After listening to everyone involved in this issue, and rereading everything on this game, including the rules.. the following things will occur to Tropical Trouble... One, the rule used to remove Oscar G and one other player's score is as follows. RULES - ANY PREVIOUS TROPICAL TROUBLE PLAY IS NOT VALID FOR THIS COMPETITION (INCLUDING PREVIOUS PLAY UNDER OLD RULES FOR TT) The rule was posted to prevent players from using previous gameplay prior to the Sunday (July 7th) play from being used. However, as it is stated, it can be read to mean any play using the previous rule (top score wins) to not being allowed. Due to this, I feel it wouldn't be fair to simply remove from play two players who otherwise normally play and compete highly in the HSC competition. Due to the the scoring for Oscar G (3rd place) and the other player RoadRunner will be re-established back into the final score ranking. Finally, the INTV HSC rules have been amended to have complaints/challenges to ruling/decisions taken to private message to those involved, as threads themselves are to be keep for gameplay and/or cheering others on/asking how they did that! The goal is to keep the HSC enjoyable for all, let's keep it that way.

Again, I asked to keep questions in Private thread... When you asked, I thought you were talking about something you played that day thinking you were too late to play. You were not the only one that had their score removed due to not following the rules, which were specifically stated to make sure all players played from the lowest score - furthest along mechanic in the same timeframe.

The DQ lines were on both disqualified players before I set the scoreboard to final.... Please keep further arguments on game/scoring to private thread... thanks in advance.

nice to see mine and ur strategies were one and the same at the higher levels... New game going up tonight

game is closed.... updating scoreboard to show final. PS - wonder what happens at 100 completes? (Purple mountain?)

One last shot before going to bed... and I'll be honest, I originally didn't think Imagic planned too much with this game, but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words debunking that... enjoy the RED mountain! Good nite all!

updating scoreboard... Updated as of this post.

I can vouch for 6,7,8 getting faster than the dickens on the bridge, and if the patterns continues, I dont doubt Ig's post about 9.7

The die is cast... 6,700 (world: 8.7) I cant speak about world 9 yet, but Im very quickly believing that Imagic rushed this game to market, recycling BB's graphics and didn't test it, instead said f- it, let's just cheat, nobody's going to play it this long.

Okay... here we go... RULES - ANY PREVIOUS TROPICAL TROUBLE PLAY IS NOT VALID FOR THIS COMPETITION (INCLUDING PREVIOUS PLAY UNDER OLD RULES FOR TT) SUBMISSIONS REQUIRE A FULL SCREEN PICTURE (NOTHING CAN BE CUT OFF AT ANY POINT... FAILURE TO INCLUDE FULL SCREEN SHOT = NO SCORING FOR THE SUBMISSION) SCORING WILL SCORE ON "FURTHEST INTO GAME FIRST / SCORE SECOND IN AN ALTERNATE FASHION, (Example: both players complete 5 mountains, but die on the 1st section of mountain #6. Player 1 ends the game with 13,200 and Player 2 ends the game with 6,150. Player two would be awarded the higher ranking spot) WHEN POSTING SCORE -- Score must be posted as finishing level (five mountains - first volcano screen (or any variation of that notation) and then SCORE) Scores will be accepted from Saturday July 6th, 2013 (10pm central) until Sunday July 14th at Noon Central ONLY. Good Luck to all http://atariage.com/...ttach_id=297130 (for a pic on how the scoring mechanism for this game is determined) PS - Further requested changes to game rules ARE TO BE done via Private PM....

This thread has been reactivated in READ ONLY mode for a total view of how this game went from normal scoring to the special scoring that was done. No further posts will be allowed in this forum.

Ok, cut it out... Ignorama, your first score was NOT allowed as it didn't show the level progression. simply put... NOT EVERY GAME is going to be everyone's cup of tea... If I avoid games like this, then I get crap that "your only playing LNC/BT/FILL IN THE NAME HERE type games, why cant we have "tropical trouble" or another rarely played game.... I didn't actually choose this game, INTVDude did on the chat held almost nightly via Google+/YouTube.

game stats finalized.

10,550

Scores that qualify are updated.

Please refer to change in Post 1... thanks!

the light comes up on a nice grill, with the arousing aroma of bacon being grilled on the BBQ.... the cooker looks up, "Oh did you want something, like some bacon??? Come back in a bit, it'll be done sometime soon!". With that, he turns back to his bacon, grilling on the BBQ.

we'll start either tomorrow or Sunday with the next game...

There's more than 125 if you count homebrews, etc

Bacon kills two in a day... News at 11!

He must of had too much... wait for it... BACON!

I'm sooooo bored... sooo bored Im posting here lol
