high score tables unfair.

[HollyPop]

I'll bet Zidane (from the av list) benefits from that, and jazz_invincible will be middling.. as a C, i'm always far down

[Shifty]

so that explains why I got 3rd place trophy in double or nothing when I got the same score as people in 2nd!!
Poo.. Now I regret having a name that starts with B.

[twinklyspangle]

So now, do you reckon they'll be a rush on for all decent names beginning with z?

Would be better for tropy collectors.

[ocean_wave]

that's stupid, they should just have the latest person to get that score placed at the top, instead of all the username stuff. it isn't fair.

[Chao]

On a side note, i'm not sure if i'm getting my 250 neopoints a day for having a score high enough for a bronze trophy.....

[Dag]

It doesn't really affect me... just because none of my scores are good enough for the high score list

It can be unfair. But here's what I would do. Let's just say it looks like this:

3|Superneo|1000|Gold Trophy
4|Neoaddict|1000|Silver Trophy

That looks kinda unfair to me, considering they have the SAME SCORE. This is how I believe they should do it. If there's two or more of the same score, they should be placed in the same position. Like this:

3|Superneo|1000|Gold Trophy
3|Neoaddict|1000|Gold Trophy
5|Gameboy42690|950|Silver Trophy

(I wish I was on the high score list >_>)

Note that I made these names up (except for mine, of course) Also note that there are two 3rd place people, who both have Gold rather than one in 3rd and the other with the same score in 4th, with different trophies.[/quote]

it's been a long time. I sent 2 bug reports and 1 send feedbacks and still, the tables are reverse alphabetical.

(tnt member: lets see. what should i read now? bug reports? nah. i like icing people better MUAHAHAHAHA!!)

Although, that would be rather difficult in games with a maximum score like Grand Theft Ummagine ( http://www.neopets.com/gamescores.phtml?game_id=212 )where the top 32 scores are identical. I don't think TNT would want to give that many people a gold trophy for a game. The next best way would be to do it in order of time submitted. Problems may arise in that, too, if people send scores at exactly the same time, but the chances of them submitting a score in the exact same millisecond is fairly rare. Possible, yes, but rare. In that event, the username that comes last in the alphabet should be first. But only then. ^_^

It may be more difficult to track people's scores as well as their times. I wouldn't know. TNT should at least try it, in my opinion.

[Armi]

Bah...it's not my fault I chose "a" for my username my real name starts with an "a" -.- I should have went with choosing Zalo when I had the chance. But no...I chose to name my account after an armaidillo. Poo.

I really don't want to make up 47 months starting a Z account. Glad I only play a few games where username really matters.

I agree with the person who said that you get top score if you got there first, not by you name. Then again....watch timezones be involved. <_< "I didn't get gold cause I live in the timezone that 12 hours ahead of you people in the US!"


Oh yeah, I like Gameboy's idea too.

[ZH!]

Great job Alex! You have two usernames, and what letters do you choose to start them with? Why, none other than 'c' and 'b!'
[End talk about self in 3rd person]

It's good that I'm really bad at games. Otherwise, I would be furious at this. It would be more fair if they just gave the trophy to all that earned the score, or the person that earned it first, rather than the one named 'Zeopets23492' or whatever.

That's just not nice to those that are good at games.

[Yoshi]

Hm, one of the few advantages of having a username that starts with a "y".

I think they should just go by those classic scoring systems- if there are multiple same scores, they each should get the same place. For example, instead of:

1. a
2. a
3. a
4. b

It'd be:

1. a
1. a
1. a
4. b

A being one high score and b being a lower one, of course.

[Temiko]

Just to make a point about this "outrage". It used to be that those rankings were in alphabetical order. I only noticed they changed it a couple months ago (could have been longer) to reverse alphabetical. They're probably trying to equal out the inequality but reversing it...
