I said on the board posting that this isn't a personal attack, so I don't see why you would want to leave MARP over a minor dispute like this, nor do I like the fact that you have now placed me in a very unfavorable position with your ultimatum-- all of a sudden I look like a bad guy for bringing this up. As to your statement about completing the game three out of four times--it isn't that hard. I've done a run of four complete games, and was only killed on the fifth by mistiming the knife/fire trap near the end. I'm sure BBH could easily do the same.(posted 9624 days ago)Ego stuff out of the way, my problem wasn't with this recording as a regular MARP leaderboard recording either, although it irks me somewhat,and I have already discussed possible changes with gameboy and a few others. My problem is that the whole point of an arcade tournament is you get one go at a machine...and if you blow it, that's it. We aren't playing for demonstration (like Mr. Graham), or for credit, we're playing to see who can do the best on a single credit with the pressure (of an audience of some sort) on--the spirit of which your recording violates. We're playing with TG settings after all, the very governing body that runs these kinds of tournaments. No tournament of any kind that I am aware lets you take three or four back to back stabs at an event. You either get your one chance, or you get a number of chances, interspersed with other competitors. I admire your skill at this game, and I have no reason to desire a good competitor such as yourself to leave MARP, but I can't in good conscience say that I accept your recording as valid for a tournament recording. Nor can I honestly believe that you didn't notice that everyone else was posting single game recordings. I imagine your score will stand; that's fine. But as far as I'm concerned, BBH is still in first place and his will be the score that I aim to beat.

p.s. I know who Billy Mitchell is. A great Pac-Man player, but judging by his post-match interview, quite an obnoxious person.
