Actually it is.  That's 600 American so when you *gulp* convert it into Canadian, it's well over 20,000

Hey, it might be a good idea to change the rules to forbid point racking. There are some enemies that infinitely respawn if you don't kill all the other enemies and you could theoretically hang out on the same wave and just keep killing them for points. I don't know how easy it would be to do this because I've never tried.

Well, I'm pulling an mbd and looking at future games. Since Contra is a stone cold classic and I haven't really ever played it I finally rectified that. Just played through it with the Konami code. Now to learn it the honest way, and see if I can pull off a miracle top 8 finish against all you assholes who have been playing it for 30 years

Added a no point racking rule. Thanks for the heads up, Michael.

EDIT

Took away the no point racking rule after discussing it with guillavoie and we don't think it will be a problem.

Wait, we will be able to hang on the same wave, racking points for a while?
I guess I will have to make time to do another run during the week or my score won't be enough for a top 5 finish.

Rules were changed back. Not longer an issue.

Precisely.
I did my score without racking for points.

I hope I can get a run in this week.

As my life keeps getting turned sideways, we're moving in 6 days, so I've spent the bulk of the time since the honeymoon packing.

I don't want to point rack because it's boring. If allowing point racking turns the game into a marathon then maybe it should stay bannned. But it's up to the mods.

Point racking in this game might also be too risky. Maybe that's why the mods decided to allow it.

It is not only risky, but also boring.
Thoe ships are worth very few points, so you would spend a lot of time flying around to cause them to spawn.
But since it is allowed, I will pretty much end up doubling the run time of my score run so I can pad mine to 500K and up.
Pretty sure Skinny and Gloves will do that too!

Skinny says that he's terrible at this game, but I have a hard time believing him. I've already managed 150k and he's way better at shooters than I am.

Skinny will likely do his traditional Skinny snipe routine this week.  
And I am waiting on the new kid score as well. The game dificulty caps pretty quickly, so getting to wave Z isn't too difficult once you get the hang of it.
I wonder how many people will make it there this week.

Once I'm in the zone and I'm in a groove I can keep playing this for a long time. I could have gotten a lot more than 150k the other night had I not misread the rules as play until your last life rather than play until you lose your last life.

I have found that flying low tends to help clearing the stages faster.
Those Mars People (they have tentacles D: Tentacles are scary and evil!) tend to hang there quite often, making them sitting ducks to be shot.

Too bad it ain't happening.
I have this feeling we will be playing Ninja Gaiden 3 as the final game of the tournament this year, and with that Michael will get his first win, where it matters the most and will be the 2017 champion!
It will be epic and everyone will be cheerful and stuff!

Well Michael would have to survive the first two weeks for that to happen. Against the likes of you, arnpoly, table and Red, so...

Though it would be hilarious if we had two straight champs who had never won a game prior to their championship

Thanks, but I plan on getting my first win with the next beat em up.

Besides, the final game of the tournament will be Ikari Warriors and you'll easily win it.
