I SSing feed florg, and i got a score of 253 - which is pretty low. its only 3 points above whats needed to get the avatar
i played a couple times before score sending, and i figured each game took a minute or so.
so when i used SS, i set the time to 70 seconds.
instead of seeing 'score sent', the program said score reviewed

im just realizing now that that time is quite unreasonable, even though my score is
im really freaking out, am i screwed?

aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

One can never be completely sure.

My story: I sent in a score in a game using AoB, and the time I spent was ridiculously low (less than 5 minutes), when in actuality it ought to have taken around half an hour at least.

Since your score is not wrong in any other respect, there is a chance they might decide not to come down on you, but simply remove the score. They might also just let you slide and accept your score. Hopefully, one of the these will be what happens in your case, keep your fingers crossed. The wait is horrendous, it's one of the worst forms of torture. I know the feeling and I hope some of my luck passes to you and your account stays safe.

I forgot the end to my story. My score was wiped, and I wasn't frozen.

Well I rarely SS, but I just went to play Feed Florg and in approximately 70 seconds I only got a score of 125

--From what I've seen, sometimes TNT accidentally looks over things though so you might be fine, but then again, I don't know for sure how TNT determines these things so I can't guarantee you a positive answer :x ~

Wow thats really lucky
Thank you so much, I feel so much more reassured. I really hope that happens to me too!

Usually times over 60 seconds can be safe. However, as stated before 70 seconds to achieve that score is kind of impossible.

Luckily for you, TNT is so lazy when it comes to reviewing that you will most likely be safe. ^^

[Iterative]

I think there's a certain range of scores/times where they decide to reject your score, but your account doesn't get frozen. You can try keeping your fingers crossed for that scenario.

Random anecdote: I had a legit typing terror score that wasn't even an avvie score reviewed because I usually type very fast. It never ended up being accepted, while my AoB'ed scores for the avatar were. Go figure.

[likerobots]

sometimes they do random checks
however, i think 70s is pretty low. even with AOB it takes me around 5 minutes to get the avatar.
and yeah, i've had a few scores that just weren't accepted, i didn't get iced but it never showed up on my game table (thank god) and i never went on the HSL. granted, this was on a very legit looking account.

[TamerVirus]

With TNT, one can never be sure what will happen. Good Luck to you though!

[Kae]

If you get lucky, TNT will be too lazy to look closely
For avatar scores, I always set the time to 30+ mins...mucho safer.

Yeaahhh using the SS is dangerous. You really ought to have gone with a longer time as suggested ^, or you should have used AoB which is a lot safer anyways because you're still playing the game and would finish in a more reasonable time. I'd maybe stop using the SS from now on and hope for the best. Good luck

30+ minutes? I'm surprised you haven't been frozen yet. Setting the time too long or too short are both ways you can get frozen. Although I do agree with you on the fact that longer is safer.

But I think that would depend on the game, some games do take longer. Like GTU, took me two hours to beat that game legit, and my score was reviewed and I never got the avie -_______-.

Oh really? I didn't think there were games that lasted that long. I wouldn't really know though cause the only "games" I play on that site are occasionally habi and sometimes keyquest for the codestones.

Ahh well, haha. I took my sweet ass time on GTU and maybe that's why I was reviewed, although I honestly don't know.

[Iterative]

I got the GTU trophy legit before I found this site and yeah, it took me a pretty long time. There were no lives in the game and no time limits. So there were certain levels where I kept dying and replaying it.

I have a question about the time sent for SS. Is it from the time you press play to the time you send score? Or is it from the time you load the flash game to the time you send score? Because I can see even short games taking a long time if you retry a game a lot without sending the score.

I don't agree. TNT can more easily correctly freeze you if your time is too short, since that will be impossible to accomplish. Too long however, there can be many reasons. As long as the window is open, whether you're playing or not, will add to the time that will be sent. TNT cannot prove and should not assume that you did not take a break somewhere along the line. They can't prove that you didn't step away from your computer. Basically there's no way they can plausibly freeze you and say that it's because the time is too long. You could even have been practicing on and off. You could have taken multiple tries to get the score you eventually wanted to send. The list goes on.

I've sent times that were bordering on 4 hours, probably even 6 hours. Never been frozen.

That's really interesting, and yeah you do have a pretty good point. Even if you were frozen, you could send in a ticket and have a pretty good chance of getting your account back.

Damn, sorry to hear that. The score sender is definitely easy to get frozen with if you don't have your times right. TNT is more harsh when it comes to avatar games, I guess.

Hopefully you decide to stick around Codex.

[Ladida]

I'm really sorry twisterey

Really sorry that happened to you. Happened to one of my aged (50 month) sides too. I was messing around with SS, had no idea what the 'wait' box even meant and so instead of putting a reasonable time I put...1....as in 1 second.

The curse of the noobs strikes again.

Don't leave neo! Rebuild and cheat harder and better than ever
