OK, you caught me on stage 1. I hven't really tried with the barrel :) And I wasn't referring to you about 'not knowing what you are talking about,' I just meant it as a warning after all the uninformed posts on the MARP VOTING thread. So don't take anything personally.(posted 9328 days ago)I will try your settings vs. my settings over the next week, and ask QRS to do the same, and then make a final decision. I'm aware that my method does not completely eliminate leeching, but I don't see the necessity of completely eliminating leeching--just the possibility of infinite leeching. Many games, such as centipede, are basically marathon leeches, but it still takes skill to do it. Something like TNZS's leeching trick doesn't.
I think MARP is starting to lose perspective on this issue. Agreed, my score of 999999 is ridiculous, but only because it was too easy to score it, not because of how I scored it. That may seem like a very subtle difference but it most certainly exists.
Sincerely, Q.T.Quazar
