Oh boy! I just joined the first event!

[Euler13]

Registered for the event, completed a few sessions, achievement popped up at the end of the first session. Yay! That's twelve games I have 100% completion in now. Hooray!

Has anyone checked out the event leaderboard? Currently three days in and #1 has (supposedly) burned 9939 calories. I reckon you can burn about 500 calories an hour, which means he been has averaging six to seven hours exercise a day. Call me cynical, but...

Thanks for bringing that up, I'll pass it along.

Woot woot!!! Finally!!! Thanks Gypsy!!!

Hey, I'm loving the monthly event. It motivated me to push up my numbers. Treating calories as points for a hi-score is pretty cool. I am on the top-50 as Lumiss and I am working my way up!
Good luck everyone. Add me for friendly competition, and send me challenges as well.

Keep Sweating!

Yes. The problem with leaderboards is that there are a lot of immature people out there who will cheat just to get a high score. Quite an "achievement".

I suspect the "leaders" in YSFE have all cranked up the weight setting in the profile to the maximum (400 lbs, I think). This would dramatically increase the calorie count. I also suspect they have multiple people using the same profile.

This makes the leaderboards meaningless really. It's more of a curiosity. Only the Friends listing will be remotely honest.

Awesome. Just dusted off my game after a couple months. Glad to see this Community Event is finally happening.

[Gypsy816]

Also, the concerns about the leaderboard have been passed along and are being looked into.

Why people would crank up the weight to 400 lbs just to make the calorie counter get more calories is beyond me. #EpicFail people...#EpicFail
