    No idea where I’m ranked... I assume still I’m gunning for 4th. Three of you no doubt will score higher then me by next week. 
     

    I’m having problems with my Smart devices navigating the pages ... that’s why I would appreciate a real-time leaderboard on page 1 of Utopia... but it’s ALL GOOD :) 


    I hit 2,600!!! My job here is done! Anything else is gravy. 

    I presume Jacob has a life that he leads and updates the scores as time/interest allows.  I've usually tried to avoid nagging him for updates as that seemed impolite.  It's all here in the thread if you don't wish to wait for the next update.  :)

     

    Congrats on the great score!!  

     

    (Looks like you're currently tied for 2nd with @mr_me)

    Who would have thought that success would come down discipline in this game more than reflexes.  I'm constantly saying "stick to the plan" to myself and usually failing to do so.  In Anti Pac-Man, you wouldn't go wrong if you never killed a single ghost and I find that remarkably hard to do.  Not meaning the incidental "he was in my way" ones, I mean that I'm still actually chasing them down for a measly 200-600 points and just can't break myself of that habit.  When I die, it's almost always the result of a ghost I shouldn't have killed.  They're just sooooooooooo tasty!  🙂

    I am so sick of Pac-Man and I generally don’t like the arcade ports on the Intellivision.... but Matt forced me to get into this one.... he kept nudging me, pushing me, and encouraging me... and I’m glad that he did. I really enjoyed my time playing it :) 

    That is pretty much precisely the point of the HSC. Try a game you wouldn't have otherwise played, spend more time with it than you otherwise would, and in the process get to know and appreciate the nuances of the game. 

     

    Another huge thanks to @JacobZu7zu7 for keeping this alive. Wish I had known about this years ago, but very glad to have eventually found my way here!!

    I just played with the left island for the first time and a hurricane came straight down and decimated my setup. 👎

    Yep, left island hits are generally more rare, but more severe when they do hit. If it's late enough in the game and you have money saved up, hurricanes are your friend. Fewer pesky people to house and feed... 🙂

     

    Overall, I love the 'hurricane alley' effect and how the storms do have general trends, but anything can happen. I had a single hurricane make *3* passes the full length of the right island today. It was epic!

    Yeah I’ve played a lot of Utopia, I just know Biff and some others here have a special approach. Just trying different things and seeing what happens. I’ve always loved the game!  I do appreciate it!!

    In my defense at the upcoming tribunal, when going for pure high score, I do not try to engineer the demise of all of my fellow islanders. I just don't encourage population growth. Have to keep the riff raff off the beaches so they don't spoil my view!
