I think that more people would start grinding high scores if the Arcade places owners would start offering some kind of gifts for breaking records or do events to make people realise what its really about.

That is completely true, I've noticed it myself, very few people care about the high scores. However I think an International League like the pinball folks have would really help bring the hobby forward and put it more into the mainstream.
I'm still not quite sure about it, we could possibly do just the hosting of the image and people can sign up to get the credentials to submit the scores or i could sell full on plug and play boards/kits with a raspberry or windows box. I even have the logistical possiblity of offering full on ready to use tournament machines within Europe.
The way I see it everyone could host an official IAL tournament with manual scorekeeping and original games. It's not necessary to have a machien to be a member, you be in it just for the tournaments.
well since you already said you're not interested i didn't feel the need to? there's still a lot of open questions and i don't blame you all I mean we're all nerds in some sort or the other. so far a lot of things are still up to debate we'd just need a few volunteers to set up the association and get started. maybe tomorrow i will have some time to set up the website and publish a lot more info on there. I hope this makes things a lot clearer.

i'm just shocked there hasn't been a massive take-up on this, i have worked in IT nearly as long as you have been alive
as part of a company that has to protect and keep an entire infrastructure safe, i think i am pretty well informed of risks

Yeah yeah yeah, we're ARCADE HOBBYISTS! We are running an AMUSEMENT ARCADE! What gives you the impression that something like an official automatic highscore list needs to be super well regulated and super secure? It's just a hobby project for god's sake! If you don't want it for yourself it fine but please do me a favor and stfu with your bullshit about data security and compliance. WE ARE LITERALLY JUST MAKING AN AUTOMATIC HIGHSCORE LIST FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
so mr bigshot if you're so smart tell me one thing: Why tf do you feel the need to have such a go at me and INSULT ME and DOUBT MY POSSIBLITIES AND SKILLS! Do you know me? What gives you the right to badmouth me as a person or my project? What technical detail do you have an issue yet? What's that? The technical details haven't even been determined yet? Still you need to already go on the barricades about it an badmouth me. FUCK YOU
Also i just had a skim through all your past posts. I haven't found a single one where you show of your collection or even a single arcade machine. Do you even own a single arcade machine? Are you actually in the hobby or are you just a smartass shutting down people's ideas? Do you actually have and knowledge and skills when it comes to arcades?
If you want a future in this arcade industry, I'd suggest you try being more diplomatic towards the guy who owns and runs some of the best arcades in Europe.
He might just know what he's doing.
And he's been doing it since you were a teenager.
You might be a shit-hot programmer, but chill with the "I'm the bollocks and my ideas are brilliant"
We're all mostly kids from the 80's here.
I've got pcbs older than you.
I've got cd's older than you.
You earn respect, you don't demand it.
Flouncing off in a huff 3 pages into a thread tells me, this isn't going anywhere.
If you're that brittle, this adventure will just piss you off.
The old arcade dudes can and will wind you up. On purpose if you rise to the bait. It's fun.
Unless this is an exclusive Mr Do! High score list thingy.
Then I'm in.

i hope he is on blood pressure tablets, if he isn't, he soon will be
So basically what you're saying is i'm supposed to be a good little bitch and suck up to you all because you're older than me? As if having stuff that is older than me is any kind of flex, i own the very same things older than myself. Sorry I'm not aware who you're talking about, the mr bigshot who owns all the arcades in Europe? I haven't met him or identified him on this forum. All I've gotten so far is a bunch of jackasses ouright badmouthing this whole project before anything has been even done. Just from the get go. just out of principle. And I'm even getting INSULTED here. What do you do if someone INSULTS you? You either insult them back or hands fly. That said If this was an IRL conversation we would have exchanged hands already!

I’m new here and I want something from you. So for me to attain my objective… FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, YOU CAN SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND WHILST I’M HERE, BEING A FUCKING WIRDO, FUCK YOU TOO! Any takers on my idea? 😆🤭
"Do it on Sharepoint", yes master, you are older than me i must obey. "Do it on WIndows, Open Source is bad!" - "Yes master you are older than me I must obey" I'm not that sort of bootlicker. I have an idea of how I'm gonna handle the technical part everything else is still up to debate. Which games we should play, what the rules should be. how the tournament scoring should work. Those would all be brilliant topics to discuss. But I guess it's much better to just condemn every new idea that comes along, god forbid you'd have to participate in something!
I know that's probably how I'm going to come off. But if you read the thread carefully I'm simply firing back form actual INSULTS I have received.
Killed me XD LOL

dear dear me
i'm guessing the mods are finding this thread amusing because it should have been closed a while back
i'm convinced now you are a troll for calling the guy who owns Arcade Club "mr bigshot"
and then you are talking about "hands flying"...LOL
i suspect i know who you are as well and this is an alt account
Oh you're talking about that guy. What exactly did I say to him that wasn't diplomatic? He simply said he's not interested and that's a perfectly respectable stance to have. I guess he did take offense that I didn't reply to him at first but why should I if he said he's not interested?
if you took 5s out of your busy life as a 50 year old IT SECURITY EXPERT with over 30 years of experience, much more years than those stupid youngins and their stupid linuxes you could see that I run an arcade here in Switzerland and have my own arcade club and actually have a youtube channel too. You can actually see my face if you go on my youtube page.
But sure Sherlock I'm just a troll alt account
