I did this contest back in the summer of 2014 and thought it was fun and so why not do it again. With all the recent activity lately in the arcade I thinks it's a good time to do it. It's simple, the contest will run though the month of February. Today there is a clean slate, play whatever games you like to play and the leader in "This Month" at the end of the month will win a 5 pack from me. They don't have to be all time leaders just current month leaders to get on the board. Good luck and start playing.
Since the last contest by the way almost 20,000 games have been played. I am going to try my hardest not to play so I don't get blamed for pushing anybody off the leader board. Here was the last contest if anybody is interested http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=29427.0 (http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=29427.0)
Good Luck
Wow sweet man. :bigthumbs:
Heh heh...me like. :biggrin:
Dangit I just got the second highest score ever in Gauntlet 2 and it didn't take. That game is buggy as heck, but I will make it happen.
I doubt I'll play, I hardly ever play.....

Right :lmao:

I'd like to play, but I can't find Pong...
Great contest Brian. It's going to be fun to watch for sure.
And that's exactly what I'll do, watch. Flash games with no trainers, cheats or Walk through? You mean games I'll actually have to spend time on to get good, nah... :lmao:
I'll play Pong with Nirab, when he finds it :biggrin:

Yes it is. watch the corners when walking, you will disappear off the screen. By the way there is a penalty for beating my high scores, lol.
Looks like McBryde was busy last night playing games that have never been played before lol
I tried, but I suck at these games........ Good luck geeks~!
Good luck everyone.iI will watch as a spectator. :-)
A very productive lunch today. :biggrin:

My thoughts exactly! My wife was pissed at me this morning. "Quit playing those stupid games and come to bed!" "But babe, if I win, I get free cigars." Her words were "How do you even know if they'll be good cigars? You're gonna spend all this time and get horrible cigars, and it's going to serve you right!" LOL
Dang women!

You can reassure her, they will be good cigars.
I'm sure they will be Brian, but I think E is experienced enough to know you don't go back to that conversation, you just let it be and make sure you're in bed by 2am from now on. :-)
Thanks Bmac. I have been addicted to this arcade. This should be fun.
Does anyone know why if you finish Mahjong your score doesn't register?

I've always had that issue with it too
I really think Gary and Brian have wayyyyyyyyyy too much free time on their hands! LOL
Brian, I know they will be great cigars. But like Gary said, that's just a conversation you smile and nod at with a pregnant wife, LOL.

Same here, guess I wont be competing for this 5'er.
I tried ski ball but that thing hard to control!
Ski ball and darts are similar, I can't control them at all. Gary seems to have some kind of magic mouse with pin point accuracy.
Mwah ha ha! :-)
Think skee ball takes a supple wrist? Try bowling, that one's tough!
I think I might lay low for a few weeks...I mean days....ahh who am I kidding, I mean hours. Need more geeks on this!
Uh huh, whatever, I see that movement on the leaderboards...you're an addict, admitting it is the first step :biggrin:

I wonder if we'll overload the site with the mad dash flurry of gaming on the 28th! :lmao:
2 All Time High Scores so far this week, contest over, I win.
Y'all have too much free time!

You're not too far behind E

I can't figure out Skee ball.
Great start to the contest Geeks. Over 1200 games played already. And yah, it's killing me not to be able to play myself.
You have my permission to play any game that Gary has the high score in.

Ha ha, I'll still take you down Brian...and Brian! :smoker2:
I gotta say, I've tried a few, and my problem must be my generation. I'm great at real-time strategy, role-playing, first-person shooters, even puzzle games, but if you put a simple arcade game in front of me nowadays, it's game over!
For some of these games I have no idea how you guys are able to achieve the high scores you are putting up. Impressive.
Quoteheadfirst - 2/10/2016 12:01 AM Ha ha, I'll still take you down Brian...and Brian! :smoker2:
Oh did I forget to mention, anybody beating one of mine better send me a 5 pack. (http://www.cigargeeks.com/../images/emoticons/Angel.gif)

That's funny. This is fun. I've played a whack of games I normally wouldn't. It is driving my wife nuts though.
Work has been getting pretty busy so I may not have the time to keep up with you guys, I'm losing some serious ground now...
I've just been playing a few each night to keep my position, looks like Charlie went crazy today though.
I haven't had any time to play lately, I'm loosing big time now!
E
Oh my, someone got down to business last night, I can't keep up with you guys! :lmao:
You guys need to slow down your playing, the site is about to crash due to unprecedented game playing :biggrin:
Maybe this will mark a big comeback for Flash based games. Who would have taught this 90's tech would still be present nowadays, and appreciated by grown ups :shy:
Ninfiction was on fire last night. I got a lot of work to do.
How do you get higher than 35 on Golf Solitaire? Three way tie there.
Only thing I can figure on golf solitaire is the timer.....and you're the one that upped the ante!
I suck at all of the games... I don't know how some of you have scored so high on some of them unless I'm doing something wrong.
Tons of patience and practice on most of them.

Agreed.
Can any of you finish Mahjong? If I click on the last pair on the 3rd round it doesn't submit my score. I have to leave the last pair and let the time run out. Annoying

I have always had the same issue, been playing that one for a year plus and it's never worked for me and most of the time i forget to leave the last pair.
I suppose that I could go in and mess things up a bit on Billiards and Mini Putt Golf, but I wont :-) However, if anyone wants tips on how to improve their game, just PM me :shy:
I don't know how you got those 9,000+ scores in billiards...untouchable IMO.
Oh, and at least for the night, order has been restored in the arcade galaxy. :shades:
Fixed that for you Gary.
Sure about that? ;-)
I guess Headfirst found some free time. Nice attack.

Just about a week left. Looks like this will come down to the wire with a few of you. By the way a total of 2,287 games played so far this month, impressive.

This has been a fun contest, to be sure!
Man, CharlieDon'tSurf and ninfiction are relentless, I think it'll come down to those two on this one...whoever wins this has definitely earned it. Other than the weightloss contest I don't think I've worked so hard for free cigars, but it was fun!
What happens with games that are tied for top score? Does the leaderboard recognize ties?
Headfirst, if you haven't tried very hard then you're gaming skills are very impressive.

I think if there is a tie it goes to the one who got it first.
This is going to come down to the wire, which is only a couple days away.
Good luck to CharlieDon'tSurf and ninfiction, I just don't have the time to invest today to compete with you guys. Can't believe my darts score got beat again. :angry:
Maybe you guys should leave it as a tie so Brian has to dish out cigars to both of you for all the time you had to blow on this thing!
Great contest idea Brian. :bigthumbs:
I was hoping for a 3 way tie. Some of the scores are getting tough to beat now.
Maybe the 3 of us can plan out a 3 way tie to really make Brian pay for putting this contest on! :-)

You boys do what you want but keep in mind I might be one step ahead of you guys already, just saying.
Going to end this thing tonight at midnight est my time so just shy of 12 hours to go.
I may be out of the running now, but that doesn't mean I can't play spoiler to somebody, watch your back boys! :biggrin:

Just an update, about 1 hour 40 minutes left. I'm taking a snapshot at Midnight and that will determine our winner. I gots to get some sleep yall (http://www.cigargeeks.com/../images/emoticons/biggrin2.gif) Good luck, and thanks for playing geeks.
Can I quit playing now?
Quoteninfiction - 2/29/2016 11:59 PM Can I quit playing now?
Yes you can. Congrats ninfiction you are the winner, well done. I will be sending out your cigars probably on Wed. Need to get a box from work first. I promise I won't make you guys do that again, or maybe not.
That was brutal and down to the wire, too bad Gary had to miss out tonight would have been even better. Thanks for the contest!
Glad the month is over, few more days and you guys might start killing each other. Now can I play again?
Congrats ninfiction for the win, very impressive playing! :bigthumbs:
Good job Ninfiction. I couldn't find a game at the end I could beat you at. Brian, thank you so much for the contest. It was a lot of fun. And thank you for choosing the shortest month of the year as I am pretty sure what I am feeling is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Good effort to all involved

That is one frustrating game. You are the master of pushing a mouse straight between that, skeeball and bowling.
This was fun to watch, congratulations Brian!
Gary, I am MOST disappointed in you. :nono:
Congrats Brian! :bigthumbs:
congrats!
Quotemillarddj - 3/1/2016 7:09 AM
Gary, I am MOST disappointed in you. :nono:
I know. :shamebag:
Those two were just relentless (21 high scores is a distant 3rd?!). :respekt:
But, when you think about how fiercely they were going at it last night and the fact they could only knock off two of my scores since Friday, I'm proud of that, my scores were tough to beat.
You guys both did a great job. The scores got to a point they were very difficult to beat.
I did learn that I really suck at any game the requires using the arrow keys...and darts, bowling, ski-ball. Can't get the mouse to go straight at all.
Me neither. Bowling aggravates me but I keep trying. Need to find a straight mouse.
Congrats to all who participated, to the winner especially, and to the sponsor for hosting. :-)
Brian, I got your well deserved 5'er boxed up and dropping off in the mail tomorrow. Tracking # is 9405803699300202865735 Enjoy (http://www.cigargeeks.com/../images/emoticons/biggrin2.gif)
Just some fun facts guys, within the month total games played by everyone was 3,670, that is impressive and some hard work put in.
Congrats again to Brian, and some challenging pressure put on by Sean and Gary. Well done guys, and everyone else as well for contributing to the contest.
Thank you Brian!

I also had an endless number of games like that, I bet you could double the total played for the month and still be under..
Received my "fiver" today from Brian. Awesome selection, I look forward to smoking them all. He even included some Black Ice and an OSOK coffin from his local. Fantastic.
Looks like it may have been worth the blood sweat and tears afterall, nice win Brian and very generous prize other Brian! :thumbsup:
Very nice win! I'm not much of a gamer, but I enjoyed watching this challenge play out! Nice challenge Brian. Nice win Brian.
Glad they made it in one piece and hopefully you enjoy some of them. There are 2 different cigars in the coffin under the wrap. Both were done as geek critiques last year, I think June & July if I remember correct.
Brian!!! :-0 :bow:
lol Awesome!
Ah good to see them land today as well as one other. You 3 all deserved it. Enjoy guys
And my football high score is back, yeah
Gotta love a contest with many winners but that's just Brian's usual generosity.
Cool contest, now you guys can let the fingers rest.
Congrats to the winner(s)
