Forum Tournament Round 1: Just a little fun

lilbud

@backstander Even a Twitch stream would be difficult, I dont have the best Internet as it stands, plus, I dont have a capture card

lilbud

@Brigane English is my first language, and I still screw it up

meleu

@lilbud I meant "be prepared to loose your muscle tension and play more relaxed". :-P
(nice try, huh? :-) )

BuZz

Phoenix is such a mean game, but also very addictive. Remember playing it years ago at an arcade.

Had a few games earlier and go up to around ~9000 - still quite far off the top score currently.

Brigane

@lilbud haha no worries, I also f**k up my own Danish language all the time, its actually kind of embarrassing 😂

lilbud

I'm calling it, the game for this weekend is......New Rally-X. Start your engines

Brigane

Awesome, GL, HF everybody 😆

lilbud

I had an idea. How about we have a scoreboard where people can post scores and screenshots? I just made one in Google Slides. Anyone can edit it when they get the top score, and put a screenshot there along with it.

Try it out and tell me what you think.

To be honest I like the way we did here, posting in the thread. I think it repects the KISS principle. Unless the @administrators think that the screenshots will overload the server...

[Edit] We will start a new thread for the round 2, right?

lilbud

@meleu I just made it up, and thought it was a good idea

meleu

@lilbud I enjoy your art, mate! I would like to see my name/hi-score/screenshot on that card (because, you know, I'll win the round 2). But I don't have enough intimacy with CG softwares to make it as it were a trivial task... I'll try to make it anyway! :-)

@lilbud Now that is something I'd really like to do. If I can ever get something like working on my end, count me in.

meleu

@mediamogul I've got a straggler over here! It was here where the fun began.

@lilbud prepare your heart...

Where's my thug life sunglasses? Oh, I've found it...

I have to be honest. There's a bug/glitch/cheat in the second stage that gives 200,000 instead of 200. 😌

Google about it ;-)

cyperghost

Really nice :) BUG...

meleu

@cyperghost Wow! They dissected that bug!

cyperghost

@meleu Yes, that's living for retro if you hunt bugs more than 30 years old :)

lilbud

@meleu Would that count as a legitimate score since you got it with a bug?

meleu

@lilbud let's abuse the bug and reopen the tournament!

But you're still the winner of Phoenix-with-no-bug-abusing tournament. :-)

lilbud

@meleu Yeah

Phoenix [ANY%] glitchless winner - @lilbud
Phoenix [ANY%] glitched winner @meleu
