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!

You guys might be wondering... why don't they have images?

Well they didn't want me to put it up there . The altador legends do not want too much attention, while the janitor... well ask him.

17,120

:K. My score's not QUITE high enough to beat Fauna.

All Time: 13,070

Well, I'll try to get it up some more soon.

Updated.

You guys may want to try beating this week's Better Than you. You'll need to score more than 14500. Good luck!

May: 14,395

Well...at least I beat that second challenger. Sooo close to the BTY, though

I must be really, really, really bad at this game.

Score: 1000

Updated.

Sorry to hear that weee. They're going to change the Better Than You tomorrow, so good luck beating it.

Score: 11015

Useless, I know.

Pretty sad, but it's the best I can do.

9940

*prays fervently for a Round 5 game I'm not hopeless at*

EDIT: 11200. That's it for me. Only good thing to come out of this is my finding another game to add to my regular 3k per day list, heh.

I need great practice in this game. I only score 1,145 Points
