His weird days, ya. And the Devil sometimes has evil days. Also, there's this one guy, goes by the name of Fabio-Don-Juan-Cassanova who sometimes gets into a romantic kinda mood... P.s.

The rule is very important, but since it's obvious from your photos that it is your pc running in the background (which is the whole purpose of the rule to begin with), I'd say that it is sufficient in this case to follow precedent and your score would go through... The contest at this point is more akin to a small league of people who all know each other and post the same damn tvs and computers every week. Also, despite all your paranoia on the subject, no one is cheating an nes competition with nothing on the line but pride. Especially this one. That rule would suffice as a mere guideline at this point 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact there is a clock on VGS too, but it's only in the dark theme desktop version (hence why wiz probably has never seen it if he uses light mode). EDIT: I checked light mode and apparently it is there now. It didn't use to be though. Anyway, I'm glad I get to stay undefeated in the puzzle game. Even bert's update was still a couple thousand short. Edited November 29, 2021 by 0xDEAFC0DE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even bert's update was still a couple thousand short. The clock is there in light mode, but it is static rather than running live like the one on NA used to, so you actually have to refresh the page to update the time if you've been in the same place for a while...

I honestly didn't expect Bert to come in and beat my score, and the fact that he popped in slightly late, but had he posted it earlier I may have actually tried.

NESfiend | 1,515 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 You know this thing is exciting when this is the latest @Bearcat-Doughas been up on a sunday all season. I cant decide if I should post my first golf score. Ive already given away that I like the game, but I also gave @Jeevana lot of shit for sitting on scores.

Jeeves, your thoughts at this juncture in the competition? You've already got a Golf score If she keeps the 1 v 1 for Round 2, your opponent is going to be just as dead in the water as deafcode's opponent was in Round 1.... Damn!

Krunch | 303 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 1 hour ago, the_wizard_666 said: Perhaps a one-day playoff of a random game? We both have one day to put the best score up in a game of the peanut gallery's choosing. Might be the fairest choice, but then it puts off the actual bracketing (although scores could technically still be earned). Also ends up giving whichever one wins a one-day handicap on the round of 8. Well, for what its worth, no bracket played the Ninja-whatever game.

Damn! I said my first score. Not a monster, but nothing to scoff at sunday night either. I will honor jeeves call on posting it, douglas. I really should be playing soccer and tennis, but cant help myself. I may end up way in the negative on those and waste a great golf round.

Krunch | 303 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 @the_wizard_666 Yeah I gave it a quick go when I was still deciding cause I knew my choice before it came (also since I wouldnt have picked the puzzle). It seemed really fast and busy and just a tough forward slog. Choice was clear for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
