    I wish there were a way to make DMCA takedown requests a bit more burdensome on the claimant. Cloaca has nothing to lose by slinging these around every time they see their trademark name being used without their permission. What happened to Cardillo's "hey pick up the phone let's talk about this" approach he claimed he would take with fans?

     

    Seems the penalty for misrepresenting a claim is "actual damages plus court and attorney fees." In the case of the Thingverse people, I would think most people are posting stuff for free, in their spare time, as a hobby. So there's no "damages" to award.

     

    Makes me want to buy up a bunch of brands as a group, just to give them away to the community. What do you suppose Cardillo's price would be to go away?

     

    His asking price would be too damn high because that moron has delusions of grandeur about how much money there is to be made in a niche market (the very market he alienated).

    Any MK8 Deluxe racers here? Not looking for "pro rooms" or "clans" or any of that other garbage; just looking to enjoy racing online. If enough members here are interested, I could create an AtariAge tournament (unless one already exists).

    007 James Bond (Beginner): 41,450 pts.

     

     

    Beat the game without losing a single life on the final run in the video. I believe I figured out the bonus scoring. It does not account for the life you are playing on, but rather the ADDITIONAL spare lives you have. With all five lives intact - four additional lives in reserve - I got a 12,000-point bonus when beating the game this time (3,000-point bonus per spare life for 4 additional lives = 12k).

     

    Before touching the ship: 24,450

    After touching ship: 29,450

    Beating game: 41,450 pts

    43,600 (Beginner level) 005 Completed game

    This port is odd in that even with the successful completion of the final board the message is still "Goodbye Mr. Bond", instead of "Good show, Mr. Bond". With "Goodbye" usually indicating failure and "Good Show" a successful completion. Dugger's video clearly shows the bonus points awarded and rating of 005 after docking with the sunken ship.

    I do believe though the complete finished rating on advanced is 007 and 005 for Beginner. Anything below those indicate incomplete at the final board, usually from touching the ship anywhere else other then the antenna relay.

     

    I don't know if remaining lives figures into the bonus score at the end or not. It is something I'm curious to figure out, however. I started the final level with 21,750 points; I had 24,450 points a moment before touching the ship; after touching the ship, I completed the level with 29,450 points (seems like every level's goal is a 5,000-point bonus). After completing the level with 29,450 points, you see that the game is over and my final score is 38,450 points (a bonus of 9,000 points).

     

    Do you all remember if you got a 9,000-point bonus when beating the game? I'm curious to see if everybody gets the same amount or if remaining lives factors into the number awarded.

    At first I thought duncantomi's Skill 4 Pepper II record would fall, but It is a tough score to beat. Dugger takes this round, congrats! Thanks to everyone who played!

     

    Very difficult, indeed. I haven't had much time to play thus far this season, but I put a lot of effort into this game in this round. There were times when I thought I would get Duncan's record, only to quickly lose multiple lives. Failing to break the record wasn't from a lack of effort, that's for sure; I played many sessions for over an hour yesterday and just couldn't do it. It's quite an impressive record.
