Maybe the owner of it hated HW so much he removed it?

Same here. My neighbours might not appreciate the music, but I got through 40 games today.

I tried music, but I kept wanting certain songs or stopping to reply one. I put on a DVD I've seen before and listen to it - I do the same thing whenever I'm painting. I don't like it to be too quiet and there aren't exactly any good non-repeating sounds on that game.
But since I've seen the movie before - or, in most cases, a million times before (Phantom of the Opera, Alice in Wonderland (two versions) - I can easily fade into the game (losing all sound and movement around me, hehe ^^; ) without wondering what happened five minutes ago.

Not that it gets me very far... I only have, I think it was 12 wins? I keep wanting to do other things, or leave to do other things.

(Side note: The best idea is to turn all messengers off. Especially AIM! That one comes up right over the game...)

I am wondering why aren't roo island and kwark island competing for 3rd place?

Because the one in third place is the one who got the third-highest score the second to last round. It's what a Round Robin is - you lose, you're in whatever place you lost it. You don't get to play again, or it would defeat the entire purpose. So Krawk Island is third, Roo Island fourth.... and Faerieland dead last. o.o

Bah, how horrible. I had to go off and exercise my own pathetic graphics skills.



Absolutely to that. I cant get anything done when I have them up. Either something will pop in front of me, or I'll be so distracted that the other team goes and scores.

I usually stick together a playlist for as long as I think I can play, and if I get bored I can say 'well, there are only 5 more good songs left to play through' or so on. I keep trying to make the lists longer and longer, but good songs or not, I can only handle that game for so long. The worst things distract me too. Being a bad procrastinator, Im used to putting off work for trivial things, but making an excuse to stop playing because I suddenly got the urge to google the process for turning trees into paper is ridiculous. Im starting to think I need therapy.

Thanks that makes sense

I feel lucky. I got back today and rushed to see who won, just to find that the turn hasn't finished yet.
*goes to play*

Just won 9-0 against Haunted Woods That's my 50th win in this round with 2 draws. C'mon Darigan!

I apologize if I missed it in a previous thread, but has anyone been able to score more than 9 goals?

Wow, despite HW being called a "defensive team" they sure don't show it. The skill level definitely is higher, but no other team could score 1 goal on me almost every other game.

And no scoring higher than 9 for our teams. Even the super-goalie seems faster. Wah.

It's impossible, as far as I know. Firstly there's the time... it's 3 minutes for a game, isn't it? Or am I just stupid? So, since you lose 7 seconds for each goal, for nine goals that's 63 seconds off. 9 goals in 117 seconds means you'd have to average one goal per 13 seconds. Not too hard if you don't get any hard balls. If you get REALLY lucky and had fire balls all game you could get one score every 5+ seconds (Random guess, I never actually check the time but I'm sure most people get several this quick a game).. 72 seconds remaining if you're EXTRA times a million lucky.
So if you managed that or close to it, you'd then somehow have to get past super goalie - as in, super speed goalie that's impossible for me to get past.
I think someone earlier said they got past him several times. Maybe he's increased speed since I started getting over nine goals (like... last round, I think). And they said the score didn't go up.

I suppose that's one way to keep people from cheating. Anyone who tried to cheat with some sort of programme at the start (before anyone realised nine goals was the max) would be automatically frozen. And anyway, in three minutes plus the super goalie to keep you off for the last few seconds, it must be pretty much impossible for anyone to

(Ramble, ramble... I hope no one wasted their time reading that.)

ANYWAY.What I'm wondering, do the games we play get watched (or similar, by man or machine) even when we don't send score? Perhaps to check for cheaters, and also to make sure we send all our scores? If they keep track of actual games played to the end, rather than just sent scores, that might be a reason to send losing scores. If, say, you get one point for sending a loss - a point for simply playing the game and sending score - then perhaps it might do something else for too many unsent losses?

(As you can tell... I have done nothing productive all day. Heh. ^^; My brain turned to mush. I'll make more sense tomorrow, I swear!)

I usually end up with a minute left to twiddle my thumbs, so scoring more would be quite easy if it weren't for super goalie. However, in the beginning I'm certain I scored a 10th goal more than once and the game simply pretended I didn't.

I just realized that they're continuing the game until Wednesday. I don't know why, but for some reason I had it in my head that it'd stop Tuesday. Blargh. Now I'm considering going for my 666 wins goal instead of 500.

It's not possible to get more than 9 goals. Not because there's not enough time, but because they make the opposing teams goalie super fast after nine goals. If you do manage to make it in - which I have - it doesn't count the goal.

Thanks, I thought that I was losing my mind for a bit there. And that goalie does get real fast, doesn't he.
