I AM WINNER! After another billion attempts, I finally managed to beat The Rev’s score on Deadline! By around 750k, I think. I even leapfrogged the next person up the list too! GLOAT.

Once more, The Rev thought he could beat my scores. In fact, he’d only beaten my King score (although his cheat-obtained Deadline score still stands), but not by a huge amount. After a few (say, 30) goes I’d beaten him by around a million points. Hurrah! Sadly, the news was not so good for Deadline. I beat my own score by another 300,000 or so, but didn’t manage to topple The Rev from his perch. Yet.

Several attempts at Deadline, Sequence and Pacifism to try and beat the scores I had set already, but unfortunately failed on all three. I think, in order to beat The Rev’s 4.5 million-ish on Deadline, I have to be up to around 600k after one minute, and 2 million after two minutes – and I just can’t do it.

So The Rev thought he could beat four of my scores, eh? Of course, they didn’t last long. I’d soon overtaken three of them again, and then went and improved even further on the two he couldn’t beat anyway (Pacifism and Sequence). I’m nice like that. Oh, and his Deadline score? He cheated. I’ve reported him for it. I was also nice to Something Witty, mainly by sending him messages while he was trying to beat my scores.

Four more games against my wife on the Europe map today, and, in a reverse of last night, four wins for me. I haven’t needed to use any stations yet though.

The Europe map was available for download today, at a slightly expensive 600 points. But I bought it, and it is pretty aces. Played four games with my wife, and she won all four. Of course, we were both totally thrown by the added new rules – the ferries, the tunnels, and the stations. They all make it a bit more complicated!

Hah! So That Rev Chap thought he could take me on today! Only his scores were thwarted with ease, and once again I was Champion. Champion of, erm, some, anyway. Later, I played again and almost completed Sequence mode. I can do the first 10 levels, without dying or using bombs, but not all in the same go. Which is a shame, as if I could do it, I’m pretty much guaranteed to complete the other 10 with the 5 …
