I wonder if this is the first Enchanted Forest question to ever appear on the Hint boards? About darn time if so, I say.

Gremlinn, it scares me that your top scores were created by going for "high on average" totals, and not with all-out, high-risk approaches. Do you mean you think much higher scores than your top ones are feasible?

When I play EF2, my goal is to get a very high score. If it becomes evident shortly after playing that that can't happen, I abort the game. (Or before playing: I often have to abort several games before I find a tree pattern I like.)

I feel like my EF2 strategies are just about ideal, and have never been able to figure out how you've been able to score so high so many times. There must be something you're doing that I'm not, but I can't figure out what it would be. (But then again, maybe not; I've certainly had a number of games that looked like they would have been new records, but then something very bad happened to cause an early death.)

By the way, does anyone know when the high scores will be back up?
