Call me stupid, but after all this conflicts associated with cheating I just want to keep the contest fair. I can confirm that xCruss posted his current score about one day before the contest ends. I have seen the score when I uploaded my 76K+ score. I hope my comment is helpful for you 1stSPIN. I think otherwise it would be quite hard to prove this, because any score changes would result in a update of your current submit score time in Game Center, it doesn't even matter if you get you score hours before (offline). Maybe other players could confirm this.
Thanks iphoneapps. Thats really helpful cause as you said, I cant really prove it unless other also saw my name there. Edit: Im late on reading but i saw some members wants the 4096 tile as proof. Here is mine. http://imgur.com/DCvl8ln (I cant upload the pic. TA app and safari both crashes when i try to add attachment. lol)
That result shows the tile was obtain in 16 minutes and you game center show you got it in 13 minutes. Can you explain that
Lol. i didnt say that was the screenshot where i got my lowest time for the 2048 club. It was the proof that i can get to the 4096 tile. Obviously i was playing a different one when i reached my fastest time.
Did you check if I was in the 2048 club the day the contest ended? Because of course if you checked just recently you will find my fastest time was achieved days after the contest because i still play the game. That doesnt mean that i just got to the 2048 club that day. It means thats the day my highscore was updated.
I am not about to steal the second place prize, but as I remember, I checked GC table at 0:20 AM NY(after contest end time), and iPhoneapps had the score of 76k+. I remembered this moment well, because at the same time I noticed that xCruss have beaten my score and I was disappointed because I had no time to prove I'm better. Choice is yours, I don't really care, because contest is ruined anyway
Thanks you. Now we just need to resolve 2nd place and I am ready to pay the winners. Do you want me to ask iPhoneapp or do you think you can resolve it with him?
The rules says post your GC name when you start playing, not after the competition is over. How else can we tell who to beat if the rule is not followed? The dev should take a screenshot of GC at the contest closing time. Any last minute score posting should be on the forum comment prior to contest closing time and verified on the GC shortly after. Just my 2 cents.
One more thing. GC shows the time of achieving the high score definitively. If it is so important for you to win, I will suggest to not beat your score again until you get your prize.
Well it seems, that I have nearly the same problem as xLaios. In my point I view I should got the score right before the contest ends (because according to my Phone, where I checked all updates of this thread, 1stSPIN's post about that the contest will end in 50 minutes was posted about 44 minutes ago, at the moment I got my 84K+ score). So I still had 6 or more minutes left. But sadly my iPad have no 3G connection and I wasn't at home at this time. First after I reached the university and was able to connect the iPad to the Wifi, my score was uploaded to the Game Center. But I can't prove this and at this point it's up to 1stSPIN to decide. If Megalitum is right, then he should get the price money for the second place.
I like the way you all came to a decision. Prize will be awarded to these players 1st Place - xCruss 86,232 - Cash Prize $86.23 2nd Place Megalitum Maximum Cash Prize $50.00 3rd Place iPhoneApps Maximum Cash Prize $25.00 Please PM with your game center name and your paypal account. On Monday I will pay out the cash prizes. Thank you to everyone who played. Sorry about all of the problems with cheats. My group is close to finishing some new games and we will have the competition again. But this time I want players to be approved. I don't know the all serious members here, the ones who believe in this community so I want to elect some members to stand up and approve the ones they know from years of posts here for the next game. I will also do my part to build some code that will make it easier to verify the scores. I would like to make iPhoneapps and Megalitum the first 2 who can decide who will play the next game. That is of course if they accept.
1st Place - xCruss 86,232 - Cash Prize $86.23 2nd Place Megalitum Maximum Cash Prize $50.00 3rd Place iPhoneApps Maximum Cash Prize $25.00 Winners could you please pm me with your Game Center name and paypal account. My office lost the info. Don't bother I found the info
The office has all the info to make the Paypal payments. They should be finished by now. Once you check your paypal accounts and see that you received your payment, please post acknowledge that here. Once again thank you to all who played.
Glad everyone got paid. When I gave instructions I was not able to stay in the office to make sure they sent the right amounts to everyone. After years in China I know that instruction can go wrong mainly because my Chinese is not that good and they can misinterpret them. Now I will plan the next competition once we complete the game and build in some extra security so that cheats have a hard time destroying your chances of winning with fake scores.
