Subject: Competition Anyone?

Written By: Suicidal Blonde on 04/12/07 at 3:34 pm

Who do you feel competes with you the most in the Arcade?

Tokjct ( whom I nicknamed Toxic)  & Whistledog are always on my tail  ;D

I do always seem to be beating your scores ;D 
Generally, the arcade moves so slow, I usually just click games that I see have been recently played lol

I get competition mostly from Red Ant and tokjct. 
tokjct usually beats my scores of games that I Don't play all that often.  I have fun beating Red Ant's scores ;D

Everyone seems to be all over me lately. I just can't keep up with Red Ant, whistledog, tokjct, Hot Rod and the like... There's too many games to play, and too little time for me to play them.

If anyone wants to take my scores, so be it. I've stopped competing. Right now, I only play random games (with a few exceptions).

I don't compete as much anymore either.  I usually just go into the arcade, and play the latest games that have been played.  There's so many games in there now, the only way to play them is random it seems

I don't feel like anyone is really after me.  I make myself a challenge by stealing from champions.

KatKit (who still has ZERO posts) has been battling me for the Tetris crown for ages now.

My friends,  I just discovered this message board tonight...(this morning...it's almost 3am EDT).
I want everyone to know that I very much enjoy the competition...and now that I know there is a discussion board relating to the Video Games, I'll be over here as often as possible.  BTW...Parasites was a hoot!  But I really enjoyed ROADBLOCK. 

When I first began to participate in these games, I was blocked for a while and told that I had to post to the discussion groups...which I do as often as I can.  I've had a few interesting bits of discussion...  Since I'm am a member of the OFOA (Old Farts of America) I have shared a few ancient memories with some of the relevant groups.  I kind of agree that someone who doesn't post anything on the discussion boards is really missing the reason for belonging to an association such as "In the OO's". 

Anyway...I'll be around these discussion groups (now that I know they exist) and I really hope no one is upset by some of my, (what shall I call them)  ..."take aways" of the championships.  Aren't these games supposed to be "fun"? ::)

peace... Lee (aka tokjct)

Well Lee...as far as I'm concerned, anyone constructively contributing to this board is a welcome member. :)

So...welcome aboard, and enjoy your stay.




Of course, this doesn't mean I like people taking away my trophies - but that's an entirely different story. ;)

It's alright if you take away trophies.  I actually don't mind losing some of the ones I got, cause I like the challenge of trying to win them back :)

There are many games where I know I cannot ever reach  top...(some of the mah jongg games, for example)...so I just see if I can get the best score I can for second or third or ninth place...or whatever!

Ms. Blond, I hope you don't think I was after you...It just happened, coincidentally,  that when I started competing, our paths crossed on a lot of games.
BTW... The town of Tok Junction, Alaska, is the place where my Army mountain-climbing expeditionary group had it's base camp when we climbed Mount Wrangell, back in May 1965.

That's ok by me. :) I know I've already swiped at least 2 of yours.

Tetris was one of them, though I think you took the score away from the person who originally took it away from me lol

I've been stealing from whistledog and red ant because I know they like the challenge.  Is anyone else extra competitive? or should I not worry about it and start attacking all of you?

That's true. Technically I didn't unseat you; I unseated the person who unseated you. And that person and I have been playing cat and mouse with the Tetris topscore. :o :o

I honestly never thought I would get beat in that game.  On another board I used to belong to, they had that same game, and I had a score of a little over 1,000,000 that stood for close to a year until they removed their arcade.  I retired the undefeated champion ;D

Omg... did they have the same version of Tetris that they have here?

I find that whistledog, red ant, and wildcard have taken a bunch of mine, but I don't specifically go after the high scores of others.

Some of my scores seem to be untouchable (cricket, sandwich stacker) although I wish others would try. My  Military snow score might actually be unbeatable

I know I've recently taken one from you, but I don't think I've taken a bunch from you.

I just take what I can when I can... no hard feelings I just suck at a lot of the games and revel in delight with the ones I can actually conquer... ;)
