Show Of Force

Snizza

Think it is time for MSE'rs to step up again and put on a show of force to complain to RAC.

Another Flash based gaming competition where people are cheating using programs to get impossible high scores. No doubt it's probably people who use these forums as well.

I never bother with games unless at least some of the prizes are random, this like quite a few of them, is much easier if you are using a touch screen instead of a mouse.

Other than cheating, these "fastest fingers wins" games discriminate against people with disabilities.

It's not really about how easy it is MJM. It's the fact there are people using flash hacking programs to enter their own scores. Anyone who plays the RAC Game can clearly see that no matter how good you do there would be a limit to how many points you could get. Other people, one guy on here who I mentioned before entered his own scoreline with at least 1400 more points than was even possible to acheive. If people don't step up and voice their opinion to the company you just allow cheaters to carry on winning.

How do you know the highest possible score?

I would estimate it to be somewhere over 2,500.

I've had a little rant at them

I don't bother with Flash based competitions anymore. Not worth the effort when a hacker wins.

There was one a while back, maybe 8 months now, and I was position 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 on the leaderboard. I'd tried so damn hard to win as I really wanted the prize for my son. Anyway, on the final day of the comp I was no longer on the leaderboard and all these new IDs had appeared with totally inhuman scores. I stopped playing Flash comps that day.

Second go I made over 800, with almost 50% "wrong" hits and very few bonus runs (thats with an old roller ball mouse that sticks a bit as well).

If 60 correct items drop in the minute that gives a possible 60x10pts plus all the bonus points (25 +50 etc upto 300) = 2550, (if 65 drop that would be 2975)

I would suggest OP that you play better to achieve a higher score. I am sure such a score is achievable, particularly if somebody has already achieved it.

I am guessing that if there is an app available for sore losers, then its only a fair advantage if you join them in using it, it beats stamping your feet and sulking like a big girls blouse.

lol I've played the game numerous times now. 800, 50% Wrong and few bonus runs.. No that is a blatant lie.

I get 800-950 near enough all the time, that is with me gettin 80-95% Accuracy, Hitting over 90% of what comes down, which it would be impossible to hit all, and in the 60 second limit.

No offence but I know for a FACT you are talking rubbish about them scorelines.

HA! Like I said. STEP UP!

Anyone who thinks they can bang out the big scorelines, step up, live viewer, let us see you do it.

Simple as, don't reply telling me it's possible again unless you want to come show us all how you do it yea?

Unfortunately, I am not as obsessive in playing such games and certainly do not intend to enter competitions based around playing an app.

Will happily play a good game of squash or football with you, so long as its not in any form of digital format. Now that's a real challenge.
