I think the numbers represent how much you have gained so far in the buffet + how much you gained since the last scan\blog update.
For example, if the numbers are 1500(125) you have scored 1500 GS since the buffet started and have scored 125 GS since your last scan\blog update.
I'm not sure this is correct, but this is the way I interpet it.
This is exactly what I was referring to.....most of all was wondering what the bracketed values meant.... thanks ever so much, and thanks for not mocking either ha :D |

| Due to my incredible organisational skills I have so far put up nearly 3k in Karaoke/Rhythm. This is why I don't do well in community events :) |

Perhaps the song he created for the 133,337 on GH: Wor? That sure was a life saver for me. Thanks again dan! [:D' |

Yesterday was a build day for me so I was out of commission. I will have to sit down tonight with my abacus, dice, and whiskey and see where everyone stands. |

Power Rankings of course. Or Roku's idea works too. |

Yes, that's what it was! Thank you for helping me out with that, it was bugging me not to know. And thank you, of course, Dan, for making that! |

WEEK 3 POWER RANKINGS
1. High Knight 
Score - 2,657
Rank - 32
Games played - Duke Nukem Forever
In what can only be seen as intense preparation for STEI 2, High Knight demonstrated this week that even though the big summer event is almost three months away, while others are unfocused and distracted, he is locked in and honing his skills at positioning himself perfectly in the middle of the pack. While Chunkeh seems doomed to take the high strike, and FlutteryChicken brilliantly plans his bonus usage, High Knight can take a deep secure sigh knowing that with 31 players above and 31 players below, no matter what crazy forum activity happens this Saturday night, he is safe for another week.
2. Facial La Fleur 
Score - 5,285
Rank - 12
Games played - Green Lantern, Monkey Island 2, Batman Arkham Asylum, Transformers: The Crappy Game, Daytona USA, Battlefield 3, Blade Kitten, Rayman Origins
Facial La Fleur, in addition to currently being the only one to complete Strategy, increased drastically in the power rankings this week for both getting his tower to 35 and for assisting LausDomini with the multiplayer achievements in Sega Rally.
3. Skydude252 
Score - 17,045
Rank - 1
Games played - JM Fitness, The Outfit, Enchanted Arms, GH: Warriors of Rock, LEGO Rock Band, Family Game Night 3, COD: WaW, Amped 3, Bad Company 2, Kinect Adventures, Ninja Blade
Upon receiving reports that Skydude sold his children this past week in an effort to further increase his gamerscore, I have no choice but to enforce bylaw 12 c of the Invisible Buffet Challenge rules which states, "All child-selling activities are strictly punishable with a temporary 1-spot decrease in power ranking." 17,000?! Seriously?! Wow!
4. Chunkeh Munkeh 
Score - 11,278
Rank - 2
Games played - Leela, SoulCalibur V, Chime, Cars 2, Bodycount, Dirt, Transformers 3, Captain America
Congrats on the new baby!
5. Smrnov 
Score - 10,095
Rank - 3
Games played - WWE All Stars, Otomedius X, SROA, Hulk Hogan, Child of Eden, NASCAR 2011, Mortal Kombat
Smrnov is done with SHMUP!
6. JB330 
Score - 9,081
Rank - 4
Games played - Rayman Origins, Nicktoons MLB, Viking, Apache Air Assault, Cars 2
Everyone should play Viking as well as Rayman Origins. Congrats on completing Rayman. Commence celebratory theme humming! Ba-dup-u-dup-a-dup...Ba-dup-u-dup-a-dup
7. mattCrossUNC 
Score - 8,125
Rank - 5
Games played - MySims SkyHeroes, Disney Sing It, Captain America, Darkest of Days
That poor horse!
8. pTartTX 
Score - 7,900
Rank - 6
Games played - Green Day: Rock Band, Spiderman: Friend or Foe, Cars 2
I think I am still weeks away from finishing Burn the Rope. Slow and steady.
9. xMac73 
Score - 7,325
Rank - 9
Games played - Iron Man 2, Galaga Legions DX, NHL 07, Hulk Hogan, YDKJ, X-Men Origins Wolverine, Up, Guitar Hero 5, Modern Warfare 3
Hanging strong. Playing lots of games. Upholding the law. Keeping the peace.
10. craze kiler 
Score - 6,047
Rank - 9
Games played - Zumba, Wanted, XMen Origins, Kane & Lynch, Alaskan Storm, Halo: CE, Driver San Fran
Congrats on curving those bullets and cracking the top 10 for the first time! |

Agreed. I loved Viking and want a sequel/prequel about Skarin's father. All the NPCs speak very highly of him so it sounds like it would be badass to play in his boots. Loved the mix of Conan (another game I love) and Fable. Criminally underrated game. |

I agree that Viking is highly underrated. Very glad I picked it up when I did.
And my GS could be higher...I just decided that I would take a break from my fastest stuff to slog through the slowest things I have on my list before the end. I'm currently 520 points away from going back to the regularly scheduled program. I didn't like what happened last year when I was scrambling for points at the very end to try to finish. |

With as little effort I'm actually putting into this I am surprised to see myself so high in the ranking. I pretty much have only played any of the required games on my Skyline build days and on off days I play games for fun and not because I NEED to.
On a side note, I regret choosing Transformers: The Game for my Sandbox category. The combat and checkpoints in this game suck hard. I'm excited to just look for cubes and am reluctant to actually start a new chapter. I've had this game for two weeks and haven't even finished the Autobot side of the game. |

| I'm sending it back to Gamefly. I've had it long enough and it isn't helping my Skyline team by it just sitting there when I can get another game instead. I'll rent it again after I don't have time restraints, same goes for Big Game Hunter 2010. I'm holding onto Rayman Origins though cuz I love that game!! |

Well it looks like the stacking games issue didn't end up making a difference for me...though I haven't been watching other people closely enough to see if it's had an effect for the rest of the field. With how many games Smrnov's already completed, I would guess it has helped him a fair deal!
I still maintain my opinion on it, even if in theory it didn't end up making a difference for me personally.
Just 1000 points to go now, should be finished tomorrow... |

And of course that's true...I just feel that games that have been "used" already shouldn't be available to be "used" again on a different stackable version. And as I've said before, the only one of those (in about half the genres, incidentally, where they exist) I've used is Fallout 3 PC, so I could benefit from stackable stuff. Even more next year (though I may be tempted to attempt to go for 3rd next year so I can have finished 1st-3rd in this event).
Just because it hasn't been an issue for me doesn't mean it hasn't been/won't be an issue, for one thing...and even if it isn't an issue doesn't change the fact that it potentially could be. |
