Carol vs. The World 2014 Championship

Great work everyone! I see some marked improvement.

 

I've updated the official leaderboard as well as the top rankings and stats on the first post.

 

It looks like bcprc1 is aiming for Darrin9999's throne at the head of the Top Elite Ranger Elves table.

 

Meanwhile Emerson is now aggressively defending his position as the Top Elite Helper Elf.

 

With three weeks to go, and school finals concluding in a couple of weeks, it's still very early for anybody to feel safe on their seats. (Except perhaps for Fushek--that's some mighty score!)

 

Cheers!

Hmm... I just noticed my stats script is counting all the entries with a score and a level, even those with Perfect Score screenshots. This means that the "Last Stages By Rank" section is not really accurate, for it includes stages where the players did not die.

 

I wonder... could it be that Candy Cove is not really the deadliest stage? :-o

 

I'll fix the script tonight and then we'll know for sure!

Hey!

 

Well my older son has been kicking some butt at the game the last couple days!

I must say it seems the student has become the master at my house :D he has well passed my score and doubled his own prior high score!

He is beating me at my own retro games!! haha....I shouldn't be too surprised this is a kid who can snipe other players with a head shot at 300 yards while running in battlefield over and over again :P

Just a quick matter of time for him to master these old school style games :D

Looks like this jumps him onto the elite helper elf leaderboard :)

As for me in the little bit of free time I have had in the last couple days I have managed to become worse at the game :P

I only played a couple of times as I spent the bulk of my time digging out my ultimate pc interface, a set of sears controllers and a set of sticklers.

Only to have absolutely zero luck setting them up with jzintv and getting much more frustrated with that than I have with playing carol :P

Not sure what I am doing wrong...maybe some one can give some pointers....it would be much appreciated!!

With help from David Harley I made sure in the windows control panel that they are being seen by windows and all buttons and discs are being seen and working perfect in windows.

But jzintv does not pick them up what so ever! I dropped the hackfile into the bin folder and pointed the emu to its location...but nothing....

I have what I believe is the original release of the UPCI from august 2012...so I used the old version hack file David gave me.....but no luck with it....

Very pissed at it!! I thought the original controllers would maybe help me suck less! :mad:

Welcome, BallonFighter! I'm glad you could make it. That's a very good score for an absolute rookie. I encourage you to continue trying and sharing your progress. Also, if you have any tips for other budding new elves, please share them with us!

 

 

First score (playing in public transport)

 

Oscar G. 698 (I am very rusted)

Good luck to everyone!

 

Welcome back, Mr. G!!! I see that you are once again using your commute time productively. :lol: I do hope that you find some time to dedicate to the championship; I would like to see you progress beyond your previous scores, and maybe even show us a bit of yellow? ;)

 

I've updated the official leaderboard and the first post with the latest rankings and stats.

 

On a separate note, I would like to remind everyone that this Saturday is the last day to start working towards the 12 Days Of Christmas Carol if you want to complete it before Christmas. Of course, any 12 consecutive days in December are good, but after Saturday, it means you'll have to commit to playing on Christmas Day, or else forfeit your progress.

 

Cheers all!

RetroAl is a member of AtariAge, though we haven't seen him before around the Intellivision parts. Here's hoping that he makes an appearance and joins us in the conversation.

 

Welcome, RetroAl! Stay a while, and play along. :)

 

I've updated the official leaderboard.

After this game kicked my butt a few times, I dived back in and ended up getting a new high score!

I really don't have a strategy to playing this game, but my trick to aiming for high scores is to not let any emotions get to you. If you get too excited or angry, you just end up losing the game very early on.
