**Top Score!**- Why are the recipients of this magnificent Gold Trophy so silent ?.. Page 1
-
Having just scanned through the thirty walkthroughs on Seasons "Ham'o'ween" brought up one question for me: "Why are the top scorers so paranoid about sharing their strategies?" Hard to believe, but of the thirty levels only four members took the time to write a few words on their success. We're all members of Angry Bird Nests, why not start playing like team-mates instead. Who knows, the game may even get better in the end. These are only my thoughts, thanks for reading, Marc..

Sometimes I wonder if those people exaggerate their scores just a liiittle bit so they are on the top of the board...

I have to agree, marc. Nature's write-ups for all of the Ham-o-ween levels have been a boon to the community.

frozndevl - That's exactly why we're all here at ABNest. We download the AB Episodes, play them as best we can, compare our shots to BirdKing's videos, download our hopefully improved scores to the Leaderboards, celebrate our successes, admire our Gold Trophy for Top Score, then *many* for some reason disappear into oblivion never to be heard from again, not too cool! For almost two years I was "shooting" out of playhaven.com that's now closed up, there we had a "silent rule" that we all played under, it was very simple,.. "share together". I posted a long running "24 Hour Thread" where we played every AB level in detail with only one goal in mind, sharing the best top score shots and strategies. Its no secret the best players in the world were there. Don't pat me on the back but in my short time here as an active member I've shared Rio's AirField Chase 1-15, Ham'o'ween's 1-13, last night's 2-4 and several other levels, why ? Because I'm here on a forum, to have a few giggles and share a few strats on the playground that ABNest has made for us. To my "old school" way of thinking, the very least I can do in return is contribute to their efforts and to the game I love with other "shooters", I almost typed, "crazies". Anyway, I better stop enough has been said. If we can share more I guarantee every score will improve period. Thanks for posting your thoughts, Marc..

@Marc, I thought I'd join just to chime in here =) It takes a lot of work to prepare a strat as we did on PH everyday (ie. descriptions, screenshots, score amounts, etc). What worked well was the 24 hour thread (more focus on individual levels rather than being scattered) as well as the camaraderie like we went on 2-4. It's all that banter along with the strat sharing that makes it fun. There's a reason why during Summer Pignic, it sure seems like there was so much discussion activity here as well as PH. However, as you know, activity always goes down with the same individuals always posting. What I enjoy are different strats of taking on a level and when there's limited responses for extended periods of time, it can get frustrating. Perhaps we can post the "best" strat that we've come up with after our daily threads here on ABN as I do agree with you that it's always nice to give back too.
Some ways that can improve discussions on ABN:
1) If you used someone's strat and did well, take a moment to say thanks with any other details that helped you get that score.
2) Post alternatives even if it's a lower score (as you do Marc) as the alternative may have just not reached the full potential yet.
3) Have fun =)
Sorry for the rant, you know how I feel about sharing Marc ;) -
Great discussion guys. I couldn't agree more.
