I don't know anything about getting a extra elder but 120 villiagers is possible and legal. Just be patient and keep playing and collecting.

Youd have to be pretty lucky to get it up to 120 since the limit is 115. but i can see how its possable, but its not statistically reliable. I do fear that alot of those on the leaderboard should not be there, but with new games and new programs, theres always people who shouldnt do what they do.

Yes the events are completely random, but then again thats what makes it entirely possable that somone has 53 elders, my game for example. the last 3 events i have gotten have been the exact same event for both of the games i have running right now. Darn rat swarm. but thankfully today i did not get that one again. so it is possable to have the same event more then once.

Its frustrating to think that theres people out there who use the Hex programs and cheats etc to get up on the leaderboard b4 any of us have a chance, i know, but just be patient, the wonderfull people of LDW will work their hardest to make things more fair and fun for the ones who do things properly.
