First of all this is exactly the point I was trying to get across. I could easily set up an electric drill or cordless screwdriver or whatever electric button pushing method you prefer and achieve what the person I have accused of cheating has done. It's not difficult.

Secondly to Syrreal I never accused anyone of hacking. The thing that gripes me is that I button pressed my ass off for 2 hours straight to get the score I got, so I'm 100% certain that it cannot be manually achieved.

Finally if I am proved wrong then I will gladly, publicly apologize.

And now, as if to add insult to injury my points total seems to not be adding on. I left the game page open deliberately so as not to lose my score (and shall continue to do so). I had/have every intention of donating the prize to charity, (If I win). Here's the proof of where I'm at so far (20,190 points). I will continue to click away every free moment I have and if it comes to the crunch I will PM Arg410 on the last day of the contest and send him a screenshot of my final score that I have manually achieved.

Whoa whoa whoa

First of all, I didn't notice anything about any giveaway or prize, nor did I intend to win anything more tangible than medal points.

Next, let me declare my method: I used mousekeys (a legitimate function of the Windows OS) and a tiny weight on my keyboard. Call that cheating if you will, because in a sense it is. Now I know this will carry over to whether I deserve to stay in the local "top medal points" list, since it's known to exclude known hackers and cheaters. Well...I'll leave that to majority opinion here.

I mean, seriously, I just got into the game, scanned the medals list and went "alright, I need to 'click' one million times. I know an easy way to do that", and just did it. Soon enough, I got my medals, smiled, and closed the page. I honestly didn't even stop to read the author's description.

As for the legitimacy of my actions...welll...I just thought it was fair enough. Maybe you thought using (or abusing, depending on your opinion) right-click on the Balrog maze games was OK. Maybe you didn't. I honestly felt this was in the same category, and I also honestly thought that mousekeys+weight was the "duh" thing to do when it comes to these mass-clicking stuff. Maybe you thought that right-click abuse was ok and this was not. That's fine. Maybe you now think I don't deserve to be in the medal points list. That's fine (no, really)

I just wish I hadn't stirred up so many emotions here. Peace, ok?

Thanks heaps for replying/explaining queenofbabes. If you found a way around the 1 million button presses then more power to you. I have no problem with you keeping the medals/points or retaining your spot on the Medal Points List (you've earned that) but I do have an issue with you winning any of the prizes up for grabs from dubious methods and yes, I personally consider what you done, dubious methods. I think you should take yourself out of the running for the prizes, that's just my opinion. I have nothing further to say on this matter.

I guess I should extend a more personal apology to you and anyone else who had honestly tried so hard in this game using the 'proper' way. Admittedly, when I saw your posts, my first thoughts were "Oh dear, you mean someone out there is silly enough to actually try to click their way through such a a silly contest?" But I then admonished myself for trampling on the honest competitiveness of gamers around here, and realized that I am in no position to judge. After all, if I had felt that a dubious method like mine was well in the acceptable range, my moral standards are probably more corrupt than most.

So, for what it's worth, I'm sorry.

Oh, about the prizes, the author told me he had kicked me out of the list, and I told him I'm cool about it.

Personally, I'm not sure why people are so excited over a 10 dollar prize. It certainly Ain't something that should cause bad blood among us. Maybe I should get rid of all the medals for the game. That might help cool things off.....

I don't consider what Queen did as cheating, or hacking, in any way. I knew that he had used some sort of auto click feature for his mouse, because I was planning to do the same thing. I'm not going to waste 3-6 days clicking a stupid game that I gave a score of 1 on. A game that might glitch, or where the Flash might crash, losing all progress made. And I certainly have no interest in killing off my finger in a competition to see who can develop carpel tunnel syndrome first, and certainly not for 10 bucks - and I didn't even know that money was involved until people began making a stink over it.

I think the author is well aware of this particular feature, and he has an idea of the approximate time it might take people to complete the challenge, which is why he made a close date for it - and I think he may have used it himself.

I don't want to see this type of thing happening again around here. You have a problem with the way someone earned a medal, you talk to the mods about it. We'll investigate it, and take appropriate actions if needed.

was planning to do what Queen did, because I'm not going to waste 4-6 days, trying to get a 25 point medal. I would also be royally pissed if the game glitched, or if the flash player crashed, and I lost all progress if I did it the way the author intended.

I also believe Queen. I also didn't notice the cash prize for the game, until people started accusing him of cheating. I gave the game a 1, because I hate those types of games and saw no redeeming quality to it - no effort. I also looked at the timeframe

15X combo worked for me (and two others). Can you test that one again please? I will PM the author about these other two.

15X worked for me after deleting the .swf file and replaying the game, but the other two still aren't working even after .swf deletion twice.

First you need to find the piece of paper with the L/R-combinations.
The L and R shows which note you have to play (e.g. L12 = 12th note from the left / L12 = 12th note from the right) . The combination on the bottom of the note shows the order you have to play.

Now that SFS1313's question has been answered, I still need the answer to how to get the Reveal the Basement medal.
