[QUOTE="Slam23, post: 166422, member: 896"] Hi Invitro, Thanks for your work, nice to see the list updated, I really like the second version. I'm mostly content when I get my 1000 HOF points on my iPad TPA, so I guess being at place 73 in this list goes nicely with being above average on a lot of tables. This list has the potential to give me a new goal..... I'm not entirely sure this is a good thing as real life demands kind of get in the way of playing really lengthy games :) Having had a couple of monster games does really make you appreciate the ridiculously awesome scores by people like VikingErik and Tarek Oberdieck. It's not only that they can survive the more unpredictable tables for long stretches, it's also the concentration they must muster for tables that in theory could be played indefinitely because of predictable/safe shots and unlimited/recurring chances for extra balls. Scared Stiff comes to mind as one example. I played a nice game of 634M yesterday, but a few lapses of concentration made me spill my cushion of extra balls. Then there are always children's butts that have to be wiped, or spilled milk to be cleaned up..... :) I don't know if people know the documentary "King of Kong", but I can sympathize with the Steve Wiebe guy who had a near perfect game on Donkey Kong, when one of his children threw a fit :) Well, I'll stop by now and then in this thread to admire our TPA Mount Rushmore.... :) Keep up the good work! PS: 211K on Central Park and 87M on Big Shot are probably bogus scores, without pointing fingers at Lupo because it's known that TPA can sometimes mess up and put scores from one table on the leaderboard of another. It's kinda strange that this may have happened to Lupo 2 times though. [/QUOTE]
