I'm doing a major update to the MAME TG scoreboard tonight. In games with no changeable settings (e.g. Columns) I'm going to accept scores automatically provided that:

- The person's real name is used - The score has been MARP verified

As an effort to compromise with the real name rule, I will accept scores from MARP players who would prefer to use an alias if:

- They email me their real name and a real name sounding alias

Their real name will not appear anywhere on the main TG site, or the MAME TG site. This way players can remain anonymous, and their ID will still be identified. I must receive an alias which looks like a realistic name though, plus the Country the player lives in.

Also scores will be added for games not currently on the list, as time permits. Players can email me with suggestions for games they would like to see published first, plus any proposals for TG settings for games which have none. Keep in mind if I don't get any suggestions for settings, I'll have to use my own discretion.

That's about it for now.

cool, can't wait to see the update, be sure to mind that the "orange" confirm color of scores ONLY mean it playsback, it doesn't mean all the editors have checked the recording for validity. orange recordings could still be using cheating methods and recorded at the wrong settings. There will be different color coding for recordings for other verification status but right now there is only orange confirm for playback validity.
