How safe are these flash games? I can see there are tons of people with the exact same score in them so they are obviously safer than most games, but are they so safe that you can do them all in one day or should you split them over days / weeks / months?

I wouldn't recommend sending them all in one day, but as long as you aren't reviewed you should be safe. The biggest problem you might have with sending so many scores at once is the scrutiny of other players.

I was going to message you but apparently you've ignored me which is fine.

Not that we see eye to eye on most things but would you mind if I linked your thread in my Shell Start Up Extras thread?

Sure, go ahead. Thanks for asking first.

They are not going to review the score even though it's a gold trophy?

In my experience, the only one I've had reviewed out of those games was Ruins Rampage. Even with review, as long as you send the recommended score, you're guaranteed to be safe as long as your time was reasonable.

According to this (admittedly outdated) guide, the only other game that even has a review score is Dungeon Dash (but the review threshold only includes impossible scores).

tl;dr
as long as your scores aren't impossible and times are reasonable, the chance of getting reviewed is slim to none, and review is certainly survivable.

You should (hopefully) be safe, but thanks for pointing this out. I updated the first post with a warning.
Be sure to let me know how the review went!

I think the Ugga Drop code is broken. Someone verify?

Hi *******,

Your score of 1,687 in Chia Bomber 2 has been reviewed and accepted.

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

Slick. I don't get how SS works though. I haven't tried to run it for fear of getting iced. Can't find the tutorial in the forums either. Anybody help me with that?

Thanks this is a great help.

I think this is a really wonderful guide, and I'll rep it tomorrow when I've got enough.

Only thing I'm gonna put out there is (as I was discussing with Neoquest on his status just now) whenever I see a mystery picture trophy on a userlookup it screams 'cheater' to me.

But the rest is awesome, thanks Bone.

Yeah, I actually made a thread to discuss this a while back. I think people only recognize accounts with Mystery Pic trophies are cheaters if they cheat themselves. There's no way to prove someone cheated with Mystery Pic, so the worst you can get is skepticism from other players.

Thanks!

Haha that's true actually. Before codex (when I was innocent and pure) I would have never though of that trophy as supsicious, or even noticed it at all. So I guess it's not a problem as far as other users are concerned. Do you think it flags the account as suspicious to TNT?

Doubtful. There are numerous members here with several mystery pic trophies that are perfectly safe. I may be one of them.

soo theres really not much of a SS risk on those games they dont check into it if you get max score, so what if i sent in a score for like silver right now could i get the trophy by the morning?
