1. Done
2. If you use the FireFox browser, it has a built in spell check. Look at Kong's signature for FireFox.

Thanks.

that sounds like a good Idea the only thing i would worry about is people beating thier own high score to boost thier score like repeaditly beating a easy game to beat kind of like farming for a high score

Yeah, maybe have a limit to only being able to do it 5 or 10 times.
If you keep going the old scores would be deleted.

**oasis** · 02-10-2008, 11:34 AM

you would not have to put a limit on it like that just you best score get counted towards your ru score so if you dont beat your own score you dont get any points but lets say you already have second place and are getting +900 RU score points then you play again and beat the current high score you would get +100 for a total of 1000 for that game and you can never get more then that

what i would worrie about is could you loose some of your RU score for people beating you if so the easyest thing to do would be instead of grading on a curve for all those games you can get ties on just have it the top ten get points starting at 1000 ending at 100 so if you get in the top ten you get +score but goes back to beating your own score i think it should only use your best score so lets say i get a score that puts me in 5th place
i get +500
then if i get in 2end place i would loose the 500 then gain +900 and the person in 11th place would move to 10th because my 5th place would be over writen

I'm a little worried about losing the Trophys. How is the score ranking gonna look? I personally like seeing the top ten scores(or more) to get an idea of how people are doing at the game. Please explain more. Oh and when is this update?

**Kong** · 02-11-2008, 11:43 PM

There have been some bugs reported in other threads recently. Please continue to post them but I will address them when this next update is made instead of doing them one at a time as soon as they are reported.

Only your best score in a game will count towards your total score. If you have second, fourth and fifth place, only the best score, second place, will count.

If Sabby scores 1,000 points in a game and I score 500 points. Then Sabby gets first place and I get second place. Sabby gets 100 points added to his total score. I get 50 (500/1000*100) points. If I later score 1,500 points in that same game then I would have first and third place and Sabby would have second. Only my highest score would count so my third place would not matter. Our previous points would be subtracted from our total score putting us back at zero for this game and I would get 100 points for being first and Sabby would get 67 (1,000/1,500*100) points. Since I had the highest score, I would get the badge added to my name. If more than one person tied for first place then they all would get the badge and the 100 points. The major thing that is changing is the quality of a score will be worth more in the stats than the quantity of high scores. Also a different section of the stats would still list who has the most total high scores as it does now.

Next to your username in the forum there has a list of all the games that you are champ of. That will remain the same. In your profile and on the game menu there is a list of first second and third place scores. The second and third place will be removed. The first place will remain.

Spell checkers slow servers down a lot. One will not be added. Firefox has a built in spellchecker and there is a plug in for IE that gives it a spell checker. Also you can search Google for individual words to see if you spelled them right or you can write your post in gMail, spell check it there and then copy it to here.

I am aiming for the beginning of June for the update to be finished.

**Dudebro** · 02-12-2008, 07:49 AM

Thanks for all the info Kong, I didn't expect that much detail.

I think I understand how this is gonna work. It seems like a good change. I missed why this is being changed if it was posted before. Everything seems to be ok at the moment I thought.

well i may have caused this one because i did not like the fact that if you tie someones score then you loose the champ when really they are not better than you they just beat you that day take for example hangaroo many people tied for champ does that mean the ones below should not get credit for doing the best the game has to offer i dont think so ...

**TNTisKING** · 03-05-2008, 02:07 PM

Not sure if you still are taking requests, but anyway...
I liked being able to comment on your score as soon as you submitted it. Would it be possible to make a page that you are sent to where you can see the list of high scores and then make a comment that will be added when the score is approved?

**Kong** · 03-24-2008, 07:05 PM

Today I changed the Game Trophies that are next to each post. They used to be small images of the game titles that are used on the menu. Now they are gold trophies.

I changed it because:

The images were not actually small but just regular sized images that were displayed as small images meaning they were kind of big in file size.
There were so many of them being loaded ever time a forum page loaded. That wasn't much of a problem for the server but it was annoying to me as a user. (I have disabled caching on my computer so it is more annoying to me than to most and my connection if broadband but still not very fast.)
Some of the games did not have images and so they were shown as a missing image.
They were too small to read and so not very helpful.

I am not attached to the current method but I don't want to go back to the previous method either. So if you a suggestion on how to improve it I will listen and maybe do it.

@TNT, I think I am going to switch to a youtube style comment system.

**Tails** · 03-24-2008, 07:10 PM

Well kong, i think you should ditch the trophies on the side. but leave Badges there, and maybe put a separate page for your trophies you won. just a suggestion but if you remove it and just put it in a page where its not on every page maybe it can stop lag?

**Kugyince** · 03-24-2008, 07:19 PM

My work comp sucks so these are great for me. My page loading time has been cut down dramatically.

I like these but you could also have something like:
Trophies: 83

With the word trophies being a link to which ones and maybe the scores too.

**Kong** · 03-24-2008, 07:29 PM

The trophies on your profile will be coming back eventually for sure. So it is an option to just say Trophies: 83 and link that to a list of all trophies.

but can you leave the badges or make them return? i miss seeing my four

[br]Posted on: March 24, 2008, 09:29:54 PM_________________________________________________i would also like if you separated the games, such as my Double Dragon SMS, Genesis, and NES, they all show as the Genesis.

i would also like to see embedding for youtube videos.

**rambo** · 03-24-2008, 09:42 PM

i really don't like the trophies. at all. i vote go back to normal as close as possible.

Sounds good to me

**oasis** · 03-25-2008, 12:59 AM

i dont like seeing a bunch of gold like tails has

but i do like the idea of saying
gold: 100
silve 30
bronze 35

or something and kong a seperate page just goes back to what i was saying in a different post about chronos room virsus lucas room with books like a player achivement page... i know ive seen a exact example of what im thinking of when you would click on a trophie give me a sec ill go find it

something kind of like this how he has different pages in the book for different things...
http://ra.vendomar.ee/~jaanusl/MUME/start.html

so in the players room you could have a book for trophies or a book for badge's ect ect

**jeckel22** · 04-25-2008, 12:22 PM

I suppose that this would fall under the suggestion category, but here goes...I think there should be some kind of option or feature somewhere that lets you remove a negative rep. Anyone could just go and negative rep whoever and they are stuck with that blemish.

shop maybe?

**jeckel22** · 04-25-2008, 06:24 PM

That is what I though, but then it would run out. I am talking about like.....maybe something like a negative rep countdown timer. Like after so long, your negative rep starts to deteriorate by one point.

**Tails** · 04-25-2008, 07:07 PM

maybe negattive rep can be removed my moderators who feel that you are deserving of it?

This sounds like the only fair way to do it. Case by case basis. It's kinda pointless if negative rep can be removed with points or over time. Takes away the impact it should have. I mean if everyone has over 100 positive rep and 0 negative then it cheapens the point of rep at all, in my opinion.

**Kugyince** · 04-26-2008, 05:14 AM

I miss my neg reps.

like when i had -4 when all mine were because people didnt like mj

**oasis** · 04-26-2008, 08:16 AM

well i think thier should be a way to dispute your neg rep just incase someone does something stupid and meaning less, but not just remove it because like dudebro said that would defeate the purpose
