I dunno about the rest of you, but I'm getting close to that 10 Million point barrier and now I'm looking to trim mere seconds off of *every* level to hopefully push me over the top.

Anyone else close to 10 million? Anyone reading this up near the 10.6 million top score?

10 million seems nigh impossible...but 10.6 million, wow.

Does anyone know how the time score is calculated so that I can figure out how many collective seconds I need to take off of my times to get to 10 million? That's the main question.

Oh wait...is 10.6 million only possible with the Co-op method? Drat!

I would say it isn't impossible without the co-op...but it helps a whole lot unless you are a super good multi-tasker that can move all the Clydes at once....ok co-op is the 10.6 million.

I read somewhere that it is 1000 for every second under par, and a fraction of it for every fraction of a second. Which totals to not seconds but minutes off your total time for 10.6 from just under 10.

We need to get a Ninjabee group together and once or twice a week at a set time get together in co-op and try to advance in the leaderboards. Me and a friend tried one, and we went through the level several times just to make sure what each person was doing was correct, trying different paths to get our final objective. We split at first and after doing our jobs regrouped at the end.

Wait...like a Gang? A ninjabee posse? Nice...I'm in. Do I have to be stung by a ninjabee to be a full fledged member or what?

In all seriousness, I'm with ya! Dunno what day would be good though...

Well, of course Wednesday's would be iconic, but hard in terms of timezone and people working. What about on Friday or Saturday nights? We need input people! Shoot, we should even include some actual Ninjabee's so that they can teach us little things that maybe the less informed won't know!

I'd be down with that, but have no idea how my schedule will work out.

I'm only at 7.2M, but I'm still in the process of optimizing my times for all levels. I already did 1 through 12 and 24, but still need to work on 13 trhough 23 and the challenges....

BTW, is obsession simply your score divided by 10K?

I've managed to struggle to around 9 1/2 million with no coop, around 61 on the Leaderboard. I think I can only shave a few more seconds here and there .....but not the 1/2 million to get to 10,000,000. I'm thinking about going to coop mode too for futher improvements.....sounds like a blast to me.....

I have about 80 mill without co-op. I Still need to beat all the story levels again though.

No, can't be...otherwise the obsession leaderboard would be identical to the score leaderboard. And I'm 38th on score and somewhere in the 700s for obsession.

Back on topic:
I've got 9.7 million without coop (of chickens?) and I think that 10 million MAY be possible without it. I think I'll try for a little while to get there before I "go to the dark side"... but then again, I'm excited to just mess around in co-op because I haven't done much multiplayer at ALL yet.

So what is this obsession then?

BTW, you have to actually send friend requests to serious players and arrange a private co-op game, and take your time, cause just running into a random co-op match doesn't help at all. They mostly consist of people who try to beat you to the exit by doing the single player faster than you....doesn't help much....

Obsession is a measure of how much time you spend in any game mode. I'm not sure *precisely* what that means, but the speculation is that it tallied in number of minutes. I also assume that time spent in menus and the like do NOT count toward your total.

Condemned had a similar thing, and guys just left the game running in their 360s 24 hours a day...kinda lame if you ask me. That may be happening again here in Clyde, but it's still cool to see where I stand in terms of how often and how much I play the game.

Oh, and thanks for the tip about Co-op. I can see how that would get old really fast.

I was #69 on the leaderboard Sunday, but I haven't played for a couple days and I'm sure I'm not even in the top 100 anymore.

Anyone else with 9 mil. + want to team up? Send a FR to Frankie Godskin if you do.

I think I am at 9.3 or 9.4, but I am getting second by second off.
