So are yay and ARGolonists technically in the lead then?

As it would seem that TeamXbox and x-scene are doing things there not suposed to be doing all the time (cheating) and keep having there points shoot up and then have there points docked right down.
But where as yay and us (ARGolonists) keep nice steady totals 'fairly'.
Would you say/think that yay and ARGolonists are technically in the lead ?

OH and first post... HELLO

here's the thing... i'm pretty sure the teamxbox and the x-scene websites get a lot more traffic than this one (unfortuantely; i've read some of their forums, debate is much more interesting/organized here) so they have the mass numbers. at this point in the game, that's what's really important. so while they do keep getting bumped down (probably someone runing a script for signups) they shoot right back up again, either through the use of different scripts, or because they really do have mass numbers. as the game progresses i think yay, the argolonists, and these two teams will be in a constant (and hopefully more legit) struggle for supremacy.

We at TeamXbox do not cheat. The only time TXB has ever been knocked down in points is the time eveyone got knocked down in points, including you.

Team X-box and Xscene advantage is in their numbers... ours is in puzzle solving skill and organization. Unless the rules of the games change and there is more balance between numbers and problem solving, Xbox and Xscene will remain on top (cheating or not).

Read my post on strategy here:

Ecliptic: It's impossible for you to know if your team is no longer cheating. You've been booted twice already. Yay and ARG only lost a few hundred points probably due to people re-registering because they lost their p-word. TeamXbox lost about 100 thousand points.

why is it that whenever I refresh the /team/ page, TeamXbox are up another 50-100 points? They can't be recruiting that many people can they? Due to the lack of forums and picture upload availability, I seriously doubt that they are submitting enough puzzles to account for this increase.

Screenshot

You can read what message we got just a little while ago.


Edit: Inline linking that huge image was completely unnecessary. -SpaceBass

i mean the one i'm now being told is the team's image, but it's of the guy stood in front of the tanks and tiananmen square, with the words "everyone else" or something scrawled on it.
i'm probably wrong

Yeah its left over after all the crap that happened when our team page kept getting taken over. There were multiple pictures that ended up going up, that was the last one and we can't change it.

that message you got 'team xbox, more points for you today' wasn't just for you, everyone sees that message on their colony lounge.

I just don't understand how though? there's no way to upload images now, the forums have gone - there's only inviting people - and I simply refuse to believe the team is growing at THAT rate that you would jump ahead 5000 points in the matter of 3 days.

I still think the argolonists and team yay should merge seeing as we are essentially one team anyway.

People are getting pictures to appear on that page?

Is there some settings I should be adjusting in Mozilla for Linux?
