Plus Point Challenge: Resogun Results

The results are in, your best (or worst) attempts are submitted, and we’re pleased to announce the results of the first round of the TSA Plus Points Challenge competition. As a quick reminder, the competition was to submit your highest score playing the first level (Acis) of Resogun on the easiest difficulty (Rookie).

The scores translate to points on the TSA leaderboard (which we’ll be back with tomorrow) with the highest score receiving 10 leaderboard points, second highest receiving 9, all the way down to 10th and below who receive one point each. There was also a bonus five points for the lowest score submitted.

There were a whopping 38 entrants into this initial contest, and without further ado lets announce the winner of this initial contest and congratulate TSA member X1BALBAABLAB1X on an amazingly high score of 90,939,530! That’s the 4th best score ever achieved in the whole world! Madness!

First place was a close run contest, Lieutenant Fatman coming 2nd and running X1BALBAABLAB1X close with a cracking score of 85,241,670, also in the top 10 in the world, ever! The rest of the top 10 had some good little battles, and there really are some excellent scores submitted.

The winner of the wooden spoon is mrfodder with a score of 250 points. It’s interesting to note that this would have been taken by gordon123 with a score of 40 but since he’s in the top 10, he wasn’t eligible for wooden spoon.

As we stated in the original post, there would be a random draw between all of the entrants to win either a $10 or £10 PSN voucher. That lucky winner was actually gordon123 and we’ve sent the prize to him already.

Remember to keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for the release of the first TSA Plus Points Challenge Leaderboard, where we’ll assign points to everyone who has entered so far. Remember – the first person to fifty points wins a year of PlayStation Plus.

As a side note, there were a few entrants who didn’t properly follow the rules by not showing the correct scoreboard on their tweet. Luckily none of them troubled the top 10, so their entrance has still been counted but in future competitions, failure to properly follow the entrance procedure will result in no entry into the competition for that month.

Written and organised by Tony Cawley.

  1. I had the same problem as bigchrissyc. I entered with the correct hash tag but I’m not in the list :(. Not that I was ever a contender with a score towards the bottom of the table!

  2. Oh and wanted to say, really enjoyed this, even though Resogun not really my kind of game to start with, this competition got me in to playing it a little more and started to get competitive. However, I was wondering if there could be a live leaderboard of some kind? For example if TSA made a specific PSN account just for the competition and everyone had to friend them, so that account could keep live track of high scores? and we could all see how each other are doing? Equally be good for all competitors to friend each other too.
    Please add me on sick__puppy (two underscores)
    Thanks again

    • It won’t be Resogun again, and some games won’t even have leaderboards. We’ll have a TSA leaderboard which is updated after each challenge tomorrow morning :)

  3. My score is missing from the list,uploaded score of 15,301,690 at 8:38 AM – 26 Jan 2014.

    • Can you link to the tweet please?

      • The hashtags need to be searched using a computer or laptop ideally so the search results can be changed to ‘all’. The default search option ignores a lot of tweets unfortunately.

      • Oops, ignore me, looks like Twitter is just being awkward.

      • Yep, Tony did it however many times and I went through twice.

      • When I looked on twitter Saturday evening I was only presented with about 8 or 9 pics, there must have been more than that uploaded by them.
        Here’s the link

      • Wrong hashtag – it was #TSAResogun! I’ll add you as an entrant for the main leaderboard tomorrow, anyway!

      • Cheers Blair, I’ll have to triple check before uploading for next challenge.
        Just though I should mention my post with my second highest score had the right hashtag but still wasn’t in the results table.

  4. Can’t believe I forgot to enter, I was hoping to achieve a better score but was buay all weekend and missed the closing time.
    I think I’d have been 16th but its my own fault I’m not in there :-(

    Is there a Don’t Starve challenge next?

  5. Another one that was unfortunately missed, could have been a contender too. If there were a few extra zeros…

    • Added to the full Plus Point leaderboard which goes live tomorrow.

  6. Congrats everyone and a great challenge, i only wish i had done better in my own attempts.

  7. I agree with the week done to nearly everybody. Especially everybody above me which was far off everybody :-D

  8. Amazing scores guys! Good work Tony, can’t wait to see the next ridiculous score your competition inspires!

  9. Congratulations everyone. I thought my score for the wooden spoon was good but not that good lol

  10. I love this plus point challenge :)

    I know my score is pretty rubbish compared but I played really hard for that. I would like to report that even though it was after the competition had closed all the humans were eventually saved.

    :)
