Congrats on the climb, Siniri!

I managed to beat Chadley's score on Hungry Skeith on my 3rd try. It took a little while to get the patterns into my brain and fingers. This is clearly one of the games I play just enough to beat the needed score for the event and do not play any other time...

[Pickles]

I second Blue's congrats on the climb!

Someday, I will get the avatar on this one, but...not today. Not after having been out in the heat all day long!

[Siniri]

Ugh. I should have looked at the list again to practice. Today's is my least favorite game ever (I know you love it, Pickles, but I don't understand why). Now I have to play it twice: once to see if I can beat Chadley's score and once to actually send. Blah.

Edit: the game wouldn't load, and so I actually looked at their scores. I'm going to assume I can beat Chadley so I only have to play it once... Now here's hoping the game actually loads this time!

Edit 2: I used this guide and had the requisite points at the end of level 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8w2pxicIQ8

And no, I did not play to get 1000 NP. I loathe this game so much. The guide certainly helped make it as painless as possible. The prizes are awful, too - I just don't even like the theme of the game. But meh. 14/14 for Chadley. Time to peek at the list and see what else is coming up.

Edit 3: My scores for Lost City Lanes have finally been reviewed and accepted. I received 524 and 611 NP for the two scores. The reviewing system is definitely broken when you can't even get 1k NP without being reviewed (though I can't remember if the scores were sent before or after game reset day).

[Blue]

My practice score from lost city lanes was also reviewed and accepted this morning

I do not hate Hot Dog Hero, but now remember that there is some sort of trick to it. My high score is ~15k.

Ok... So I only need to complete level 2 to beat Chadley?!? Seriously? WOW. That worked out well today since I need to leave for work in 15 minutes.

[Pickles]

Aaaaand his score was pathetic again. Meh. Such a shame for a game I actually enjoy playing. (I'm not sure exactly why I like it so much, but there's something about throwing pickles at enemies that is just FUN!)

I also got my accepted reviewed score today for Lost City Lanes. Guess they ran the review script on everyone's.

[Siniri]

Today was another pathetic score, though since this game is dependent on computer speed, I'm okay with that.

[Pickles]

Didn't do my best score today, but it was adequate. I hate games that are computer speed dependent...and luck dependent. You can get totally bad luck on this one on where the items get placed!

[Blue]

I missed my high score by 6 and easily beat Chadley. I guess I could do better with more practice and thoroughly memorize the map, but honestly do not see the need to do so.

ETA: Another game I don't play much... Still, Chadley's score is not very high. Aaand I beat it with a miserable showing on first try today.

[Siniri]

Another easy one. My high score was three times Chadley's, but I had to go to work, so I tried to kill myself off as soon as I got above him - took a while!

[Pickles]

Today's wasn't too much of a problem, but mostly only because I actually practiced this game in recent weeks...a fair amount. I dislike it a lot. Time to start working on Assignment 53 (if I have time)...since that's in 2 days, and I'm not very familiar with it.

Time to start working on Assignment 53 (if I have time)...since that's in 2 days, and I'm not very familiar with it.

Good suggestion. I am not sure that I have actually ever played that one, especially considering my high score is "N/A"

ETA: Strange... When I clicked Play, it now shows a high score of 1,851. I guess I have played it before!

ETA2: I remember this game.... :/

[Siniri]

I just practiced the rest of the games (except Assignment 53, which I nearly had the avatar for until I had to take a break because of real life). I'm most worried about AAA's revenge. It's the most tedious game, and I only hope AAA's score is below 100.

[Pickles]

Yeah, I'm worried about AAA's Revenge, too. Especially since it's the last day.

Maybe I'll finally get it together and get the avatar on this one. I've been needing to, but I haven't had the time to sit down and learn the game. I'm figuring I won't have the time this week either, so I'm hoping for a low-ish score for a change.

[Siniri]

Another easy teasy day. You only need 22 jubjubs (more items if you get lots of shells and no dubloons like I did). I phoned it in as soon as I realized I was high enough. What's the point in getting more?

Bart's guide is the one I used to chase the A53 avatar, if I recall correctly. I couldn't ever quite manage his scores on certain levels, and others I sacrificed quite a few points to navigate it more safely, but I got very close to the avatar. The beginning of level 2 is tricky to learn, but hopefully Chad's score will be below what you need for that.

[Blue]

I have to say, I phoned it in on Jubble Bubble too.

I need to look at Bart's guide. However, it would not surprise me much if Chadley's score was around 1200.
