Per Hank I have moved his list over to the DKF. What do you guys think we should do with this list?

"The list is accurate to the best of my knowledge.  Please chime in if you have updated information.  This list includes Arcade/MAME/Double DK scores—verified or not.  Basically self reported scores are OK unless there is evidence to the contrary (innocent until proven guilty).

Some of these scores are not actually killscreens (Billy Mitchell, Eric Howard, Ben Mazowita).  Some of these scores are not the player’s personal best (for example: Scott Kessler, Stephen Boyer).  The scores listed are the highest publically known scores by killscreeners.  This is NOT a ranking of who I think is better than who.  They are sorted by the highest publically known score.  They are all rounded DOWN to the nearest 1000.  If you know of a higher score by a certain player let me know.   The unknown killscreen scores are listed at the bottom (sorry Brian).

My guess is this list is incomplete by at least 10 people who have killscreened but have not made it public (in fact, I know of at least 1 killscreener not on this list.)"

ChrisP:
This list was great for its time, but at this point, what does it do that the forum's high score list and the Kill Screener Timeline don't do better?

hchien:
This list hasn't been updated in about a year because I lost the ability to edit the list on CAGDC.  I was going to say the same thing that ChrisP mentioned which is: between Corey's HSL and Chris's timeline, most of the relevant information is being tracked.  The only added value is self-reported scores.  There are lots of self-reported scores which we all/most of us believe but are missing-- Wag's killscreen, Scott Kessler's 1M, Kyle's new PB (which he told me he may not submit), etc.  Also didn't Svavar or Jon McKinnel up their PB without any proof?  I have little interest in maintaining the list, so I ask:

Should this list be continued?  Or should we make it a relic of DK history?

If so, I'd suggest having someone take it over (Corey would be the obvious choice) or make it open source (like Wikipedia) by putting it in a shared spreadsheet.

I'm fine with whatever the community decides.

corey.chambers:
This list could do a few things: 1) it would preserve real games that have no or little verification such as a photo, etc. 2) It would list all the killscreen scores in one list. For example, my highest killscreen is 964K but where is that listed now that I have one million game that is not a killscreen. The high score list may have some of this information, and the killscreen timeline only shows who has gotten a killscreen.

I propose that we reamp this list, clean it up, and get it to serve that purpose: To have a list of the highest killscreens (self-reported) We may need to critique it because there may be scores on here that are not killscreen scores etc. Was Scott Kessler's one million a killscreen? If we make this only a list of highest killscreens possible then I think it would serve a purpose.

What do you guys think about that?
