Who is Ryan Pullen anyway and how do you know he's on MSE? (I'm not contradicting this info btw, just being nosey!).

I never play these games, the scores always seem impossibly high so seems a waste of my time.

I only managed to score 600 and I put a comment on the FB page asking how they decided on a winner. When they said it was the highest scorer I told them that I wouldn't be entering any more because of the cheating allegations. To me it would be a waste of time trying to beat the cheats - I have lots of other lovely comps to enter on here!

There is a user on this forum by that name who funnily enough has commented on posts in the past about people cheating. But I keep seeing his name on the RAC Tournament. He had some 2730 scoreline the other day which I thought was ridiculously high and rubbish, but since RAC claimed it gives people the better chance at certain times we could give him the benefit of the doubt. However low and behold once week one was finished and 2 started, there he was again with a high score, and they do say lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot so....

Funny RAC say the 3800 was possible yet when they had free reign over it to try they could only get 700 odd.

Just thought I would throw these up on here. Think anyone who has played it can agree it is impossible to hit every tool that falls as some fall with non tools on top of them. The Bogus Items can be reduced, but doing that 100% means a decrease in Tools collected.

Don't waste your time and effort Biker*Chick as you have zero chance of winning. I got onto RAC about this the other day about the cheating but could tell they were not interested at all. They also claimed the maximum you can get is 3800 and that the amount of tools changes whilst you play.

Well I was pretty adamant I did not believe this and I went and researched and downloaded the software most of these cheats use to test the theory. Did this for a few days with help, and I can tell you that the same amount of tools drops every time, I slowed the game down to 0.1% so I could hit every single Tool and not get any wrong. And every single time I did it at different hours over the past few days the number of tools dropped at the same time on the clock and the maximum score you can hit is 1680. Go check the leaderboard and you will see a few 1680's, apart from one of this boards members who is top of the leaderboard and just so happens to have a Mathematics Degree & Computer Engineering Degree.

I also waited for it to get to midnight tonight to see the new empty table as it should be. It wouldn't let me log in even though a new week had started, and when it finally did let me log in around 23 minutes later, miraculously in the space of 2.5 seconds of me logging in new names had already appeared on the leader board with max scores and even became listed above those who scored maximum yesterday lol.

The game is rigged. People on here tried to talk sh*t to me that it wasn't.

If you were using the software most of the cheats use why couldn't you get to the top of the leader board?


No need to research anything, instead of playing the game just count the number of correct items as they fall, I counted 75, which gives you a potential bonus total of 3,000 and an item score of 750, an overall total of 3,750. Your method of cheating clearly cost you lots of points.

(Not saying people don't cheat but the potential high score is far higher than yours, just 50 items has a possible high score of 1,875)

I have never seen the bonus reset, perhaps that was caused by the cheat method you used, after a run of 60 the bonus for that go would be 300 making the total bonus at that point 1950 plus 600 for the items making 2550.

Nothing supposed about 75 drops, instead of playing the game just count them as they drop.

Based on 75 drops a maximum score of 3750 is possible, which is right in the area the RAC have said it is.

LOL Nice try MJM but no. The only thing I did was slow the game down, no hacking or trickery required. Basically you are making an argument when you actually have no clue... Am I right? Have you actually managed more than 20 in a row to see the bonuses continue? I doubt it.

You keep making this theory, yet I have played it time and time again FACT and the game is the same, the maximum you can get is 1680. Go check the Leaderboard and see what the top score is and please stop being a numpty.

If you could get 3800 trust me. I would be at the top right now with 3800.

I don't need to check the leaderboard, you have said in previous posts there have been scores over 2,500.

As the RAC have changed the rules so you can only win once there is no point in the big hitter returning for another go.

mjm3346

Why would the RAC lie about the highest score possible?

Assuming they have not then the bonus cannot just reset at 20.

I must say that I'm a little disappointed in compers who appear to think that these kind of games are okay. We all know that any game like this will be hacked and cheats will win - it happens every single time.

Quite apart from that, and as I pointed out to the RAC on FB, it is totally unfair on anyone with limited dexterity.

A PS4 is a high value prize that an awful lot of people want to win - I have no doubt that the high scorer each week will either be the same person using an alias or friends with the original cheat. I also have no doubt that most of the consoles won will end up on ebay.

I've no idea how anyone can defend these types of competitions to be honest.
