When I can offer the real score

Happy Birthday, Votart (too late, but something:)

You can raise (or show exact) your score at any time I think. We don't have strict rules.
If I was you - "common sence" tells me that 30hours til the end is normal time to show real score (+-20$), but when I'm revealing my real score - it gives information to others, using which they beat me

[Votart Silak]

ioncorpse, thanks for congratulation

So I thought my light solution was about as good as it got. Maybe tweak a few dollars here or there but still quite close.

I was building based on normal light rules. Then I read that breaking stuff was suddenly no longer dark. So I rebuilt my solution.

Then these new scores come in and I'm scratching my head wondering how you managed to get them. They didn't seem possible.
Then I think of jackhammers and realise that now jackhammers are considered light. Oh ffs.

That is ridiculous. Breaking stuff and Jackhammers have been dark forever.

I started to play AR2 because I was looking for light competition and now it's darker than ever.

I have no intention of rebuilding my solution to incorporate a two plate jackhammer (which I noticed works). It's against the entire principle of AR2 and the reason I came back to play.

I hope I'm wrong and you guys have created something I simply haven't thought of, but I'm outta here until things get sorted out.
I was sick of people abusing and finding ways to cheat the game, I'm still sick of it. I hoped AR2 had solved that but it seems not. The current competitions are darker than they have ever been.

Incidentally, if I played against my principles and finished my jackhammer solution it would be 2900+ easily. It would also be the darkest "light" solution I've ever seen.

V4nKw15h, you are right: my solution is dark, but rules are that. We now should open as much as possible errors connected with a dark side for their further elimination.
