RE: Need help getting for fights

It`s not cheating at all, in fact I wish I had that many people to challange me, all I was saying is that unless I can get alot more fights, I can`t see any way if getting ranked that high - which is the whole point of the game, and I do make all my challenegs and to date have not refused anyone.

Need help getting for fights

I have been on this site for some time now and Gizmo has been re-incarnated 4 times and yet my current best is 33 followed by 34.
As far as I can tell the only way forward to get more fights, so I have got some friends to sign up which gets me about an extra 5 fights a day giving me an average of 20 fights per day.
I have just check some of the top gremlins who are getting upto 40 fights per day!
I have enjoyed the fights but it is getting alot harder to get anywhere near the top and i think that I will have a break before there is a Gizmo V.

Now I don`t like to moan, but I can`t see anyway of getting up the top (without doubling my fights) and this is starting to put me of fighting.

I would suggest that there is a cap on the max fights that you can have, i.e. you can only make 10 challanges so why not only have a max of say 20 fights? 10 challanges & 10 invites...
And possibly have the league scores reset, to allow everyone to have a fresh start and have an equal chance of getting to the top.

Hope that I have not upset too many people (espcially thoose at the top).

Inactive Gremlins

I have just created a new gremlin and I am finding that there are a number of inactive gremlins at the lower end of the league.
I think that if a gremlin has been inactive for say 2 or 3 days that they can`t be challenged e.g. same as if a gremlin is busy (with 7 challenges already waiting).

Does anyone else think that this is a good idea????

Gremlin Life expectancy

Hi,
I thought that all Gremlins lived for a month? My Gremlin Gizmo was born on 12th December and died on 3rd Jan.
I know he was not all that fit, he was a bit of a couch potato but he did not spoke or do drugs but thought that he had a week left?

RE: Top Gremlins - Hall of fame??

Thanks, I thought that I saw the it somewhere before.

Top Gremlins - Hall of fame??

Is there a list of the all-time top Gremlins or Gremlins that were able to make it to the No1 Position, so that there name and live on and used as a benchmark for new Gremlins??

RE: My Widescreen is not widescreen? Please help

Just to update you all I have taken my set back to the shop where they said that it was not working. They could not replace it so I managed to getr them to apply a few more discounts and give me a Thomson 28" widescreen TV for £320 incl 3 years warranty.
This works great and with my new sound I must say that I am very happy.

Thanks for the help

RE: My Widescreen is not widescreen? Please help

OK, I don`t think that I have made myself clear. In fact I am getting confused.
On some channels the screen will look as follows:
___
) (
------
with the left and right black. Now what I did not notice first of all is tha the other channels are not like this but the area to the left and right which were black are stretched as if it is stretching thew picture to be square.

Anyway I am off to the TV shop now to sort this out (I hope).

Thanks

Gavin

RE: My Widescreen is not widescreen? Please help

I have tried this and it seems as if the image should look like
__
) (

and is stretched to fit onto screen no matter what setting I try.

RE: My Widescreen is not widescreen? Please help

I know that they are not in widescreen but it would be nice to be able to view them clearly. I would assume that my TV has a problem displaying anything not widescreen as the screen it stretched. I am just tying to find out if this is common or if there is a way for me to rectify this.

Thanks

Gavin

RE: My Widescreen is not widescreen? Please help

I have tried this, but the "stretchinhg" appears on normal channals i.e. 1-5 and these are not going through sky.
I do not have a msnual so cannot check for any "advanced" settings (not that there would be any).
My only other option is to take the tv back to currys but it was their last one which would leave me without a TV for about 2 weeks as they would no doubt send it off and forget about it.

Thanks

Gavin

RE: My Widescreen is not widescreen? Please help

Ok, the black boarders top and bottom are ok, but what I am not happy with is the is the fact that the screen is stretched, well it is kind of hard to describe but it looks something like:
___
) (
------
when viewing anything on sky. I have tried changing the settings on the sky box from normal to widescreen to widescreen with letterbox but nothing helps. When eathcing a non WS program on sky there are no black boarders but the image is distorted.

Any help?
Please?

RE: My Widescreen is not widescreen? Please help

One example, I have a DVD and on the back it states that the aspect ratio is 16:9, I then checked that my DVD play was set-up to display widescreen instead of pan/scan or zoom. Now if I set my TV to 16:9 I still get black borders and lose some of the image.
I don`t think this is right as I am having to run it in 4:3 to get the whole image.

My Widescreen is not widescreen? Please help

Hi,
I have just bought a Matsui 28" widescreen tv. I have set my dvd player to 16:1, when I try it on the TV there is always about an inch of black on top and bottom when I run it on 4:1 (tv setting), and all of the other settings including 16:1 crop about an inch of the sides. I thought that this was not on widescreen tv`s??
Can someone please let me know if this is meant to be or I have just but a c*** TV.

Thanks

Gavin

TV Upgrade

Ok,
I have just bought myself a surround sound system from Richer SOunds (Sherwood AV recievier, eltax speakers & gale sub) and now I am been looking at my 21" mono Daewoo TV. I have decided that it was a cheap buy at the time but now I need somehting to suit my 39 stong DVD collection.
I am looking to spend upto £300 and would like to have a cabinet as well.
I am unbterested in widescreen and would like a S-video cable but will settle for SCART, also NTSC palyback would be nice.
Can anyone reccomend any TV`s, I have had a look at previous posts but most people are looking at spending more than I am.

Many Thanks

Gavin

DTS System HELP

Hi,
I currently have a Thomson DTH-4000 DVD player that currently runs though my TV. I want a 5.1 DTS system to enhance my DVD viewing. I have been looking though the messages here and based on a rough budget of £250 I believe that either a Yamaham VS-10 or a Videologic DTS Digitheatre would be best but I cannot find any.
I have checked all of my local stores and all I could find was the Yamaha for £350.
Is the new Scan AV6 system worth considering?
Please help I would like to have something within a few days but at least before next week end.

Thanks

Gavin
