[QUOTE="JPelter, post: 203879, member: 623"] The main thing is it's really hard to drain on that table if you avoid taking certain shots. It's not exactly infinityable or anything, but you can grind it out longer than I have the patience for at least if you pick what you go for carefully. The #1 score is a little bit fishy, but not really bad enough that I'd immediately call it a cheaty score or anything. With enough work you could get there. The reason it is suspicious is that the dude seems to be pretty absent from any other table leaderboards. But hey maybe he just really really loves junkyard. I may have to take it as a challenge and see if I can top the score at some point. I'm a bit iffy in breaking the 10 billion barrier though since you never know where the overflow stops getting counted till you try it out. Would require a several day game regardless, and I've yet to pause for longer periods while playing anything. I guess you kind of have to to get top scores on some of the tables. Oh yeah I noticed something else. [MENTION=446]invitro[/MENTION] If I understood right the filter scores box on the site filters out obviously hacked scores as determined by farsight, right? A lot of those scores are included in your toplist calculations. I don't know if there's any easy way for you to determine if a score is filtered from the datadump you get or not, but I thought I'd let you know. [/QUOTE]
