The End Of Arcade ? Options

[NickTheGreek]

I have really sad news...

I recently found a tutorial demonstrating how a player can cheat the Arcade engine quite easily... I used this on some Affiliate boards and made scores of 10000000000000 for Tetris ....

Well, this could mean many things :

First of all, we could play for the fun of it and never takescores too seriously, in fact we could delte all scores once a month to give opportunities to all.

But people LIKE the competition and i can perfectly assure you that the members of yourforum have THE HIGHEST scores i have seen in ANY other board !!!

Honetsly, i got to forums with 1000-3000 games and the high score for Tetris is for example, 130k and in here it is 5 million ( made by me )

The cheat system kills honest players that DO struggle for a high score.

I am seriously thinking of doing something different to prevent cheating :

make a post limit of at lest 3 posts per day for people to play in the Arcade. This would definitely discourage outsiders to try to hack our system. But i will need your feedback and opinions on this, please post below...

Well like all games there are cheats for the arcade too; but like you said it is not how high the high score is but how many people are struglling to break it ...

Imo i really enjoy when i try to make a good record and some hours (or minutes ) later i see that someone was close to mine or has beaten mine(although i prefer to be the first ) so i dont really worry about it...

yourforum members are breaking the high scores one after another and that proves that they are really competitive!

So good luck to all and DON'T CHEAT!




P . S .

You have to know that if you cheat our lovely admin has also little patience for cheaters

I like the idea of having people post before getting the opportunity to play in the fun zone. Discourages cheating and encourages communication.
