Tommi, there's no need for you to be a prick. Editors cannot just make up new rules. What happened here was that at least 5 of 7 editors supported the ideas and the two motions PASSED. If we asked players to vote we'd have 150 polls and hundreds of different opinions. Somebody (the MARP Editors) hav...

The bug exploitation for Phoenix and its clones is allowed to stand -- no changes will be made.

Furthermore, the editors have decided to continue the current MARP policy of handling bug expoiltation on a case by case basis.

:idea: I think we need to run this again one last time. I would add one more scoring system, probably Phil Lamat's suggestion (same system used for soccer games). I would also like to let this run for 14 days or longer and expect a minimum total vote of 20 (whichever comes first). On a similar note,...

Yeah, I know easier modes give less points than harder ones, which brings up the point: WHY BOTHER WITH THE EASIER MODES AT ALL, FOLKS? I've always said since day one that we should have only ONE definitive version for each game regardless of skill level, clone variations, secret entries and poweru...

Com'on, at least try to beat hisa's score. To delete recordings, it's gonna take a lot more substance than starting a poll. :evil:

pang3 - 10 levels is back!!

OK, go nuts! :D I've added the 10 level beginner mode and renamed Secret Levels to Expert. I've also spent the last two hours checking and renaming other split names as required. In summary: pang3-beg "Pang! 3 (Euro) [Beginner]" pang3j-beg "Pang! 3 (Japan) [Beginner]" pang3-nml &...

Rules for splitting games

Guys (& Gals) PLEASE! We really need to cool it with the splits requests! You need to know that I will not split a game based on difficulty levels alone. Of late, three "P" games come to mind: pang3 popnpop puzzleb I am only going to create splits if the game play is SUBSTANTIALLY diff...

Phoenix & clones bug

Tommi, be careful because the way I see it you are trying to set a double standard. If you don't know that means, I will explain by example. Basically, it is perfectly OK to exploit a bug in Phoenix to a gain a huge number of disporportionate points, but at that same time in other games it is not ac...
