Games Master Challenge has begun

[cybertrini]

I've got a bit of a weird question.
In order to complete some of the challenges we've got to send in scores from various flash games. Fair enough.
But what if I send in a score that's part of a flash game in the next challenge? And my score is too low?

Can I redo? It says I can't send in a score multiple times. And if that's the case, should I wait until the next day's challenge? Do we get a bonus for finishing the challenge on the same day it is issued?

I was wondering about the same thing. I am hoping that TNT had thought about it, but since they've not posted anything looking like an answer, I guess it's one of those things we'll be profaning about later, lol...

14/15. I knew that I should have just done all these challenges on the last day. Then I would have had the required number of flash game scores. Ah well. Guess I'll just do 5 more games and hope there was a point to doing them all on the day posted.

Can I redo? It says I can't send in a score multiple times. - "Playing the same game multiple times won't count either."

This means the same game will not be playable for the same challenge, as in you can't send the same game score 5 times to get the 2nd days challenge of sending in 5 game scores.

Scores are only counted for the Send Scores Challenge - once it is counted for that challenge it can not be used again for that challenge.

EG: I played Ice Cream Machine, Snowmuncher, Mop 'n' BopTubular, Kiko Racing, Jubble Bubble first got those challenges completed and those games ALSO counted towards my "Send Score Challenge" I then just choose other games to finish the challenge.

There are no bonuses for finishing on the same day, the whole challenge has to be completed in 7 days.

But what if I send in a score that's part of a flash game in the next challenge? And my score is too low?

For the 'Send Scores Challenge', it seems any score is acceptable. Only the games that require an actual minimum score will require you to meet that score (or higher) to win the challenge. Normal game rules apply - you can only send score 3 times a day, so if you have already sent your score 3 times for a game, you will have to wait until the next day to do that challenge.

EG: I played Splat-A-Sloth for my 1st Send Score Challenge. It is "Score Counted" for that challenge BUT I will still be able to play the game for another challenge.

Think Hard, Now...

Rate the difficulty of one qualifying Flash game.

Not complete

I tried rating the game itself as well as doing the top rating and nothing.. any idea what I am doing wrong?

Perhaps you were trying to rate a game that you had already used before?

Edit: Ah, nevermind, I thought you were referring to Day 1's rate the game challenge.

[Sylence]

I went down the entire qualifying list and rated every single game and still nothing.

Ghost Bopper on a laptop keyboard is killing me. It's gonna take me all day to scrape that [edit] 100 75 pts req'd.

I'm having this problem too -- although I haven't tried all of them yet. But then I completed the challenge for the first day "Rate one qualifying Flash game" by rating the difficulty of the game. So I wonder if that one got switched with this one some how?

[Sylence]

I tried rating the bottom game as well as every game on the top even ranking them 1-10 on every game and nothing.

[Pardona]

Yeah, I just tried something like that as well. It certainly doesn't seem to be rating a game 'hard'.

[Katdragon]

Ditto on the rating the games list. Precise instructions would be appreciated when someone smarter than I am works this out.

Edit: Popped over to the neoboards. People there think that it's a glitch and it'll be fixed when TNT get back to work on Monday. Shoddy workmanship if I do say so myself!


Just in case they decide I can't send a game that I've used for my "send the score of [number] of games" (well if they do that I'm in trouble anyway), I've decided that I'll wait until day 6 and then send scores like crazy.
The only other solution I can think of is to get the highest score I can on the games that I'm sending scores to.

What you need to do is set the controls to letters, so the game uses:

Code:

YUI
HJK
BNM

Then put the fingers of your right hand on IKM (righ finger, middle finger, index finger, respectively); left hand fingers go on YHB. That way you only need to move your fingers for UJN. This gave me 150pts easy on my laptop; hope that helps.

The challenge doesn't work like that. As I posted, only the "Send Score Challenge" games are counted for that challenge only. The games are free to be used on any other game challenge.

I am still unsure what you are meaning about your highest score. The Challenges state what score you need for that particular challenge - no previous score on the game will help you as you will need to play it afresh for the challenge.

Try not to over-think this. You are worrying about nothing.

Think Hard, Now...

It either a glitch or it could be a secret qualifying game that isn't on the qualifying game list that we have to rate (e.g. Capri Sun's Rabbid Droppings).

[Siouxper]

The rating game challenge appears to be glitched right now
