An interesting or perhaps inevitable consequence of looking into past practices of TG has been to learn more about how the console scores came together into a single "TG database." I was broadly aware of some of the history from RTM, and I recall reading other snippets here and there. I believe

Thanks Gavv. Yes, it doesn't surprise me that a number of Intellivision players submitted on disc. To your questions, what I've been able to review on the Wayback Machine simply cites "default" for the vast majority of tracks across all home consoles, including Intellivision. There
The Evener commented on blog entry intellivision fix continued in Snowflake
It's air tight that the change shouldn't have happened. "Default=disc" was proffered as a clarification or codification of how TG defined "default" historically. We know emphatically that it wasn't the case. The mistake can be traced back to the previous Head Custodian

If we're tallying, I'm in support of a rule reversion as an appropriate remedy.I thought about my own wall post, but it seems overkill for a simple question. Jace, is the TG Wiki crawled by Google? In the course of looking into TG's history for this specific issue and past dispute reviews,

Wayback grabbed it but there's some wonky formatting and missing images. It looks like this wall post preceded the default rules changes taken up by Dave in the above thread by a few months.https://web.archive.org/web/20180124205422/https://www.twingalaxies.com/entry.php/3068-WHAT-DEFAULT-SKILL-LEVEL-MEANS-ON-INTELLIVISION-TRACKS

I am going to re-read this whole thread this weekend to make sure I understand all the viewpoints and then will make a decision regarding this stuff.
JasonV91 commented on blog entry ESI calculating in thegamer1185
It has changed over the years, but I still don't quite know how it's supposed to work.
When I first joined 4 years ago, ESI was awarded/recalculated whenever a submission was accepted...I recall this being consistent for at least 2 years, maybe more, and this was at the time when a score

There's a lot of accusations there. I've been above board about treating this as a rule correction given that you didn't seek to undertake or couldn't find documentation about TGs definition of "default." I'll confess I don't understand why you feel that your achievements

Swaggers could you outline under what circumstances you think rule reversion is merited? It looks like your views evolved since the original back and forth with IM about his default = disc rule change in 2017/18, or I might be misrembering your points.

Al doesn't have a score on Lock N Chase from my review of the track - top place belongs to Chris Dumaresq. Maybe you're thinking of a different track?I'm not convinced that creating a rule set that states "in order to claim first place you must compete on the same setting as the incumbent"

Intellivision Master, setting aside the immediate discussion for a moment --In 2027/2018 you advocated to clarify for gamers the definition of "default" on Intellivision tracks. We confirmed via the Wayback Machine that submissions were adjudicated under a definition of default that was based
