2nd Annual CvW competition (December)


Recommended Posts

 

I´ll try it but my laptop hasn´t got a great CPU to use a "FRAPs" like solution.

I´ll have to take the "mobile camera" solution and see what I can get...

 

No, worries--a "mobile camera" video would be cool. Some of the other videos posted were taken like that and they are helpful. :)

@TrekMD: I see that you're working hard to defend your position, and little by little clawing your way back up. :)

 

You are now at position #14, having overcome Yeliz K. Good job! (Although I don't think Yeliz K. will take that lightly!)

@TrekMD: You are right, sorry. I updated the database with your previous score of 1,822 from last year's CvW, so it The Spirit Of Christmas Past achievement should show up now. I also added the Five Golden Rings... Of Life, for a total of 16 achievements.

We have a new entry from Miss Nour K., a little girl with a big boy score!

 

E-mail Entry: Nour K.

Score: 923

Level: 12

Miss Nour K.'s new score positioned her in the Top Elite Novice Elves council... until a few seconds later I received Vipp's new score, which catapulted him to the top of the Elite Novice Elves, causing Nour K. to drop back out of it. Such is life.

 

E-mail Entry: Vipp

Score: 1,249

Level: 16

Date: 12/28/2013 13:43

And there's been a surprising revelation... new comer Kabeka is none other than veteran player Karima K. in disguise! Now that we know who you are, we expect great things from you, Karima K., so keep on cracking!

 

With 4 more days to go, the competition is heating more than ever! Get your scores in while you can and defend your positions--or better yet, incur in someone else's place for the bigger prize!

 

Cheers!

A note about sniping:

 

Even though there are prizes to be gained, the Carol vs. The World! Championship was always intended to foster community and friendly competition, and most importantly, to have fun. The competition is open for anyone and everyone to participate, as long as they are willing to take part in our community or at least follow the spirit of camaraderie that we've tried to maintain. Our emphasis has always been in having fun, with the prizes being a nice benefit to reward the hard work and accomplishments of the top players.

 

As the end of the championship nears, concerns arise of unruly players submitting last minute entries with the intention of dominating the top prize categories. This goes against the spirit of this community.

 

This is why sniping, or any such tactic or playing technique that goes against the spirit of competition or is in any way unsportsmanlike, will not be tolerated. As always, the judges will have absolute discretion on the acceptance of entries.

 

With all that said, I want to thank you all for your participation in this year's championship. It truly has been a magical experience once more seeing everybody have so much fun with this little game and taking it to its extremes as I never could have imagine.

 

THANK YOU ALL & GOOD LUCK!

Finally made it to Ranger!

 

 

Congratulations, mphokie! I missed your post earlier, so I just updated the database and the leaderboard with your new rank. You are now in position #8, well planted in the Top Elite Ranger Elves category! :) And along with your promotion, you also earned a few achievements.

 

There's still room for one more Top Elite Ranger Elf in the room...

So I finally got my Intellivision up and running last night but I'm assuming any late entry from me will not be considered sniping due to the pathetic nature of my scores? :)

LOL! It depends on whether your intention is to "dominate the top prize categories." Your 300 point score will be banned if it was intended to be higher than Liduario's 17K. :lol:

Haven't been able to play much lately, but got a few games in. Best score tonight was 1307 :_(

 

Yesterday I had a slightly better game:

 

CvG_3150_12/27/13

I went into Twisted Toyland with 3 lives. Started Level 32 still with 3 lives and got demolished.

 

This score is only 2 points lower than my best score last year and it's only the second time I have ever broken 3000 points. This is pretty much where I plateaued last year. My four highest scores last year (2012) were 3152, 2935, 2923, and 2917.

I broke 3K today... That darn Toy and his ray gun! I need a tron deadly disk to block with!!!!!

Didn't bother with a screen shot... Way to many scores way above that!

 

Letting you all know... I am in it to "win it" that simply means, I'd like to improve on last years score. Not looking good so far. :(

@1980gamer: Post a score, show us your progress. It's alright. :)

Is it sad that I basically ignore all the scores posted by the adults, and in my head the kids 12 and under are the ones whom I consider to be my competition? :)

 

@cmart604: I wouldn't even say that... the kids posted their scores. :P

 

Seriously, don't worry if it is too low, just post a screenshot--show us what you've got. It's all good. Even my wife played posted her, *ahem*, "high" score. ;)
