Crowning Achievement
7Bold Statement time. I’m kicking butt and taking names at PaperIO, a game on the IO.games
You may remember us talking about SurviveIO, which was fun. Today I’m going to tell you about PaperIO.
PaperIO is a simple premise with a surprising amount of challenge. In the simplest terms, the point of the game is to control as much of the board as possible. You control a small square and as you fly around the board using the arrow keys to change direction, you convert the space you surround into your color. You can run over other color spaces, but when you are outside your own color, you leave a faint trail. If someone else runs into that trail, you die. If you run into that trail, you die. If you run into a wall, you die.
We found that this game can be set to “party mode” which creates a link for people to join the specific game, instead of a random game.
Right now, I have the high score, but we’re going to open this up to you guys too. Today I’m going to post a link. In the game at the end of that link, I will be attempting to gain 100% board control. Those that dare challenge me can click the link, and for 1.5 hours, I will let the challenge stand.
The first person to post a screenshot showing that they got 100% control, or whoever posts the highest score short of 100% will get a prize after that time.

Neat. Too bad I have a meeting, then stupid bookkeeping after that. Fridays are deposits days. Which is nice.

@lichme Have you considered letting your employer know it’s 2018?
@lichme
Paper-io.com is not the link!
My daughter rules at hole.io, and will take on all-comers.

Best = 63.30% I probably won’t top that.
/giphy salty
I’ve got to go attend a meeting and won’t be back to try again until around 4. my best was 46.06%.
I’m extending the runtime. You have until 3:30 PM Central Time to post your high scores.
@Cythwulf
I came back but couldn’t beat that score. Only could get to 29.6 this time around.
wait wait wait1!!! I just got 94.97
Thanks for playing, everyone!
@tnhillbillygal and @medz, you both win a $10 coupon!
@Cythwulf Thanks for introducing me to that game! It’s pretty fun once you figure out what you’re doing, lol. Medge is lethal whoever that is.
@tnhillbillygal Agreed. So was “b”
@Cythwulf @tnhillbillygal I was Medge. I didn’t go looking for trouble until other players started dancing with me, then I started to play offense to try to take out the threat. Didn’t try to hold grudges, though. “b” had my number pretty good.
@Cythwulf @medz lol, I treated it kinda like Seinfeld and Newman. I would spawn and there you’d be “Hello, Medggggeeee.” Nicely played
@Cythwulf @medz @tnhillbillygal I’ve played a little too much fortnite lately so when I see someone I go straight for the throat… oops lol
For some reason my brain doesn’t register the forum broadcast (insert dumbass comment here, it’s a fucking broadcast for crying out loud) so I missed it. Sounded like fun, mehbe next time!
@llangley My plan is to make this a weekly thing. Keep your eyes on the forums, I’ll be choosing games and announcing them here.
After reading the title of this post for several days I now can’t help but think some people’s “crowning achievement” was being born…
@jst1ofknd Dude. What you did. I saw it.
Huh, sounds a bit like the old MarioParty 4 minigame ‘Stamp Out!’ on steroids.
Suck it, bots!
(assuming those weren’t real players)
Still playing this when I’m on the phone for extended periods. I was the only player on the board but couldn’t make the sharp turn to finish off all my borders.
