    Anyone here got any tips for the Treaty achievement? I spent two hours trying to get it last night but kept getting hit around 25 or 26.

    Some of the achievements (like Treaty and Wax Off) require a good bit of luck with enemy placement. The main tip is keep moving (obvious I know) - don't let enemies surround a safe zone.

    There is no real strategy to it, but having great manoeuvring skills helps - you need to be able to make those tight gaps.

    When I'm approaching 30 is it better to keep moving from circle to circle or wait a second in each one?

    I am about ready to give up on the achievement. It doesn't bode welll for Smile!

    I think keep moving and get it over with. You can't stay in a safe zone for more than half a second or you'll be overwhelmed.

    You need a bit of luck with the safe zone placement too - only 3 safe zones can exist on the screen at once and its much harder when they are far apart.

    Also for the blue guys following you around - safe zones slow them down a bit, so if you fly straight through a safe zone, the blue guys are held back for a second giving you some breathing room.

    *phew* This game must be the ultimate "One more go..." game. The leaderboard in the upper right corner is a stroke of evil genius. Trying to work on my deadline high score: third now, although don't know if I'll ever topple Smellyirishmans terrifying score!

    If you're terrified by SIM's score, don't add DjMorphos to your friends list. :)
    (He posted his gamertag a few pages back)

    Edit: Sorry - DjMorphos has a terrifying pacifism score.
    Add Ovrk1ll for an intermediate Deadline score to shoot for (about 9m)

    I'm still trying for Smile. HeyHeyAces guide was pretty good coupled with some Youtube video guides. I've nearly got it!

    My downfall in Smile (and the reason it took me so long) was my mindset - if I was doing well and I died in the wrong spot, I'd think "Ah I'll continue - this might be a good score".

    Don't do that. :)

    For levels 11,15,17,18 and 19, just stay still in the middle of the screen and die! You can worry about scores later.

    I also turned off the music (in the GW2 settings). It really helped me concentrate (and it was driving me nuts anyway).

    I got a pretty good score score on pacifism there (disregarding Djmorphos fantastic score of course! ;))

    112,000,000ish - pretty pleased with that, it should have been higher but I died in a crappy way!

    Yeah.. been there mate... the thing is after you pass the 100 million point mark you just gotta be really lucky with the gates. Your multiplyer will be very high so if you manage to get a "perfect" gate explosion (you know what I mean) you can be aiming for 20 to 30 million points per gate.

    So you just gotta keep calm and don't let those blues live too long... you need to be lucky with the gates but if you wait too long and let them mass chances are you will be trapped in a corner thanks to the HUGE amount of blue spawning everywhere... also you may have already noticed this, but try to avoid the corners anyway... its where the blue spawns and they have this bad habit of spawning in the same corner that you are heheh

    And you know... practice! I had to play pacifism 3 days straight to get that score heheheheh
