Monthly Online Game Tournament

[Kif]

So here's an idea I thought of for the whole video gaming community on here

Each month, we will have a different tournament for an online game. It has to be one everyone can play, and it has to be free

The idea is that you play the game, and with your highest score, you screen shot it and post it on something like Photobucket or Tinypic, or your own web space if you have some. Then at the end of the month, the highest score will be crowned the winner of the tournament.

The high scores will be updated daily by me in this post, although it may be every few days depending on how busy I am.

Rules:

PLEASE don't cheat. By this, I mean editing pictures in paint or something. It ruins the whole idea of the tournament and puts another whole in this community.
You can post as many scores as you want, assuming that each one is higher than the last.
If you've seen a score which has been posted which is higher than yours, don't post it. There's no point, and it's just wasting the time of the community


OK, that's about it. For the first game I've chosed a simple one. The helicopter game. Nearly everyone is familiar with this, and has played it at sometime in their online life.

The idea is to get as far through the level as you can. To make the helicopter go up, press the left mouse button. To make it go down, let go.

Have fun and happy gaming

High Scores:
1. cKy_heartagram - 3002
2. allofmeoliveme - 2777
3. -
4. -
5. -

I don't have a digital camera ?

[Kif]

I don't have a digital camera ?
If that's a joke then bravo

If not, when your turn has ended and the high score is shown, press the Print Screen button. This will take a picture of the whole screen. Then just paste it in Paint, save it and upload it

[Rancid Dan]

Oh cheers.

It was no Joke.

[angry armadillo]

I like this idea a lot :)

[Rancid Dan]

All it has is a blank white screen.

[Gnarmageddon]

Excellent idea.

Hopefully that will be large enough....

EDIT: Ok, it should be big enough now. 1681, even though it probably won't hold up.

SECOND EDIT: ARGH! I can't get it big enough.

[theredwonder]

This is going to destroy my life :(

[Rancid Dan]

Kif,
Because the game you posted won't load on my computer,
Can we use this version instead ? http://www.hurtwood.demon.co.uk/Fun/copter.swf
I don't know whether it's the same or not.

edit - yeah, it looks the same from the screenshot the other guy posted.

nice score !
I'm struggling to get over 600 at the moment but, i'm sure to improve !

[Gnarmageddon]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/allofmeoliveme/copter2777.bmp

2777.

[Kif]

OK thanks for posting another link. Looks like allofmeoliveme has the current top score, but if this is running throughout Febraury there's loads of time to kill yourself trying to beat it

[Kif]

P.S. - Try saving it as a .JPG so it will be bigger

[Rancid Dan]

This is rock hard, i just got past 800....

[Kif]

I was 42 points away from the high score!? So frustrating

[Retrovertigo]

I was 42 points away from the high score!? So frustrating

And I was 10.

[theredwonder]

bumped. Best i've had is 2070.

[Retrovertigo]

I thought this would've actually worked.

[theredwonder]

Same here, I thought it was a really good idea. Damn you lazy Mxers!


EDIT: :amaze: Check out the time on my last two posts. Freaky deaky.

[Retrovertigo]

http://tinypic.com/1ikdir

o noes

[Gnarmageddon]

Bump.

And I'm just curious...What do we get if we win and when is the deadline?

[theredwonder]

I'm pissed. Kif came up with this and it's a really good idea, but if noone pays attention and partakes then it'll suck. Come on, it's something to do when Mx is slow.

[guitarded_chuck]

We used to pass the time at school playing these games.
*gets ready to own*

[Gnarmageddon]

I still can't beat 3002. I've been playing this game way too much.

[guitarded_chuck]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/guitarded_chuck/untitled.jpg

Not the best I've ever got. I'll try some more later.

[Kif]

This is still around? Ah well, should probably update the scores now there's enough

[Klown]

I can only get 608. :(

http://tinypic.com/1ny16u

[Kif]

Bump.

And I'm just curious...What do we get if we win and when is the deadline?
You'll get to decide the next game for the tournament I guess

And you'll get pride. Yeah, I know, crappy deal

[Klown]

New highscore - 1070

http://tinypic.com/1ny3h1

I've wasted too much time on this, need to get back to coursework. :(

[theredwonder]

Kif - are users only allowed one entry each?

[guitarded_chuck]

We should get this stickied.

[Gnarmageddon]

What about rep?

[monokolopo]

how do you do screen shots?

[Gnarmageddon]

how do you do screen shots?

I'm pretty sure it was already answered earlier in the thread, but press print screen and then paste it into paint. Save it and then host it.

[Klown]

We should get this stickied.

123 on that.

What about rep?

I though about mentioning this, seem like a good idea. :thumb:

[monokolopo]

i dony understand

[even if they were canadian]

This game is great. Great idea, as well.

[Klown]

i dony understand
What do you not understand?

[Rancid Dan]

I have got 1200 as my best so far....

[Gnarmageddon]

It's pissing me off because I can get to like 2000 but then I'll come to a section where it's impossible to get through.

[Kif]

Kif - are users only allowed one entry each?
No, you can enter as many times as you want, but you're only allowed 1 score on the high-scores. So your top score will go up and replace your previous one

[Rancid Dan]

Kif - rep + for another cool avatar

[Rancid Dan]

WOAH, i came on today for the first time in 2 days and i got 2315 !

I will have to figure out how to prove it.

[theredwonder]

Swot' i meant. Only one "final" entry.

[Rancid Dan]

I can't get my picture on to the site ?

[Gnarmageddon]

I can't get my picture on to the site ?

What do you mean?

[Rancid Dan]

I have it saved in paint but if i use it as an attachment it won't work, i tried to host it on tinypic but it couldn't find server or someit ?

Please help.

[Gnarmageddon]

Please help.

Have you tried making a PhotoBucket account?

[Rancid Dan]

no, i might try now.

edit - I've got an account but it said "cannot find server" when i tried to add it into my album !

This is so annoying.

[Gnarmageddon]

no, i might try now.

Try again in a few minutes.

Just jokin, nice score. I'm gonna try to improve on my high score. So when does this intense comp end?

[Gnarmageddon]

How do you save it as a .jpg?

[JMann]

aw, you beat me :upset: http://members.lycos.co.uk/jmann11285/images/helicopter.jpg

[Rancid Dan]

How do you save it as a .jpg?

When your saving it in paint or whatever, just where it says 'files of type' click down and select '.JPEG'

[Gnarmageddon]

Thanks.

[Rancid Dan]

No probs, i just hope more people enter and make an effort as this is a great idea.

[OperationWalrus]

Sorry to be an absolute tit but how do you print screen. Is it a button on the browser or what?

This game is so addictive!

[Gnarmageddon]

It's on your keyboard next to Pause/Break.

[OperationWalrus]

Oh cheers, thanks a lot. Haha!

Being an *** yet again. When I press it, the computer seems to pause for a second and then goes back to normal, I can't copy or paste anything. Help if you can please. :thumb:

[guitarded_chuck]

I think that this is a great idea, but maybe it should only be a week long for each game?

www.addictinggames.com has tons of ideas for this.

[Rancid Dan]

A month is good.

The winner should get loads of Rep and is going to choose the next game.
If it was only for a week not enough scores would be submitted for it to be any good.

[Gnarmageddon]

Oh cheers, thanks a lot. Haha!

In paint, you have to press the select button (looks like a box made out of dotted lines). Make a box (it doesn't matter what size) and then right click and paste.

I suck at this game.

[BigTrav415]

Used to rock at this game, dont anymore. High score: 1186
Print Screen person, you have to press Alt + Print Screen. Took me forever to figue that out :lol:

Actually you don't.

[BigTrav415]

Actually you don't.

What, you dont actually have to press Alt or I dont actually rock? Please be more specific in either your insult or your correction, por favor.

Like I said, I used to rock. That was my high score after three rounds after not playing it for like six months. My old high score was somewhere in the lower 3000s, cant remember. Used to be real bored in school.

And the Alt thing, on my keyboard I have to. Weird old keyboard. Works like a charm though.


http://www.1up.com/do/imageDisplay?id=1487974
Sometimes I really hate this game's randomizing blocks.
958 IS NOT MY HIGH SCORE.IT IS FOR THAT SESSION OK?

[Gnarmageddon]

I was correcting you, but I didn't know that you had an old keyboard. My apologies.

[Retrovertigo]

Wow I pwn.

[Gnarmageddon]

I'm pretty sure that you're going to win. I say this round needs to end soon. This game is getting old.

[Gnarmageddon]

Oh yeah.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/allofmeoliveme/copter3496.bmp

3496

I tried RancidDan's advice, but I still coldn't find how to change it to a jpeg.

[Rancid Dan]

Nice score, i've lost my touch for this game i think..

[Gnarmageddon]

I'm getting sick of it.

[Rancid Dan]

Not suprised with the score you got - must have took some practise

[BigTrav415]

Someone win already so we can play Stick Avalanche 2 or something. Or we could all grab our headsets and play some Multi-Flag CTF on Coagulation >-D
that would friggin ROCK

[theredwonder]

If i may say so myself... EDIT you mother****ing idiot.

[Rancid Dan]

Shut up Big Trav, read the rules.
If you want to play a game of your choice you have to win.
And the rules also say it has to be a game that everyone can play, i.e an online game from the internet.
Now go get the high score.

[Gnarmageddon]

When is this one going to end?

[Rancid Dan]

End of month.

Kif still has to update the high scores.

[OperationWalrus]

I got 2773, and I finally figured out how to print screen, thanks for the help.

I'm gonna beat it! Or not...

[RD 2]

I havent tried in ages

[OperationWalrus]

I got 4066, is that a new high score?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v498/OperationWalrus/helicopter.jpg

somehow it printed my desktop also, sorry about that

[RD 2]

Yeah, nice one !

It's the top score at the moment.

[Gnarmageddon]

Nice score OpWalrus.

To the person that wins - I have a good suggestion for a game if you feel like taking one.

[OperationWalrus]

If I win I am certainly open to some

[Gnarmageddon]

http://tinypic.com/1scv2d

I need a new finger.

[OperationWalrus]

Nice. Also an ace avatar.

[The_One]

Oh. Play something at orisinal. Those games rock.

[BigTrav415]

No its a bit late about the extra posting... my internet was screwed up, and the edit button wasn't working, so... sorry.
*begs for forgiveness*

[Gnarmageddon]

Should I go ahead and make a new thread for March since I won?

[Kif]

Jesus, I haven't been in this thread in ages. Thanks Dan for reminding me

Yeah, I don't think the high scores was ever going to get updated, sorry guys. I organized it weirdly

Well done to allofmeoliveme for getting the top score, he gets lots of rep and the next choice of game!

Everyone congrat him and rep him

[Rancid Dan]

I will.

[OperationWalrus]

Nice oliveme.
