Who is she?
Where did she come from? One, just one, mark you, measly high score on one game and I get up this morning to find that somebody has ousted me from Blockbuster Champion 2006. I was only there a couple of days and now I'm not. I'm gutted, I worked my little socks off for my insignificant piece of glory and I'm never going beat 5,000. Don't tell me that it's all in the spirit of game playing and that it isn't winning that matters. It is. Do I ask for much? No....just to be champion of one little game out of hundreds...and maybe a secondhand cardigan. That's all. Do I get either? No.
Woe is truly me.

Pammie, you may have hidden game play vibes way beyond your highest expectations, so please send them my way whatever. But you'll have to really work hard at this cardy thing (although Betty didn't wear it yesterday and I think this may be because she's getting worried)

Re: Who is she?
Theia, I had the glory for about a week of being champion of the one game I like, and our beloved Pina, so skillful in the arts of the arcade, of course beat me. I will never be quick enough to regain that score, and have resigned myself to just playing that game anyway because I like it.
Now cardigans, I have no advice to give you.......................... ![]() |

It's gutting, isn't it Chons? I puttered along, day after day...it became my little game, my little haven, my little piece of arcade land, my little victory...and then, whoosh, it all came crashing down last night. I'm only glad I was asleep and didn't see it happen...that would have been worse. There ought to be a special section in the arcade solely for those whose playing is pants. But, of course, I'm not bitter. Betty is always one step ahead on the cardy ploy...sadly.

Re: Who is she?
Oh, I understand, Theia. I play Shangai2 and it took me 5-6 weeks to get that high score. I play that game, because, frankly, even with my new glasses I can't see the mahjong tiles well enough to play them. So I like Shanghai2, because the tiles numbers and pictures are bigger! But when that PM comes-YOUR HIGH SCORE IS BEATEN-well, then I say phooey! Bunch of tattle tales..................

Re: Who is she?
I am Monkey Cliff Diving champion!!!
...granted, not for long, probably an hour or two at the most, and well, it's a bit of a dubious title, but...hey...a title...and I'm making the most of it ![]()
