Having just read the list of techniques-banned, I just tried deleting my illicitly gained Asteroids score by editing it to zero, but I see it's still there in 2nd place.
What can be done? Have I knackered everything? Why does it always seem to be me who puts the spanner amongst the pigeons?

Our scores are cool, for now!
Your score is still cool on stroids because all the votes are not in yet. In fact it was me that brought up ship hunting and spider hunting because they were very subjective and were on the edge of taking advantage of a weak point in the machine.

What you need to do is vote! Vote! VOTE! That will help clarify the rules for us marpers on each individual game.

I, personally, voted for ship hunting because with ship hunting your not taking away any element of the game (it happens normally - i.e. you can still try to do this with rev 2 or deluxe although it is much harder). Voted against spider hunting because you are removing an element from the playing field (rev 2 of centipede addressed this issue i.e. the spider can come out in the first/second row of shrooms).
<p>
Anyway, we're still legit unless we get voted down. But I feel this would be extremely hard to police because ship hunting in stroids naturally occurs between levels. It would then be a subjective call on the amount of ship hunting
not fun.
