I see these scores for Phoenix are they counting the 200k trick more then 1 time? Each time you do the 200k trick it resets your score back too 200k
I thought the scoring was just the score at the end of the game? Something i'm missing here?

Re: Phoenix scoring
You've watched these INPs? And if so, which ones, specifically?

Re: Phoenix scoring
I must be going blind or something, I only saw one that mentions getting more than one 200k, and that has a final score of almost 240k only.

Re: Phoenix scoring
I suspect they were just mentioning in passing that they had hit the 200k bug twice. Depending on their score at the time, they were probably quite annoyed when they "accidentally" hit it a 2nd time around and "lost" points so decided to "vent" some of their frustration by putting in the comment about hitting the bug twice.
In fact, Nibbler 69 mentioned this very situation happening to them when they were on a 550K game, which would definitely make one really annoyed!! (See the GEGOTW 2012 thread for Phoenix.)

Re: Phoenix scoring
Possibly Brian is talking about my 239K on the falcon clone, where indeed I DO get twice the "bonus"... but as I explain in the comment section of the INP:
The only case where the bonus can be awarded twice with good reason, if I understand correctly, is when your 2nd bonus happens after 1 million points - at that point the score has rolled over, and an extra 200K brings you back from 0xxxxx to 2xxxxx...
In fact, I get at some point over 250K during the game - but my total score ends up being 239KCURSED game. Got to 35K before getting the bonus, and then at over 250K I got unwillingly another. Could have been very close to 300K total. Almost as bad as my .inp at 140600 without bonus !
