new feature...

on player rankings...how about their highest total score?

10:07 am

Mofi

player rankings are a mystery to me.

10:21 am

Dr_God

Rankings are based on your score vs. the other players. So the higher up you finish, and the more players you beat, the higher your ranking.

11:16 am

Mofi

gotcha. so finishing first in a large pool of players is better than finishing first in a small group.

11:16 am

Mofi

dr_god,
how about the column sorting?

11:19 am

Mofi

re: rankings -- how about rewarding those who play more often?

here's an idea..how about a records page. it could include:
highest score in a game
most words in a game
longest word found
most points for a single word
most first place finishes
thats all i can think of off the top of my head but im sure there would be some more interesting ones

12:37 pm

reck

5x 60 point words that i have found so far, but mostly gajillions of 4-12 point words.. not enough big ones though, and nothing over 60 so far

barcalounger: I have two, so maybe he's only lieing about three of them :)

4:02 pm

reck

I am not lying you damn Barcalounger. 125 / 5.5 / 2524, and I can't find another thing even though I've been poring over this board for 2 1/2 hours now.. Good thing it's slow at work today.

4:03 pm

reck

ponder your SKR words ... that one surprised me. I've read it before but no idea what the definition is! I don't need to know that do I?

6:14 pm

PaperCrane

Holy crap.. Thats a word?

8:14 pm

RadicalBender

That's exactly what *I* said. Since when did random onomatopoeia start showing up in the dictionary?

8:53 pm

Fortisque
