Atari 2600 Knockout Round 14: ESCAPE FROM THE MINDMASTER

I wasn't online yesterday, due to family partying... I would like to ask if score #78 cparsley was IN by 11:59PM EST.

 

Based on AtariAge time it was... but, this score at post #78, is vital to elimination.

 

On the post, it says it was posted at 12:02 and edited at 12:22. Jacob, where are you seeing that the post came in before midnight? Maybe Albert can help with this one.

Time shown by the forum depends on your settings on Atariage account, e.g. Vocelli's post, here in Brazil, shows as posted 9:06 am.

 

The time is off by one hour. Right now it is 8:05am. But the post reads 7am.

 

So if Jacob settings are right, he probably knows the exact time... I guess...

This is how it went. I poster my score at 11:27pm est. Gorfy posted at 11:29pm. Then I logged off at 12:01am. And went to bed. Cparsley's score was not posted until 12:02am and then edited later. Looks like I move on.

 

I guess the score was posted at 12:02AM EST, I thought maybe it was 11:00PM, because I wasn't online to monitor the last few scores...

 

Got some luck Vocelli...

 

unless I am proved wrong, but I think cparsley missed the deadline, on a winning game.

 

His points will count in ranking score for this game, but I can't accept any mins off the Knockout time scale,

unless a tie-breaker.

While I wish it to be otherwise, I will not argue with any decision of any judge... I more than likely would of been out on Kaboom! anyway...

 

Since this seems to be my swan song, let me say a few words if I may...

 

It's been great fun to play with each and every one of you, from the ones I couldn't even tough (like the 1m scores on MegaMania), to the nailbiters Ive had more than once this series. This is what I had in mind when creating the series for Atariage. Great competition, great play by everyone, trying games which you haven't played (or normally wouldn't of played before) (only one of this KO I had played previously was Yars Revenge), and trying to see what you could do with the limited time you had to make a go at any game, genre, or subject!

 

Vocelli, since your the one it seems that eliminated me, I have one word for you, TAKE IT DOWN (poker parlance for win the whole damn thing dude!) As for the rest of you, good luck as the competition will just get harder from here...

 

As for me, this isn't the last time you'll see me, as I'm already in the final, awaiting the winner of this KO (from the NES KO), so game on (and rock on everyone!)

Atari 2600 Knockout Round 14: has claimed its victim...

cparsley (unfortunate late score)

 

However, he can still show up (everyone here too!) and post scores and be ranked for the upcoming games ...

 

Points will be awared for his 500+ score.

 

I could not pass him in Knockout though, as it's 11:59 EST. to the min. Any game must be completed and posted by deadline...

 

...upload the screenshot later on, if anyone is posting at last min, it could make all the difference....

I wish I'd been around for this. Somewhere there's an archived thread in which I and one or two other forums members were posting scores around 625. I can still pull that off to this day. The thread has plenty of strategy in it, IIRC.
