lemon games compo #6 - PARADROID

SLF · Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2003 9:52 am Post subject:

Final score from me:

91,335 (ship 4)

http://spazioinwind.libero.it/...id-hi8.gif

I was lucky three or four times tranferring from 001 to 8** or 7**, but I died a stupid death when Graftgold ship was nearly clear. I had only upper cargo, vehicle hold and shuttle bay left, but I made the suicide mistake to go into the latter with a 883... which was blasted to hell by a 742 before I could even say "Me moron" Sad

Anyway, it was a pretty entertaining compo, but I must say I still prefer Citadel over Paradroid, and the latter ranks nowhere near my top 30. De gustibus non disputandum est...

Time also for my final score:

145,865 (ship #6).

I also had a few lucky 'scrapes' when I got that score. As often as I tried, I just couldn't get near it after that. It's funny how often I got 'shot' just before transferring, starting the transfer with 001 and managing to complete it. Just couldn't manage to clear that sixth ship though, too bloody hard!!

Here's my picture, just to get my five points. I'm not a Paradroid-crack, and I didn't have the time to play Paradroid often these days:

I'm glad this compo ends tonight. I played it one time for this compo and a few times before it but I didn't had any fun in it.

Can someone answer this question for future compos? Is 00:00 GMT = 01:00 BST (British Summer Time)? I think so, but I'm not sure! Razz

5 points for me Razz

nowhere near what I could be, but to choose between Vice City and this... a game that recreates the 80's, or an 80's created game... not much choice I'm afraid Cool

Here are the final standings for the Lemon Games compo #6: Paradroid.
I'll put the general standings in the thread of Lemon Games compo #7 next week (or sooner if I can).
Next week I'll also have to remember to send the first 3 Paradroid scores to the ScoreLord, as we've thrashed the ones by the Llamasoft Lleague (OK OK admittedly they only had a week while we had 3, but still... Twisted Evil

)

If you spot any errors please tell me.

A ? after the score means that I'm not sure the person wanted to actually submit a score for the compo. If he doesn't say anything, though, I will treat it as a normal score.

Nope, I don't think so... I mean, GMT = Greenwich Meridian Time and, as far as I know, Greenwich is near London, isn't it? Wink

MTR is right however, becuase during the summer the clock is moved 1 hour ahead due to the daylight savings therefore British Mean Time become +1:00 hour to GMT, and Central European Time moves from +1:00 hour to +2:00 hours.

Wow, well played everyone. Kinda expected to get snipered by some killer scores over the weekend though, as I don't have internet access away from work.
@Blabgorious IV - I was half-expecting it to be you!

Again, well played everybody, see you all next round.

Yep, I knew that already, but ... I guess it beats me... so, during summer, the time at the Greenwich Royal Observatory (London) is... 1 hour ahead from the Greenwich Meridian Time? Confused

Yes it is a bit confusing... Wink

I think GMT stays constant, but spring to autumn the UK use BST (British Summer Time), which as I suspected, and Thunderer (what up dude?) confirmed is GMT +1. So I take it instead of re-setting the atomic clock (or whatever), they just mentally add an hour to get BST. I really have no idea! Laughing

But basically I get my answer which is: UK citizens can submit a score/vote on the final day of compo/voting until 0100 during the summer months...

I hope so. I just put in: scorername space | space score. That's it. Did I do anything wrong? Seems to me easy and user-friendly. Cheers.

As for the time subject, I'm with Thunderer and FSP: time for ending during summer is 24.00 BST (GMT+1).
