Subject: Arcade notifications - You lose!

Written By: whistledog on 01/20/07 at 12:15 am

I notice that now when you lose a title in the Arcade, you get an automatic notification about it that looks like this ...

This is automatic notification from Arcade. <member name> is now champion of <title of game> because he/she beat your score. You can try to reclaim title

I like this, cause now I know who beats my scores and when so I don't have to search through the games to see what championships I lost ;D

I don't know if I like this feature. I don't get many championships but when I do I would like to
hold them for more than 5 minutes.  ;D

It was 20 minutes!

Sympathy karma point for you...

I don't like it either. Everytime I get a tropy now Jason comes back and ganks two.

I thought he was pulling me leg with that "This is automatic notification from Arcade. <member name> is now champion of <title of game> because he/she beat your score. You can try to reclaim title" line. After all, the PM came from him. It's interesting to note that automatic messages do not appear in your outbox.

Currently I hold four titles, so chances are that I won't be receiving any of these messages anytime soon. When I finally reclaim the title for Tetris, I'd like to see the look on Katkit's face! >:D

Oh yeah. That makes sense. Of the least-played games, it might be easy to get a top score on those, provided that the existing topscore isn't too high.

Tomorrow (Monday) I'm gonna see about reclaiming that Tetris crown...hopefully once and for all.

I don't like the notifications anymore.  Everytime I see that Red X (the mail icon doesn't show up in the blue color scheme), I keep thinking that it's a message that either snozberries or Red Ant has beaten another one of my scores :\'( ;D

I got one from you.

But I know what you mean about not keeping a title for very long. Whenever I get a really high score on something (that took me FOREVER to get), usually within 2 days someone else beats me. It happened on Bloody Pingu, Slingo Super Slots and the other Slingo slots.  >:( >:( >:(

There should be a rule against that.  It's not fair for n00bs to come in and take our scores away.

I caught KatKit the other day editing his/her profile, and I was like "Why would someone with zero posts edit their profile?"

One problem: loki 13 didn't beat my score, but tied it. It appears now that ties trump the older high score in every game now, which kinda stinks, but oh well.

Yes, and Katkit got another high score in Tetris yesterday! >:( While I have said before that it's not fair, I have learned to deal with it. I will not try to yank that crown back until I have a whole day all to myself...because I will probably need 4 hours or so to try to get 1,000 lines.

Word Scramble, I think, was one of the games I played only one time and got the trophy...must've been beginners luck or something. If you unseat me, I will probably have no desire to regain the crown. However, one of these days I will try to yank that Tetris crown away from Katkit.

I have a question that I hope someone can answer for me. How do you know how many champions you hold if you not in the top 10? The arcade stat board only shows the top 10 (the lowest number of champions is 17-which means I would have to hit that # or more to get on the list). Is there a place where I can see what exactly I have? I have looked on my profile but it is not there (like it was at one point in time). I really don't feel like going through all the games counting. Does anyone know the answer to this?

It gets wonky on me after the first little bit.
My flash is up to date so it isn't that.
If it's the game then it has got to go. 8)

When I play it, it starts out pretty normal, but then all of a sudden the fish slows down and things don't swim onto the page, they just appear and I die.
And I mean it reaaaaaally slows down.

oh worm catcher with the fish.  Sometimes it does seem to get really slow.  I know there are items that can slow the fish down and make it hard to see.  I think I have experenced serious slowdown on the game and mentioned it before.  Think I'll go play that a dozen times and see if it goofs up.

Using FF, the 4th game I played just seemed to end and my 5th game just ended for no reason.  On IE, I had slowdowns on my third game I had animation slowdowns and my 5th game my fish just frose, but it wasn't sick.  One again I say THIS GAME SUCKS!

Subject: Re: Arcade notifications - You lose!

Written By: Tam on 03/25/09 at 10:24 pm

I just played it again and for no reason it stopped on me and I died.
Then I played it and no worms came at all.
Finally, played it and caught 42 worms only to die because the screen froze and then came back with tons of other fish eating me!

Looks like it is going to be deleted. ;)

I've lost four crowns in recent weeks. Three were taken by a member called nsr and one by widget. I've no idea who they are, as they don't have any posts to their name. I hate when that happens - I've barely got a crown left!

Which made me think...When's the next sweep of members with no posts...? ???

Why don't he/she have a go at whistledog/ninny instead of picking on us small ones? :\'(

I've only got 5 crowns left, where I used to be in the Top 10 (eons ago). Wonder how long until...

Accounts that have no posts yet are active in the arcade are A-OK with me. 8)

You may ask why - and I will tell you.
They came to the site because something peeked their interest.
They found the arcade after they joined - only way to know an arcade is here, unless they are family members.
They play the games, and stay active even if they don't post.

Most times, I prefer it this way, because every once in a while you will get someone who doesn't post, just plays the games, you ask them to post, then they get all weird and you have to delete or ban them. Not fun. So even if they are quite - we like it that way. They play, they win, they lose, but the message board stays somewhat sane! ;) 8)

good point, but the Arcade was placed here for everyone's enjoyment. It used to bother me that Katkit was wrestling with me for the Tetris crown, but I'm kinda over that; I haven't had time to try to reclaim the crown (which I know would take a long time to do). Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more posts in this thread to read.

Welcome!!! :)

I know you've taken a crown or two away from me too...but that's okay because I don't really intend to try to get the crown back. :-\\ It's always nice to see some excellent players on these games, and I applaud them for their skill. :)
