LOL, I wasn't going to be so impolite but to "offer my own in return": my own fat ass can be laughed at jiggling on some Just Dance footage hereabouts. :DQuote:

I can certainly see a controller at the start but as my submission failures can attest, my eyesight isn't so great to be certain what I'm looking at.Quote:

It's awesome that you've not been put off & stuck with the conversation to show understanding. Genuine thanks for sticking with it given this is your first sub & hit such an awkward quirk of TG vs. other scoreboards: following rules that may not seem relevant. :DQuote:

When I made the rules, it was mostly to stop anyone from using new controllers that had a faster firing rate (The first ones made, were converted Genesis controllers). I didalso like that everyone would be on the same level playing field control-wise..But that can be looked past, really, as well as any game that isn't a shooter.
I saw the controller in the reflection (and it's not a shooter anyway).
Accepted!
With all due respect I must disagree. About a month back or so ThePulseRifle submitted a score for Vector Pilot without showing a controller either and had to resubmit. I can see a controller in Your Conscience's video but its shadowy at best. It probably is a Vectrex controller but I can't be positive. He had a great run there and like he said could most likely repeat his score. Rules are rules. You can't say to one person that's no good then to another, well ok good enough. The one thing that I do now is a routine of showing the cartridge, then the controller and powering the game console. When I do eventually submit a Vectrex score you can bet you will see the controller. That's my two cents, happy gaming!
i think this is more about the different games than it is about treating people different, but regardless that could be the perception and i dont think we want that look so valid point.Quote:

Exactly. His submission was a shooter (the main reason the rule was added), which could be exploited with the "right" controller. Here, a rapid fire controller would have no effect.Quote:

Thank you everyone for your insights, Just pulled off another 77,700, so I am very confident I can get to 77,750 again. Maybe Snowflake is right and the game could go higher. I have only been playing hardcore for about two weeks. But going to be a bit before I submit again. I left the vectrex at home so it didn't keep me staying up until 4 a.m. when I have to work at 7 a.m. the next day. Keep an eye out in January for my next runs.
