Angry Jedi Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hello! Newbie to the HSC here. I am allowed to enter halfway through, right? I'd forgotten how much I love this game. It's super-simple but super-addictive, plus it's very well-designed so that when you mess up you know it's entirely your fault in most cases. My score on my second attempt since going back after many, many years... 30660. Not bad! Made it to Bridge 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellE Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) Sorry I haven't had a chance to update in the past few days. I will get to it as soon as I can.

Being pregnant with a terrible toothache doesn't prove to be too conducive in getting things done. I'm resisting a whole host of jokes there, just Hope you feel better soon (the toothache part) Hope you don't mind but I've done a quick table so far (probably almost rightish), bridge numbers in brackets: 1. therealbountybob 93,420 (43) 12 2. deteacher 73,860 (34) 11 3. chuckwalla 68,050 (35) 10 4. jetset 67,840 (33) 9 5. roadrunner 50,980 (26) 8 6. darthkur 44,490 (24) 7 7. angry_jedi 44,070 (24) 6 8. kurt_woloch 39,790 (23) 5 9. vectorman0 39,000 (?) 4 10. goochman 34,230 (?) 3 11. Divya16 34,010 (20+) 1 12. spookt 30,770 (14+) 1 13. mimo 29,170 (19+) 1 14. gwobby 24,670 (?) 1 15. a8isa1 15,170 ( 1 (this is bridge 8 in brackets and not a weird little face) 16. bluecat 14,750 (10) 1 17. TimsterAA 12,990 1 18. AB Positive 9,290 (5) 1 19. orpheuswaking 5,620 (?) 1 just one more thing: The war had been raging for many years, the river fortress had never been defeated, I always wanted to fly through to bridge 50 from the start, I once heard of another pilot being shot down on the 47th many years ago. It was early Sunday morning and we got the call to go... things started well and my squadron hadn't lost a man until there was an ambush over bridge 33... things got tougher and fuel became scarce. I was loosing support left right and centre, suddenly it was all down to me, I was nearly out of fuel again after wasting a depo under heavy fire, the canyons narrowed and the low fuel alarm sounded again, must make it to the fuel, I glided down about to ditch into the river. Fortune favours the brave, and I just made it over the refuelling point as the fuel empty siren went off... I destroyed bridge 49 with a barrage of fire, only 1 to go, dodging helicopter gunships and tank fire and navigating through some paint-scrapingly tight turns the bridge looms on the horizon. There are enemy boats and copters all over the place, not to mention the hot air balloons laden with explosives. "I'm gonna crash", "I'm not gonna make it" I radio back to base... In an act of bravery as I kamikaze down I let rip on the gunns and manage to blow up the bridge as I crash... mission accomplished... only one problem, how am I writing this... spooky Sorry folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being pregnant with a terrible toothache doesn't prove to be too conducive in getting things done. LOL! The toothache will be gone in a short time. The other pain lasts (at least!) eighteen years. I don't think it's a big deal at all, but maybe you should name bountybob or someone co-mod so he can update things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a big deal at all, but maybe you should name bountybob or someone co-mod so he can update things. Thanks... but there is actually already a co-mod. At any rate, these last two contests are the only ones that have taken longer for me to update. Prior to that they were all updated as soon as I got the email of a new post. I really don't think it is unreasonable to be a little patient, is it? How many other mods update the HSC within a couple of hours of scores being posted? I am sorry if I seem a little "bitchy" but you know I am doing my best here. Thanks again for the input... it will be taken into consideration.
