[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 207745, member: 3745"] But you just said it about a skill shot, not for any time you're in the Thing saucer. :p Anyway, I got into bonus glitch zone again, and managed the rollovers correctly to put up 33B on the leaderboard this time. Took only 3 hours, two to accumulate the mansion rooms and one to cash in. I deliberately stopped going for rooms and EBs to pay precise attention to the bonus. I had 9B legit points before the glitchfest and the rest was essentially all ooky bonus. One adjustment to the previous description: The status report does NOT show the correct bonus total that will actually be awarded! It erroneously includes an extra 1 billion (which is then multiplied.) Actually it adds 1 billion minus 10 million - so it looks like some factor that is supposed to go into the ten-millions digit instead goes into the billions digit. After taking into consideration this extra bug, it does seem that the fundamental glitch of 100M bonus per mansion room past 200 is consistent and predictable, so rollover management can be precisely planned from there. Just mentally subtract 1B times the multiplier from what the status report says for bonus, and then you know how far you can push the bonus X on each ball without going past 9.9B for a rollover that will be missed. The glitch could be fixed by disassembling and patching the ROM, and the expertise does exist in the world (there's been homebrew ROM hacks for several machines for various reasons), but I rather doubt Farsight would care to try even if Williams agreed to let them.
