Done. The list is now up to date including the current round 32.

Thanks to JAJ for collecting info on some of the rounds I missed.

Update

The link collection has turned into a proper Chain Game Hall Of Fame.
It now includes all players that ever played and a modding history of all those special versions we've been playing.

Special thanks to JAJ for the idea and putting the players list together

[Girish]

Fantastic job, Alex and John. This looks splendid!

[rubregg]

- updated to include round 33 -

[rubregg]

- topic on hiatus until the return of bbcode -

[Ryan]

Nice work rubregg. Nice to see something like this up and running.

BTW, I've been gone all summer and I missed your return so, Welcome back ol buddy.

[rubregg]

Thanks a lot and welcome back, Ryan

...well, at the moment this topic is 'on a break' until bbcode is back in its entirety. Editing the frontpage without the clickable link function will produce quite a mess, I'm afraid...

[rubregg]

Break's over, front page is updated.

[rubregg]

Ignore this posting, I'm just testing some code.

Done testing. Needed this, because we found a bug in the CG frontpage that didn't show in preview mode, only after actually posting.

Anyway, on topic, I might as well announce that the front page of this topic has been updated to include round 36.

I found something from the previous round that is kind of odd/funny, in round 2 you guys broke the rules by doing the races after End Of The Line and thus did not make it the final save. End of the Line was done, then everyone started doing the races, but in the rounds after that, End of the Line was done last.

Another thing I found funny, is how we restarted round 6 because of the barrier glitch, when all we had to do was go back and have the opposite version do that area opening mission. So I think the current round is technically round 36, as round 6 was not a completed round.-if only we knew about the barrier glitch fix back then-lol.

Also, remember when not too long after I started playing the game, how we kept getting the "pimping" mission glitch for a while, til we figured out what it was.

By the way, congratulations Rubregg for keeping track of all the Chain Game rounds here and for coming up with the current round's(37)'s starter save. Also, congratulations to Girishb for doing the stats for the game, and JAJ for hosting the Chain Game. and the rest of the officers' I forgot to mention for also helping to keep the game running smoothly.

Good find but we didn't break any rule - because back then, this rule didn't exist yet. The bit about doing End of the Line last only got added to the rules in round 8.

True about fixing the barrier glitch - well, we've surely learnt a lot of details about all the modding as we went along. About counting, well we just kept counting on. Probably all the better, makes the list in this topic less confusing. Otherwise we would have two entries for round 6 now...

Actually I don't remember that. Could you post a link? This might be something for the "Memorabilia" collection...

Thanks a lot. Yeah, JAJ contributed a lot for the players' list in this topic too, and girishb's stats also help a lot - good chance for me to say THANKS to them too.

Heh, I can remember that. It was the 1. round that I played from the beginning and I almost caused 2 round restarts

The "Pimping" glitch happened by me in the 15th, 17th, and 18th rounds.-I got that by checking the link that GTA Phreak posted from round 18.

[rubregg]

Thanks Phreak and radioman, I found it...

Very true. ...by round 17 we were still struggling with that.

This glitch occured in rounds 15, 17 & 18. And yes, it seems that sometimes the wrong starter save gets posted.


...and some more, while browsing through the old topics. I'll put all this on the front page:

• Some added features became so familiar that they were sorely missed in unmodded games.
  
• We've had some busy times, but occasionally things do calm down.
  
• Anyone remember quartet's police chopper ballet?

Here's something weird that happened on my turn in Chain Game 29: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=354751&st=40 Dunno what happened. I didn't get busted, but GTA SnP said that I did. We didn't actually figure out what happened, but I thought we could add it to the front page anyway. (My turn was on the page before that.)

Yeah, I read this post as i joined in round30, besides Chain Game 29 was long long ago and now already 9 rounds have passed .

Sorry for deleting the post instead of quoting it . This should go to the front page as well.

Front page updated to include the players of round 38 and the link to round 39.

Also added 123robot's quote and cacarla's goof-up.

[Girish]

In the Players list from Round 1 to 7, you have misspelt 'crazyanurag' as carzyanurag. Just noticed, so you might wanna correct that.

Edit: lol, I forgot I can edit posts.

Well, I corrected the typo but I think I screwed up some of the codes in the first post. Can you correct that, Alex?

Well, Girish never leaves me alone. He always gives company to me. Thanks .
