The Highscore Rankings

[zapkt]

Also, I had never seen automatize used before, and I've seen you use it twice, so I just thought I'd comment on it. Although technically correct (the best kind of correct), we usually say automate and automation to describe the process of automating something. At first I thought you were being cute, as admittedly, it is fun to say; further research indicated that, while acceptable, seems to be used less. Then the Oxford dictionary accepts automize/automise as well. Perhaps the alternatives have simply fallen out of favour by obsolescence? I suppose it's like how you can say tediousness and tedium; either are acceptable.

So, was your usage correct? Yes.
Why did I go about this thinly veiled rant? I don't know.
Will I stop using English and fully convert to Spanish? Unlikely.

Unsurprisingly, "automatize" comes from French. In English, it's an older form and it's not a suprise it's not used a lot anymore. I guess the spanish word is close. I would have said "automatize" instead of "automate" too :p

[TheRealOne]

Hehe, you need to try some 44-1 first, before dropping me to zero 0ths!

The gauntlet has been thrown !

[golf]

Otherwise, its mostly me trying to improve my total level score, and pass the whole grouping of Lim/lat/eru

I'm watching ;)

Don't hold your breath, it'll be a while before I make it there... too busy through the end of the year. Sorry to everybody if this repeating theme of mine is getting tiring, its making me tired too :P

Total Score for golfkid:

Total Level Score: 71200.425 (19:46:40.425)

Dammm. I was trying to beat you there. Picked up 40 seconds over the last three days.

Nice job though anyway.

If you keep up that kind of pace, you'll probably beat me to passing Lim and co., and by extension to 71.3k. What kinds of levels were you playing that still had that much left for you to pick up?

[EddyMataGallos]

Glad you enjoyed guys ^^

Hehe, you need to try some 44-1 first, before dropping me to zero 0ths!

Touché, sir :3 But I'll persevere on this movement until it succeeds, regardless of how many years it takes! Ocuppy Lim did take a couple years at least. There's something you can do though...

Also, I had never seen automatize used before, and I've seen you use it twice, so I just thought I'd comment on it.

Oh, to be honest I had no clue, I assumed that was the correct spelling. But now that you say it, automate does sound familiar. zapkt is right, the spanish version, automatizar, is what mislead me.

[ska]

haha, as I've already said, please feel free to continue using it if you wish, as it is acceptable! XD

I've slowed down now. Mostly just going through my worst levels list and picking ones that seem easy... More than 5 seconds each on 64-4, 56-4 and 92-3.

[ska]

Just out of interest, can we find out the last time zapkt wasn't in the top-20 for top-20 scores?

[Hendor]

Just out of interest, can we find out the last time zapkt wasn't in the top-20 for top-20 scores?

I'd guess it's in early 2006. He hit 100 scores in February and had 300 by June.

[ska]

Wow... 8 years! zapkt might want to notch up a few more scores if he does't want to fall off the board! ;)

I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO

[vankusss]

How about another podcast, ska? If Hendor/zapkt/eru/xaelar/tfk are in or something.

If at least two of those people you mentioned commit to a new episode, I will do one for old times' sake.

[xaelar]

I haven't been active in the last years, that's why I'm not really up to date with regard to N.

[zapkt]

What is that?

Bonjour, zapkt!

If you mean podcasting in general, then look here.
The relevant thread for the one off highscoring podcast is here.
The direct MP3 download/stream is here.
The original podcast thread is here; however, all of the links are dead ― which reminds me: does anyone have copies of all (or some) of the original MP3s for archival purposes?

Edit: managed to find some old episodes, including episode 2 (which I did with Lenny), Podcast II (The Lost Cuts) and Podcast XXXIV. I don't even know what the latter two are, and they don't even sound like they were edited... I might look for some more on an even older laptop I have... but yeah, if you guys could help out, that'd be great. I've just sent another PM to Lenny, so hopefully he sorts that shit out. My blog seems to have miraculously come alive again, too... how weird... I thought I lost the nameservers :P

I know I'm not in that list, but I'm up for another one. If its going to happen this year, hopefully my availability will line up with everybody else's. Had a lot of fun with the last one, maybe this time you won't expect only a half-hour podcast :P

[vankusss]

I know I'm not in that list, but I'm up for another one.

I hope I didn't offend you, I'd like to hear everybody, but since we've already heard your sexy voice, it's not so 'exclusive'.

Understood, no offense was taken. Was just saying that I'd throw my hat in the ring as a participant, even though I wouldn't be one of the main/new draws.

The more the merrier. :)

Some trivia: Over 70% of 0ths are now owned by Eddy. More than 11/12 0ths are now owned by either macrohenry or Eddy, with a percentage of 91.8%. (This doesn't factor in ties between Eddy and Macro, such as 5-2), so the actual fraction is less. Can anyone easily determine the levels that both macrohenry and Eddy are tied for 0th on?

P.S.

Eddy, could you please take 199-4? The fact that Lim misses that piece of gold has been bugging me for ages... literally. (That gold on the left is probably worth collecting, too.)

You can do this by player comparison, and then just take the levels at the end. I just put both lists, as one has the ties where macro is above me, and the other one viceversa.

It's a good start, but this list doesn't include 0ths that are not held by either of you, so is misleading. For instance, 34-1 (which looked familiar to me, and for good reason) is a 0th held by yours truly, so it is exempt from calculation. You could go through those 28 manually, I suppose...

Whoops, you're right, I forgot that counts all ties xD The corrected list would be:

Granted, its easy to code a function to do this, though I'm not sure how useful it would be apart from this trivia:P

for this reason can i get a list of 0th rankings without eddy and maybe a 0th rankings without eddy+macrohenry? (i can't be bothered to update my nhigh to do it myself)

since both of you are so dominant nowadays it's sort of intriguing to see what would have happened if you didn't exist. also the 19th cutoff for the 0th rankings table would actually make sense
