Presenting The Official Coffee House Christmas Arcade Contest!

The way it works is simple: set as many new high scores as you can between now and 31st December 2012 at 11:59pm GMT. At the end of the year, you'll receive 10 posts for every new high score you've set; and the person who sets the most new high scores will receive a Posted ImageYellow Ribbon if they set 10 or more new high scores.

The following will count towards your total:
  • Beating somebody else's high score on any game between now and the end of the year;
  • Improving your existing high score on any game between now and the end of the year (if you're the current Champion of that game);
  • Setting the first score on any game which currently has no registered scores between now and the end of the year (this includes the 5 games I just added).
The following will not count towards your total:
  • Any high score you set, which gets beaten before the end of the year (so only the highest new score on each game counts);
  • Any scores set before this topic was posted.
  • (UPDATE 21/12/2012): The high score on "The World's Hardest Game". Instead, this game has its own special prize: 100 posts are automatically awarded to anybody who completes it.
So, I think that's it. If you have any questions, ask away - but if not, then good luck!

I have a score of 147,526 in Ztar which is first place. Does that count?

Yes, as long as it's still the top score at the end of the year.

(Also, well done!)

Are you keeping track of this or do we have to post our scores here?

I'm not officially keeping track - I'll only do an official count at the end of the year (since your high scores only count at all if they're still the top scores at the end of the year).

If you want to keep some kind of unofficial record of your achievements (and/or anyone else's), then you're welcome to use this thread for those purposes :) .

Also, I'm changing the rules for "The World's Hardest Game". Having a high score on it no longer counts towards your total - but instead, I'm introducing a much better prize: An automatic 100 posts for anybody who completes the game before the end of the year.

Just over 3 days to go, and here's an unofficial count of the scores so far:

PL-Stokie: 8
Michelle: 1

Keep playing!

Since I made that post, Daniel has set high scores in a further two games, so the final scores are:

PL-Stokie: 10 (100 posts, which he'll decline, + a Yellow Ribbon)
Michelle: 1 (10 posts, which I can't give her, so she'll have to do it herself)

Congratulations!

Eh... I guess myself 10 posts. Don't think it really matters.

Now that I've awarded the ribbon, I'll archive this.
