Allen, you're my hero. You also have a higher score than me in DK (at least until this weekend! )!
I bet that considering your score and Donkey Kong goals at the beginning of the year, and also taking into account me, Allen Staal, and Brian Allen's scores at the beginning of the year that never in your wildest imagination would you foresee a scenario where you would be behind all three of us score wise on October 9th. The turtles truly have past up the hare!
Also one more thing about Allen's score. I know it's not a killscreen, but I do feel this is the watershed moment for him. He now really is within striking distance of the killscreen. He passed up the official Brian Kuh score as well. I believe that if you can get past that score you are a legit player. There is something about the 700k mark that goes into the territory of a heavyweight score. There will still be a few people who say that's not a good score, but the vast majority of Donkey Kong players have to give credit where credit is due.
One last note. Allen Staal by his personality, and his constant dedication has long ago belonged in the fraternity of serious Donkey Kong players, but now I believe his score alone is enough to be part of the brotherhood of serious players.
