I think I was 3rd, 2nd, 2nd for the team so I doubt I'll Top 5. Just looking for a mid-table finish and a good team performance.

Won't be a full reveal like before - but you'll get top scorers/scores in each game - then the bottom 2/top 5 as before - before the team results.

I look forward to being in the bottom 2 for all of the games. And that's not hyperbole - having never played any of those before, I submitted scores on my second go of Wonderputt (which I thought was being played for score, not par...), third go of RUA and first go of Solipskier because I just didn't have the time for any more. Erk.

Ten minutes remain!

Just submitted my scores now.

I've only had about two hours worth of play for them, so I don't hold out much hope (again, this isn't one of those "sob, I have done so badly" posts).

I didn't have the time for more rounds of WP so just had to go with my best of two rounds. I had a few goes of Skiing and RUA and have ran out of time, or I think I could have increased both.

Judging my what my team say, my WP score is poor, my skiing score is abysmal (I had to submit it though...). My RUA seems alright, but not enough to trouble the top. Ironically, I hate that game the most, but if I had had the rest of tonight to play, I think I could have performed well enough to trouble the top scores... maybe. Also, I think the age of my laptop in making the game jerky may have helped, as it slowed the game and my reactions down.

Yeah, it sounds like I am making excuses, but I just didn't have time to spend playing these Flash games due to real life. As a result, my scores are all very early efforts, which I am sure the more-dedicated players quickly surpassed on Sunday afternoon. I just couldn't devote the time to spending all day playing them.

I prefered Colour Wars though :shifty:

And this just makes me detest Flash games even more. After the results, I am going back upstairs to watch MGS2 some more. Nice, safe cut scenes.

Nice, safe, unicorn-free cut scenes.

I don't think the Devlin Memorial Squad are going to win this one...

Just one submittal remains...

Arguably, if you were going for points wouldn't your par be exceptionally good?

I think Delusi's got the Skiing win. I honestly don't know. It's really quite hard to judge based on what other people think is a "good" score.

And so it ends... now the real waiting begins

Ladies and gentlemen, it's just gone 10 o'clock, please now hold your colours as we await the results.

Interesting. I'd say you're probably the favourites based on hear say in the thread. Best average score remember, so if you've all done relatively well with a couple of wins then you're in with a great chance.

I think if there's actually a non-submittal, that changes everything. Especially if it were to be Team Mysterio again.

I go live at 10.30pm - just totting up the results - 24 submittals well done guys!

You may discuss scores between TEAM-MATES, but scores will have to stay secret until after Task Three! See you in a bit!

:/

Not really - if you're aiming for all the rainbow collectables, you'll probably take more shots than just getting in the hole.

Dammit, the fact there hasn't been a non-submittal must mean that Suzz someone broke through my knots this time.

Quite an accomplishment, considering what I had stuffed in his mouth.

But getting an Albatross is more 2000 more points than all of the rainbow collectibles combined, which makes it the more sought after goal.
