Thanks for considering me an expert in vectrexagon. I doubt I'll be as good in any of the original Vectrex games.
I tried posting them using Google Drive. The pictures show up for me when I post them but I may not have set permissions right. Let me know if they work now and if not I'll try s different service.
Also, how does scoring work with the percents? This is my first year and I didn't see a full explanation of how the rankings worked.

Still not showing up for me.
As far as how the percentages go, hcm uses a computer program that calculates them. He can explain it better than I can the next time he gets on here.

... I doubt I'll be as good in any of the original Vectrex games. Let's see - you never know. And: There are also other non-pro players like me around. ;-) I tried posting them using Google Drive. The pictures show up for me when I post them but I may not have set permissions right. Let me know if they work now and if not I'll try s different service. EDIT: Your new links (photobucket) work fine. Please post the name of the game and the highscore as text in addition to the screenshot if possible. Also, how does scoring work with the percents? This is my first year and I didn't see a full explanation of how the rankings worked. Thank you for asking, Justin. Most is written up in the original post, but percentages aren't explained in detail: Percentages are calculated per game: The player with the highest score gets 100% and all other players' scores for this game are the percentage in relation to the highest score. (I.e. if Player 1 has highest score of 10.000 points in Berzerk, he/she will get 100%. Player 2 has 8300 points in Berzerk, he/she will get 83%, and so on). For each player the six best percentages all add up to a total average percentage per player. And the player with the highest average percentage ranks highest. Hope things got a bit clearer. |

I'll stick with photobucket since that worked.
Thanks for the full explanation on score. Makes much more sense and also good to know that no matter how many games you enter for only the best 6 count. So there is no risk with trying a game you aren't good at.

 Highscore list has been updated. Chainsaw is in the lead closely followed by VectorX. ___ ... Thanks for the full explanation on score. Makes much more sense and also good to know that no matter how many games you enter for only the best 6 count. So there is no risk with trying a game you aren't good at. You're welcome. Indeed, there is no risk and submitting scores for more than the required 6 games can be of an advantage. |

Berzerk / 8630 / Chainsaw  Star Fire / 6035 / Chainsaw  PS: I'm using picload.org for my pictures, it's easy and works without account. But sometimes, the picload server is also slow / or not responding. If you don't see my pictures, just reload and/or wait some seconds... |
