Very normal... There have been some that have finished quicker.
And this one was easy....
It's just that i'v played the game before, and gotten over 400, but I'v never gotten the glitch.

It's hard to me....but how quick it is is unbelievale!

It's very normal (and expected) for the BTYs to last under an hour, and honestly the only reason one with a score to beat that was that low lasted so long is because so many people were impacted by that glitch. I've seen them end in under 10-15 minutes before.
Now, with that said, I have a crackpot theory that's entirely made up to share.
What if it isn't really a glitch? I started getting that problem right around the same time that the moon opened. I also noticed the high scores drop significantly at around the same time. Now, what are the chances that there's a weird issue mysteriously appearing in a game supposedly created and run by Sloth right around the same time that there's a plot starting, centered around Sloth, and there's a better than you with what would normally be a really easy score with a space explorer plushie prize, right around the time the plot ought to be picking up?
Plot planning would also explain the delays in news and a skipped day (Thursday). And it would explain why the prize item hasn't been updated with a description or a name yet, especially if one or both of those things would be a plot hint of some sort.
I just haven't been able to think of a reason that a very established flash game (one which there'd be absolutely no reason to go changing) would suddenly develop such a strange bug. I *know* this didn't happen before, and I'm quite sure I can't be the only one who has been sending in regular bug reports. Sure, it's probably just because of weird glitches and TNT not having the time to fix/update things, but my explanation is way more fun.

Yeah...that's a COOl therory. If it's true, will it say something different in the book of evil? never know. *shrugs*

My high-score says 366, but I got the plushie, and I'm sure I scored 434...
It lies! It lies!
It lies! It lies!
Sat Jun 12, 2004 4:49 pm
Huh, I used to always get that glitch, I figured though there was something in the game that made it do that, and it was supposed to happen. I don't play Advert Attack that much, so I'm not sure when exactly it started.

Yeah.....Why did you get the plushie? You get the item for in turn having a glitch? lol

O well..
The thing about 3 days training is a lie... The news came up at aprox 5:50 NST... Saturday morning. Really only two days that people would know about it.... whether it was turned on friday or not isn't easy to answer.

Huh? What are you talking about?
Sat Jun 12, 2004 5:48 pm
They mean that even if the training was available yesterday, nobody would know about it... so they could be lying and just saying that they offered it yesterday.
