Dispute Evidence / Rationale
| I realize that my case may be weak here, but I will do my best to explain why I feel that this score should be reexamined.
1. The score that is required to get the best ending in the Three Stooges is at least $20000, a task which is very difficult within itself to achieve.
2. The most you can earn from a minigame is a little under a thousand dollars at most. The minigame that gives the most money is the waiter minigame which can generate at least a thousand dollars at most if the player successfully delivers every pie. Even then, this does not happen until later in the game.
3. The player has only thirty days, or turns, to earn as much money as possible. Given that money earnings are not usually very high, to be able to earn such a high amount does not seem probable in my opinion.
4. I watched a video of someone who managed to earn about $21000, and that was using most of the available days, with at least one 'wasted.' Given that this score was a very difficult score to achieve, I believe this is further reason to question the legitimacy of this score.
5. While I understand this score was submitted via the pre-TGSAP era by using a video, the fact that there is no way to verify this score makes me suspicious.
Given all of these facts, I feel that this score should be removed, or at least scrutinized.
