Someone (don't know if he wanted me to say who he is) just emailed me:(posted 10002 days ago)> I have to question Neil Chapmans Pacman recordings. He's a > fantastic player and his Ms.Pacman recording is incredible. > But the four Pacman files he recently uploaded are actually > the same file, not only has he used the same Pacman file for > Pacplus but also submitted them both for the speedup cheat > versions. Giving him 40 points for one game! Is that legal?
And I don't know the answer. Since I've always made the rules up as I went along, guided by what you guys shouted at me, I thought I'd put this out there, too.
My own feelings on this are that if he's good enough at pacman that he doesn't need to use the cheat then he should be allowed to submit a normal pacman recording as a pacman-fast recording too - he's at a disadvantage doing so, but that doesn't seem to matter. And... since I'm stupid enough to allow 2 identical games with just different graphics, then I don't see how I can disallow identical recordings for them... I guess at the end of the day if the recording scores the points he claims then the job's a good'un.
Non? Whatcha reckon?
