And MeanGuy? Who plays on some weird platform that just blows up everything?
I do agree, I hate Boomer and Stella, with a vengeance

Hey @bunnyface keep yer knickers on both of the scores I flagged were posted in January 22.I'm not a fan of removing old scores when 'the rules were different'. Those guys you mention have a proven record. Orbitbird seems to have appeared from outer space and posted some suspect scores without proper proof. All he had to do was contact Major Tom.

There now I'm putting my knickers back on.

So @hunnybunny it's not the first time you've mentioned your suspicion of meanguy and in particular the platform he's using. What platform could he be using other than android, ios, or PC? (Oxford comma provided curtesy of Punctuation marks 'r' us).
Not being sarcastic, genuine question.

I do have an old xbox 360 knocking about somewhere and a pal gave me a copy of the AB Trilogy disc for xbox which apparently has it's own unique levels. Never got round to playing it yet but wonder if it produced higher scores?
Also heard that if you know your geeky gamer tech the old AB Chrome is still available. Beyond my pay grade but others might be using it?

See Rovio are in deep talks with Sega about a 1B $ buy out. Wonder what that would mean for the games we love, if anything?

@BrianN ask @karen68 about MeanGuy
@ixan57, a deal is deal: one bottle = one cap…

So @karen68 what's this about meanguy? @hunnybunny reckons he plays on a platform that 'just explodes things'. Think he might be in the SAS.

As regards IPL some miserable old sods just won't have anything to do with cricket that has entertainment at it's heart. If you like t20 you gotta love IPL.

@BrianN I agree with everything you said. The tally page would be nice. It used to be that one taken after the fact would be enough.

How do I watch IPL?

Hey, Richard Ayoade directed that Vampire Weekend video, @brianN. Might explain the Benny Hill moments. Apparently one single take.

Well well well. What do we have for today's Challenge but a level where @meanguy has an unexpected and tremendous explosion? Will this goad Mrs Bunny into action?

Yes a level that has an exploding platform. Didn't Q once make exploding platforms for James Bond?

So @sweetp take long deep breaths into a paper bag everything will be fine. I'm playing Summer Pignic 1-21 as we speak.

You're just spoiling for a fight @hunnybunny. You know I'm right. I'll have a 50 y/o aged Macallan thanks. X

Lunchtime report:

Beautiful day in Edzell and I'm enjoying one of Bel's delicious steak bridies. Karma disturbed however by the news that a long time and much loved nester is in a state of confusion. Never mind pet, these things happen as you get older. I'm here to help.

Step1:breathe deeply into this polythene bag... Er sorry that was a paper bag... Dunno what happened there.

Step 2:listen carefully while I speak very slowly and occasionally repeat myself.

Step 3:keep taking the Sanatogen.

Classic/schmassic both permitted now on leaderboard. Not everyone agrees but what's allowed is allowed.

We don't only compete against recognised players there are lots of older scores by players I don't know and I have no wish to see them purged from the record books even if a few of them are fishy. They were accepted back then so should be left alone even though no proof is provided (not required back then).
In fact I can remember a challenge level where I suggested an old top score by someone I don't know well(@Welshwitch55 I believe)be reinstated as it seemed to mysteriously disappear for no good reason.

As for score being taken down then reappearing you'd have to ask @sweetp about that. I suspect it hasn't been taken down as @sweetp is giving @orbit time for a reply to her request for proper proof of score. Even if he's no longer active he should get an email notifying him of the situation. He's been given more than enough time in my opinion.

I'm not sure how long the tallypage requirement as proof of score has been around(again maybe @sweetp or @karen68 knows?) and I'm not a nitpicker checking dates against every post to see which side of the line the date sits.
But I've been playing the Challenge for 2/3 years? And the rule has been around at least that long so it's not the case that OB did what was required. Both his hokey scores were posted Jan 22, that's way past 'back in the day'. You have to ask yourself why when he's savvy enough to realise a screenshot is required as proof of score he provides only ingame snapshot? It's just as easy to screen shot the tally page even now a year later he can still do that.

The fact that his score is doable is neither here nor there as what matters is whether it's legitimately attained or not. If you have any doubts check out the leaderboard for Piglantis 1-2.You'll see a scrum of flingers, some we know and love, some we know and hate, some we don't know. All having a mash up between 143k and 145k scrapping for every single point... then you have obird at 155k...
Just for fun I threw Quake at the level and after allowing for 4 unused birds guess what my score would've been? 155k in case you're wondering(voided level so as not to sully my beautiful Seasons).

I haven't suddenly become Dr Phibes scouring the leaderboards looking for scores to zap but the integrity of those boards has to protected.


Hope this helps your confusion

Ps feel free to nominate me for the badge @hunnybunny. I'll accept that as an apology.

Er... does anyone know anything about the witness protection scheme?

@DesperateDan ignore me and Brian. His supremacy battling with mine
Bet he makes a comment on that…

Edited! Edited!

Nah no offence taken at all @hunnybunny I was just trying to Adress the points you were making in my usual sarcastic fashion. Happy to stand corrected I thought the tally page rule also applied to top score as well. Bit of an anomaly that don't you think?
Also as I said to @karen68 if it had just been that score in Hairy Fogmother I would probably have let it slide but having just played Piglantis 1-2 I know that score is not genuine and it follows that others probably aren't.

Thanks for the nomination you're a good sport. Here's a tune for you...

Now Dan where's that paper bag? I'm going to put it over my head and sit in the corner... er... what did you use it for?

I know the Forest of Dean really well @hunnybunny. Many many hours spent running and cycling all over it. And under it too, as my father knew the original owner of Clearwell Caves and we went down into the labyrinth of passages before it was even open to the public. Watch out for the wild boar...

S'pose if I lived in Penarth I'd be on holiday a lot. Enjoy ur break in the forest but don't watch Cabin Fever before you go.

You can't call them the Brechon Beacons any more I'm sure it has something to do with Britain's colonial slavery ridden past.

'I changed for dinner". Have to ask what you changed into @hunnybunny? Answers on a postcard my fellow BP nesters.

There was an episode of Casualty years back when they used the Wye Valley road between Chepstow and Tintern Abbey to film a car crashing over the edge of a cliff. Except (to those in the know), the cliff scene suddenly switched to the other side if the valley.
Also I saw some tourists viewing the river from a viewpoint high above its tidal section when the tide was out commenting on how bad the drought was.
