Here is the thread where I will be announcing when I have updated the scoreboard. I don't update the Merqurycity.com index page when I have updated the scoreboard, so stay tuned to this thread and feel free to post questions should you have any.
While I have your attention, it's very important to read the rules about all scoreboards here on Merqury City. Once you know the rules, you will understand the way I work and the way the scoreboard works.
Merqurycity.com Scoreboard Rules
The following rules apply to all the scoreboards located at Merqurycity.com.
1. All scores should be submitted via the scoreboard submission form. You must have an working account in the Gravitude Bar (our forum, located here) to submit a score.
We don't accept score submissions off of the forum. That means you can't pop-in to a thread and say "I got 3 million on a track" and expect it to be on the billboard the next day. The reason is two fold: a) It's way too easy to claim you set a number one score on a billboard and then disappear. b) Often when someone submits a score on a billboard, they neglect to include all the necessary information like rider used, board used, etc. Using the scoreboard form ensures you do that.
2. Be sure that the e-mail listed on your Gravitude Bar account works if we have questions.
When you submit a score using the scoreboard form, we may have to contact you via e-mail if we have questions about your score. If the e-mail doesn't work and we get a returned e-mail, your score doesn't get posted, it's that simple. You can point us to a web page with a picture or PM it to gondee or laidback0378 to be sure we get it.
If possible, use the screenshot upload page to upload screenshots onto the server. While we do accept screenshots/video links from other web pages, if you do not upload the screenshots onto the server, the link may eventually become broken over time if you move or delete your files. While the score will still stay verified on the scoreboard, people may not like it if they click on a screenshot link and are presented with a dead link.
Please note that you cannot upload files larger than 100K on the server. The server will also only accept JPEG, GIF and PNG files. So you cannot upload BMP (bitmap) or video (.wmv, .mpg, etc.) files onto the server. If the service is abused, it may be removed.
3. In order for a score to say "Yes" under the Verified column on the scoreboard, it must be proven that you got the score.
In most cases, this involves having a screenshot linked to the score that serves as proof that the score is true. If you have shown a video of your run on the Gravitude Bar and one of the scoreboard administrators has seen it, it will be permanently approved with no link. However, we would still prefer that you submit a screenshot just to show other people that you did indeed make the score. If there is no screenshot attached to a score and you have shown no video of your run in the forum, your score will be temporarily approved and will be listed as "No" under the verified column. You then have 14 days to submit a screenshot/video to confirm your score. You may do this two ways. The first is resubmitting a score entry identical to the one that you submitted before, making sure to put down a screenshot/video link in the entry. The scoreboard administrators will view the proof and accept the score, and it will "overwrite" your existing score. The second is sending a link to your screenshot to one of the scoreboard administrators (gondee/laidback0378) and they will add the screenshot to your score and verify your entry.
Please note that you MUST have VIDEO of certain freestyle and racing SSX 3 scores before they can be confirmed. The various glitches (rail glitch, wormholes that skip 90+% of the track) in the game make it impossible to realistically verify scores by screenshot. Don't blame us, if we could verify otherwise, we'd still allow it. However, we will allow screenshot proof of wormhole race times as we have done that in the past.
The following racing and freestyle tracks require video to be confirmed.
Racing: Throne, Ruthless Ridge, Happiness and Intimidator.
Freestyle: All tracks except Schizophrenia, Perpendiculous, Happiness and Much2Much.
4. If you have submitted a screenshot only as proof of your score, someone who has a score on that scoreboard can initiate a "challenge" of your score. Video is the only 100% full-proof method of verification.
This is only allowed if the person initiated the challenge has an existing entry on that track that has been beaten by your score. The person must make the challenge in this thread within 30 days of your score being approved and you have 30 days to respond. If your score has been challenged, a PM will be sent to your account on the Gravitude as well.
If your score has been challenged, it is required that you submit video of your score to either the forum at large or to the scoreboard administrator to verify your score. If you do not, then the score may be removed if it is deemed by the scoreboard admin that you haven't submitted adequate proof to verify your score. This is to ensure the integrity of the scoreboard remains intact in the days of cheating devices, etc.
5. All systems are accepted. Both PAL and NTSC systems are on the same scoreboard.
SSX is one of those rare series where it makes no difference what TV or video game system they use. The game runs nearly identically across all systems and television standards.
6. Merqurycity.com reserves the right to change these rules as the scoreboard grows and new techniques that push the rules are discovered. As of THIS MOMENT, however, there are only these techniques banned.
1) Use of GAMESHARK or ACTION REPLAY or any cheat device for all SSX games.
2) Special SSX 3 techniques that are banned:
a) Submitting scores you have gotten using the special features in Single Play mode. Merqurycity.com is only accepting screenshots of the "Top 5" scores screen, or the Peak Score screen for the Peak Jams. Not the "Event" score screen since you can get that screen using the "unlimited boost" and other options. You canNOT save your scores on the "Top 5" scores screen if you use these options.
b) Using the rail glitch to get huge SSX 3 Freestyle scores. Video is required for all SSX 3 Freestyle score entries.
