How would everyone feel about having the scores "disappear" from the leader board after a certain period of time? There are a number of ways to do that, but the goal would be to make the leader board contain entries from people who are actively playing the game, rather than those who are just letting it run forever and making more and more babies.



I also think this is a good idea.

Someone mentioned having the leader board count mushrooms, since that would prove someone is actively playing. Howeverm, it is very easy to turn one mushroom into 10. So it wouldn't be a good test.

OTOH, ordered by the number of events might be better. As far as I could tell, an event is scheduled for a random later time. When that game is opened and the time passed, the event is displayed and a new event is scheduled. So if someone stays away from the game for several days (even if on pause or slow time) only one event will occur when they return.

This would mean that people have to open each game on a regular basis in order to get the higher "event" numbers.

Though there is probably a way that a cheater can increase these numbers as well.

Though maybe the solution should just be that the leader board is cleared each month.
