[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 275477, member: 134"] Well this is my point entirely for wiping the boards annually! Because as the tables exist today, they are still not perfect, still could use some finessing. You can't just eliminate the top scores, you have to eliminate all scores by everyone that were achieved under those same conditions. While my high score in RBION isn't chart topping (2 billion or so I think) I did it under the prior tuning and can't easily get there now. And that was on the PS3, not PC. When things like the flipper physics were introduced, leaderboards should have been reset. Twilight Zone just got worked on, Monster Bash is currently being worked on, so the boards should reflect that. You can't question the legitimacy of scores when they were playing under the same conditions available to everybody then, same as if they posted a high score today only for a new version of TPA to come out tomorrow. The trolls and hackers are kinda obvious, as tandigab pointed out in the above post. My point in mentioning what players do to help FarSight out is not for them to deserve special recognition, but to point out that a hacker or troll wouldn't, and more to the point probably doesn't even know to identify all the quirks and rules. There are a ton of people on this forum that do just that but aren't as skilled in actual play. I can tell you exactly how to get a massive score in Creature, but executing it is a whole other task. Yes their scores are on a completely different scale than your average 'great' player. Like I said before, they approach it differently, using select shots to safely build a score and it is a painfully dull way to play pinball.
