There should be a new competition after the patch.
Well, what I'm pushing my bosses on is a head-to-head team contest, not a high-score one. Up to 20 players on a map right? Well, with the TCP/IP connections coming out, we could setup a gig where, say four-player teams get together and take each other on. No AI players, just other humans. Give the ShadowXpanse Leage and all the others a chance to flex some Imperial Muscle.
Also, our past trend is to keep records on all Versions. So there's a world record for Pac Man arcade, and one for Mame, and one for Atari, and this, and that. If there's enough interest (sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case just now) we'd probably do something like that keeping records for each Version. But as it stands we're just not getting much response from the public on the contest. Only about 80 visitsper day compared to 2,000 for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Nevertheless, even if there isn't an official contest, all world records can be challenged at any time, so we will need to sit down, probably with Aaron, and figure out how to work things out as the patches keep coming.
