Utopia

30 rounds 45 seconds

Lost a point in the final round due to a hurricane in the final seconds.  It could have been worse; doesn't hurt to overbuild.

Nice score, but just checking, you are using 30 / 45 right? You should add that criteria to your post so everyone knows were all on the same page.... 👍

Added a little more text.

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

LOL .... YES .... I’m doing 45 rounds, 30 seconds each !!! C’non now !!! 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

I mean 30 rounds, 45 seconds each round !!!! C’mon now!!!   

 

I never lost a Utopia match in my life. I know exactly what I’m doing. I just forgot a few things. I never felt the need to play myself. There’s 2 islands for a reason  I wouldn’t play checkers by myself! 
 

But... it’s a popular thing on the internet to play 1 player Utopia... so I’m being a sport. 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

Besides, I’m still in second to last place LOL... you should be verifying the other (possibly PED) players!

He just means we usually confirm the settings (unless there are none like Pac-Man) on score posts. No one is questioning anyone's integrity. 🙂

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

Ok .. thank you! I thought there may be an element In there that I’m getting too good. 
 

I’ll write the settings next time. 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

Folks.... BOOOOOOOYA !!!! 
 

2,581 and I’m coming around the bend with Mr. Me in sight LOL

 

30 rounds, 45 seconds each. 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

I kept hearing people on the internet giving special tricks.... 

 

there’s no special tricks. It’s right there in the manual for heaven’s sake LOL. 
 

 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

I even read someone’s “reverse code analysis” with calculations.... 

 

actually....

 

it’s right there in the manual LOL. 
 

if a crop feeds 500 people.... you need 2 crops. Is a reverse code analysis necessary LOL 😂  

 

I guess, yes. The reverse code does confirm that 1000 people need 2 crops ! But did we need that analysis LOL 😂 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

Guys, I can’t keep up with your scores! What place am I in now?

 

can someone summarize our scores on Utopia nightly? 
 

I guess I’m gunning for 4th place   ... but it’s hard to keep up. 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

I mentioned the 2-player game because when your fishing boat is being chased by a PT boat and when your harbour is clogged, it’s a completely different game!!!

Yes there is a trick to get a perfect 100 points per round, and that is not in the manual.

Fair enough.... I know the trick. 
 

TBH ... I was a little freaked out that some people know some kind of scoring glitch that I’m not aware of .... but I’m glad to realize that it was within me the whole time. (Like Dorothy without her Ruby slippers). 

 

[INTELLIVISION SPARTAN]

Deep breaths coming up !!!   

 

Do you guys understand that I’m trying to compete with the best Utopia nerds on the planet... LOL

 

It’s intimidating

Yep, still trying to convince the laptop to go for fruit instead of ghosts, but I'll get there.
