So who are the Latest Pop-pop Champions? Have there been any Tournaments lately? The only person I recognize on this board is Jinx.

Welcome to the boards AAAPlayer!
As far as I know, there are no "official" rankings for pop-pop. I do know that some other prominent players are:
SHOES
Number279 (or some other number)
Ryoko
Evmiester
and a few others that I cannot recall.------------------
Motion is impossible:
If an archer fired an arrow at a target, it would have to travel halfway before reaching the target. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway. To reach that distance, the arrow would first need to travel halfway... -
And I'm currently rising up through the ranks.

**There are no official rankings, but Squibix kept track of all Tournaments. You'll find a ranking here:

Yes, the list is a little dated - many people don't play anymore
Though I did play both Texas Girl and Honu online yesterday! Better add lumisa and nfm to the list of (very) good players - do you still play lumisa? Are you out there reading this?Also Ambrosia's own (el) presidente is a very good player, when he can spare the time.
(hmmm... as are a lot of the rest of the ambrosia crew)
Wonder who I've offended by missing off now... Hyko above is too modest to put himself on the good list, but you can see that he's well above average from squibix's list...
Grudgingly, I also ought to add Demo 888 to the list of fairly good people, but he hasn't registered for over 15 months, so should be shunned... Mainly because a demo-induced disconnect half way through a really tense round is so annoying.
Speaking of which - is it worth us organising a tournament sometime in the not so distant future? I'd be willing to look after one if people are interested?

Also, yeah, my rankings are sadly out of date. There was even one tournament since then that I never got around to including. But we have the email addresses of most people on the list, so if we get the tournaments going again we can at least tell them about it, and see if they want to still play. After all... 1.0.3 is out now! Isn't that what we were all waiting for?!

I'd love to play Andrew and you guys in a tournament but I'll have to wait till Windblowz Pop-pop to come out. I'm stuck w/ a Dell Inspirion for a while now.
Also, I saw that Anklebiter is still on irc.ambrosia, I couldn't remember his name yesterday. What happened with his modhoood here? I liked him a lot.------------------

Hey, I was just wondering if some of you were still at it. Tell me if you are still on please or if you see this person on (such as I had no idea that Texas Girl still played). Recently all I have been able to play is Ryoko, Jesse, and Demo 888 (and he has gotten good). Plus an occasional newb, but do they count? Jk!
Lish
nfm
heath (may be under different name now)
msx
SHOESThere are many more that I couldn't think of but I miss all of you.
I could of made the list triple the size. Lish, if you are on I want to see who has gotten better in this absence of not playing. SHOES, I still remember the five or so times that I beat you, and the hundreds that you beat me. heath, I remember when you first started and want to see if you can beat me now like everyone else. Oh, do the mods of this site ever play? Sorry Jinx but I have never seen you on, but you might of just been under something else. Well, see ya'll on! -
Thanks for the mentions. I do still check the tracker and boards and I still have the occasional game. I would be up for a tourney sometime too if we could get enough players. This 'summer slump' has gone on for ages!
pepperjack, what was your playing name when I beat you hundreds of times, I don't recall a pepperjack?

Sounds like a plan, of course, now 1.0.4 is in beta
Fortunately they share the same tracker - or at least they do at the moment, so there won't be the huge split that occurred with 1.0.3b1..8What would people say to a tournament sometime around the end of January? Too soon? Too far away?

If I see you on and play you I will tell you. I will be on to play Sunday and Monday this coming week. Hope to see you on the tracker! I'm guessing that you have beaten lots of people hundreds times so yea. Glad to see that you still play! -
OMG... i just played the most enchanting japanese girl tonite. She whupped my ass almost everytime. By clearing! Clearing went the way of the Dodo because those jerks tweaked pop's gameplay...way back when... i was starting to match her, if only the server hadn't crashed... does anyone know ryoko's email address? I must play her again. :frown:

Yea SHOES, when is a good time to see you on? BTW Lumisa, Crono has been on quite a bit, or at least I have seen him on a lot when I have been on.

It is funny how pops go in and out of acceptance. used to be Mini-T that was hated by most, along with Bombastic by the rest, now Mr Man...?

btw happy new year to everyone, and hopefully see you SOON.**Happy new year to youy too, and good to hear you're still about! I'm on fairly randomly, and workload (both in and out of work) is high at the moment, so quite busy. Weekday evenings usually randomly after 6 or 7, except Thursday, and after 8 on Tuesday - I should be at least backgrounding it during those times. Pop-pop's irritating habit of slowing my machine even when backgrounded and switching to 1000's of colours makes work difficult though with it on.
Obviously need to get one of these dual G5's - then I can play pop-pop and chew gum...------------------

i know it´s an impossible time but i´m hosting a game right now and would love to find out how much i´ve forgotten...anybody up for it?
(i think i´ll try tonight as well - after 8 or so...let´s see if i´ll manage to revitalise this addiction...)------------------

Nothing is the matter with Mr. Man, it's just that I always use Bombastic.
She just clears so fast that you have to use Mr. Man and I don't like using Mr. Man. Just personal preference. -
