    1) Don't post a fake screenie on a site like this
    2) Don't post a fake screenie whatsoever
    3) Make the scores a little more believable
    4) Don't be a fucktard.

    The fact that your score was ending with 22 shows that it is fake. The game scores in 10s not single units. Also, there is no gradient behind the score, however, that maybe be what mine looked like due to a bad computer. But yeah, completely fake.

    I have in no way tampered with the picture. I finished out with what I had, hit the Print Screen button, uploaded to photobucket, and linked from there to here. Nothing more. I am aware that the game scores in units of 10. No gradient behind the score means that the gradient is filled.

    I would like to finish with, its just a game. I gain no joy from faking a game score.

    Try to accept that maybe their is a limitation to the score box. That would be the conclusion I would of drawn, rather than try and prove that I faked a score on Game.

    So I have to assume that perhaps the box ends with no cut-off point such as in the middle of a number like it does when you get a score that goes into the hundred billions (But that is in the top box)?

    If you were aware that the game went up in units of 10s, why didn't you think that someone might be suspicious of this and confront you with it?

    Your argument is basically 'Trust that I didn't tamper with it' which is pretty poor in my opinion.

    The game, when scored, gave me a cut off number on top in the score box, it was no way near the original. I started a new game in hopes that it would give me a full score, like it did yours. Sadly, I took on face value what I read and didn't think nothing about it after I posted.

    Now, I am confronted with tampering, and I can not physically give you proof that I did not tamper with said game.

    Finally, if it upsets you so, I'll remove the link and the score and say nothing more about it. I didn't think that posting a number would dissolve into an arguement. I can take another screen shot, if you wish, with a new game score, and what it says as my previous.

    But, I'm sure this will not suit you.

    Also, this guys score didn't end in a 0 as well, are you going to accuse him of tampering?

    So you went even a digit further than that? I'm extremely surprised at that.

    If there was a cut-off point for the score, the score would either be uncentralised or you actually went more than one digit above. Either 2 or an even number above that.

    So this actually descends into, would you be able to get that high of a score?

    EDIT: I didn't notice that that score didn't end in a 0. I apologise that I singled out only you. And I'd like to ask Dark Lord Gullible about a possible explanation for this.

    Did you write this game? Do you know all the inner workings? If so I commend you. The fact still stands. I did not tamper with the game score. Thats all I'll say of it. Have a good day.

    No I did not write the game. I don't know it's inner workings. I do, however, have the right to doubt the authenticity of your score. We may find out in a few days.

    I'm perfectly sure that the problem with my picture is that it cuts off at 9 digits. It is NOT a fake and IS entirely possible if you get the right number of birds. As the birds give you exponential growth it actually takes a lot less time to accumulate points than you would expect and I have no problem accepting that sulphurictwilight got that score.

    And if you are still in doubt, have a look at my previous highscore and check with the other picture I posted. Notice any similarities?

    Also, atleast play the game a bit before you say what is and isn't possible.

    On ANOTHER note, apparently one of the highest scores ever recorded was earning 20-40k per bell and thus would be in the range of 10^45 as a total final score, obviously because of the cutoff, the actual score could not be shown because of the cutoff.

    Can't say I much care if he faked it or not.

    My final attempt is here:

    Inexistence, until you get actual proof that the scores are faked, and that are not little retarded notions, just stop and be quiet.

    I had doubts that it was possible, but there you go.

    Apparently it's getting cut off, so scores are even bigger than it says. Look at it when he's going up, the numbers stop moving unless he hits a bird, so there's at least 5+ numbers not showing.
