And how do you intend to beat the top cheaters by playing fairly? On the flip side, how do you intend to make them play fair?

As has been posted already, the leaderboard is a wonderful concept, but scores are unpoliceable and 'fair play' is unenforceable.

I guess you can't top them, you can just hope their computers get messed up and their tribes disappear

And I do not plan to make them do anything, I meant that it was fun to see your own statistics and get at least close to the top ones.

I know what you mean - I'm just saying that the best honest player will rank below every cheater who puts in the effort, which is discouraging, and there's no way for LDW to police it. It's a good idea, but it just hasn't worked.

Very topical in view of the Olympics going on at the moment, and all the fuss about drugs cheats.

I was just wondering why my current 2 villagers who are masters in 3 areas did not get the Esteemed Elder title. I guess it's alright, as the island has gotten so full of totems that I had to rearrange them all! LOL!
