This is in response to GameBoy and others who were offended by my statement on Snipercade. Wow, I didn't realize my statement would offend so many... My apologies to all of you whom I did offend with my "casual gamer" remark. My intent was NOT to belittle MARP, or it patrons, by any means. The tournaments you run here, while I do not participate, are very well organized and thought out. Yes, there are some serious gamers here. My statement came from looking at the general scoreboard, and reading all the problems you have with people of "questionable character" and their scores. Yes, MARP has several world class players and I would not presume to debate anyone that argues the fact that I have some rather pathetic scores... :) My point was simply that Mark is the official scoreboard keeper for Mame (yes Ben, I too can decide what scores get into the book as per Walter), and I didn't want to impede the work he is doing, or confuse people, by having two separate boards for TG. MARP is, at this point in history, not an official TG board, and in all likelyhood, more than 95% of the scores on this site will NOT make it into the book of records. Why? Lack of a true means of verification and validation. If everyone was to use TG v3 and their scores were validated, then I see no problem at all with ALL MARP scores being incorporated into the book provided Mark can get to them in time for printing. :)(posted 9121 days ago)Again, my apologies to all and thanks for reading.
