It's been a year since Beat the Challengers went down, but now, i'm taking it out from its gravestone. That's right, it's the newly revived...

Better Than the Best

Mechanics and Rules:

Every week, a random game will be picked. There will be 3 challengers just like in the past with scores. Beat them to gain points, but aside from this, there will be a separate High score table for all the participants, where they will also be competing against each other. The higher the rank the more points you'll get.

However unlike last time, there will be NO trophies given out. Instead, there will be a Hall of Fame displaying how everyone's doing.

Point scoring are as follows:

Beat all 3 challengers: 30 points
Beat 2 challengers: 20 points
Beat 1 challenger: 10 points

High scores order:
1st place: 45 points
2nd place: 37 points
3rd place: 31 points
4th place: 26 points
5th place: 22 points
6th place: 18 points
7th place: 15 points
8th place: 12 points
9th place: 10 points
10th place: 8 points

11th onwards get 6 points for participation

Last but not least, random events! They can either make your life easier, or harder. Be prepared!

Rules:
1. I will indicate when you need to post a screenshot of a game when you get a high score. This is because of updates to the flash games in neopets. (E.g. Snowbeast Smackrifice, before you can score around 8,000, now it's very difficult to get past 1k)

2. Cheating is strictly prohibited. If I catch you cheating in a flash game, you will be permanently banned from this contest, and will be reported to TNT. (game codes TNT placed in the games can be used though). Also for your safety, please do not abuse the bugs in the flash games. You'll simply put your account on risk of getting frozen.

3. Sharing of tips is fine with me in this thread. I would sometimes even encourage it though. In fact, i'm holding this contest for you guys to know which game you're good at, and one day get a trophy.

I hope you'll enjoy this game!

My "all-time" score for this game is 320 . Let's see what happens this time around..

I got 505...

gah another game I highly dislike I hate waiting for the things you shoot to fall lower and then missing

Play Large screen and high quality . I would usually double click to make sure I hit the parachute.

Updated

Bah, I forgot to play Gwyl's.
Anyways, I just got my new all-time record, 1,512

Edit: up 10 990 now... this game may actually be playable. Heh.

Edit 2: o_0. Wow. I actually beat the first challenger. 1158 ponts. Anyways, that's 3 scores for today.

Edit 3: Up to 1274. Now today's tomarrow. Heh.

Edit 4: Yada yada yada... 1312...

Edit 5: hey... up too 1387... 3rd play today, but I'll probably be able to beat the second challenger tomarrow.

EDIT 6: 1512... ya'all are showing me up

*debates trying for the top challengers score or not*

Cooty Wars 1,543 Points

Was this a Better Than You challenge recently? I think I had some reason for playing it obsessively...

I almost am tempted to pull out of this. I fail so badly at these games, its embaressing

My all-time high in this is 560, heh.

0_o obiwanpi just entered. How about we save ourselves a lot of bother and just hand you the top position I'm currently occupying in the Hall of Fame?

EDIT: 1341 now, lol.

tj's got one heck of a crazy score in this. =D

EDIT 2: 1542 I think this is pretty much the highest I can go.

1,532 Points. This was a somewhat recent BTY but I couldn't beat it even after trying 20+ times.

Awww, don't do that You get points for trying

And eventually, a game you can do amazing at HAS to come up, right? (Unless you aren't good at any games...in which case, my logic kinda goes out the window.)

Updated up to last post.

Close scores

Remember, anything can happen from now upto the closing time.
