So, is Ross no longer planning on not submitting his score to TG out of protest? I thought he was gonna get the WR and hold it hostage to make a point. Just wondering watch happened with that sort of idea.

Remember he needed to submit a score in order to be in the top 12 in order to get his own machine at the Kong Off 3.   Also it's not a World Record, and him holding that score hostage is probably not going to be that big of a deal.   Now if he does get the World Record in the next couple of weeks that will be very interesting.

The score is TG Verified, Ross's KO3 spot is secure.

Major congrats Ross! It's awesome that you finally have a score that's much closer to representing your skill level and that you now qualify for a dedicated machine at KO3. Competition will be even tougher now.

You know I have been thinking about it.  Not only did Ross qualify for this years Kong Off, he also qualified for years 2014, 2015, and probably 2016 as well!

Ken, is this going to be highlighted on your stream, or is that broadcast saved forever? I can put TG on the HSL but I also like to make games available per link if at all possible.

It's amazing you all put up with me and actually tune into my streams when all I do is blare techno and bitch constantly.  I've gone back and watched parts of my streams before and it's embarrassing how much of a whiner I am, but I just can't help it.   

But that's the best part of the game is getting mad at it for being a dick.  Congrats man this has been an exciting month for DK.

About damn time, Ross!  Seriously though, it's great to see you actually putting some effort into the game that you make look so effortless.  We all knew you could get 1.1+ without much of a problem for a while, but now it's fo realz.  Congrats buddy, you earned it.

Now quit slacking and study for the FE! ;)

Well first huge congrats to Ross. Get that out of the way first. :D

Now Mitch looks like that isn't going to happen. He doesn't have to pay $60 to submit it so why would he not do it? This is a large part of the entire issue with the new TG setup and why a lot of people are handcuffed. I doubt anyone going to hold "hundreds" or "thousands" or arcade records anymore if its going to cost $6000 to have 100 records (if it cost $60+ for each one). If Dave M does manage to get back in the Top 12 he has to pay $60 to do it or travel across the country? I just feel that either everyone should pay or no one should pay. Can I ask Ken to watch my stream while I'm playing on my arcade machine and its free to submit then? Can't he just validate my game if its "live"? If not then I really don't think showing up at Richies or Ken's should be Carte Blanche for freebies. The only "freebies" should be events like the KO and other things like that if your trying to promote that atmosphere which does indeed make sense because that is where you want the people to come/support right?

Just my 2 cents nothing but love for ya all :)

I haven't watched the game, but I'm gonna propose the possibility that Ross intentionally got second place...

Second would make him, well, second, and also qualify for the KO (his priority), but would not come with the numerous additional "complications" of a new world record.

I will develop this conspiracy theory further over the coming days.

The point of me asking this was because it seemed like it was a matter of principle concerning not just the submission fees, but also their views on mame submissions. Even if for him the submission would be absolutely free, and even if he did the score on an arcade machine, and even further, even if it wasn't even the WR, one could still intentially not submit a good score with the explicit purpose of representing an opinion on those matters.
