game score being reviewed?

[Ania205]

I played an incredibly lucky game of Gummy Dice yesterday and made it to level 17 before it blew up. When I submitted my score of over 3000, I got a message that it would have to be reviewed.

How long does that take and has anyone ever actually gotten the points after having their score reviewed?

I'm not terribly worried about it, I'm just curious.

I almost never get reviewed (which says alot for my game playing abilities), but the few times I have it's been about half and half as far as getting the np. When the decision's made I think depends on how busy TNT is and whether's it's a weekday or weekend.

Since yours is a weekday, I would think you'd have an answer by tomorrow (giving TNT some slack due to the plot stuff).

congratz on the score.. i never had that problem lol
im jealous

[Doom Dreamer]

me neither... good luck on getting the np... that's enough for a high score isn't it?

[Ania205]

Thanks. I've never had that problem either, and like I said, I had a REALLY lucky game! Will they neomail me or will the np just show up and that will be it?

It's been a while since I've had a high score get reviewed, but I believe they just send you the NP. Not really sure though, like I said, it's been a while.

Processing the score can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or so, depending on when you submit the score. But you WILL get the points (unless they believe/find you're cheating) and, IF your score is high enough, the appropriate trophy.

It typically takes a few days, and you do get the points if the score is accepted (you also get a neomail notifying you of the result).

I have heard of people losing trophies/avvies from reviews, but most of the time they can be nice and give you the points as long as you don't cheat.

I got a review recently. They'll review your score, put you on the highscoretables (DEPENDS), send you a trophy (DEPENDS) and send you a neomail + your nps. Don't worry, you'll surely get your nps.

I got reviewed thrice, in all cases I got back my nps. Don't worry too much about the nps and wait for TNT to review your score.

AS far as I understand it each game has a set score limit for review and above that the score will have to be examined for a staff member.

One example of this is Pterattack 2, the limit is 4495 or around there, most game guides recommend that if you're going for WC you aim to get one or two points below that (as the score goes through straight away) however if you get above that your score will have to be reviewed so you can't win the WC competition, you can still get on the highscore board though (and unless you're bang on midnight pretty much the only way to get on the pterattack board is through having your score reviewed.

It's basically a safeguard against cheats, never fear and well done one the score!

i get all 3 of my kiko match scores reviewed daily. at some point after midnight nst i end up wiht my np's and a neopmail telling me my score was accepted for each game. if its a weekend they generally dont come thorugh until the monday.
so basically i log into neopets everyday and find 3 neomails

well done ont he score and unless you cheated dont worry.

Subject: Your Attack of the Gummy Dice score has been accepted!

Hi ania205,

Your score of 3,541 in Attack of the Gummy Dice has been reviewed and accepted.

You have been awarded 1,000 neopoints. If you qualified for an avatar, that has also been awarded.[quote]

Unfortunately, it wasn't quite high enough to get me on the high score list. Now, if I can just figure out how to do it again....

Even when you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you didn't cheat, there is still a guilty sensation that comes over you when you see that they are reviewing your game.

Yeah, but you should now feel proud that you made them go "OMG how the heck!?" :p

Yeah...the first time I got my score reviewed it almost gave me a heart-attack. It was so...erm...sort of scary!
Congrats on the score and getting the nps.
