On my wish-list

[Freddy]

Since the future Custom Mansions World High Scores List only can be made by manual work, I am afraid that it only will be possible to bring FINISHED mansions into account.

In this era of digital retouching, not even screenshots prove anything. I could go into photoshop and make my screenshot say anything at all.

Still, we can agree to be honest, and the honor system mostly works with small groups of people.

I have the solution! We promote ryos to the chief of the CMWHL and we send him our ... movies. No more cheating!!! I suggest we start with MMaM. Movies from 6 to 12 hours each ... ;D ;D 8-) 8-)

I've tried to get a movie from Rose, everyone, but it wouldn't work! My computer would'nt reconize the data! MM wouldn't open it! Vern? :-? I think this is something on the to-do list. Well we can easily get a camera and point it at the screen and record the computer.

Try having her zip the movie before sending it. Hopefully that'll do the trick.

I remember that Psychotronic had the same problem with his computer. He couldn't receive MM-movies unless they were ... zipped. Odd, but it worked.

Ooohhh.... It might work... anyways... People should try to send movies of them beating mansions! I'd love to watch people sit there for 80 minutes playing a mansion! ;D

BACK TO THE TOPIC.

I see two problems about making a Custom Mansion High Scores List.

1° In contrary to the included mansions, custom mansions are much more changing. And any change of a mansion may have consequences for secrets, dollars and time. Example. Once, I reported a Jack-stuck to a designer. He was so nice to fix that silver/gold problem by adding an extra lever AND because of the inconvernience he also added a few moneybags. Very nice gesture, but ... Or more recently: the changes in Happy Christmas! and Sky Boxes certainly have their consequences.

2° The LIST itself. When the list is one post with the ten highest scores of all (now 57) custom mansions, than it will be an extremely long post. But when I make a board with a topic for each custom mansion, than there will be many pages with topics AND sorting topics is NOT possible. A topic is fixed to the date and time it got started.

It is even possible that an upgrade of the MM-game itself influences the high scores. But that is the same for the included mansions of course.

What if you put the version beside the score? :
