ZillaRUSH Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 Exactly!! Final score will be 150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Just to make sure i understand the rules we play against computer and the difference between our score and computer is our score? Bummer. I thought that it would just be our absolute score, ignoring the computer. The reason is that I had hoped to play 2 player against my wife.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I played a bit today and I'm happy with my scores so far. I probably won't be able to play again until Sun/Mon, but you guys better practice. I'm over 400 already. FYI, i'm sure this was intentional but in Grandma's Boy Alex's final winning score was 420. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Here's mine so far. Me minus computer = 305 in 2 separate games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Just as an experiment, in separate games from above, I attempted to see if there was a way to mess up the computer. Player only converts to a computer if the controller is not touched after a period of time. If it is already a computer, you can touch the controller to switch it back to player mode (and leave it sitting there for a while). The main reason I did this was to see what happens if someone tries to bend the rules a little for our Frog Bog league. Here's my experiments and what I found: As soon as the computer took over, I tapped on the player 2 controller disc to switch it back to player mode. Thus, the frog sat for a while, jumped once by the computer, and jumped once by me. Repeat as necessary. Result: found that the computer took over about 8 times or about once every ~20 seconds. Tried setting player 2 frog into "hard mode". In other words, the disc and side buttons control the jump direction and the tongue. The idea was that if player 2 frog it required to jump periodically, could it be made to jump ineffectively and not catch any bugs (and thus a lower score). Result: found that as soon as the computer takes over control of player 2 frog that it is reset into "easy mode". You have to set it back again into "hard mode". Not tested: does pressing any button prevent the computer from taking over? In comparison, the disc causes player 2 frog to jump, risking it accidentally getting bugs and scoring points. Did any of this help my league score? Result: no. Time spent paying attention to player 2 frog took time away from my own frog. To minimize the computer's score, you have to pay attention to the time that has passed as well as having it jump when there are few to no bugs on the screen. While I was able to suppress the computer's score, I hurt my own score even worse. What was a more effective way to suppress the computer's score? Focusing on keeping the screen clear of bugs with my own frog. With fewer bugs to catch, the computer's score went down the better I performed. In theory, someone could get a 2nd person to operate the player 2 frog and send it into the water all the time to keep it's score at 0.

Week 1 (4).jpg That is a damn impressive score! Week 2: "Detroit Rock City" ....can someone break 500?? Will someone win "The Golden Tongue" if they do?

ZillaRUSH Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Week 2: 435 - 60 = 375 total. First time ever breaking 400 on Frog Bog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byte Knight Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Golden tongue winner! I switched controls from Fixed Arc to Direction & Tongue and broke 500. Unfortunately I spend a lot of time in the water which allows the computer to rack up some points. Differential score of 375. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Direction + Tongue is the best way to play! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 BTW, anyone notice the typo in the manual? The manual says the tiny gnats are worth 35 points but the game only awards 25 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
