oooh smart. nice job.
off topic, this battleship thing.......i cant even win the three levels lmao

[Cyanite]

...you said you guess you would take my score off of the high score list, but you'd prefer a SS. The way you made it sound, it sounded like you'd take my 390k score given this circumstance but not in the future.

What the hell, if you would've just flat out told me I had to replay it in that conversation, I would have, but instead you choose to give me indefinitive answers to my questions and then posting what I needed here where I wouldn't be able to see them up until an hour ago, due to work.

[argo15]

The computers are cheaters ;/
Tass ur crazy, its all luck.

[Tasselfoot]

it's not all luck... fyi.

and cyanite, i would have taken your 390k. i just needed a SS of it. as i posted in the thread. there was no mention of that in our convo.

[Cyanite]

I recall asking if you would take my score, and you said you probably would take it, but you'd prefer a SS with it

You didn't just say "I need a screenshot or your score doesn't count" in our conversation, it sounded like you were going to accept it just this once given the circumstances or something.

[Tasselfoot]

um. you still need to submit a SS.... that's a basic rule of ANY tournament.


ps - credits paid to travman for 7th, liquid for 6th, cyanite for 5th.


AND... got over 57,000 in round 1 alone twice. died once on round 2, died the other time on round 3. 66k and 74k respectively. sucks.

I was 6th.

[Tasselfoot]

whoops.

[Doug31]

Wow, I'm doing quite well at this, but not a single one of my scores will record, and I'm not sure why. This isn't the first game this has happened to me on. Oh well, I have an ss, I hope you accept it.


Edit: yes, this score recorded!!!

Edit2: Wtf Total Time 24855 days 3 hours 14 mins 7 secs?????

[Tasselfoot]

nice score doug. i could have done that with one of my 57k round 1 scores if i had a bit of luck. alas, i didn't on either of the runs.

wtf how are u guys doing this. i cant even beat the first level without using torpedos

[argo15]

you might as well give up now Sprite-

[Sprite-]

hey fck u buddy

[argo15]

damn, had 46,000 on round one and died on round 2. cheat!!

[Sprite-]

... ass my highest is like 11k for round 1....u guys hack

[Sprite-]

ok i give up. you guys are hussling me somehow. there is no way u can be getting 40k+ on the first level... i expect an explanation after this round. ggs fun tourney tass.

Edit: just put this score up so i dont go down without a fight lol

[Tasselfoot]

lol. i've beaten that score twice on round 1 alone. 3 times if you count the 84k score that's #2 now.

if sprite is giving up, we can move on to round 11 now.

[Tasselfoot]

ok. Sprite quit over AIM to me...

and, for Sprite... the trick is to use your 3x3 bombs and uncover EVERY space. because each time you uncover another one of the 3 aids, you get 1000 points, which is far more than you get for sinking the ships. you only get a 1000 bonus for beating each level.

so, the key is to get a random generation that gives a LOT of the bonuses. so that is the luck. the skill is being able to figure that strategy out in the first place, at which point it no longer becomes all luck. just mostly luck.

also, i try and use the airplanes before the bombs, since you lose the ability to use airplanes or even find them once your carrier is destroyed. the other 2 you can use regardless of what ships you have left (i believe).


also... FINAL 3 FOR ROUND 11! Suicide Bob. A simple game, amusing game. Has strategy as well as luck elements. http://www.ffrcade.com/modules.php?n...=games&gid=200




good luck to both argo and doug! round will end in TWO DAYS (as my dad and his wife are coming to LA on the 1st). 11pm PST on July 31st.


edit: there are only 15 levels, and at least for me, the submit score is NOT working... so if you beat level 15, get the SS as pictured above before clicking next, otherwise you won't get a SS of your score.

ps - got 49,000+ without beating lv. 15. had 7 x2's in 14 levels.

[Doug31]

Well, here's my best so far. It could be better, but I think it's pretty reasonable.


Edit: small improvement:
