Play on starting bridge 1 and last as long as you can. Everyone should be ready for this one since we played it recently.

atariron82 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Merry Christmas to sdamon(the Champ!),..you should enjoy this round As for myself, I may have cast 'snake eyes', since this is one of my weakest! I guess it's time for me to learn how to get past bridge 21, or else I'm fish food... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Well, i'll hold onto my pass and see if i can squeeze into the next round. 49,990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peedenmark7 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 so one has to win the round to pick the next? I thought we played them-picked in the order we committed to the knockout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DamonicFury Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) so one has to win the round to pick the next? I thought we played them-picked in the order we committed to the knockout? The rules were changed (before the contest started) so that zylon created a pool of 13 games (based on our picks and suggestions), assigning a number to each one that only he knows. The player with the 2nd lowest score each round (the lowest score player having been eliminated) then picks one of the remaining numbers. Zylon then reveals which game is next based on the number picked. Doing it this way means no-one knows what's coming up next... keeps us all on our toes!

It was requested that I "randomize" the games so the number is chosen by the lowest surviving score in a round. In this case, I was the lowest surviving score. Since I know the games & numbers, I deferred to next score to pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 My box of 5200 games came in mail, all games work but 1.. RIVER RAID! ugh, stuck on emulator... *sigh*, The only Atari games that go bad for me are Activision... those contact pins are too skinny and sensative. Anyway, this port of River Raid just gets more fun the more I play it! 68,700 ...on my second attempt, pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps sometimes. No skips requested and none granted this round. Anyone who uses one will have an * next to their name showing that they have used theirs.

JacobZu7zu7 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Round ends Monday night @ 9pm EST December 19th 2011 We ALL should really work on this game during the weekend! Since this game ends MONDAY night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this game ends MONDAY night. We AM. I make them one full week from when the "selector" picks their number. So we wind up with a 1-day break between rounds. A little time for the systems to cool down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZu7zu7 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Yeah that's good... 1 day off. I'll try that River Raid wedging technique soon, I don't have matches I don't think, so I'll have to use a q-tip or folded up paper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Still going. Will post my final tomorrow afternoon if I do any better. I'll be at work when this ends, but will use post times to determine eligible scores to within a few minutes of 9pm. 89,590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hope you do as it's a shame to get knocked out scoreless on a game you own. I see the "coffee" has turned black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
