Because you can play as Peach. Next question.

Fixed

Geral and genre scoreboards updated. *Fixed as well.

Final scoreboard posted.

Aye, but I at least need to see a computer monitor, TV or laptop on the picture, even without the tag to consider it, specially with a score that high. I am sure he can fix that within the remaining time frame.

I had counted it, but now that you pointed out, it doesn't have the player name on screen nor the full screen can be seen. I am rectifying that and removing the score for now.

Updated the scoreboard with the current standings.

@Jeevan Our game picks for the contest come from a lot of experience, blood and tears from what went wrong on the previous 10+ years of weekly contests. And even the we are still prone to errors (see Mario Bros). So the best way is to just try, adapt on the go, put aside games that don't work and keep going forward. Also, yes, you can always reach me if you have doubts about anything. Good luck with whatever you are planning!

Scoreboard posted. Right now, to get a top 8, you need to beat 1,100,000 points!

If the score attack timer wasn't only 2 minutes, I would have went with it. For now, I think high score is the best option to go for Recca. And it is Wednesday. Bit too late for a significant rules change like that.

It almost killed me on that 2016, 2017? tier 2 finals as well. It is now getting what it deserves!

Geral and genre scoreboards updated. @bertsampson maintains a REALLY comfortable lead over the people tied for 2nd.

I can't believe we had 6 players tied for 1st this week. This game is now BANNED from the weekly contest!

I will post the final scoreboard tonight. Thank you all for participating.

Why would him? To lose to a 1,000 points Phase 2 score because Phase precedes score?

You should because no one rolled the score before phase 29 so far so... I have the margin to still introduce the following rule before the end of the day: "If you roll the score, you must stop playing on the start of the next phase. That phase will be your max progression for that attempt. Eg. If you loop the score on phase 10, you will have to stop playing on phase 11 and take your picture." You all don't want me to do that.

No, it doesn't. And I am almost feeling like being evil here and making it so that if you max before phase 29, you must stop there. And thus one would lose for maxing the score before phase 29 because we favour progress.

We have two men tied for 1st so far. This is good. I will update the scoreboard tomorrow morning.

If you roll the score, be sure to take a picture just before you roll the score and right after you roll the score. Rolling the score will considered as maxing the score. IF YOU REACH PHASE 30, YOUR RUN ENDS THERE. TAKE YOUR PICTURE IMMEDIATELY IN PHASE 30. Point racking is allowed. Highest phase wins, with score being used to tie break (Ex: Phase 30 - 300,000 beats Phase 12 - 999,999 points. Phase 12 - 999,999 points beats Phase 12, 100,000 points).
