If anyone has questions about the TG contest, I'm the liason, you can e-mail me directly at
johnz@twingalaxies.com.
We've had four or five scores come in as whole files and two of you sent in scores broken into two files. I've e-mailed from an outside source to the company with multi-meg attachments and had it work just fine so normally I wouldn't think the problem is on our end. Then again, two different people having the same problem makes me wonder.
Seawolf, as far as joining, here's a direct link to the contest page.
http://www.twingalaxies.com/cgi-perl...hampionship.pl Notice the instructions in the right-hand column that say "steps to join the contest?" Follow those in order. We are accepting scores on medium and large galaxies too, but only the top scores for small galaxies will get cash. You can post unverified scores for small, med, and large maps and they'll stay up for all time. Also, you can enter any number of scores and we'll keep updating your personal record to reflect your best performance, this isn't a one try deal.
Also, the contest ending doesn't mean that the top score is set in stone, it just means that's the guy who gets the cash. We recently had a 15-year-old record broken (Jr. Pac-Man). The contest is just to generate a score for the game so we have something to print in the second edition of our book of video game world records.
Note that we've got four cash prizes and only three players who seem to be in the 50-million+ score range. Competition for 4th is not very fierce just yet.
