Try indyheat.

I think there's about ten of us tied for first.

I don't think it's maxed out, just nobody's been able to win that next race.

The third listed there is the most impressive. Someone beat Phil at mahjong? hehe

I wonder how many more mahjong games will be added to 0.80.

These are definitely intentional scores by WRX2 to get first place but without taking it outright.

Another example:

IPM Invader (impinvad) - 46390 - diabolik
IPM Invader (impinvad) - 46390 - LordGaz

\:D/ \:D/ \:D/

the wacky thing about this thread is that at the time of this writing, there are 5 replies (Weehawk, LN2, mahlemiut, LordGaz, me). But the forum page says there's only 4 replies. Huh?

maybe space thunderbird , isn't thunderbird a type of moonshine?
one drunk bird ! maybe he just likes to get others drunk .
one cool bird .
9990 on space king 2 was your intention to tie .
46390 on 1PM. invaders was again you who chose to tie .
Like AL says , just my two cents .
Gaz was first to do 9990 on spcking2

He was second to do 46390 on ipminvad....maybe that was his point.

Here's a challenge for you..

Find the game where the 2nd place score is the lowest percentage of the top score. (Which game has been "owned" the most completely)

Can't check the numbers right now, but I'll take dibs on Rock Climber...I know my 2nd place is a tiny fraction of the top score.

See what you find.
