Cool... Did you know about the world ranking? I noticed your name is not in the list: -> http://www.blockout.net/blockout2/worldranking/index.php?set=2&width=3&height=3&depth=18 You need to upload at least 5 scores to make it there. (Well there is a chance that your scores are hidden aga...

Your score was not deleted but hidden, and it is back again in the charts.
It was recently marked as suspected by our anti-cheat procedures, but as it seems to be a legal one I restored it.

This is not a server space issue. The problem (as far as I know) is that playing time and/or number of moves are so many that the script that checks them will timeout. I\'m sorry but currently there is no solution for this issue. Here you can see other user had the same problem, with the same setup ...

I added some checks to prevent cheat scores like these to be shown. They can be uploaded, and they will appear in the \"Recent Scores\" list, but they won\'t show in the Online Score Database and they won\'t be used for the World Ranking computation. I can\'t say *all* possible cheats are ...

There is a known (technical) problem with huge replay files. Replay files bigger than 1MB won\'t be correctly processed. Also there is the chance that your replay file is smaller than 1MB, but the playing time and/or number of moves are so many that the script that checks them will timeout. Unfortun...

@amit: Asking for more information from the users or improving the user<->score association requires some software enhancements, and unfortunately that\'s out of scope by now... Some time ago I thought about using the \"comments\" field to enter a secret key or password (e.g. this forum pa...

#4 is not bad at all...

And I take the chance to announce that the ranking turned \"official\"!
You can check it right here:

Because the ranking system averages the five best scores in last two years and seems that your scores are a little older than that.
The idea is to show the status of current players.
You could try to upload newer scores.

Good luck!

Actually my idea was to show the current status of regular players. The all-time high score information is always available here.
Ideally I\'d like to average the 10 best scores in last 12 months, but there are not too many players that qualify for that (and some technical restrictions).

hmmm, not sure - I always found it up&running so far... it\'s free web hosting anyway, so I cannot do much about it

Hi,
I decided to setup an external web page listing the unofficial \"Blockout II World Rankings\", to overcome the long-known problem of score pollution in the online score database.
Here\'s the link:

It\'s very simple - take a look!

Hi Herc, Here\'s a question I posted some time ago. I want to use the \"getscores.php\" script to build a ranking system. Is there any way to retrieve all the scores, or page the results, or order by timestamp instead of score? Currently it seems to be limited to the top 1024 scores. Thank...

Just for fun, here are the top ten for the other two classic setups (average over 5 best scores in last two years): Flat Fun: 1 Gosho 295763.8 2 Micha 192033.8 3 Sidon 178221.2 4 rud 171082.6 5 Azeret 166586.8 6 LoGaN 154416.0 7 gabe 154377.2 8 Knorrke 152002.0 9 Daoud 146840.0 10 Niero 146205.4 Out...

Yeah, actually that\'s the point! I also proposed cleaning up the score list long ago, but there are many players who upload each and every score they make. So... \"if you can\'t beat them, join them\". Just upload your best 5 or 10 scores and you will enter the ranking (I mean, if it is o...
