Mssilhouette | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 08:47 am     I joined last night and came in at about 200 sometthing..and today I finally upped it to the 300's. Woohoo!!! Dang addicting game! |
Jo_5329 | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 08:49 am     Mss .. I agree -- but I'm going to try again when I get home on "my" computer and "my" ergo keyboard .. I'm going to increase my score one way or another! Jo |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 08:56 am     I just can't believe how many fast typers we have here - I mean to me ... compared to all those 600+ folks it SEEMS like we are slow but see I know how fast *I* type... and so many are just a few cpm below me and that's more cause I've had practice at this game, and learning it's quirks. I wish I had put -LFP after my name... anyone who is a LFP and thinks of that do it... it'd be fun to see just how fast our LFPs are (and how slow some might be which means they put incredible amounts of time in ya know what I mean? For an idea of how your doing - on most typing tests I type between 100 and 120 wpm. On here I usually score in the high 300's. So you can possibly figure out where your at from that. Maybe - or maybe I just have a harder time with the words on this test lol, honestly most tests I take don't have alot of punctuation and if you've noticed ... me and punctuation do not get along well, so that's a challenge for me on this test LOL. Most the words I miss it's cause they have a period at the end of the word!! Well I'm back to try again - it's fun watching others beat their old score! (refresh occasionally on the 'high scores' page) |

Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 09:58 am     Thanks Mod 22 - don't see "Mod 22" on da list yet betting you can break the 9 cpm barrier <grin>  |
Karuuna | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 10:13 am     As far as I can tell, this game is not Mac compatible with any Mac browser. |
Mssilhouette | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 10:20 am     Well I moved up but I think I burned up the keyboard and only managed to inch up a bit from my previous position. I believe i'm in the group top 10. LOL Whew...I was flying for a while then I had to correct words. Shoot! Congrats to those 600 folks...I don't know how you do it. |
Joyful | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 10:34 am     OH, I'm getting better. I went from 222 to 296. The punctuation is killing me though! LOL |
Juju2bigdog | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 10:43 am     Sponge is up to 9 already???? He was only at 4 yesterday! Dang! |
Spygirl | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 10:48 am     Alright! I got in through my AOL browser! That was fun, but would drive me crazy over time I played four times and I think my eyes are officially crossed for the rest of the afternoon. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 10:58 am     Oh boy Spy...it's OWWWWWWNNN! |
Mware | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:01 am     Who are the robots they have on this test who are typing over 500? Are these real people? I've tried about a dozen times now, and I just got to 258. Oh, well, someday soon they'll have the computers which can type what you say, and we'll be posting about who talks the fastest!
 |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:05 am     Mware - um well I can forsee 500... but 600? That's insane.. I'm serious lol. I'm an extremely fast typer and geez.. I don't see how 600+ is possible but the BOTTOM of the all time list is 607!!! That's 50 people who can type faster then 600? Crazy. They must be way way faster typers then me at 120ish wpm!!! LOL. Course it's the punctation thing that's driving me nuts, periods..comma's are so overrated. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:07 am     Psst hehe did you see we have a mod on the list That's cute, fast typer too! |
Mware | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:12 am     Whit- not just 50 people who can type faster than 600, but 50 people who found out about this website who can type faster than 600. What are the odds of that? If they can really type that fast, they'd be working instead of taking typing tests, wouldn't they? |
Mssilhouette | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:18 am     Well if you take the 1 minute test you might be able to make 600. I don't think the people who hit over 600 were doing the 2 min test. If you use the pull down menu you'll see a 1 min test that just has words. You might try that one and see if you get faster results. |
Halfunit | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:19 am     They are typist hackers who's goal in life is to have the high score on some random typing website - that's what makes them cool, man! |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:20 am     Mware - lol well I can't tell you how many people who've suggested I should type for a living since I can type for oh 12 hours straight at around 100 to 120 wpm. LOL If I could use punctation and such I would do it > I got 500 outta 500 or whatever on every college writing assignment but using real punctation on a full time basis is not something I'm interested in doing LOL. Using real comma's and periods in their proper form is not fun for me, never has been, non-conformist. My guess is these top scorers were already extremely fast typers who got addicted to this game. There are over 1.3 MILLION games played on this site.. that's ALOT LOL I gotta admit it's amazing to me to actually feel like a 'slow' typer hehe - but on this site it's hard NOT too. The I can't even make the top 20 of 'today's list. This means there are 20+ people just today that type faster than me on this site! LOL. But fer me what's fun about this is trying to break my own record.. and the person one above me ... finally got one...it's on! LOL. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:25 am     Half - I understand what your saying but I doubt it .. the record holder took months to break his own record.. if he were hacking doubt he woulda taken months to break it, and then took him weeks to break that one. See? And as far as the other's below him if they WERE hacking... you'd think they'd hack to first place not 14th? Ya know what I mean. I'll admit though that was my first thought - after I couldn't make even the BOTTOM of the list, was that there was cheating going on. There are ways I am sure to improve your scores, like not starting till you've gotten the first 2 lines down pat, would help slightly... and skipping the really hard words would help slightly. But neither of those 'tricks' would make the difference between 400 cpm and 600 lol. I'd like to make that list - but 608? That's a long ways to go from where I am now lol. I like our list... 50 of us will get to be on it.. and those who like it can enjoy watching themselves improve and perhaps edging up on the list etc. |
Phatcat | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:38 am     I love this one. Just joined today, but will be playing this one many times. My high score was 317. Got to get used to the weird sentences and punctuation. |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:42 am     For those curious, but haven't found our 'list' yet.. here's the TVCH list (couldn't capture it all but it's enough to give you the idea)
 |
Whit4you | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:46 am     Half - I noticed your on there twice (apparently this is very case sensitive) you can drop the mod a line in the 'forum's area and ask him (her?) to delete one of the two. |
Mssilhouette | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:54 am     WOOHOO! I'M 10TH! At least for the moment. |
Neko | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:56 am     Score..I'm at 29. That's better than I thought. I don't type fast at all...well I do...compared to others I guess.... |
Whoami | Tuesday, November 05, 2002 - 11:56 am     Geeze! I was 10th last night when I tried this last. Now I'm 20th? *sniff* I don't know if I can keep up with you fast typers. Will have to try later. Dogs to feed, Mom's to wake up and feed. Gotta go vote..... Where'd Bob's score go? |
