I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Kamal Hassiba12/08/2008 - 04:10

man, this game is addictive

I Throwed all my games behind my back and started playing this game only.
and asked 5 friends to get it.
the challenge was to beat my friends in Goo Corp highest tower

I think those numbers will scare them off  8)

my next mission it to create a new profile and get three new towers in the top 10 and beat No1 Tower

excellent game, thanks to the developers

Done, I am No.1 Now (43.3m)

now I can not wait for u to get to No.1 and beat my numbers
Oh, Btw, I still have two balls left 298, so take it into consideration (the dame 2x Goo balls were out of reach)
I could have got to 45+ with them ;-)

Are you absolutely sure you didn't just edit your tower? The difference in height of the triangles doesn't make any sense, and thus looks copy-pasted...

If not: Very nicely done. I'll see if I can beat you when I have some spare time...

This is so insulting man, I went to bed at 4:30am for this to get built!

thats what I am talking about, the different hight, long row, short row
I bet I can get to 50 with this

here is how u can do it!

U build a simple (short) triangles in a row
then from the edge you build perfect shot triangles upwords (just like the tip of my tower) then make it bend towards the row
this is the trick, connect the bent mini tower to the row on the ground
the result will be a sandwich of normal short triangle - long triangles - then short ones

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
| | | | | | | | |
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

u keep on doing this sandwich

once I got enough hight for a stable tower, i removed the short triangles from the bottom

that why I do not have realistic short trianlges at the bottom

I hope I made some sence

Creative technique, I've gotta try that :)

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard herminator12/09/2008 - 08:13

I must say though, please don't cheat to get your goo balls. The profile for Palistinian shows that you got 300 balls on Going Up, the first level, which is impossible and means you cheated to get that score. Please gather your goo balls the normal way like we all have. :)

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Marius12/09/2008 - 09:07

True... and I'm not sure if you're still doing that, but, please don't have 3 of your own towers in the top 10. It's the top 10 of people, not the top 10 of towers..

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Kamal Hassiba12/09/2008 - 10:26

Ture

my appologies
I did complete the game in one profile, Called "Kamal"
but could not be bothered to collect all 300 balls again for more towers.

I will stick to Palistine as the talest tower I have for now
and I am going to delete my 3 other towers from the leaderboard

once I build a good tower from my official "Kamal" profile. I will then delete Palistine (damn it)

I think this is fair

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard J12/09/2008 - 10:28

hmm...why leave the short triangles in there? why not just get rid of them and create a new row of tall triangles above them using the same technique? should get you higher...

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Kamal Hassiba12/09/2008 - 10:32

Done, I have deleted all my other three towers from the ladderboard and left Palistinian for now.
you can see that I do have 300 Goos in my "Kamal" account
http://hell.student.utwente.nl/wog/profiles/b676a9c767dcec14e9b8e2c819279eda/
consider them used by Palistinian for now, hehe

Yes, J
Good Idea, ummm, will have to try it out and update you
thanks for the tip


have you tried to apply my technique?

nope...gonna try something different. was thinking of doing the improvement i described about your method, but i thought it'd be more appropriate for you to do it:)

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Kamal Hassiba12/09/2008 - 10:46

Wow :)

Can't wait to get home and try this ;)

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard J12/09/2008 - 11:35

haha you can thank me when you finally reach 50m. no time to play goo nowadays, i'm just taking a break from studying irritating paediatrics by posting some ideas here.

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Kamal Hassiba12/09/2008 - 17:26

I gave up!

I had many extra balls at around 36m but can not stablize it to break my 43m

will leave it like this for now :-\

I got to about 37m on my first try with this, which is about equal to my best previous tower :)

Next technique: Build triangles where all sides are this long ;D

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Kamal Hassiba12/09/2008 - 18:38

oh shit, I am going to lose my No.1 place in the leaderboard now

may be I should have not shared my technique this fast  :P

good luck  ;)

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Kamal Hassiba12/09/2008 - 18:41

hmmmm
this web site removed my towers from the top 10
http://hell.student.utwente.nl/wog/

this is upsetting

who owns this website anyway!?

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Soultaker12/09/2008 - 19:38

That's my site, and don't worry, your tower wasn't deleted. :)
It's just that when the latest picture was made (which happens every four hours) your tower was only 32m, not enough to make it to the top 10 (only the current height counts, not the highest ever). Your old profile is still available too.

Your current tower will definitely make it to the top 10 list again in the next update, so just give it a couple of hours and everything will be alright again. ;)

Re: I made it to (5th, 7th and 9th) in the leaderboard Kamal Hassiba12/09/2008 - 19:45

Oh, thank you thank you  :-*

I can go to sleep now  ;)

thanks
