Yes, the bidding is rising fast, but all the recently active players are already playing this level so I see no reason to tell anyone to slow down.

The scores are already far more realistic than we have seen recently and I think that is okay because everyone is already playing. Hopefully it will push everyone to tweak and improve their solutions.

The winner of this one is going to need to experiment and try different things because I'm seeing a surprising variety of solutions. I don't believe I've seen the ultimate solution yet and it's going to take some creative thinking to find it.

Hehe. Only 1 day into the comp and we are already looking at squeezing out the last few dollars for the win.

I must say, that I have been working on this competition too, and I have a different solution to everyone else. I'm at work right now (so I can't try it) but I have an idea that could beat all current solutions if I can make it work. I say this as encouragement for everyone to look for different ideas.

There really are so many ways to do this one.

[markmadras]

I am tweaking an 838 but it's not there yet.

[V4nKw15h]

...and I've proved to myself that it's possible to beat all currently submitted scores. So this comp is far from over yet.

I've had the advantage of seeing many different solutions to achieve that, but there is one key part of it that nobody has thought of yet.

[Votart Silak]

Me "surprises" that hosters of contests say to us that they "cool". Give the chance for us to look all solutions and we can be "clever" also.

[ioncorpse]

He is trying to inspire us, nothing more...

[V4nKw15h]

Yes exactly ioncorpse, and thanks.

I'm here for fun only, and I've had the advantage of seeing all your excellent solutions. There is no way I could get a better score without stealing ideas from everyone elses solutions.

Sorry if you thought I'm trying to look cool Votart. That's wasn't why I said it. I just wanted the competition to be a good one and inspire everyone to play it to the max.

I have great respect for you Votart and everyone else on these boards. I think of us all as a bunch of friends enjoying a good game.

When I host, I always try to inspire and help whenever I can.

I build and shape my levels around neat unexpected tricks that I find randomly. Obviously I know how to do it very cheap because I made the level fit the tricks. I then try and inspire everyone to find them.

I think YOU are cool Votart. I'm always scared of you when I'm competing. You push me well past where I would normally stop because I know that you will beat me if I don't find something crazy cheap.

Ok, 834+
