Each week, we will be adding a new game to the NDN Arcade. We will then give everyone 7-days to try to get the high score on the new game. The person with the high score at the end of the 7-days will receive a $5 Amazon.com gift card.

The new game this week is: Mosquito Mayhem

Click here to play Mosquito Mayhem and compete for the high score! (https://www.nodepositneeded.com/forums/arcade.php?act=Arcade&do=play&gameid=67)

Be sure to come back and brag in this thread if you have the current high score!

obviously somebody knows how to manipulate the arcade scores

I haven't noticed anything particularly fishy with regards to the current arcade game contest...

maybe somebody has nothing better to do than play the arcade games?Nobody but NDN and I have access to the DB ...

Well go play spear toss and then tell me how it is possible to get a score of 41577 or whatever it was.There is no way in God's green earth to score that much.I really haven't seen who is leading the contest and don't think it matters but I just think it should be addressed that these scores can very obviously be altered in this casino and I don't know how or on which games but think it should be looked into because it is not right and do we really know if any of these are valid? I can bet every cent I have that the Spear Toss score is bull-puckey.Sorry but people who cheat really piss me off.

It is possible to edit the arcade game scores. Terpz did it about a year ago, and posted somewhere as to how. Its a little file you use, and when it submits your score, you edit the URL or something to make it say a different score..

Also, the highest score possible in spear toss is only 530 ish. Thats the world record.

Its not a database issue, its a hack when submitting scores. And no, ic ant do it, and i hate people that do.

I'll try to address this as soon as I can. I am currently moving house at the moment so my time is limited.

I should say though, I am aware that some arcade scores can be manipulated, but I don't believe any of the scores have been manipulated on the arcade game tournaments (aside from the one where you (Marakesh) and I found a bug in a game that we then replaced).

Herlis is a long time member and I don't believe there was any malice intended if he manipulated a score in a game that is only here to be played for fun (that game has not been and never will be included in our arcade game tournaments).

Congratulations Herlis; you are the winner of this week's arcade game tournament!
