Unfortunately there is a constant flood of cheaters on the leaderboard. And all the cheaters just make us paranoid. But they're usually very obvious. And luckily they have been taken away before reaching gold division in the tourneys. I guess we're just waiting for some cheater to play it cool and just creep along and stay low with the scores and not stick out, which seemed what you did. So it's not that we think you are so good you must be cheating, it's that last tourney your scores were barely good enough for top 20 and this time they were all like top 3 across platforms and divisions vary fast, and I admit I didn't follow the standings the first day or two, but when I looked at the tourney your scores were suddenly there and it seemed almost all were no:1 by the tiniest amount. Usually the good players will put up some scores that are just enough maybe but also a couple that are greatly better than the no:2 score, especially early on. It was like you didn't want to stick out, which made you stick out, if you understand what I mean. That and what seems to be a big inconsistensy in your scores. All of a sudden like 3-4 no:1 highscores on regular leaderboard posted on the same day. It's this kind of behaviour that just seems weird, not your scores themselves. You now, not only do we have the stream of opportunistic cheaters, also there are some real psychos out there who seem to take any shortcoming of Farsights products as a personal attack and they go to great lengths and pretty much make it their no:1 life priority to mess with Farsight and they do anything to hack, ridicule and just fu*k with everything they can. Yeah seriously. And the same guy(s?) are persisent and have been at it for a long time. Sorry it had to affect you.I don't at all think anybody better must be a cheater. I certainly know there are many great players out there. If I ever think I am somewhat good at pinball, next visit to my local pinclub will sure be a reality check and put my feet back on the ground. Too bad you can't post anymore and explain the inconsistensies and what's up with the sudden burst of scores, but it don't matter you don't have to explain yourself, I was just curious I just find it odd. Maybe you have a steep learning curve. Maybe you just went unnoticed before. Maybe the tables weren't very popular this time so the scores were lower overall. (We all know Fish Tales was the only table worth playing this month, right <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> )Anyway, great playing, looking forward to next months tourney and hopefully better table selection and looking forward to your streams, I always enjoy watching other people play.Thanks to you all and congrats to everyone who endured this months selection.</blockquote>
