I pushed staying up late last night but I had to go to bed. Got beat by all 3 people in this challenge I was trying to beat. haha
Dacoto: just didn't have the time with big brother to get the points in to beat you.
jaod: darn you for being west coast and beating me out by 20 points.
hotdog: I knew I wouldn't catch you but looks like you dropped outta the top 15 though. 8P
CONGRATS SPELEOFOOL!!!
Won yet another one of my challenges. 8)
Looks like I finished 4th, not bad if I say so myself. I can thank Scene It for the late push.
Apologies to everyone for stealing the show, but I couldn't just let all those challenge points go so cheaply.
My graph's going to look crazy tomorrow--like a quarter pipe or something..
I call it Spelo won!
go go gadget Speleo
As long as I place above you, it's win for me :P
Well, there is always the next challenge. 8)
Congrats on 100K Mango.
@hotdog...I used my 2K6 the night before it started. Was off last week and did over 5K then. I could always pull out Jumper though... ;-)
well I tried seems all my new games dont come in till tomz :(
I'm surprised that they arent higher either for a holiday weekend.
I know I was busy with Family on Monday and Sunday though.
12th?
Hollar.
I'm a little disappointed that with over 60 people and a holiday weekend, the top score is under 2k points.
I would have thought someone would have dropped a couple of Avatar/Jumper/Madden/2k6 bombs and taken a huge lead.
If I had known it was going to turn out like this, I would have made a real attempt to score more.
Oh well, at least I got back on the chart, for the moment.
welp, last day and 1st place could go any way.
will see who pulls out the win. 8P
Nope couldn't do it!!! I went to sleep!
That is until today's update :(
Yay, im in 12th!!!
unlocked all the games in the Pub Games tonight, the Spinnerbox was a pain in the ass to place in the tournaments though.
Oh and congrats again mango!!!! Now, if you think about it you could say you have 0 GS. Once you hit 100k its a whole new ball park!!! Well for me it is
Spelo I don't think I can let ron just steam roll us twice like this!!! I will have to get determined to score some points!!!
Well she has been at work while I've been at home. Good for me, just not sure if thats a good thing for everyone else.
yea, they have finally updated. woo hoo!!!!
Dang Disbron! In the lead again. Your wife not mad at you yet? hahaha
wooo I'm on the board!!! squeaking in at 15th.
Well we got one update, now just one more and it will show me on top. Got to score some more. 8P
Congrats again Mango.
Hmmm. things are not looking up for updates... Hope everybody is good at math! Put out those points...
CONGRATS Mango!!
I can't wait to hit my 100k!!!
100K
I think I have sixty but I am not sure
No update. That sucks. Keep the points coming guys. Speleo is going nuts with trying to get that 100 hours achievement Slim. How close are you?
Yay! First arcade completion! Take that Carcassonne!
i win!
weird there is no update.
wow! i can't believe this didn't run. 8( I wanted to see how many positions I moved up.
Booo. It's 1pm est and still no update :(
Yeah, I figured it out.
Almost done with the first play through.
Dame Speleo I think 17 hours is the max, cause it kicked us off...
Mango, you know there are cheats to the game?
Sure, lots, just not much time to go through them since it's the last weekend of my vacation. I've been trying to blow through games I've been sitting on for awhile while I'm off work (almost 20 I own and haven't played yet), and that was my 5th completion this week, so not much gaming this weekend.
Patience with the Kung Fu... Although the protect the artifacts missions may try any Kung Fu master's patience!!!
@Bucks... got anything to go with that Open Season...
Not everyone showed for my Naruto night otherwise I think it would have have worked.
ohh well, onto other games. AO2 recruit difficulity finished, Professional difficulity here I come.
I suck at Kung Fu Panda
atleast were down to just two TDK King Sloan's now. LOL
I already started school. :(:P
see everyone next weekend for more fun and zero just a idea maybe you can call the next one the "back to school" challenge???
good luck everyone :-)
12th here I come!
Hopefully, I can bring home the 670!!! lol I will be trying sorta!
If you'll look down towards the beginning of these comments you'll see how many points you'll get if you win 1st - 3rd in one of my posts
3rd, I think they get 25% of the total score
yeah, what's the lowest position to get paid out??
Is 12th still ftw?
sup guys, i just came here for the ride. 67th place here i come!!(Well 64th when the TDN thing gets fixed)
240 points is the biggest so far.
Squidpunch is looking into what happened so will see what the outcome is. once fixed the participants # should drop by 3.
Good luck! Curious to see how big of a hole I will already be in when I get home from work.
good luck everyone!
I see TDN 4 times also. I'm thinking it will take over 4k to win this challenge, but with the holiday weekend, maybe more.
Man i should of waited to play too human...i already banked 745 pts in it
Doh!
Wasted those 50 points x_x
Well good luck to everyone.
@Zero - yup, I've got the TDK King Sloan guy on here 4 times also.
Good luck everybody! Yeah, I probably should have saved that for today lol! But it was College Hoops 2k6 and I felt kind of cheap using that in a challenge. Don't know if I'll be putting up points like the last one, since it's the last weekend of my vacation. ;-)
actually 4 times on my screen, straight weird.
Darn it, I accidently clicked on the screen while doing something else and I erased a post from somone. Luckily I had a 2nd screen up with that post still on it. So sorry TDN King SIon. Here is the post you had made.
"Weird I went up a few points but it dose not show.. meh time to break out some games I haven't played yet :P "
Actually, now that I look, you're actually showing up in my challenge twice. Weird.
Yeah, no scoring points out of Stallion and Majin. You have the GSL starting next week.
awww too bad I have to hold back for the GSL.
I'm back, sort of, busy with PAX this weekend so winning will be unlikely but I'm still looking forward to participating. Good luck everyone.
Ahh it never fails when a challenge starts day 1 I have a road trip....I may have to buy a new game just for that....
They are still showing the 50 points I got yesterday, so I think some people won't be scoring as high as it looks. I got 20 already today, finally found all the intel in CoD4 after finally getting Mile High Club yesterday, giving me 1000/1000.
Zero I don't think it's reset for today yet. If it has you're right, we're in trouble...
Good hunting everyone.
With everyone's score in this challenge, there is a Total points gained of 3,592,002.
Crazy!!!
Fshguy: yea, the winner of this challenge will get 670 points, 2nd will get 335 and 3rd place will get 168. Not to shabby if ya ask me.
I just hope Buckswana 1250 score is not counted or I'm already out of it. hahaha
Whoo hoo...fun!!! ;)
67...should be some nice points for somebody!
GL All
Fish
Alright, I've launched it and in 3 hours and 43m the fun begins.
Good Luck!
