About records and how they are related to position | Forums

I hope this hasn't been already covered (I am lazy) but I was wondering why new results goes before old ones? Shouldn't it be exactly the opposite?

For example Mister X has a time of 1:00:00 and 100. place. If I get the very same time, I'll drop him to 101. and get myself 100. place against the "fairer" result of me being 101. and him still 100.

This rule was implemented to make the lists more dynamic. Later records can get ahead of you, and to stay on the top you have to "renew" your record.

This is implemented because we want new players also have a chance to reach top #1 spot in shorter levels (for example tutorial-1). Otherwise some player would reach the best score possible during the game release week, and nobody else would have any possibility to become number #1 in that track anymore (or reach the top 15 list after a month of two from the release).

I have a suggestion... give all who has the same result the same place? (Nah, this is fine system. I was mostly only curious.)

I thought about that too, some time ago. But exactly the reason mentioned above was my... second thought on that subject and i didn't post something about it. It's a lot better that way, otherwise i would never get the TopDog achievement
