The log shows consistent uploads up to 2209 hours GMT.
Unless someone was waiting until the last hour or so, it wouldn't have been a problem.

I played the game a little late on Saturday and didn't upload anything because I wasn't happy with my score, but figured I'd upload it the next day unless I could manage a better score before then. but I sorta ended up oversleeping a bit, and when I woke up around... 2300 GMT, MARP was down. Oh well.

Any chance of you getting up to Houston in December?
Dwayne just released the game list and they'll have a Robotron there. He also says Abdner Ashman will be attending.

don't go off-topic, the moderator will kill you!!!
Hmmm... it'd be fun to see some Robotron ownage first-hand, but I already used the last of my vacation days for the year, so most likely not. :(
and looking at the gamelist there's not TOO much else I'd really be interested in. Although it'd be nice to play a real Spy Hunter. And maybe to see a MACH 3 again since that game/cabinet made such a great impression on me when I was a stupid kid.
