I miss the Gold Miner Vegas game, that was my favorite!
But I wanted to ask, is there any way for admin to delete a high score? I was playing a game (Fishy) and when I submitted my score it submitted it to the Alien high scores! So now I have a crazy high score for a game (Alien) that cant even get that kind of score, I feel awful because I took the 1st place from someone and if my score cant be deleted noone else will ever get 1st place!

I don't think there's too much that can be done. Some of the games are screwy. I was listed in first place for one game for a while, although I was in second place. I played a couple of more times, and actually did become the top scorer. So what happened? That score wasn't recorded, and the next person who scored slightly lower is now in first place.


I think we should just play for fun, and not worry too much about scores, as there are a lot of glitches.

I did it!! I erased your score form the high score board but it will always say you got the best score of all time

I was playing MahJong Connect while my wife was playing Eddie`s Match`em All Basketball (both under my username). She scored 621,805 and for whatever reason her score got posted to MahJong Connect. We've played different games simultaneously for a couple of weeks now and this is the first time that something like this has happened. It wouldn't be that big of a deal except that the real high score in MahJong Connect is only 4,545! Could the appropriate person please remove this erroneous score from MahJong Connect?

Nuh uh...might give me away!
It says I only have 20 high scores, but if you look at my rankings, I have more than 20. Also, I had 24 high scores yesterday, but haven't received any "someone has beaten your high score" since May 1.

I think something is really going wrong with the arcade right now.

I haven't been getting those either! It seems like every tournament I enter never gets completed, but maybe it's because the reminder PM's aren't being sent??

Yeah, I got the PM telling me my high score had been beaten... only to find out that the score was 621,805, done in 9 minutes. Good thing it was from another game (and hopefully a fix will be coming soon) because there was no way I would ever be able to beat that!

I feel really bad Naia. Every time I post I see the MahJong Connect icon next to my username and I'm like "that....shouldn't....be there!" At the very least I wish I could transfer it back to you. I can't even get to 2,000, much less 4,545.

Obviously there have been plenty of glitches in many of the games so far. Like you said, hopefully it'll get fixed soon.

Thanks for fixing the scores Jana! I think some confusion may have been due to the fact that people are playing on more than one window at the same time? I am not sure though.

Oh and about the Vegas Gold Miner - I couldn't get it to work and others were complaining as well, so I took it off.

Some of the games, if you finish them instead of of 'dying' it doesn't report your high score. It just happened to me on Crime Puzzle (then again, I was beating my own high score, so who cares?) but I got 22,something. Sad.

I am/was in a tournament today - solitaire slingo. It said I had advanced (got a pm) and had beaten bnwalker. Within the half hour, I received a message that I'd been eliminated and was beaten by this member - went to view the tournament and it had changed what it had listed as her score, to one that did beat me, then listed us both as advanced and both of us as eliminated and not having played today (we both played games within the tournament today.)

I don't see how this tournament can now finish..it seems quite messed up.

Disappointing.

I had that same problem with Crime Puzzle. I figured that you just have to keep playing that last round until time runs out.

When I ended up with the accidental score on 3D Tetris, it was definitely due to having multiple tabs open (I use Firefox). I can't remember which game transferred the score, but I've been playing only one tab at a time ever since and haven't had any problems.

We just implemented a minor fix which should hopefully help log-in issues (and staying logged in issues) with the arcade. I hope it helps some. Danny is going to take a look at the arcade once he's out of college, in about a week, and hopefully he'll be able to iron out some of the problems.

They get bigger when the game actually starts.
