I was the first person to post this as a comment on a junglekas submission. I only had a few minutes to play the game, but I saw that you and Gerhard had made extremely weak scores that you'd probably only taken maybe 10 minutes of effort to make and which were an obvious attempt to get a cheap leaderboard 1st. My comment meant exactly what it said. If you (or anybody else) were playing the game to get a cheap leaderboard 1st, then don't bother, because you won't get one on that game. I thought that was pretty clear. Apparently I tapped into a common sentiment and a couple of other players independently started putting the same comment on some of their recordings.
But since you've asked for more detailed feedback, here it is.
I don't hate you, but I don't like how you behave either at MARP or elsewhere I've run across you in the CAG community. You're actually not a bad player when you take some time to learn a game. However you've got a persecution complex and your post on this thread is just another plea for sympathy that I don't think you deserve.
You have a MARP leaderboard obsession, or as PacWhiz best described you on the CAG forums, you have LeaderBoard Whore Syndrome (LBWS). You clearly target "weak" romsets (clones or originals) on new versions of MAME that have very weak or no submissions to try and get a 1st. Please don't try to deny this. It only takes a few seconds for anybody to look through your submission history to see this.
Now you certainly aren't the only LBW MARP has ever had and you almost certainly won't be the last. You aren't even the only active one doing it (you other guys know who you are, and so do we). But you ARE the only LBW who whines and complains about it when your weak scores get beaten.
I wrote you off when you showed your true colors and the depth of your LBW depravity when you started this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=14940
In the thread you had submitted a completely junk score of 30 on a completely broken game that only had 2 enemies. You did this so that, by your own admission on the thread, you could claim a cheap leaderboard 1st place score. You were then beaten by saulonpb who managed to somehow score 50 points. Then without bothering to take the time to figure out how to play back his replay yourself, you posted on the Playbackability forum that "Theres no way he got a score of 50 on this. Theres only 2 invaders you hopefully shoot and then the game ends with a score of 30 not 50." In a follow up post you hypothesized that maybe he was intentionally lying about his score "so he can have first place."
Your behavior was rude to saulonpb (you basically accused him of intentionally lying without even bothering to play back his replay yourself). It was selfish and a waste of time to your fellow MARPers since you shouldn't be posting to the Playbackability forum unless you are having a playback problem. And you clearly couldn't care less about MARP rule 2.n that states " "Submit only games that you feel are worthy of the notice of other MARPers, owing either to personal effort, or display of skill."

You have:
http://replay.marpirc.net/r/cfever40 But I guess since you haven’t done it in a while its like saying “I haven’t beaten my wife lately.” But ok, you don’t like playing gambling games very much. You’re still a leaderboard whore, just one that would qualify it by saying something like “at least I don’t sleep with Jews.”

Except when you don’t move onto the main sets and just claim first on the more or less uncontested bootlegs with weak scores for 1st like on asterixj and aurailj and bomblord and cosmica1 and crockman and demonwld2 and demonwld3 and invasiona and kovsgqyz and kovsgqyza and moonbasea and orlegend105k and orlegendca and puckpkmna and pushmana and pushmant and raidersr3 and raimaisjo and safaria and scramblebb and starforca and starforcb and westgun2. But I’m sure you were just about to get back to the main set on all of those.
In closing I’ll just say that I agree with everything BBH posted and make it clear he’s not the only one that feels that way. I’ll also say I agree with everything PacWhiz wrote about this subject in this post:
