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.

Your High Scores
All Time: 35

*blinks*

You had to pick this game...

Yay, I love this game.

Raiders of Maraqua 105 Points Beginner (advance at 132)

*blinks repeatedly*

Might get a better score later, but so far my best is 810.

Raiders of Maraqua - 385 Points

Wow, last time I played this game was the Maraqua vs Pirate War because you could play this game to get points.

I don't think I'll be able to beat any of these challengers.

Well, A game I'm pretty good at! What'da ya know! Raiders of Maraqua 855 Points Grand Master

New score:

910

hmm...if the game hasn't changed I used to be able to get 1200 on this game o_O...but unfortunately my high score says 390...in the future, can old scores be used? like w/e it says on your all time HS

Is there a guide for this game? A guide like Faerie Cave Puzzle II. You know that shows the map and instructions to every level?

Updated up to last post.

Q77, yeah I know the time when you can rack up points by simply throwing bubbles at enemies the whole time, but you cannot use that score because it wouldn't be fair for those who didn't play it that time .

smoker - There are a few guides, but I don't think it will be like FCR2. Raiders of Maraqua is the same all throughout, but you cannot guarantee it like that. Remember, slorgs/jetsams can appear in any bubble and can push them around so you would have to learn different routes/alternatives.

Try this petpage. Any game you need help, it would most likely have a guide here

Well...I got up to 225 points. I'll try again later after reading a guide, I guess.
