[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 114704, member: 134"] Hey, at least it's an attempt at making things better! The problem before was that some of those scores just flat out became unobtainable once you realized how long you'd have to play to beat them. Therefore you'd give up playing all together. With 20 minutes, you know where the end is. If you are able to last the full time, you have a much better barometer of seeing just how off from the top score you really are. When we do five minute challenges in the chat room, scores can be wildly different, and it's all about figuring out how to score the most in a given period of time. That means you might just have to change your usual strategy of playing the table. Perfect example is Creature...do you try and get unlimited millions on the left ramp and maximize that way, or do you try and get multiball (which can be time consuming) and then go for jackpots? Jackpots for sure will boost the score, but if you miss them and go back to single ball mode, you're now way behind in points to the guy that was going for easy millions. So it's all about strategy and maximizing points. First though, you gotta be able to hit the 20 minute mark. [/QUOTE]
