imho OP, while I genuinely do appreciate the effort of running a competition, I think an Imp Zone Arcade thread would work better as just a compilation of all the Imp high scores for these classic games, without a time limit. Like a forum wide high score screen that people can post their scores to whenever

agreed

Definitely see ur point & I support someone making a general "Leaderboard" type thread but personally I like competitive gaming spirit and also the idea that doing a single game sort of forces you to focus in on a game in a way that maybe you wouldn't if you had unlimited time & game choices.
if its just me & Lyle goin head 2 head for the Tapper Doge trophy...works 4 me.

the point of an arcade is a place to go whenever you’re in the mood to play one of these games, and to see how other semi-anonymous people have done at them; maybe people just didn’t want to play tapper this week, maybe they won’t next week, but then when they do they can come see what the score to beat is and try for a badge

I think the thread and the badges and everything are cool and very good don’t get me wrong, I just think the pace of this forum tends to be a little inconsistent for weekly challenges

The way I was thinking of it was like - the way a "movie of the week" thread would work in a forum where each time there's a new thread that links back to the old ones so that way if people want 2 continue competing there's a place for that as well as a place for what's currently goin on so it's like games getting added to an arcade. But I could see how that might get out of hand compared to a single larger thread, but, like you said...not like IZ is that fast moving.

There's still plenty of time till the 27th, and everybody loves to do some gaming on the weekend. I also like the idea of the victor picking the next game

The thing that's a bummer with Tapper is that a lot of the fun of tapper is the big fake plastic tap you get to flick and smack.
