Games with isssues in arcade (remove from award tracking?)
Christovski:
In the interest of fairness, I believe some of the games in the arcade should be exempt from awards/longest champions stats, etc. I'm not saying the games should be removed, OR that people should lose their scores, but simply that if we are going to award people and have stats for best players, it should be fair, and not based on a broken system.
Babyshute - timed game where there is a maximum achievable score. The problem is, each time the game is played, the maximum score is different. Our current champion has a score of 364, whereas after I played a few times and each time getting as many points as I possibly could, only got 256. I'm sure some will say I'm whining over being unable to beat it, but it just seems less of a game and more of a "get lucky" simulator.
Penguin hit the lottery getting his score, it just happened he got the one in a million time that the game had 364 available points.
Military snow - it appears that there is a maximum possible score, and as soon as someone reaches that score, it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone else to become champion of that game. Corey got 745, then later so did me, Old Crow, and pwn3d, so I'm pretty sure 745 is the max score and no one will ever be able to beat Corey who got it first, therefore his highscore will be the longest champion forever because the game only allows a score of up to 745.
Xmas Boarding - because this was only available for one month, Discord who had the last high score will never be defeated by anyone because no one can play the game to beat him, another game where the longest champion is because of the game, not because of actual competition.
No one can beat that score until December 2013.
Funkypong - I discovered that if you push the go button just right and leave the mouse alone, it will perpetually bounce the ball until you move the mouse again, I walked away for hours came back and stopped it at exactly 5000. That isn't a game, that is a "see how long you can leave your computer alone" simulator. I also believe (but have no proof other than common sense) that this is the way oobla krolin and doctor got their scores as well.
Again, because of the way the game is coded, it is possible to exploit it.
Avoider is not necessarily totally broken, just figured I should mention that sometimes all 3 shapes get stuck in the walls for a while so you get a lot of points for free because there is nothing to dodge. It doesn't happen all that consistently but I have seen it happen.
There are a number of games that don;t have any instructions and it would be nice to have something on the page to tell you what to do, also some games like Triathlon when you click instructions, nothing happens. So there are some other minor issues.
Inject OH 4:
Militarysnow - No idea if their is a max but looks like their is. You can bounce off the snow if you do it right.
Either way it's exempt from being part of awards.
Xmas Boarding, Babyshute, and Funkypong are also exempt from getting awards.
I'm leaving avoider because while it can glitch at times still poses a good threat and need of skill.

Christovski:
Yeah as I said avoider is only sometimes broke and it eventually comes unstuck, sometimes it works perfectly the whole time.
Also, one thing I have been having issues with (sorta on this topic but a bit off) is there any way to get these flash games to "hold" the mouse? I have lost a few games due to my mouse clicking on the forum outside the game box, and I have played flash games on other websites where when you click the game it will hold the mouse in the square of the flash game so that does not happen
Or maybe have it pause when you accidentally click outside like here?

Not sure if any of this is possible because it may be stuff coded into the flash game itself, not the website with the game on it.
Sniper no Sniping:
Heres some i think should be removed
Discoracer: Similar to Babyshute, it has a random maximum score as the types of objects that appear are random, and some appear right under cars.
Dolphindash: Has a "Perfect" score (not sure if it is POSSIBLE to get) but there are 2 random bonuses in the game that give a random amount of points, these bonuses also pretty much make up 50% of your score, so again, highscore is completely luck based.
Dotops: I'm not sure if it is just me because Chris's score was beat, but at one point in the game, so many people spawn that the game itself starts lagging and slowing down. Plus people literally spawn right on top of you so it's more click and hope the game doesn't hate you. It's debatable though.
