You could always just ignore those real life things, as some of us do!Hi Invitro,
Thanks for your work, nice to see the list updated, I really like the second version. I'm mostly content when I get my 1000 HOF points on my iPad TPA, so I guess being at place 73 in this list goes nicely with being above average on a lot of tables. This list has the potential to give me a new goal..... I'm not entirely sure this is a good thing as real life demands kind of get in the way of playing really lengthy games
Some Hack / Glitch Thoughts:
PS: 211K on Central Park and 87M on Big Shot are probably bogus scores, without pointing fingers at Lupo because it's known that TPA can sometimes mess up and put scores from one table on the leaderboard of another. It's kinda strange that this may have happened to Lupo 2 times though.
Lupo23 also has:
#2 BH 194M (just over vikingerik's 191M),
#3 Gorgar 34M,
#6 BK 235M,
#2 Victory 391M (just over vikingerik's 389M), and
#15 GoinNuts 9.5M,
in addition to the
#1 BigShot 87M and
#1 CentPark 211k.
I had him on my to-watch list, and I've banned him now.
I went through some scores, and banned several people, 16 of them. There seem to be more hacked/glitched scores on the leaderboards now than ever before. Most of the bans I made today were because someone had like a #4 score, and no other top 500 scores at all. I don't know if that's necessarily a hack, it could be a glitch, but I don't think it's skill.
I am considering requiring everyone to have at least four (or so?) top 500 scores before they can be ranked, or have their scores count at all. That would remove a lot of my hack/glitch uncertainty.
Some tables seem to get hacky/glitchy scores more often. For instance, I think the top 6 (!) scores, and 8 of the top 10, on Gorgar right now are hacks or glitches. Central Park, BH, and Big Shot seem to have a lot of oddities.
We know RBioN's leaderboard is chock-full of glitchy scores that are very close to 10B or 20B. I think the only really positive glitch I've noticed while I've been playing is on SS. But I may be misremembering that. I have forgotten if any other tables have reported major positive glitches, and I don't read many of the forums other than General these days. But I think I need to try to create some order out of what I'm observing. I now think a lot of the people I banned tonight were probably just glitches that I should remove as scores.
Here's one I haven't seen reported here yet: stevieboy has 73,998,483,500 on Diner.
And this: B.C. has #1 33M on HH, #489 on WWind, and no other scores.
And this: ApA has #1 Firep 627M, and some lower scores.
And this: dep has #6 TZ, #96 WD, and that's it.
And this: Glunt has #2 on BoP, #2 on Pin*Bot, and that's it. I'm thinking about waiting until Jack*Bot comes out next year to make a decision on this guy.
Hmm... much to consider...
