The names on the leader board are the names that people have typed into the player slot in their game, and have no direct correlation to user names on the forums. Sometimes, forum members will use their forum name on their game, but I wouldn't count on it. For example, I most often use variations of my dog's name when creating new players!

The leader board is not much use. Since the game is in real time some players adjust thier system clock to make the game play faster and it blows the stats way out of whack. From the numbers that have been shown on the leaderboard from time to time it is pretty clear some people have cracked the game code and just thrown any numbers in there they wanted.

Maybe a second leaderboard that would only measure how many hours the game has been open rather than letting the game just run continously would give more realistic numbers as the current leaderboard is totally unbelievable most of the time.

My hours played has me ranked 2nd, but current leaderboard setup i dont show up on the board because my babies is only around 100 something. sigh.

You and me both, Monk. I finish my games with about 26-30 people and I hate having anyone die, so I stop my games at that point. Left to us China would still be an under populated country.. lol

i meant my babies made rank is 100 something not my actual babies. I've made over 700 babies in that game.

Ahh.. in that case I'm likely totally alone at the bottom of the baby stats. Mine is a totally dependable 999 rank..

We purged the stats completely, and we are trying a new filtering script that Barbara wrote. She'll monitor it and see if there are add'l ways to tweak it and make the leaderboard more satisfying.

i wondered why i jumped like 100 spots in some of the stats, so when they start refreshing again i will probably go back up tp 200 in most everything lol

I have games started on august 1st, september 1st and oktober 1st, but only the one started in oktober is making it to the leaderboard. Very strange !!!!

That's because of the changes I made to the stats script. The leader board had become sort of a trophy case for long-running games. Anyone who had recently started playing had no chance at getting on the board. It will not be possible now to get on the leader board simply by having a game running for a very long time.

There are still changes that I'd like to make, but this is at least a small improvement.
