What's up with the mandatory reset on BB?

Certain initials on the scoreboard triggers cheats for one.

Certain naughty words entered into the high score table enable bigger bonuses in the next game.

I suppose it's inevitable that almost every Japanese game producing genius of the 1980s was an awkward middle aged virgin who thought the word SEX was funny

**Dr_SaGe** · 01-25-2015, 05:56 PM

Can we start on Easy, Medium, or Hard on Tetris?

**Wolf** · 01-25-2015, 05:56 PM

any difficulty

It actually has a lot more to do with the counters in the game. There is a point item in each stage, as well as a useful item. The useful item is based on counters; bubbles blown, steps taken, jumps, water bubbles popped, and pretty much everything you do. So, you could very easily rack up certain counters for a scoring run, including the one for clearing 777 levels that generates potions three levels in a row. That would be a huge advantage over someone resetting the game each time. The initials thing, too, though.

Gents, it has come to my attention there is dissention between members of my team. It seems Simpsons has refused to cooperate with one of my other members. Now, not being one for drama in my ranks, i have a tough choice to make.

Got it, thanks. So does this effect how we would submit a score here on RU?

Shouldn't...the game would be a fresh boot every time you start it up or hit F5, and you're not supposed to play more than 1 game without hitting F5 to reset it.

**Wolf** · 01-25-2015, 10:51 PM

use this for submissions

A couple of questions - I submitted a score on Tetris to RU, but not long afterward I beat that score and submitted that one as well. Is that allowed? Will the better score be counted and put on the RU high score board?

Secondly, if I submit a score to the Olympics scoreboard and later beat it, can I submit the better score to the Olympics scoreboard?

**Wolf** · 01-25-2015, 11:16 PM

yeah you can do that

**backdoorfred** · 01-25-2015, 11:51 PM

I cant submit a score for Mars Matrix.

**Wolf** · 01-26-2015, 12:01 AM

on the site or the scoreboard?

**Jason L. Davis** · 01-26-2015, 12:59 AM

That layout looks familiar...Lol

**backdoorfred** · 01-26-2015, 01:05 AM

Scoreboard.

Hi.

I submitted a "low" score and it worked. Now that i raised my score i can't submit it. I think the lenght of the numeric format is too long for your database ;-)

In mamescore, we decided to delete the last 4 digits of the score (in yellow in the hof) to be sure the database accept tis looooong score ;-)

**Barra** · 01-26-2015, 03:50 AM

I'd say Sawys is right. Wolf + Alex will see this tomorrow and adjust accordingly
Just hold fire with your submissions for now (the other games should be going fine)

**BiggerJ** · 01-26-2015, 06:21 AM

I found a possible typo in von's score for Zoo Keeper - that or he's just that good.

Also, I submitted my RU scores before they were verified on the site - is that okay?

He's that good. He has scored close to 50m previously.

Yes that is fine

He really is that good.

**George Riley** · 01-26-2015, 06:55 AM

OK, what did you do with the submission button to submit scores? I don't see it anymore.
